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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

The staff makes the stay more memorable and feels like home. Hassan the guide and Abu the housekeeper are amazing!! They’ll help you with everything you need. Even the owner of cowry inn is awesome. We stayed at the rooftop of the inn and the view was breathtaking!! The breakfast was also good and tasty. We couldn’t ask for more. And fulidhoo… what can i say.. this island is all need when you are in maldives. Even tourist from other island and resort would come here to see stingrays and sharks. We dont even have to go anywhere because this island has everything!!

SloveniaWe had an absolutely lovely stay at the Cowry Inn. The house is located in close proximity to a beach with great shade as well as the bikini beach. Our room was spacious, clean and calm. The food was also great. The staff is super forthcomming and just lovely. We did a snorkling trip which was amazing too. Shamal Hassan, thank you for being our people there, for all your kindness, all the chats, all the little details and for making our stay personal. It really made us feel welcome and we appreciate it very much. :) Iztok, Nada & the kids :)

PortugalThe only bad thing is that, unlike other hotels on the island, they do not convert EUR to USD which made us loose around 30€ paying in cash. We recommend bringing dollars or paying with card (even with the 4% charge it is cheaper). We think and it was a little too pricey, that is why we give a 9/10
Great and spacious room with a wonderful balcony, right next to the bikini beach. Staff were incredible and always available, they make you feel like home. Room was cleaned everyday. We did a tour and it was great too!

Hungary- the balcony door/window was not soundproofed, all the noise from outside can be heard. The sound of the nearby mosque was very audible - Bed was very hard, I could not sleep on it - Since this is a small, family-run accommodation, the kitchen is quite modest. We rather left it out.
- The staff and owner was very kind, helpful. - Rooms and the building could be 4 stars, because of the quality of the materials. - Wi-fi was good

ChinaVery good stay experience. When you check in, you will be asked to read the house rules, which include options such as keeping quiet. Thanks to this, the entire hotel is very quiet at night. In addition, I would like to praise the employee Hasan. He is a very friendly local employee. He will take us carefully and responsibly when we go snorkeling. A very pure and kind-hearted person who gives the impression that he treats you like a family member and wants to show us the most beautiful scenery. We will definitely stay at this hotel next time and hope to see you again soon

GermanyThis is a family operated small hotel. Extremly friendly and helpful. The daughter takes care of all travel arrangements very reliably. Mom is an excelent cook. If you are up for traditional dishes, here you go! Dad showed us the best places for snorkeling and how to crack a coconut without looking like a stupid tourist. I hope you get a feeling about the hospitality we received. The hotel is very close to the beach for sun bathing (bikini beach) and the reef for snorkeling. And more important: It´s located on the east site - far away from all noisy and smelling infrastructure. The bed rooms are well sized and the bath rooms are fine. We enjoyed our two full weeks intensively, relaxed very well, and have never been bored. If you are up for diving, don´t spend the money. Just grab your snorkel and enjoy the reef. You will see all nice sea life at your convenience.

IndiaExcellent property. Very good service. The family managing this property is very cordial and friendly. They went out of their way to ensure that our stay is comfortable. Be it local excursions or the breakfast - everything was managed very professionally and didn't leave anything to be desired. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Fulidhoo, especially if you are visiting with family. Excellent experience!

GermanyThe Cowry Inn is a great hotel! As soon as you arrive you will be greeted warmly at the jetty and the suitcases will be taken to the hotel by the staff. The rooms are excellently equipped, clean, air-conditioned and very cozy. There is also a great fancy shared lounge with a couch, dining tables, chairs and a tea corner. It is located almost directly on the beach and within walking distance to everything else important. Communication with the staff is flawless and they do everything possible to make their guests happy. A guided tour of the island or feeding sharks and stingrays at the jetty? No problem! We also took part in a couple of snorkeling trips organized and hosted by the Cowry Inn. Every trip was outstanding and unforgettable. The crew was able to answer all of our questions about the sea creatures we saw. When snorkeling, great importance is attached to safety. The meals in the hotel were delicious! In summary I can say that this holiday was one of my best and the hotel and its staff made a significant contribution to this! Many thanks at this point! I will definitely stay at this hotel again on my next visit to Fulidhoo.
