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):
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.).

Czech RepublicThis accommodation and especially the staff took us by the heart. ❤️ We had a room on the top floor with a huge terrace where there were sun loungers and a table and chairs. The room was cleaned regularly and scented with watermelon essence so we felt great. We also had full board paid and I think that's a win, one doesn't have to worry about anything. The choice is great and they can cater for gluten and dairy free diets too. You get a choice of Coca-Cola or Sprite for lunch and dinner in addition to a pitcher of water, which I find a luxury. We would love to return as the island has a great atmosphere and we simply felt very comfortable there. And if we do return, it will be to Kinan Hotels. 🥰🙏🏻

United KingdomKayaks are free to use but unless having a paddle very early they use the two kayaks to get the boats so they are not available as a keen kayaker was disappointed. The other issue was did a trip to shark point but our guide didn't speak much English so didn't give any safety guidelines, I got a small nip on my hand from a shark and he didn't have a first aid kit .
The location the staff the food the entertainment it was all very good . Fantastic maldive holiday at a fraction of cost of private resorts plus you meet local people. fulidhoo is an amazing island .don't hesitate this place is wonderful.

SloveniaThe room equipment is a little run down. We were in the room on top and it looked a lot better on pictures. Still very comfortable. The food could use a little bit more variety - especially the breakfast.
Very kind staff, always happy to help. Great atmosphere. The dinner with sharks and stingrays is awesome! Grrat location, close to the bikini beach. Great for kids.

United KingdomNothing to dislike as long as you are realistic about the standard they are able to offer on a local island where literally everything has to come by boat
We decided to extend our stay by another night (wish it could have been more). Liked the convenience of just being able to go downstairs to the restaurant.

United KingdomDue to the open shower, my son slipped in the bathroom and hurt himself quite badly on the knee, elbow and face. Any sound travels very easily due to the construction of the property. I wish travellers would be more considerate of the locals and dress more modestly when not at the bikini beach as I was embarrassed for them at times (its not benidorm!!!)
Lovely place with restaurant downstairs. The staff all work incredibly hard and are so pleasant and nice to deal with. Speedboat was arranged for us but no-one was there to meet us at the airport so caused quite some anxiety thinking we were going to miss it. Faisal was available by phone and it was sorted out.

GreeceIf you are looking for heaven on earth you have found it! It is by far the most beautiful accommodation on the island. The first step is in the sand and for ten days we didn't even need our slippers. Everything was spotless. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The food was just wonderful. Dinner was served on the beach. Every day they create a beautiful setting by putting chairs, tables and lights in front of the sea and usually the food includes potatoes, rice, pasta and chicken or fish. All deliciously cooked like an expensive restaurant. But the most important thing is neither the rooms nor the food. The reason you should stay at this particular place is the people who work there. They're all excellent and special. The girl at the front desk, the manager, the cook and all the other guys hugged us from the first moment as if we were their family they hadn't seen in a long time. I don't know how we could ever thank them for giving us these moments. Guys, we loved you all! We really love you! We hope to see you again!

United KingdomWifi is very poor No tv in the room ( this was the deluxe room ) and it’s 2024 even 2 stars motels has tvs The food is very limited mostly fish we had full board included but we end up eating in other restaurants some times as the food very boring Now the negative things about the island I’ve been on other local islands and private resorts so I can tell the difference Not much vegetation on the island there are more buildings then palm trees, a lot of rubbish around and a lot of artificial staff that takes away the true feeling of a tropical Maldivian island A lot of construction going on that takes the tropical vibes away If it wasn’t for the sharks and stingrays I’ll say that I’ve regretted visiting this island, as it’s definitely not a cheap island to visit
The location it’s very good, we had the top floor room with an amazing balcony and view The room is big and spacious, the bed it’s very nice and big The staff especially the lady manager she is very very helpful with everything you need Positive things about the island itself: water is nice and clear, the bikini beach it’s very nice with soft white sand Good snorkeling if you adventure further on the left side of the island We had amazing experience swimming with a lot of nurse sharks We played with a lot of stingrays We found a local guy that given us private and cheaper deals then most of the guest houses can offer ( walk around and talk to the locals, they will look after you )

United KingdomThe double room was quite small for three of us, but if we were about to go back to Fulidhoo, I think we would still book again.
Absolutely fantastic location, a few minutes walk from the bikini beach. Delicious local food, with enough options for each of us. Big thank you to the staff. You were amazing! Nothing was too much trouble, always smiling and very welcoming. The manager came to greet us on arrival and to say goodbye when we were leaving at 6.00 in the morning. They also prepared cooked breakfast for us on that day. The rooms were cleaned every day, cleaning staff always smiling and helpful. They were renovating the rooms when we stayed, so it's going to be even better going forward. We had a fantastic holiday ♡
