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.).

Our stay at the Holiday Cottage took place in complete peace and maximum satisfaction. Ali and Hasan are excellent hosts and take care of you in a relaxed way. Very good breakfast and dinner. It was my wife's birthday and Ali made her a dedication cake at my request (I really didn't expect such perfection). Although the hotel is small, you will find all the more peace in it. It is close to the beach and several restaurants. Thank you for a great stay!

NorwayWhat a wonderful hotel with 6 or 7 cosy « cottage « style with private terrace. The outdoor shower was definitely a plus, the beds were super comfortable and the air on well appreciated 😀Hassan made us a tasty breakfast every morning ( choice of continental, Maldivian or American ( pancakes ) )with freshly brewed coffee - and that, it is definitely a luxury in the Maldives 😀 The hotel is perfectly located, close to the beach, just a few steps away from diving center, fresh fruit juice café and a delicious local restaurant that grill fresh fish for lunch and dinner. The hotel also cook delicious fresh fish and if you go night fishing, they will grilled your catch on the BBQ!! The hotel provide brand new bicycles free of charge for the guests, free daily water and free tea and coffee 😀 the snorting is amazing, and the turtles super friendly 🐢I travelled with my 10 years old daughter and she absolutely agree with me: we loved the hotel, the staff and the island, we will be back!!

PolandYou must know that when you book a stay at Holiday Cottage, it's like spending your holiday with your favorite cousin. Ali - the host of the house treats you as his friend or family member. He helps with booking speedboat tickets, he will pick you up from the port, he was so kind that he did our laundry. Ali is extremely friendly, polite, nice, always helpful. The hotel has bicycles available for use. The hotel is a short walk to Bikini Beach and shops. Very well-kept area. Ali lit mosquito repellent incense sticks every evening. The rooms are very clean and fragrant. The TV didn't work but it didn't bother us. We had the full board option - breakfast was served, with several options to choose from. Lunch and dinner are also served, you can tell them your preferences or dietary restrictions, they will definitely take it into account. All meals were prepared by Hassan - it was delicious. We are very grateful and very pleased with our stay at Holiday Cottage. Thank you very much.

In addition to bicycles, the property offers free use of snorkelling equipment. The accommodation really tries hard to satisfy your every need.

SloveniaEverything was fine
Our host, Ali, went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. He was incredibly kind and always willing to help, providing us with valuable information about the area. One thing that truly stood out was Ali’s generosity. He lent us snorkels so we could explore the beautiful underwater world nearby. Additionally, he even offered bikes for rent, free of charge, allowing us to easily explore the island at our own pace. The food at the Holiday Cottage was simply delicious. We were treated to a variety of mouthwatering domestic dishes that satisfied our taste buds. What impressed me the most was that Ali personally inquired about our preferences and tailored the meals accordingly. This personalized touch made us feel truly valued and appreciated.

Everything you would read is true - great hospitality, delicious local food, cozy rooms, beautiful dining and outdoor spaces. Can't wait to be back, we would always choose Holiday Cottage and Thoddoo for our stay in the Maldives and definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to indulge in the Maldivian life - and you even have bikes on your disposal to explore it.

We've been staying in 3 places on Maldives and I would like to say that this one is the best. First of all I would like to mention the room itself. It is so cozy and beautiful. The true vibes of holidays on a beatiful island. Really liked the shower :) Food. Food is a little piece of art here. Guys were suprising us every evening. Furthemore you may choose your breakfast and this is really nice. The team. The team is great. They were doing there best to make us feel comfortable and they did it perfectly good. In addition I should tell that the location is great with a lot of caffes around and some shops. Very close to the beach and you may take a bike to have a ride around the island. It seems that we came here as a guests and we are leaving this island as a good friends. Looking forward to come back again.

United KingdomThe only thing that could be better was breakfast. There was not much to choose from and usually, when we came after 9 o'clock there were just a few bits to have. Not a major issue of course but could be better next time.
We were actually accommodated in Holiday Cottage 2 and it's a brand-new hotel. The room was big and clean and the bathroom was really nice. Everything was brand new. Ali and his brother are really lovely. They always helped us and give good recommendations. They made us feel at home and everyone else who worked there as well. The guest house is well located and it's only 10 minutes from a beautiful beach. We absolutely loved our stay and definitely recommend this place! So thank you so much for everything!
