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.).

NOTE THAT THE PICTURES ARE NOT UP TO DATE IN THE PROFILE OF THE HOTEL. Based on our January 2024 visit. The hotel has changed from the pictures available on Booking.com, it has been "upgraded". The inside yard still lies on sand but the covered part is bigger and now has a concrete floor, making the place a bit less beachy but way more convenient. A giant screen tv and a ping-pong table have been added and a couple of sofas to sit. The management very conveniently burns mosquito coils all day long to counter these numerous mosquitoes that are very present in Thoddoo. Gone are the hammocks that used to hang in the court. We were sad about that but numerous hammocks are available at the Sunrise beach anyways. Some bicycles (some of them not in very good shape) and snorkeling kits are available for free, making is very practical to get to either the Sunrise beach (closer) or Sunset beach (farther and much bigger perfect but less breezy) that is a good 10-15 minutes away cycling. Useful because a good amount of turtles are visible in the close reefs at Sunset beach and a good variety of fishes and sometimes small sharks can be seen at the Sunrise beach. The room was super comfortable with a tv (Netflix and Youtube), hot water, good AC and Wifi. Personal small terrace with table and chairs were also practical but watch for mosquitoes ! Perfect bedding and the room is cleaned every day. The manager Nadeem and his employee Shimoun were extremely courteous and very nice. Kudos to both of them ! We highly recommend this place !

PolandI was a bit surprised by the change of my hotel, the owner did not warn me about the change prior to my arrival.
I was in Rihiveli Residence instead of Resten Inn (due to Resten Inn being fully booked when I arrived). The hotel is brand new, breakfasts are amazing, every day a different and huge breakfast. My room had an enormous bed, hairdryer, towels, good wifi, a balcony, fresh water every day. They also provide free bikes for their guests.

Hotel was well equipped (Sorenzo Hotel). There was everything what we needed for 3 night (not Wifi). We reserved “Resten inn” but host sent us to “Sorenzo Hotel”. Staff and “Sorenzo hotel” manager Azzam are super friendly. Unfortunately Wifi was very poor, but it wasn’t big problem for us. Thank you again! Thoddoo I love you 🏝️❣️.

PolandThe standard rooms could be lift and refreshed. A part of bicycles requires some repair.
We took breakfast and dinners. The food was local and what is most important very tasty. A lot of fruits, tuna etc.... After each eating we were completely full. The guest house is located in quite neighbourhood near beach bikini beach (200-300m). The owner was extremely nice, open and very communicative. The whole transfer from Male to island was take care by host. He even pickup us from harbour, so we didn't need to carry our bags.

Italywe had difficulties in arranging excursions, maybe a bit more support from the host would be appreciated. Not all bikes are fully working, so you need to pick the "right" bike before you leave :)
We had a great stay at Resten Inn. Nadheem is a very nice host and he has been caring to arrange our arriva and departure. The structure provides free bikes to move around the island, and they are very useful since the guesthouse is walking distance from the north bikini beach, but at the opposite side of the island for the south bikini beach. Breakfast is OK, but you will have limited options. However, well in line with the price...and the value for may is superb!bThe room was cleaned every day, which is nice since coming and going from the beach it becomes dirty quickly.

RussiaThe hotel has a beautiful cozy courtyard, spacious rooms, a large bed in the room, a good bathroom, a cozy patio. There are sockets of different standards in the room. They give beach towels. The rooms are cleaned every day. Bicycles with a basket are provided free of charge at the hotel. It is convenient to go to the beach. There are 2 beaches near the hotel. On the first beach there is a lot of greenery, sun beds and hammocks, a beautiful view of the sunrise. There is a beautiful sunset on the second beach, 3-5 minutes by bicycle. Near the hotel is the main street with supermarkets, a souvenir shop. The owner of the hotel is very hospitable, takes care of every guest. The hotel is very cozy. The photos correspond to reality. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
