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.).

ItalyEverything was fine:)
My stay at Tropical Stay Thulusdhoo was nothing short of incredible. It’s more than just a hotel — it felt like a home away from home, nestled in the heart of a peaceful local island. 🛏️ Accommodation & Facilities: The room and washroom were exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The hotel provided a fully functional kitchen, which was a huge plus — we often cooked our own meals and enjoyed them at our own pace. Even more convenient was the washing machine, which kept our clothes fresh throughout the trip. 🌊 Location & Convenience: The beach was just a short walk away — perfect for daily swims or quiet sunset moments. A restaurant was located right nearby, so we never had to walk far for a delicious meal. 👨🍳 Unforgettable Hospitality – Special Thanks to Habib Bhai: What made this stay truly memorable was the staff — especially Habib, whom I fondly called Habib Bhai. He was more than a hotel staff member — he became a friend. He took us fishing, invited all the guests for a big BBQ party (for free!), and handled everything himself with such genuine care. He also helped us book our water sports, and personally guided us around the island to make sure we saw everything. 👋 Owner’s Warm Welcome: The owner, Muiss, was also a very nice and down-to-earth person. He personally came to pick us up from the speedboat terminal, and even let us go snorkelling using his own gear — including masks and all the necessary equipment. That level of personal attention is rare and deeply appreciated. 💬 Overall: If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic Maldivian experience with warm local hospitality, clean and comfortable accommodation, and everything you need within walking distance, I highly recommend Tropical Stay Thulusdhoo. It’s the kind of place that stays with you — not just for the beaches, but for the people you meet.

The room was big and clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower is good. It was also nice having a kitchen and washing machine available. The location is perfect for nearby restaurants and convenience stores. Habib was really attentive and always on hand to help via WhatsApp with any questions we had, he arranged all the tours for us and cleaned our room every couple of days. We couldn't be happier with his service. Only thing I'd suggest is changing a couple of the lights as they'd sometimes flicker.

Thank you to Habib for making our stay comfortable and organising the Shark & Stingray snorkel trip. We talked to a few companies and the one organised by Habib was the most competitive. Bonus is that they also have a very cute kitten!

FranceWe went to Tropical stay as a couple to enjoy our honeymoon, and it was really an enjoyable experience. Habib, our host, greeted us from the moment we arrived with friendliness. He always made sure we were comfortable during our stay and shared with us what to visit and valuable tips. Moreover, he cooked us a delicious enjoyable dinner one night. From beginning to end, we really recommend this place highly enough and would like to stay here again whenever we are back!

Kitchen to cook in and make breakie, coffee etc. hot water and new bathrooms. AC which is much needed :). Muiss and his staff are just amazing!

Tropical Stay is a fantastic place to call home on Thulusdhoo. I stayed for over two weeks, and it was a wonderful experience. I missed the first speed boat from Male airport to Thulusdhoo, and Muiss (the owner) drove to the airport from Male to help get me on an expedited speed boat to the island. This was beyond my expectations. While we waited, he even treated me to a coffee and suggested activities to do for my stay. My room was perfect upon arrival. It was spacious, very clean, and the AC worked extremely well. The WIFI was the best I experienced so far on my travels. Habib is the facilities operator and is an incredible host. He took me to see shark and stingrays at night on the peer, cooked amazing fish dinners, and helped me go to the clinic for dizziness from ear an infection. He can also set up tours, transportation, or find items you may be looking for on the island. His hospitality was simply amazing! Tropical Stay has a great kitchen, covered lounge area, and is right down the street from a great restaurant.

Very supportive, friendly staff. Muizz was always there, kind and helpful. The bed was super-comfortable, and hot water was always available. There were snorkeling masks to use for free, bicyckle could be borrowed, tea and coffee , bottlef water unlimited.
