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.).

Wonderful staff, very helpful with local activities to do. We purchased crabs at a nearby village which the kitchen staff turned into a magnificent meal. (Put anything you can purchase in Colombo to shame)

SwedenWe ordered the English breakfast and it seemed like they didn’t quite know how to do that. Tea and coffee came last when we were already finished eating. But this is not a tourist area. I’m sure they are better at serving Sri Lankan breakfast.
The lady at the front desk was so sweet and helpful. We were upgraded to a suite which was very nice except our air conditioning was a bit weak. They fixed it so it was better.

NetherlandsWe recently had a pleasant stay at Agape Hotel in Mannar. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring the area, and we loved the convenience of the European electricity outlets in our room. The manager/ lady at the reception was exceptionally friendly and provided us with excellent recommendations for exploring Mannar. The hotel itself is a good option for travelers who want a comfortable stay without paying for any frills. We were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade upon our arrival, which was a nice touch. The hotel restaurant has a limited menu, but the food was tasty and satisfactory. Overall, Agape Hotel in Mannar is a good option for travelers looking for an affordable and comfortable stay. It offers a great location, helpful staff, and decent amenities.

Sri LankaThe bathroom space and equipment can be upgraded a bit. TV Channel's languages are automatically converted to theirs. so it's really good If you can edit it into the original Language (English) . English Subtitles were there. They have good channels.
All around very good location for sightseeing on Mannar Island. Front desk 2 ladies are nice and very supportive. Food is okay for the price they charged. The room was spacious for a big family. A/C worked well. Mrs Noeling upgraded our room to a Superior without any charge and she arranged our Dinner at the Terrace by request. Shared her sightseeing book and maps. Friendly Staff. Highly appreciated.

NetherlandsThe first night a big noisy family was served dinner in front of my room. They also were hanging around in the corridor speaking very loudly. The door to the room is made of plastic, not demping noise, like a wooden door would do.
As it was my second visit I was given a nice clean spacious room on the first floor. staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

We had such an perfekt stay in Hotel Agape. The Lady from the Hotel Management was so friendly and helpful, always making sure we have a good time and giving us many Tips for the Arena around Mannar. Overall the Service was extraordinary, the Staff was very friendly and extremely courteous. The Food at the Restaurant, which is directly on the hotel premises was very cheap and good!!! We had an outstanding time with Fazil, who is also working in the hotel. He organized us a private tour around mannar. He was our tourgide and brougt us to talaimannar with a bus, showed us some wonderful beaches and drove us werever we wanted to go. It is also to mention, that we got an free upgrate of our rooms, which were very comfortable btw. As we wanted to extend our stay for another night at the last minute, it was no problem at all for the hotel, so they are very flexible as well. We had a very very nice stay and would totally recommend!! Thanks for everything!!! 😇

CanadaThe staff were not very friendly, they were reiterating the hotel rules many times to me. They were surveillancing me during my stay and were very suspicious of me. I felt very uncomfortable during my stay at this hotel. The manager, Noeline, insisted that I bring a parcel to her family to one of the spots I am visiting during my checkout. I was a customer at the hotel on my vacation and it was very wrong that I was requested to run errands for the manager. I am very unhappy with the stay at this hotel.
