Data and content methodology
Madai Live helps travelers compare Maldives resorts and local islands. This page explains how to interpret its information; it is not a resort quotation or certification.
This explanation updated
Are these bookable prices?
No. Prices are reference values for comparison, not live availability or final quotes. Confirm dates, guests, room type, meal plan, taxes and transfers with the resort or consultant.
How is the two-adult, four-night budget calculated?
The filter uses the per-adult nightly base price × 2 adults × 4 nights, or base price × 8. This does not guarantee inclusion of taxes, transfers, child supplements or holiday surcharges. Check seasonal package figures separately.
Are USD displays based on live exchange rates?
No. The English interface currently converts reference CNY values using 7.2 CNY per USD for display. This is not a live payment or settlement rate.
What do categories and scores mean?
The site’s 4–7 star labels are display categories, not a claim of a uniform official certification. Reef, beach and family scores assist comparison; they are not guest vote counts or substitutes for platform ratings. Scores from different platforms should not be added together.
Is every data point verified in real time?
No. Resort pages use the site’s collected records; some include official-site links or platform information. Not every field currently has a public source and verification timestamp. Reconfirm undated or unsourced information before booking. Traditional Chinese may be converted from Simplified Chinese; translation is not fresh verification.
How can I report an error?
Use the contact option on the resort page and include its URL, the field, the correction and a verifiable source. Guide publication and update dates are displayed separately; an update date does not mean all resort information was reverified that day.
Official checks before travel
