Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThe owner of this private listing made an attempt to connect for convenient transference of information via whatsapp, although sometimes information was confusing..like car pick up, how you enter building tower complex to find the apartment, necessity to to pay further money (car pick up and recent increase in country Green Tax). The apartment appears to have undergone recent renovations, with tools and construction equipment strewn behind cloth curtains in kitchenette, crockery & cutlery left stored in dish rack on sink top and kitchen cabinets permanently closed with boards screwed in place. The advertised washer was stored on an open balcony, and with Maldives warm and rainy climate -the washer was unusable-mouldy smelling and dirty door-rim. The advertised 'sound-proof ' walls were not so, with sounds from neighbouring apartment and mechanism of the very close elevator constantly sounding. Beds were not made up with top and bottom sheet, which meant person's body is in contact with same blankets as previous customer. While I am familiar with the type of cook-top, both my travel partner and I could not get it to turn on, and there were no instructions. The shower room is all in one -so toilet gets wet while showering - All in all this apartment did not quite meet expectations, therefore, not value for money.
This small apartment was close to the beach in Hulhumale residential area (not the original old Male island), and gave an opportunity to know part of the current-day Hulhumale culture. Each of the two rooms had an independent bathroom.making it perfect for travelling friends. With some additional planning and renovation, this apartment has increased potential. The general cleanliness of the bedroom and apartment was pleasing. A small local market was close , enabling access to Maldivian 'take-away' and introduction to local culture and foods. The local beach provides lovely stretch to walk;swimming is permitted in long shorts and long sleeve top as this is a Muslim community.

Saudi ArabiaNo toiletries
Neat and clean appartmnt with all basic necessities provided, although toiletries were not there but still the house was clean n well settled, no bad smell no any dust or even neighbour's were calm n decent, manager guided us well abt near about. Above all, Mr Ibrahim the owner contacted us every now and then and asked us abt what V need or what guidance V want, he was thoroughly wd us which was really appreciateable, Mr Ibrahim also helped us changed currency n provided us ruffiya on our arrival while we were carrying dollars wd us. The flat screen TV had sound system and had channel access, overall it was gud to stay there.

South AfricaIt would be great if both bathrooms had hot water. Especially coming from beach with a family of 5 and everyone wanting to use the shower. But Ismail did say he has a small family so didn't need 2 bathrooms with hot water. None the less it was fine.
The host Ismail was very helpful throughout our communications. He organised a car to take us to the accommodation from the ferry drop off at the male airport. The establishment was really lovely. 2 bedrooms, nice small lounge and kitchen/dining area. The kitchen had all the cutlery and crockery one will need to enjoy a meal. It also had a washing machine to use,including detergents free of charge. Beds were comfortable and we had good WiFi connection to enjoy a movie at night. Ismail also took us for a complimentary supper which I have never experienced a host do. This was so much appreciated. The unit is so well equipped,it honestly felt like home. It had an ironing board and iron as well. We could have spent an entire week here exploring hulumale. But only booked 3 nights. Also shops and affordable restaurants just outside the building. If we ever in the Maldives again,we will without a doubt book this establishment. Thank you so much to Ismail our host, for such an incredible place to stay while exploring beautiful Hulhumale.

United Arab Emirates1 - During the second day of my stay, the host called me and "advised" me to leave the apartment at 10h00, pretending that the airport is very busy. The guy wants me to go to the airport 5 hours prior to my flight!! It was a total lie, he just wanted to get the apartment early 2 - The apartment was not cleaned enough: rotten eggs in the fridge, fortunately we didn't gave them to our kids, dirty sheets in a basket, did not even dare to remove them 3 - The property is at the extreme north of the Hulhumale, in a new residential area of many many buldings, nothing nearby and NOT suitable for tourists at all

MalaysiaVery close to the beach. Restaurant and grocery shop are just at the ground floor. The owner is kind enough to assist us with the transportation. There are also other facilities provided eg washing machine (with detergent liquid), NETFLIX, iron, microwave oven, kettle, and even battery bank and face mask. Very easy to get transportation too (taxis are all around) as H12 to the 1st phase costs you Rf 30 and to Male Rf 100. Extremely worth the money since every thing is expensive here in Maldives.

Czech RepublicVery communicative owner. He gave us detailed instructions and was very helpful, for example if you urgently need a taxi to airport early in the morning, he will arrange everything! The apartment is in the highest floor in a lively house, so sometimes the elevators take a bit longer. The flat itself was very nice and modern with everything we needed. Just on the ground floor, there's a little local fastfood restaurant with good food and prices.

Saudi ArabiaIt will be greater with a hot water (heaters) inside the toilets , other than that every thing was great 👍
The Owner Mr. Ibrahim was very nice.., He contacted me several days before arriving, asking me about my schedule for our staying in Male/Honhumale , he offered to book a big ( van taxi ) for us as we were four adults with luggage .. And actually I asked him to help us with one prior checking out and he helped us with one at a better price too :) .. The flat it self is cozy and a good value for money choice with a very beautiful sights for the near by Ocean/ beach :)

AustraliaThe kitchen area could use a bit of cleaning and decluttering. Aside from that, it was a great stay, and I’m sure they will only improve.
We had the pleasure of being the first tenants to book this apartment in Hulhumale and stayed for one night. The experience was delightful. The accommodation had good air conditioning, which made our stay very comfortable. The host was exceptionally accommodating, even taking us out for dinner as a gesture for being the first people to book. The double room offers a beautiful view of the ocean, adding to the charm of the stay. There are plenty of convenience stores around the accommodation, making it easy to access essentials. The apartment is excellent value for money, with new towels and linen provided. Apartment is located in a residential area( Phase 2 ). Therefore, we experienced the authentic local experience as well.
