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.).

Verified reviewThe rooms are quite spatious and clean. The staff was super friendly and helpful and they were really supportive when I had to prolong my stay. The guesthouse lies in the middle of the island and everything can be reached by walking.

Verified reviewSimple breakfast. I should have gotten a room with a bigger window. Everything was just as advertised. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I'd recommend Isla Dhiffushi for travellers on a budget and who like simple places. The host is also very accommodating, our WiFi signals were weak when we first arrived and the host connected a router in our room upon request.
I think more variety in breakfast would be nice. The toilet seat in the bathroom was loose/broken. The bed made a lot of noise. The walls had a cement look, so it gave the rooms a slightly unclean feel. I think some paint would elevate the rooms and make them look neat.

Verified reviewThe staff and their hospitality. They’re highly accommodating (they welcomed us with a complimentary dinner on our first night). The Maldivian breakfast was great, and we even got one to go when we had to leave early for the ferry on our last day. The room was comfortable, and the hotel is in a good location – everything is nearby. They also have a good selection of excursions. We went swimming with mantas and snorkeled with fish and turtles, and we felt like the staff really wanted us to have the best experience.
The WiFi could definitely use an upgrade and the bathroom quickly turned damp and wet.

Verified reviewVery friendly people and a very nice location well equipped.
The only thing we regret is that we left the last day without being served breakfast even though we confirmed the night before that we can have an early breakfast but no one showed up.

Verified reviewThe location is great, right in the middle of the island, and both ends are not very far. I suggest taking the room with the Balcony as its got great light coming in and a place to dry your wet clothes easily! The whole guesthouse had a really nice energy too it, felt like a homely place with an inviting energy. Breakfast is good and the food for lunch was great!
no divider for the shower, so the whole bathroom gets wet. To clean the room, they didn't really make up the bed again but that is a small thing.

Breakfast are monotonous and super small portions. On the other hand, fish barbecue which we had for dinner was delicious

Verified reviewHotel located in the center of the island. Very high standard, delicious meals and extremely kind and helpful staff. Kudos to Hahsaan, who supported us with everything and was always available.
Due to close distance to the mosque, it was a bit noisy during prayer times. Managable though. Other than that, the rest was absolutely fabulous.

Verified reviewDecent food, they gave one big bottle of drinking water for each meal. Location is great, center-ish of the tiny island, near to jetty but not next to the beach, which is fine to us. They arranged speedboat from/to airport. Communication is easy via Whatsapp. Hassan and Ricci were great in arranging our excursions, tiptop service!
