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.).

Sri LankaNot only was the tranquil environment that this place was in absolutely mesmerizing and infatuating, where the river and the cold climate soothing to listen and watch, but the insulation in the bathroom and how cozy it was with the hot water is something I commend about. It’s a reasonable, affordable price that didn’t deprive me of any facility and the comfortable, soft bed fulfilled my expectations. It was very functional! With a Wardrobe, free wifi and amenities , it was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet, as I was reminded of my happy place in this stay. Very satisfied ! 👍🏻

Czech RepublicFrom the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a sense of serenity that only nature's embrace can provide. The hotel's location, right by the lake, was a dream come true for those seeking solace and tranquility. Our room, overlooking the pristine waters, offered a picturesque view that soothed our souls and eased away the stresses of everyday life. The staff at Amanzi were attentive and gracious, always ready to cater to our every need with a warm smile. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction truly made our stay memorable.

NetherlandsIt’s a little far out from the center, and it’s a bit challenging for Tuktuk to get there, but not impossible!
Spacious, modern and comfortable room. Super comfortable bed! Green location with view on the river. Located at quiet road. We would stay again :)

Czech RepublicI recently stayed at a charming riverside retreat with serene beauty of nature, riverside view, birds chirping and such a tranquil atmosphere. This was a newly build hotel with huge rooms, newly build air conditioning, powerful Wifi which we had unlimited access and so comfortable big beds. The bathroom has good river view with warm water and everything was new and clean. I would say the host amazed us with this experience and worth the value of money we paid. Even transportation went so smoothly, it was cheap from the Kandy railway station, temple of the tooth relic and the city center. It will take you average 1.2 to 1.5 euros. Sri Lankan cuisine, hospitality and everything was worth the money making memory in Sri Lanka. Thank you so much

United KingdomWe loved the interior decoration of this bedroom and the architecture of the building. The room is massive, so we had loads of space. The balcony looks out onto the river, where you can see the flying fox at sunset. The owner recommended a trust worthy tuk tuk driver as well.

To be honest this was the best room i have ever stayed in my life :) it’s such an inspirational room with beautiful wooden high ceilings and the most amazing hosts in sri lanka. It’s a really sweet family who cooked for me and really took care of even the smallest details during my stay. There is not much going on in Kandy but just because of this room and these amazing family host, i would even consider coming back here. Also the city center i went everyday with tuktuk from pickme only for 500 rupees so it’s extremely convenient. Lastly the price i paid and what i got is really incredible. Thank you a lot!

United KingdomMy experience at this homestay was absolutely fantastic, surpassing all my expectations! The warm and welcoming atmosphere, along with the friendly hosts and their meticulous attention to detail, truly made my stay enjoyable. The host went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, leaving me genuinely impressed. The room itself was not just comfortable and spacious, but also impeccably clean and modern. The modern bathroom, added to the overall convenience. What sets this homestay apart is its convenient proximity to the heart of Kandy city, all while manages to keep that chill village vibe. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the Mahavali River from my bedroom was an absolute delight. The mix of a peaceful atmosphere and being right near city life made my stay truly special. I would highly recommend this charming home to anyone seeking a warm and welcoming retreat.

Sri LankaThe host welcomed us with the fewest words anyone could possibly use to make any sense. There were 5 of us and he refused to give us more than two small bottles of water because apparently "we had booked the place on the cheap" as If we had anything to do with pricing. Then later when we asked him a million times for water he simply ignored us. The place is thrown together carelessly; there's no proper sitting area and most of the first floor is occupied by the twin bed which is guess what, right next to the kitchen and the bathroom. The bathroom walls are made of flimsy material which did little to insulate. The water pressure was nonexistent and the heater stopped working on the second day. Unsurprisingly enough, he ignored us when we told him about the issues.
The swing on the front balcony and the view from the back side.
