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...).

United KingdomNothing to dislike.
Our time at Empyrean Stay was perfect. All the staff were very friendly and helped out whenever we needed it as well as giving us a tour of Thulusdhoo on our first night. Our room was always very clean. Novi went above and beyond to help us, she showed us the available excursions every day that she also booked for us which saved a lot of hassle. We couldn’t recommend this hotel enough and hope we can go back in the future!

United KingdomEverything was exactly as we would have wanted it to be.
Novi and her team were amazing. Their hospitality was second to none. Novi invited us for a walk around Thulusdhoo, explaining local fruits and showing us places to eat and the pier where you could view sharks and rays. We were even treated to a freshly caught grilled fish for dinner one evening which was a real treat. I would recommend anyone looking for comfortable accommodation with everything you would need for your stay on Thulusdhoo whilst still being budget conscious to consider staying at Empyrean Stay.

CroatiaI cant think of one aingle thing they can improve.
I stayed at few places and seen ever more on the Island during my stay. This one is the best by far. Its very new and well made. The materials are high quality. Location is great. Bed is very comfortable, and pillows as well. They provided 4 pillows. The bedsheets and pillows seem new. Nice and clean for aleeping! Everything was very clean, I felt like at home. No other places Iv stayed were this clean. The guys keep the room clean on my request, bring water and anything you like. Absy and Novi and the two guys take great care of you, make sure you have anything you need. The prepare any meal for you and its tasty. Further more the took care for me like family when I was sick for few days, even took me to the doctor two times! This is my favorite place to stay on the island! One big happy family 🫶

FranceThe residence is located in a quiet street of the island, 1 mn away from the ocean and about 5 mn walk from the bikini beach. The communication with the owners is excellent and they arrange everything you need to arrive to their place from Male and also activities. The rooms are very modern, large enough and with anything you need. Just mind that some rooms have windows to the outside and some other to the corridor. The breakfast is good.

EstoniaThose who are sensitive to noise, I recommend choosing another room in the same house as I could hear water pump work every time someone was using water, especially at night.
So kind, hardworking and helpful staff. The house and my room looked nice and were always clean. Breakfast was excellent and I could choose the time when to eat. Overall, it's a great place to stay if you choose Thulusdhoo for your next destination.

Novi and her husband were absolutely amazing hosts. - they were so welcoming and catered to our every need. The breakfast which we received every morning was delicious (we didn't even know it was included, so this wad a great bonus). They arranged our boat transfers to and from Mali airport, and picked us up from the port. They recommended restaurants, and excursions. They were only ever a text message away if you needed anything. The room was spotless, and provided everything you need! I would definitely stay at Empyrean stay again and would recommend it to anyone wanting an excellent place to stay in Thulusdhoo!

SlovakiaSuch amazing stay in Thulusdhoo! The apartment was very modern and clean, and very close to the beach. I could choose a time for breakfast, which consisted of both salty and sweet food. The owner Absy was a very kind, helpful person, and the stuff was also very helpful when I wanted to get informed about the local prices of restaurants or water sport activities. There was a possibility to have a transfer from the port to the apartment, but I preferred walking. When I come back next time, surely will I stay in this apartment!

United StatesThe only thing to be aware of is that all the rooms may not have windows - mine only had a window in the bathroom so I did not get much natural light, not a big issue for this stay as I was mostly out and about during the day.
Novi, the owner is such a gem - within a few moments of booking the hotel, she reached out to to confirm my transfers and even came to pick me up from the boat. It really felt like a home away from home!
