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.).

GermanySliding door of our room not closing properly letting insects and noise form outside come in easily. Curtains to thin to black out the lights. Communication of guest representative not customer focused.
The view from the room is amazing. The sandy beach in front of the door with lots of shade very pleasant. The food at the restaurant varied and very tasty - even with sufficient options for kids (pasta, pancakes…). Very responsive manager and helpful with arrangement prior to our arrival. The high chair in the restaurant.

United KingdomThe breakfast and dinner buffet was always almost always empty, even if you got there early, and food always seemed cold. They never seemed to put more out that often. They need to have insence sticks to try tackle the amount of mosquitoes around the restaurant and seating area. We got bitten alive morning day and night, even with spray on to prevent.
The staff were all lovely and very friendly who are great with children. The rooms were nice with a good sea view. Nice and quiet. The lunch options were good to choose from.

PolandThe bathroom is not good and small. If you take a shower, everything around is wet. There is an open window, and mosquitoes can freely fly inside. They should install mosquito netting. The breakfast is considered very poor, even if your expectations aren't high. No proper coffee available for breakfast. The lunch/dinner options are too limited if you take HB/full board (surprising no fish/sea food).
The best thing about this guest house is the location and view from the balcony - it is just in front of the nice beach! The staff is very helpful and nice, they also clean the beach. The room is spacious enough. A/C works ok. Curry is tasty.

DenmarkNo indoor option other than the room. Somewhat annoying with lots of mosquitoes/ bugs. For a family with two small kids I think value for money was to low (as we needed two rooms). Next time i’ll find a place with a bigger room.
Great location just by the beach. Very quiet and relaxed island. Full board is local food and nice. Restaurant also serves more western food - not included in full board.

United KingdomBreakfast is a shambles, we mainly ate toast as other options not very good Food generally was tasty, but the property rarely had the menu on offer and relied on the buffet, which it reserves the right to do depending on occupancy. Normally buffet consisted of 5 items that were always, always cold, as not heated, so unless you time it right and they have restocked the dish, always cold. Staff are friendly, but the Maldivian way is so laid back, it takes a while to get ordered food and drinks …. No TV in our room even though it was booked
Location is excellent, 10mtrs from the beach, house reef about another 50mtrs out …. We were lucky to get a new room …. Staff always friendly and willing to help Food and drinks very good, unless from the buffet, which was all over the place

ItalyEach staff member is amazing, sweetheart and let you feel at home. Kista has golden hands for massage. Fazal is an exceptional manager and cooks in an exceptional manner. Fazal also organise a daily trip to shipwrecks and sandbank and we really enjoy it. Unfortunately I am not satisfied of the hotel like I was of the staff. The hotel has several pro as be on the beach, we were in on the beach room and is beyond comfortable. You go and come from the beach and swim and sleep with sea sound, BUT The room needs a severe maintenance, wall is full of humidity and also bathroom ceiling. I understand is hard considering they are directly on the beach, but I believe it is important to maintain room in a proper manner. The room photo are not so realistic considering the real condition of the room. Any courtesy kit. The WiFi is very lazy.

United KingdomOur disappointing stay began with an Instant feeling of distrust, on arrival we were handed and made to sign a multi page document of t’s & c’s with a huge price list for any items that “may get damaged” we were in constant fear of breaking something in the room with the fines list burned into our brain, $20 for a bed sheet and $30 for a kettle etc. We could maybe understand if this was a high end hotel but it felt low budget and was one of the most underwhelming properties we’ve ever stayed at, dirty stained towels with holes in, dodgy door handles, broken shelves and a very very basic room, my wife actually thought they had given us the wrong room. The shower went cold after a few minutes pretty much every shower, there’s sewage pipes going in to the sea and a foul smell along the beach that the property faces. You get 1 litre of clean drinking water a day between 2 people and after that you have to buy plastic bottles which if you purchase at the hotel are extremely overpriced for example a bottle of water (the EXACT same size and brand) in the room is more than 4x what it cost in the shop round the corner, the restaurant has really tasty food but tiny portions and high prices, then there’s the uncomfortable bed with just a thin sheet no quilt. The hotel will also charge you way more than anywhere else on the island for snorkel hire and their excursions were somehow 2 and 3 times as expensive as what we found elsewhere (less than 1 minute walk from thundi). The breakfast buffet was below average and we felt like a burden asking for eggs everyday but the other options were not great. The “juice” is squash from a bottle and even the beans had fish in them, if you’re a vegetarian you’ll struggle and if you’re vegan forget about it. Overall we regretted spending so much money to stay here and we found nicer places on the island for a fraction of the cost.
The staff were great, really helpful, chatty and friendly. They helped us organise boat transport and picked us up from the jetty and dropped us there when we left. The snorkelling outside the property was really good but the current can be strong with big waves.

Great location, helpful stuff - especially Fazlan, he helped with everything to make our stay comfortable. Nice cafe from the hotel with fresh fish. Super cool view from the balcony - palms and turquoise water

Indiabreakfast was good but very basic with Maldivian breakfast (roti and fish chutney like), bread, fruits, sausage and Kelloggs.
The room had a beautiful sea view as promised. You can step out of the room to the beach in 10 steps. The beach was lovely with blue water and white sand. The water was so clean and clear and the sand soft and white. Kids loved playing around. It felt like a private beach though it was a local island. The food was very good for lunch and dinner. The chef did an exceptional job.
