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.).

AustraliaNo bath mat or pool towels in room.
Spacious and comfortable room with excellent beds and air-con. Big beautiful trees surrounded large pool in peaceful rural setting. Chef Akile prepared delicious food eaten in elevated restaurant to catch the breeze. Highlight was the fun billiard/ pool comp with lovely hosts and other guests on Saturday night, as well as the temples and stupas we visited.

Sri LankaThe property shows obvious signs of wear and tear, but renovations are going on. The sign boards to the property should be improved, and the google map navigation was off by a street.
it was really really nice, calm and quiet with a great pool. And I should specially mention the food! my god the food was lovely. Kudos to Chef Akila and his assistant Prasanna. Akila was exceptionally committed to make the food as fresh and delicious as possible. He went the extra mile to check on our itinerary and prepare the food ready at exactly when we arrive at the property to have a warm and hearty meal. Would definitely visit again! Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

NetherlandsThe place is isolated, which we really liked. To go to other restaurants than the one in the hotel you will have to take a tuktuk (which can be easily arranged), but the hotel restaurant has good food so we had most of our meals there.
We loved this hotel. It is in a beautiful and quiet location with a huge swimming pool to relax at. Our room was lovely with a big terrace. The restaurant has great food and the staff was really helpful and nice.

The hotel is situated in a secluded paradise. Wildlife abounds. Such a relaxed situation. The restaurant was open whenever you wanted something. And the food was excellent. There is a massive pool where the guests can spread out for privacy.

United KingdomIt was difficult to find because the name used by booking.com - Hotel 4 u at Saliya was in fact signed as Saliya Garden. Our taxi driver stopped many times to ask a local and they could not recognise the name.
Upil was an attentive and interesting host. He made sure everything was as we asked and made us his special Arak cocktail. Food excellent and too much but leftovers used to feed others😀 Location very peaceful and described by taxi driver as ‘very jungle-y ‘. Bed comfortable and room large. A great place to just chill. Would have liked to stay longer.

United KingdomNothing to dislike just WiFi is little slow so I suggest to buy a local SIM card with data and this will working perfectly.
Absolutely loved this place! I rented a single room and I was showed two at the check-in to choose from. Room has everything you need. AC is working properly but no need at the night time. I stayed 2 days only but didn’t had a single issue. Stunning swimming pool with little terrace near with beautiful illumination at night, restaurant with an amazing food and you can play the pool table after the dinner. Upali-the owner and his daughter Utara are just the most sweetest and helpful people on this planet. What ever you ask them for or need they will make sure you get it. Location is very good as chill and quiet out from the busy centre and that is what I was looking for. Surrounded by palms and trees with sound of the birds makes you feel like in the paradise. Please don’t expect this hotel to be a 4 star European’s standard but this is definitely in Sri Lanka a high standard accommodation. Highly recommended as it is a very good value for money asked.
