Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

PolandEverything was great!
Very enjoyable stay, wonderful and helpful owner. Shakir took me on all kinds of trips, supported me during snorkeling, because I am terrified of deep water, but thanks to him everything was wonderful, I have recordings and photos from GoPro as a souvenir. We also recorded drone videos on the beautiful Sand Bank beach. Shakir made delicious Maldivian breakfasts and also did a great job of cooking the fish we had previously caught during the night fishing. It was so fun and enjoyable that I stayed longer. I will definitely come back soon!

Maldives- The breakfast was the same every day.
- Nice location, close to the public beach. Not too far from the bikini beach. - Spacous air-conditioned room and a big bathroom in a good condition. Had a room fridge, iron, small safe box. - Breakfast: you get a traditional dish (coconut, tuna, onion mix), eggs, 3 pita pieces, fruit and juice. You can also have some toasts with jam and butter. - The host, Mohamed, is a great cook. Recommend ordering grilled fish for dinner. It is served with rice and seasoned vegetables. Tasted great. - We had a diving excursion we really liked. Mohamed took us to some interesting places for snorkeling, took some nice photos. - The staff was helpful and satisfied all our requests. They showed us around the island as well.

SerbiaEverything about this little place of Guraidhoo is amazing. It's a local place and really cute. Our host was spectacular! He did everything in his power to provide us with best service. Breakfast was always tasteful, room was always clean, AC is working, excursions are available all around Guraidhoo. Our last night was crowned by dinner which was prepared by our host. We never experienced such a hospitality! Thank you for everything it was really beautiful and we will definitely be back as soon as possible! ޝުކުރިއްޔާ ވަރަށް އަވަހަށް ބައްދަލުވާނެ!

ItalyFirst night we had to stay in a room we didn’t book for, it was horrible, humid, bad smelling bathroom and windows on the inside building. Stuff was good people, but not so spontaneous, they could be more smiling, but sympathetic children made it a better ambiance. We’ve been charged 5% extra for paying with card.
2nd room we booked for, comfortable bed, cleanness, family ambiance.

NetherlandsIt was the worst place where we stayed on the Maldives Don't expect a nice pension .The reading above 9 is not correct. It is really a simple place, more for the back packers budget. Thow we are travelling for long time and we are staying in lower budget accommodation. The room was small, the view from the window was on the wall from other building. The owner didn't propose any food( like other guests described) but we could use their kitchen wat was a plus. We didn't get any offers for snorkeling trips. We didn't eventually. We did buy a realy nice half day snorkeling trip next door by Bubbles Excursion. It was realy worth it! We swam in one day with mantas, turtles and other beautiful fishes. They are really nice if you want to go by boat to Male or somewhere else, they walk you to the harbour even though it is only 5 meters away, but this is because they get commission if they book tickets for you. If you can manage to book yourself, it will be cheaper.
It was clean and there was a fridge in the room.
