How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAbsolutely amazing stay – highly recommended! We had a fantastic experience at this hotel in Thulusdhoo. The view is absolutely stunning, and the hospitality was outstanding from the moment we arrived. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive – truly exceptional service in every detail. The food was honestly one of the best we had on the island. We even noticed that guests from other hotels would come here just to eat – and for good reason! We had read some mixed reviews about the breakfast on Booking, but we were pleasantly surprised. Breakfast was excellent every single day: fresh fruits, different types of bread, local dishes, cakes, coffee, tea, juice, and eggs made to order – you could choose exactly how you wanted them. What also stood out was how helpful the staff were with everything. They offered to take us anywhere on the island, at any time, and helped us arrange boat transfers to other islands, book massages, recommend restaurants and local activities. From housekeeping to room service to the restaurant staff – everyone was friendly, warm, and genuinely committed to making our stay perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re planning to stay in Thulusdhoo! Special thanks to Chamila, who went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. He helped us so much with transportation and scheduling, and truly made sure we had a unique and seamless experience. We are very grateful!

Verified reviewGreat staff; great location; great view from room terrace. We really enjoyed the excursions which were offered from the hotel, very helpful reception and staff. You can get beach towels from hotel, and buggy tour around the island for free. They will also pick you up&drop by the speedboat on arrival/departure for free. Overall facilities were okay, very good for the price. We walked around the island a lot and saw many other guest houses, those looked very sad. So Reef EDGE is definetly one of the top 3 mini hotels on this island :) We havent had breakfast as it was not really our menu, and its fine.
What could be improved: bed and mattress are very very soft and like with holes in the middle (because those are old or used a lot), I had lower back pain every morning. Secondly, as humidity level is high, pillows and blanket are having mold/humidity bad smell.

Verified reviewOverall okay, however there are some easy imporvments that would make the experience much better: 1- improve Custumer service at reception, the operation manager was unfriendly and unhelpful 2- building maintenance: they acknowledged major issues in the room (curtain barre fell down) but no one took the initiative of fixing it 3- quality of breakfast was not up to the most basic standards. Eg. disgusting « Nescafé » coffee burnt every day, the staff had no interest in improving it. Cold and unhealthy food With a little care, this hotel could be a nice average standard accommodation

Verified reviewComfortable beds with daily housekeeping. Possibility to lend out snorkel gear, bikes, floaties etc. Close proximity to bikini beach, about 3 minutes walking. Attentive staff, carried our luggage up the stairs for us! Pick-Up and drop-off from harbor. Small seating area in front of room with decent views. Welcome drinks and they can book excursions for you.
Breakfast wasn't great to be honest, it's nice that it was included but we didn't think much of it. On our last day there was slightly brown and dirty water coming from the tap when we turned it fully to the right. I celebrated my birthday here and let them know about that in advance but they didn't do anything regarding that - not that I expected that! It's just I wouldn't recommend coming here if you plan on having a nice birthday getaway.

Verified reviewA good location overlooking the sea and 3 minutes from bikini beach. Breakfast was simple and adequate enough to make one happy. Staff were very helpful and thank you to Sharoof, Shariff and Kavitha and others for making our stay very pleasant . Within 200 metres, many restaurants too so we have many options for food.
nothing not to like - just that a beach front area for sun bathing would be perfect as need to go nearby bikini beach for that.

Verified review- location was very good, very close to the beach - staff very helpful and supportive - transport to and from the hotel went smoothly - bikes and snorkling gear available without costs - breakfast was fairly good, would like to see some more variation - room was clean - price / quality was good
- breakfast was too simple and could have some more options. They have a lot of sweet items and standard meat options that do not vary and little ‘fresh’ options. - I found the bed (mattress) to be too soft, resulting in back ache. My wife did not have this. - the manager did not do anything for our honeymoon while having asked for this twice

Verified reviewJust fantastic, it felt like home, thank you so much to all the team, from the beginning with Reesha, you were so helpful and made it so easy arranging the arrival, and with Sharoof collecting us and organizing a great stay, and all the team helping every day, we could just not ask for more, thank you! The last day we were leaving, our boat was departing very late and we were offered to stay in the room without extra charge until we left, it was life saving for us to enjoy the last day in the island without problems. It is a little hotel with the best views looking out to the sea, just beside Coke's surf break, couldn't be closer and just at the start of Bikini beach. The whole crew was always ready to help, to drive us down to sunset beach, to arrange any excursion we were interested in, best restaurant suggestions,... Breakfast was lovely, we would always get eggs baked for breakfast and all other options available. Rooms were always cleaned and towels given and nice cold water replaced daily. The atmosphere at the hotel was very special.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. It truly means the world to our entire team to know that you felt at home during your stay. From the moment of your arrival to your last day, we loved being part of your island experience and ensuring everything was as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We're so glad you appreciated the little touches, from the late check-out to the daily service, and of course, the breathtaking views of the ocean and Coke's surf break. It was our pleasure to assist with excursions, restaurant recommendations, and everything else to make your stay memorable. We hope to welcome you back to Reef Edge Thulusdhoo again soon! Until then, we wish you many more fantastic travels. Best regards, Reesha & the Reef Edge Team

Verified reviewFantastic location, with all rooms having a sea view. Just a quick walk to the nearest bikini beach, and a number of restaurants. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. The rooms were cleaned well and had everything we needed. Good selection for breakfast. Sadly did not use the restaurant for dinner, purely because my daughter is extremely fussy, which limits her options of choice
Wi-Fi crashed a little on the last day in the room, which I needed for checking in for my flight etc, but was fine in the reception area. These things happen though. A bathroom mat would be good to use when getting out of the shower, so as not to slip so much

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel is great, just next to the gorgeous bikini beach, with lots of restaurants around. The surroundings are very quiet and the place is relaxing, with a beautiful garden. The breakfast was good. Personnel is nice and attentive, they lent me a yoga mat, which was very appreciated (for yogis, there are great yoga spots near the hotel) and they also helped me with the speedboat to go to the airport. The hotel is very clean. It is easily accessible from the airport, only 30 minutes with speedboat.
Price is expensive for rooms on the first floor, which do not have a great view as the stair is just in front and blocks the sea view. The size of the room is a bit small. I had to shorten my stay and stay 3 nights less than planned for external reasons and no gesture was made to refund any night or to compensate part of it.

Verified reviewThe guesthouse is round the corner from the bikini beach- approx 2minute walk so really close but away from all the busy-ness. We had a lovely view of the sea from our room. Sharoof and all of the staff were amazing- friendly, helpful & laid back. Highly recommend taking advantage of the free snorkelling and bikes. The Maldivian breakfast and omelettes were excellent and we had the best time. Nothing was too much of a problem and we felt so comfortable staying there. Thank you everyone!
