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.).

Hong KongThe view is outstanding. The hotel reception is perched on top of stairs with breathtaking view of the rock. The swimming pool also has an amazing view. Loved the vibe of the hotel, the room was very nice (nicer than i expected from the pictures!). The staff was very nice. We had buffet dinner and buffet breakfast and were very satisfied. The location is good, close enough to the rock to do it at sunrise then come back to the hotel to enjoy a nice breakfast.

United KingdomNeeds more sunloungers and the area under the pool was derelict - unattended bars, restaurants etc which was a shame. The paths could be much better lit as walking about at night can be a bit hairy at time. We had a good few cockroaches in our room we had to address….. Aircon could be a LOT stronger for the size of the room even when at its lowest setting. The bathroom has outside ventilation with a mosquito net, so becomes very very hot, not benefitting from the aircon and kind of negates the aircon working hard in the room. Variety at dinners would be good else it becomes very repetitive.
Unbelievable pool. It’s the selling point of the hotel for sure! Good location for safari, the rock, massage etc.

IndiaThe food - the buffet was mediocre. The specialty restaurant for srilankan food was a big disappointment. It was a set menu and the cook did a good job but the servers had no clue. Food was cold and most of the dishes were not even served. Just kept on the next table. No order of service, no explanations, just dumped. The location- it's a bit far from all the restaurants and shops, getting tuktuk is not easy. You have to use the hotel taxi.
The staff and the cleanliness was excellent. The spa was good too. Comfortable beds, good size of room. Comfortable stay. Nice property.

United KingdomIt would have been better to have had an introduction to all the facilities even by referring to the video. We found out about the local dining options too late as 24hrs notice was required. The food was extensive and varied but not of a high standard
Without doubt the pool, the setting and the staff were outstanding. The yoga and nature walk were nice additions (Lathmi was knowledgeable bird guide). Chatonay was incredibly attentive at all times. The rooms were comfortable, the person hygiene items delectable (I purchased some to take home).
