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.).

CanadaThe owner and staff are extremely helpful. The suites have been newly renovated - they are comfortable (shower has hot water and great water pressure, A/C and fan works well, the foam mattress is on the softer side) and cleaned daily. Filtered water is also provided for free and having a breakfast buffet with coffee and tea was also a huge bonus. We were welcomed with a mocktail mojito and dinner, and you can also order lunch and dinner on site as well. Although there aren't refrigerators in the room when we were there, you can store drinks or other items in the ones on site. The internet works fairly well for a small island, although it wouldn't be reliable for video calls. There is also a free laundry service! The owner has a great connection for snorkelling and we'd really recommend doing any tours through them. The tour guide even provided us with really high quality video from our snorkelling tour for free! He'll also help with organizing transportation to and from Dhiffushi for a more reasonable cost than if you book through any online sites. It's really an incredible value and our stay has made us want to return to Dhiffushi!

Nice and tranquil place to stay. Right after you arrive to the island you are warmly welcomed to the hotel. They serve really delicious food, including fish and rice which I appreciate to eat every day. Great tours and surrounding areas. I would like to stay longer next time.

GeorgiaThis is just an excellent place!!! Starting from the performance of the staff (all without exception), ending with the cleanliness of the rooms and delicious food. We stayed at the villa for two weeks and not even the slightest problems arose during this entire period. The owner of the villa will answer any questions you may have or simply become an excellent interlocutor. The food is tastier than in the restaurants we have visited on the island, so I advise you to take at least half-board, as we did. The rooms are cleaned daily! Always fresh towels and bed linen. We were very pleased to stay at this particular villa. Huge thanks for our vacation.

United KingdomThe array of restaurants and / or takeaway foods is limited and a bit more expensive than other islands. The local shops don't fully understand the industry and have get rich fast prices.
The local host is absolutely fantastic in giving you all the information you desire and all the best local deals, whether you want to swim with the turtles or chase the dolphins. Great communication is paramount on any foreign country, and this is totally covered by the host! Would definitely recommend it to feel the local community and appreciate this small island where things are changing every year. It definitely has been one, if not my best, travel. It's worth every penny, and it's cheaper than most places.... PS... I almost forgot. The beach is 20 seconds away... basically, wake up, get your sorts and beach towel, and 20 seconds later, you're bathing in heaven! Amazing.

SwedenOne of the most priceworthy places I have ever stayed at! The room was very clean and fresh (newly renovated). It is very close to the beach. The owner is a local of Dhiffushi and knows the place in and out. He helps out with everything and books excursions for way cheaper than the larger hotels. While the facilities was well above expectations (really really good) for the price I paid, the service is what stood out the most.

The host has a recipe for success in business. He is hands on. Hospitality at its best. The food was tasty and there was a lot to choose from the menu. We even asked for a Maldivian dinner experience, which was done and to top it up, the host joined us and took is through every dish which was prepared. We enjoyed not only the special dinner but all meals for everyday that we were there. We explored dishes we never had before and it was fun.
