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...).

SlovakiaThe smell from the bathroom in certain time of the day. But as I said, nothing that wouldn’t make me book again.
Amazing location, the hotel could use a little bit of a maintenance but considering the humidity, it’s quite normal. We loved it regardless of small inconveniences but the view from the room made up for it.

United StatesI loved the outdoor music and would have lived a few more group games. Volleyball option or games night. Maybe yoga or meditation on the beach.
It was ok. It may be better to do a buffet style breakfast. I don't know if that's possible.

FranceIf I really need to say something it will be the price of the food (a little bit too much sometimes). And lot of waste all around the island (but not around the hotel, they clean well 🙂)
Honestly, everything is perfect. The peace and quiet, the facilities, the view... It's paradise... We wake up with the sunrise, have breakfast, go snorkeling, relax on a deckchair in the shade, play games, watch the sunset and the stars! 🤩 They offer excursions, but we didn't even need them... we felt really good there.

Australiai got a little sea sick from the boat ride on the journey from Male, but I think it was just the weather as I was fine on the way back. Beds are a little hard (I agree with other reviews on that point).
wow! the name says it all - this was a tranquil nest ! it really felt that way while we were there. Such a treat to stay at a Maldives local island rather than all the trimmings of a resort. We really felt like we were the only ones there most of the time. The highlight was the boat trip - sunset fishing and afterwards the team cooking us fish on the BBQ. Acho and Ahmed were lovely to deal with and treated us very well. Thankyou so much and we will highly recommend this experience.

United KingdomMy bed was hard and lumpy. They did provide me with an extra comforter and I slept on the quilt but I would suggest they replace the mattress. Breakfast was the same every day (apart from the fresh fruit). Could do with a bit of variation. If you pay by card there is a 4% fee on top. Food is served between given times which is plenty long enough but between end of lunch and evening meal times there isn't any service.
The location is right on the beach. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from the same spot. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant food was amazing. The atmosphere is super chilled. There are so many places to chill with loungers, swings, cuddle sofas, tables and chairs. You can pick seating with or without cushions in the shade or the sun. Free drinking water. Free breakfast, including a packed breakfast to go on my last day. Collected and dropped off at the ferry. Laundry service. A/C Lovely clean beach.

Amazing Experience at Tranquil Nest Vaavu! Our stay at Tranquil Nest Vaavu was absolutely perfect! The most important thing to mention is that the hotel looks exactly like in the pictures, which is a rare find. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, and the entire staff made us feel at home. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had the best experience possible. A special shoutout to Acho, the manager, who is exceptionally kind and helpful. He took us on an unforgettable shark excursion, which was truly one of the highlights of our trip. His passion and care for guests make a huge difference! The food at Tranquil Nest Vaavu is delicious, with a great variety of options. My personal favorite was the chickpea curry, which is a must-try! Every meal was fresh and flavorful, adding to the overall amazing experience. Beyond that, the scenery is breathtaking, with stunning ocean views that make every moment feel like paradise. If you're looking for a place to relax, enjoy nature, and be treated like family, this is it! 100% recommended—worth every moment

MaldivesThe bathroom wasn't super great. There were a lot of insects (small flies?) inside, and the showers weren't super great. And the sliding bathroom door doesn't properly seal so the bathroom odour seeps in. Please note that these were minor inconveniences without which our stay would've been perfect - we can't wait to back!
The architectural design was very nice. The rooms were perfectly sized too. Also really liked the industrial themed interior. It's located pretty much on the beach which is amazing. They provide free snorkelling gear (in good condition). I also like the long dinner table which is a great way to interact with and befriend other guests.

United StatesWe were fortunate enough to experience sheer paradise during our stay at the Tranquil Nest in the Maldives, a booking we made through Booking.com. From the outset, the owner's warm hospitality made us feel like cherished guests in this idyllic retreat. The Tranquil Nest exceeded all expectations, offering a spacious haven surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Maldives. The interior design and thoughtful touches throughout the nest added to the overall charm, creating an atmosphere of serenity and relaxation. One of the standout features was the seamless internet connectivity, a surprising luxury in such a remote location. This allowed us to stay connected while immersed in the tranquility of our surroundings, striking a perfect balance between modern convenience and the pristine natural beauty of the Maldives. The tranquility of the location itself was unparalleled. Nestled in a peaceful corner of the Maldives, we were able to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The proximity to the beach and the mesmerizing views of the crystal-clear waters made every moment a postcard-worthy memory. Security and privacy were paramount at Tranquil Nest, offering a sense of exclusivity that heightened our overall experience. All the while, essential amenities were readily available, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free retreat. In summary, our stay at Tranquil Nest was a dreamlike experience. The combination of a gracious owner, a spacious and beautifully designed nest, reliable internet connectivity, and an unrivaled tranquil setting in the Maldives created an unforgettable escape. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of luxury, tranquility, and natural beauty. We left with hearts full of gratitude and unforgettable memories, eager to return to this Maldivian paradise.

However they also make sure to give you space and privacy if needed. Everything we had to eat was straight up delicious, you can’t make a bad choice. The island is as calm and local as it can be. Make sure to checkout the local cafe and markets, the people are really nice and welcoming.

Depending on the day you have either an American or a Maldivian breakfast. Not a huge fan of the American breakfast because as French we like the real food. The Maldivian breakfast is incredibly good!! Room was clean, exactly as like the photos. The staff is super smiling and helpful. Acho who is the manager became a friend, really nice guy, swimming with the sharks with him is really funny. A lot of great activities are proposed by the hotel (snorkeling, sharks, fishing at sunset etc...). The little beach on the side is transparent, clean and peaceful. Drinking coconut all day long became addictive ;) Family ambiance at night. Perfect place if you want to come with your half for a special occasion. We even had the chance to get some surprises by Acho and his team! One thing super important, this hotel belongs to a Maldivian family and staff are for most of them people from this tiny island who are employed by this hotel, so do not hesitate one second, book your stay now!

Egypt- the Bed mattress is hard but the manager promised for new soft mattresses coming soon by the end of the year. - the breakfast options was limited to 2 types only and if you stay for many days it’s repetitive and i hope it will have more options in the near future.
-The location of the island is amazing, you have all the marine wildlife all around, you can just snorkel in the reef area and you will see everything. -The staff are very nice, approachable and they will do everything they can to accommodate your requests. - The Manager Acho is flexible with the guest’s requests and he is working on all the improvement points to make the experience more pleasant. - they provided all the snorkeling gears and kayaking for free. - The chef’s food is very tasty. - WiFi signal is so strong and fast. - they have electric plugs all over the place if you want to work remotely in a quiet,peaceful and beautiful beachfront vibes ,it’s the perfect spot.
