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...).

Czech RepublicHad the best stay in Maafushi. The staff was very attentive and took the best care of us and helped us to organize trips. We especially loved the breakfast. Cleaning service available every day as well as fresh water 24/7 upon request. The staff organized speedboat transfer from the airport which ended up being cheaper than official prices. Also got the best money exchange rate from them. Would stay again!

United KingdomThis is a small boutique hotel, just 7 rooms, so bear in mind when breakfast is 7 to 9.30am then there will be limited breakfast options, no 24h reception, etc etc. So manage your expectation and you will be super pleased if you stay at Island Ambiance.
From the moment Raikib met us at the Island ferry and took our luggage to the minute we left, the team could not have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. The team were always a whatsapp away for any of our questions and also helped with explaining how things worked locally and recomendations. We stayed for 7 nights. The aircon was a bonus, especially every day was 32 degrees.

Thank you for a perfect stay. The hotel is small and modest, but everything was clean. Every day the guys asked us if we wanted clean towels (even for the beach) or clean up. Both guys were very nice and helpful. They pick you up at the marina upon arrival and go to see you off when you leave. Really perfect service. Thank you very much and maybe see you soon

ThailandWe really enjoyed the hospitality offered by this small hotel. Rakib and Thufazzal are the gems of Maafushi, they took great care of us and are always concerned about our comfort in the island. The breakfast was wonderful, despite few choices they are wholesome and filling. We were offered a private fishing trip during one of the sunset. It was incredibly fun and probably our greatest experience in Maafushi. We look forward to return to this beautiful place.

United KingdomThere wasn’t really anything to dislike, the property isn’t high end, but it is clean and tidy. Remember it’s a small island and you can’t get away from the call of morning prayer.
The staff were so kind and helpful and the Maldivian breakfast was amazing. Shower gel and shampoo, loads of towels, including a beach one.

SerbiaI recently stayed at Island Ambience, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment I arrived. They made me feel genuinely welcome and went out of their way to ensure my stay was comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delightful—everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. What truly impressed me was how the staff asked if there was anything they could do to make it even better, showing their commitment to guest satisfaction. The apartment itself was spotless and exceptionally well-maintained. It was clear that cleanliness was a top priority, as the apartment was cleaned frequently during my stay, which made everything feel fresh and inviting. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Island Ambience to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay

United StatesBathroom ventilation wasn't ideal (it's a tropical island which got humid some days). This was easy to forgive since everything else was so great.
The staff was fantastic - friendly, attentive and helpful. We were given free use of the hotel umbrellas to protect ourselves from the sun, as well as gear to go snorkeling. We tried the Maldivian breakfast which became our favorite meal of the day and was prepared by the sweetest chef. The hotel is also in the quiet part of the island, far from the hustle and bustle of the noisy touristy area, which we appreciated!

Great breakfast. We were also allowed to have breakfast early because we had a snorkeling trip. Also special requests for breakfast were possible. The room was clean, and we could always ask for cleaning and new towels if needed. New beach towels also available. Fresh water bottle every day. The best of the best in the room is the bed. Super comfortable! I habe never slept in such a comfortable bed before, not even in a resort. The location is away of the hustle and bustle of tourists but within walking distance of everything like shops, restaurants and bikini beach, just a few minute walk. Very nice hotel management and staff. Big thank you to the very nice guy who was responsible for breakfast. The hotel is very nice decorated and we always felt welcome.
