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 in this place was perfect. The room was very clean and spacious, but the best part of our stay was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. It was really surprising. We missed one night because our flight was delayed and because of that we got free lunch and dinner on the second day of our stay. We were also invited for dinner on the first day. The food there was delicious. The staff helped us get to public ferry too, despite the fact that it was very very early. If we had had more time, we would have stayed there longer. For sure, if one day we are back to Maldives, we will visit this place again.

KazakhstanNothing special to mention! This is not our first time visiting the Maldives, but it’s our first time on Dhiffushi. So far, this island is our favorite among the seven local islands we’ve visited. Of course, we’re not comparing it to resorts, but sometimes local islands can be even more interesting than secluded resorts. We usually took speedboats, but this time, since we had extra time before our flight, we decided to try the public ferry—and it turned out to be a great experience. The trip to Malé took 2.5 hours, but it was quite comfortable and not tiring. If you're looking to save on transfer costs, this budget-friendly option is just $1.50 (22 MVR).
Everything was great! The staff member at the briefing during check-in was extremely outgoing and friendly, offering pleasant bonuses, which was a delightful surprise. The room was spacious and clean, and the shower was convenient. Breakfast featured both local dishes and classic European options. We enjoyed the local dishes we tried, especially Tuna Kottu. You can also enjoy a delicious and reasonably priced lunch and dinner here. The location is perfect—right near the two best northern bikini beaches on the island. In comparison, the southern beaches are not as clean or comfortable as the northern ones. Add a photo with the beach veiw!

United KingdomWe have been travelling for nearly two months and this is by far the best stay we have had since leaving the UK. The property, the location, the food and the staff were all fantastic, a real family feel to the place. On our first night, the hotel provided us with a complimentary dinner which was so lovely. They also hosted a delicious Maldivian buffet on another night, free of charge for all of the guests. The hotel also provide a free laundry service which was super handy! Whilst staying on the island we did a 3 day excursion booked through the hotel, which was very reasonably priced and great value for money. We had the best time and wanted to do it all over again! When we asked to extend our stay for an additional night, the owner very generously advised this would be free of charge, which we were so touched by. We also had to catch an early ferry on our departure from the island, meaning we would miss breakfast, one of the housekeepers very kindly packed us fruit and yogurts so that we did not go without - a thoughtful touch. We absolutely loved our stay and were sad to leave. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dhiffushi.
