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 KingdomThere was no bike hire service at the hotel, but bikes could easily be rented at One Season Hotel (5 mins walk) for $5 a day. As Thoddoo is a fruit local island, some level of unfriendly fauna (mosquitoes) is expected, so don't forget your repellent and tie any opened food bags in your room. The air conditioner might need an upgrade. The bed was comfortable enough but could use an upgrade too. While we are not fans of watching TV in such a paradise, the TV set was a bit old and not able to show anything (local TV or streaming) but we didn't bother too much, taking a walk or having a mocktail in Thoddoo at night is a much better experience. The hotel adds a 3.5% charge for any card payment but informs you in advance in case you want to pay by cash. Also, there is an ATM near the port area that accepts all the major international cards.
We had an amazing experience at Thoddoo Relax Hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, greeting us with a refreshing coconut upon arrival. They facilitated our transportation from Male Airport to Thoddoo via speedboat for $35 per person per leg, departing at 10am and 4pm. Special mention to the hotel manager Shin Moe —they always did their best to make us feel welcome and provide any help we needed. Communication via Booking or WhatsApp wasn't immediate, but they responded to all our questions within a day. The room and common areas were excellently cleaned with daily towel changes. The temperature at night was perfect, thanks to the air conditioner and ceiling fan. The hotel provided two bottles (2L) of filtered water per day, along with shower and beach towels, shower gel, handwash, and a hairdryer. They offered various trips and beach dinner packages with discounts for hotel guests. Ade and Tomas, two extraordinary snorkelling guides, made our trip to the Maldives even more special with sharks, mantas, coral reef, and sandbank trips. The hotel is centrally located on the island in a quiet location, just a 10-minute walk from Bikini Beach or the city center area where most shops and restaurants are located. It's also a 1-minute walk from a small but excellent local market (Ihuru Baazaaru), well-stocked with local fruit, jam, ice cream, and Sea Almonds (Kanamadhu). It's a great place to get your treats while supporting local farmers. We opted for full board, and all meals were served in a restaurant opposite the hotel. The food was a mix of international and local cuisine (Mas Huni) for breakfast. They accommodated all dietary requirements (lactose intolerance) with no issues. Breakfast and dinner were served on the ground floor, but the upstairs restaurant had a great selection of local and international food. The espresso was excellent.

HungaryYou should be aware that alcohol on Thoddoo island is strictly forbidden and is not served anywhere. We read there is a possibility to go to a boat bar for 5$ pp, though we didn't try. We went before the season started and thus had a few rainy days which resulted in the roads being flooded - this is a unique experience and should not hold you back for sure 😊
We were upgraded to a villa which was an amazing surprise. Beautiful place. The staff was very kind. Daily cleaning and towel change. Air conditioner was working perfectly. We loved returning every day. We booked half board. The food is served in a pretty little restaurant around the corner and the food was very delicious. Not huge portions but we were satisfied. We also loved the location. Close to a bikini beach.

HungaryUnfortunately the exchange rate from dollars to MVR is not the best. It is worth to pay with dollars at the hotel, and at other places owned by the same company.
The staff was very respectful and helpful. They came to clean our room every day. It is located in the middle of the island, so everything is very near.
