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.).

Good room, furnished with all necessary appliances. However, the washing machine started leaking from under the lid when we used it. Great location.

I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse. What impressed me most was the genuine kindness of all the staff, and above all the manager, who went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Their warmth and attention to detail exceeded every expectation. On top of that, the location was perfect, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We were greeted by the most nicest team of people. Very welcoming and willing to help. They helped us plan our trip to Omadhoo the next morning and told us where we have dinner the night we arrived/breakfast the morning of our departure to Omadhoo. They also upgrated the room we had booked to a tiny apartment without any extra charge. They even said that, on our last day, since we had some spare hours in the city of Male before we caught our flight, we could go to their hotel and leave our bags there and, if needed, we could even shower before we went to the airport. So helpful and kind hearted. Absolutely recommend it!

United KingdomPerfect for a last night if you have a flight in the early morning. The owner is a very nice person, he gave us lots of information and he drove us around the city explaining a bit about his island. The beach (no bikini) is close if you want to go for a walk and there is a kindergarden about 5/10 minutes walking.

PhilippinesIt was close to everything, the shops are just few steps from the property, the kids would always ask for cash so they can shop. Not so favourable for me lol
All the staff are very flexible and helpful, our family had to change travel plans last minute. I have contacted arend 20 hotels already and this is the only one that helps us with every process, what to do and when. They helped with the immigration form etc, allowed us to check in directly from the airport at 5am which no other hotels would. The owner went and beyond to make sure my kids are not bored. We have travelled around the world and honestly not much hotels would do what they have done here to make our travel easier with the kids. I would highly recommend and definitely will be coming here. Walking distance from the beach also.

Stayed here 3 times in one month during our stopovers between islands. Irufan and Jamir are kind and helpful. We were upgraded to a bigger room. Comfy bed, hot shower and working WiFi. They allowed the use of kitchen which is nice to just cut some fresh fruits from the store nearby. Location is perfect - short distance from airport/ferry, port for scuba diving and eateries and grocers. Will definitely return. Highly recommend!

NorwayI arrived late in Male and stayed here for just one night before leaving to an island. I was offered a pickup from the airport for a price, and the driver was very helpful. He informed me about nearby restaurants and shops in case I needed it. The room was clean. As I only stayed for 1 night and left early, I don’t know enough about the area or the personell to comment.

GermanyEverything is perfect!
The location is perfect – close to various restaurants, supermarkets, and the harbor, which was very convenient for diving trips. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly kind and friendly. They picked me up from airport, which was a relief due to the heavy luggage and the hot weather. The owner went above and beyond by helping me with currency exchange and even taking me to a specific shop I wanted to visit in Malé. He also gave me a lovely tour of the city from a local perspective, which I really appreciated. As a diver, I was also very happy to be able to dry my equipment on their balcony – super practical! Highly recommend this place for both comfort and local hospitality.
