How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention several issues we encountered during our stay at your guest house on the 31st December 2023, which we have booked 3 weeks before, 10th of december to be exact. Regrettably, there were significant discrepancies between our booking details and the actual provisions during our stay. Despite reserving a deluxe double room, we were assigned a single room upon arrival. Furthermore, the amenities in the room did not match our booking, as we found only two pillows and one towel. Additionally, we had requested bed decoration, which unfortunately was not arranged. These deviations from our confirmed reservation have considerably affected our experience. In light of these issues, we kindly request a refund for the price difference between the single and double room. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and kindly request that you process a refund for the applicable amount at your earliest convenience.

Everything was superb! Nice place, lovely people and super well located. He came to greet us at the ferry terminal and even invited us for dinner one day! We could borrow the snorkel kit and use the kitchen as which was great. Definitely recommend it and will stay here again when we come back to thuludshoo

Nurr is wonderfull person. He help me with everything. He was waiting for me when i ariive by ferry, and then we walk together to the hostel. Probably this is the cheapest private room in all Maledives. Clean place. Close to everywhere as island is small.

The air con was set a little too cold but I easily could adjust it. Don’t think the room is luxury but as a young single traveler it’s perfect for what you would need.
Awesome guest house with amazing manager Nurul. Only stayed for two nights and wished I had stayed for more. I knew nothing about Thulusdhoo and was greeted with open arms. Check out the beach and if you have time, the Coca Cola factory. Plenty of snorkelling spots and even place to surf. Totally worth the 2 hrs on the ferry from Male for only $1.50. Such a cliche to say I’ll be back but I most definitely will.

Staff weren't so responsive when I texted them. There was also some construction going on outside the guesthouse throughout my period there so tt was not a really nice sight.
It's close to the beach and comes with all the needed amenities that are in good condition.

Place doesn't look like on the pictures. Alom is super nice and polite but that doesn't change the fact that kitchen was outrageously untidy and smelly. Fridge was washed and cleaned NEVER so as cupboards. Bathrooms are also on very low hygienic level. Pillows under the pillow cases were dirty and smelly. Furniture was old and it was falling apart as it was soaked more times by the water which was going inside the rooms due to monsoons. Internet was very very very bad.
Vicinity of the beach is definitely a plus. Literally 20 steps and you are at the best part of the beach on Thulusdhoo.

Good value for money, one of the very few budget placed in the maldives. Mr Alom was a very good host, he tried the best he could to make my stay comfortable. There is a good restaurant (Bandaha Cafe) nearby that serves good and inexpensive food (which is hard to find in the maldives).
