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...).

AustraliaGreat location! Walked out of my bedroom to the view of a private beach, next door is bikini beach and you are surrounded by other expensive resorts across the water. Farid was excellent - attentive, professional and his food was delicious. Always available if I had any questions. I left early for the public ferry and Farid even packed me breakfast to go without me asking. I arrived slightly under the weather, I left feeling refreshed and well. The owner Hamdhaan was responsive and was available to message on WhatsApp. Definitely recommend this place if you want to relax.

United KingdomAbsolutely superb hotel. Perfect location with a private garden leading onto a private bikini/tourist beach. House reef for snorkeling just a short walk away. Food was amazing and plenty of alternatives a quick stroll away, great views. It's a very boutique feel with only 5 I think rooms. Farid made us feel so welcomed, he went to every effort to make us feel at home and had lots of great tips for enjoying Guraidhoo to the fullest. The breakfasts he whipped up were our favourite of our holiday island hopping and did an amazing fresh grilled fish dinner for us. Would 100% stay here again

CroatiaThey will charge you more than the price on booking if you pay with card. The bathroom was all rusted, water pressure was bad, the fridge was really dirty and smelled bad, the towels and blankets had a lot of stains, they didn't do daily cleaning of room if you don't ask. There is only one stuff employee and he washes your toilet and after makes your food which is definitely not acceptable for a hotel, and it is kind of disgusting since the the facilities are not that clean.
Hotel with best location on the island, exit from room to private beach, place to relax in open, hospitality of staff, local breakfast was good, watermelon juice was awesome detail.

RussiaThe best location in Guraidhoo island — only one hotel which has its own beach, so you just do couple steps and have your piece of the beach. Public bikini beach is also very close, as well as a sandbank for your pictures. The owner Hamdaan helps with all questions and always in touch via what’s up Hotel has 5 rooms ;) and if you like cats you will be happy to know that Guraidhoo is the island of cats (never seen so many cats in Maldivian local islands)

IndiaNothing much, come and try
The location is best it can get on a local Island of Maldives! It has its own cozy beach attached to public bikini beach. My one year old had her first swim in the ocean, thanks to Hamdhaan! He has kept sand toys and the floats free of cost, which each hotel will charge you extravagantly. Says something about the guys. The cleanliness was impeccable. It’s all white! The food was delicious as fairly reasonable price, the passion fruit juice was irresistible! Its a must try! Last but not the least, the guys! Ranga the new guy when we came was hard working and always on time. The owner Hamdhaan will be part of your family, he makes sure you are at home. He makes sure that you have everything be it in Island or even on Male! Though we didn't went for excursions as we were too tired to try them, they were fairly reasonable and other guests enjoyed it. The cherry on top was candle light dinner arranged on the beach, the memory of which will always remain in our memory.

BelarusNothing to mention. Just points to improve: - Plant more palms and trees. - Refresh beach umbrellas. - If it's possible try to start growing and planting the corals because no home reef with easy access. - Wardrobe can be better.
Most probably one of the best places to stay in Guraidhoo, the location is excellent. The hotel has its own cozy private territory and bikini beach with the best sand, long sandbank and views on the island, you just go out from the room, 30 sec and you are already near your own sun lounger with an umbrella (also it's just 5 mins walk to the public bikini beach if needed). Also, you can enjoy the views more closely to the room in the shadow of palms and trees during the hot hours in the middle of the day. They have a shared outdoor shower to wash off the salt after swimming in the ocean. Very good swimming experience, we saw baby reef sharks, stingrays, etc. Very warm welcoming with fresh passion fruit juice and hotel guide from the hotel owner and staff. The room itself is good, clean and comfortable. Good conditioning is presented, as well as hot and cold water in the bathroom. Room cleaning is also good. Bed linen and towels are fresh, beach towels are also presented. Good and tasty breakfast, and they have also options for dinner and lunch if needed for a very reasonable price. Wi-Fi is good, also right now they have installed the outdoor connection point, so you can do basic stuff even from the beach. The staff is very friendly and responsive, any request will be fulfilled. They also take into account your personal preferences regarding the food (allergens, spicy/not spicy, etc.). Also, they have excursions and can help you to arrange a speedboat from the island to Male and vice versa. Overall experience is wonderful, hope to come back again!

SwitzerlandWe've spent 4 nights in this beautiful Guesthouse. Everything was perfect, from the greeting at the ferry by Shiva, an introduction to the place by the owner to the location and facilities that couldn't be better. The private beach is fabulous, the bikini beach is very close and the service from Shiva couldn't be any better. Don't think twice, this is the place you want to stay.

SpainOur stay was truly unforgettable. The staff and the owner, Hamdhaan, were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The service was excellent, and the tours with Farid were an absolute highlight, engaging and well-organized. The private beach, just steps away from the accommodation, provided a serene and beautiful setting. The rooms were very clean, and the food and drinks were nothing short of exceptional. It felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return.

There’s sandbanks right opposite where you can have breakfast. We were served fresh juice with every meal.

AustraliaNothing of substance but as it is a brand new facility a few finishing touches.
It’s a fantastic beachfront property with stunning views. The location is unbeatable, step out of your room onto the beach. Shiva is polite and unassuming and looked after the day to day running and was a great chef. Farid is exceptionally friendly and goes above and beyond arranging activities ensuring a memorable stay. Hamdhaam is the owner, friendly, welcoming and available whenever required. They went out of their way to arrange romantic breakfast and evening meals on the beach together with night lights. They offer a full board option making meal choices convenient and stress free. We loved it so much we have extended our stay. We thank them for the extra effort to welcome us to their property. Book with confidence. We’ve run a guest house in Australia for the past 20 plus years. It’s great value for money at Ithaa Seaview. A tip: we were wary as it only had a few reviews but everything is explained when you turn up and find out it’s newly opened. We are also 50m from the well sheltered Bikini beach.
