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.).

It is the sweetest man owning the place. He helped us multiple times to get to the train and bus station, helped us buy train tickets, showed us how to get to and from the sigiriya lion rock, made a good big breakfast and washed our clothes. Only have good things to say about the owner.

United KingdomThe location was great. 10 minute walk down the road and you are at the lake and temple of the Holy tooth, Buddha museum etc. 5 minutes walk around the lake and you are at the dance theatre. 10 minutes walk, the central market and bus stops. Townhouse rest is loving cared for by the most helpful, gentlest of men. Such a delight. He took me to the bus station, sat me on the bus and made sure the driver and conductor knew where to drop me off as it wasn't a straight forward journey. The breakfast are enormous. Beds, comfy. Shower hot. I would definitely use this place again.

PolandThe AC unit looks like it really needs to be cleaned. The rooms need some basic renovation to look more cozy.
The place is a bit shabby, but if you're looking for a short budget stay, it has everything you need: big bed, clean sheets, hot water. AC was also there, but we didn't use it, as the fan was enough for us. The owner is super helpful, he took us all the way to the railway station in the morning, to ensure we catch our train.

United StatesBUT: It is how the previous reviews have prepared me. The building was probably stately decades ago, but has lost its luster... It needs urgent refurbishment and I'm not talking about a little repainting: there are water stains everywhere on the ceiling and walls, mold in the bathroom, windows are reinforced with tape, the strip floor gets wet when the toilet is flushed, all the hangers and hooks for towels have been removed, ants in piles everywhere, in the hallway it dripped through the ceiling in various places during the rainy season. You can easily stay here for 3 nights for the price, but you should be prepared for what you encounter.
The owner is very nice and always tries to fulfill all wishes. I had breakfast brought to my room every day, my laundry was washed for free, he booked my train ticket with me and took me directly to the station at the end with a detailed written explanation. The location is great, the lake, tooth temple, markets etc are all within walking distance. I would say for the price you can't complain!

There was nothing Prapath wouldn't do to ensure his guests had a good experience in Kandy. He went to the railway station to get tickets for my next journey, walked with me to show me the way to the Temple of the Tooth Relic. The location is very convenient . Great value for money.

United KingdomThe location was really good and the host was honestly such a a gem! Nothing was too much trouble, so smily and helped us get to the station on the day we left. A honey. When we first arrived we were slightly skeptical was walked through a cafe and the communal area was closed off, but I guess that’s just being slightly out of season and our stay was really perfect. Not sure it would be great for a solo traveller but fab as a couple and a really good size room which is rare!
