Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe shower could do with a revamp, tad dated and finicky to work out. Breakfast could definitely improve.
Maladiwa Beach and Spa in Maafushi is an absolute treasure that exceeds all expectations! From the first moment we stepped foot on the property, the inviting and friendly ambiance created a perfect start to our memorable stay. The staff, spearheaded by the exceptionally accommodating owner, Abdul, consistently went the extra mile to guarantee our comfort and happiness throughout our time there. The staff’s hospitality truly stands out; they welcomed us and shared valuable tips on the best local attractions. Their genuine care for the guests shines through in every encounter. The team mirrored the owner Abdul’s enthusiasm, always presenting a friendly smile and readily available to help with any request. The bikini beach is super close, offering a stunning setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. The tranquil atmosphere, paired with such attentive service, created a truly enchanting experience. If you're seeking a place to unwind and feel genuinely cared for, Maladiwa Beach and Spa is the ideal destination. I wholeheartedly recommend it! A huge thank you to Abdul and the entire staff for an unforgettable experience—we look forward to our next visit!

NetherlandsThe location was perfect and the food in the hotel was great! Extremely friendly and professional staff, well trained!! We created a Little problem by booking an early flight from Male, not taking the earliest speedboat departure into account. Abdul helped is out in a perfect way and problem was solved. Would recommend this hotel when visiting Maafushi!

Where do I start. Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. As someone who has travelled to 45+ countries, this is one of the top places I have ever stayed. From check-in, Abdul and his incredible team made me feel at home. They had prepared a little birthday surprise for me, and this meant more than I could ever express! The room was extremely clean and had all the facilities needed. The staff - oh my gosh they were just INCREDIBLE! The lovely Balinese girl who checked me in continuously checked on me throughout my stay. The waitresses, in particular the girls from Bali and one from the Phillipines (I think!!) were so hospitable and provided the best service I’ve had almost anywhere. The food in the restaurant was incredible, and the discount at the restaurant for staying there was a bonus ;) The location was 10/10, I honestly could not fault a single thing about this hotel. Showers were warm also (seen a few comments about them being cold but did not notice this), a very safe area (I was a solo female traveller) and an incredible island. Thank you again team, I will be back & I will be recommending this property to everyone I can!

SpainI had an experience with my credit card at the Restaurant (I didn't have that day enough cash money). I wanted to pay in Rufiyaa (local currency) by credit card but I couldn't. You should to pay ONLY in Dollars, However according to the laws it is NOT MANDATORY IN ANY COUNTRY to pay with another currency (for example Dollars). I contacted the Administrador via WhatsApp (Abdul is His name) and His answer: You can't pay in Rufiyaa, You can pay only cash in Rufiyaa. In case don't You have cash money, You can go to ATM.... really Mister Abdul do I can do that???... I didn't know it (writing ironically). That's why I gave it to the Hotel a 8 and NOT a 10 as I wanted... I think I have been too generous!. One thing that I forgot!, I contacted to the Administrador with enough time (2 times) from Fulidhoo Island via WhatsApp to pick me up someone at Port... no answer from Him the second time. Thank God! I had Internet, I can speak English and finally the Hotel wasn't not far! 😏😒 but ANSWER IS A MUST! and We the Tourists appreciate!.
The Hotel provide all the time drink water and that's perfect to avoid the plastic that You will find on every corner in Maafushi ☹️. The Restaurant Melon an good option to eat, the waiters Febi and Umi FANTASTIC 😀 and the rest of the waiters too (almost all Girls are from Indonesia and that's why I guess so nice people). I spent all my cash money there during the whole week. Room simple but quiet at night and inside You have all what You need. WiFi in room works well...
