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.).

Czech RepublicThe AC in our room did not worked, they gave us other room in the same building. But it was not used for long time, probably, it smelled stuffy. We could feel this terrible smell from our clothes many days after our stay. The guy on the reception ask to pay 250 USD in local currency cash?!? The reason was simple, he did not know, how to properly use card machine - the process of payment took almost 20 minutes. The whole stay was like to overnight in a nigtmarehouse... Sorry for this!
It should be nice hotel - sometimes in the past. We were almost alone in the big complex. You can never read that it is not easy to get to the hotel - it is necessary to use natural road. We did not receive the typo of room we should have. The service in the restaurant very slow in the evenning, although only we 4 and 2 other guest were in. We waited for the dinner more than hour! After breakfast monkeys came in the restaurant and played on the tables. Lovely, but not in 5star hotel...

I must say it exceeded my expectations. Right from the reception, the warm smile and welcoming demeanor of the staff set the tone for a delightful stay. The receptionist provided us with valuable tips on local activities, enhancing our overall experience. One highlight was the seamless arrangement of a safari tour by the hotel staff. Not only was the process efficient, but the price was reasonable, making it a convenient option for guests looking to explore the area. The attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout our stay. The rooms were not only spacious but also impeccably clean, reflecting a high standard of hygiene. This attention to cleanliness greatly contributed to a sense of comfort during our time at the hotel. In conclusion, I highly recommend Hotel Awsadduma to fellow travelers. The combination of warm hospitality, helpful recommendations, and well-maintained facilities make it a standout choice for a memorable stay.

Sri LankaExceptional experience at Aswadduma Resort! The resort, sprawling across 50 acres, is a wildlife haven. We were amazed to spot elephants, deer, peacocks, monkeys, and giant squirrels right within the resort’s expansive land along the banks of Kandalama Lake. The staff was incredibly accommodating, offering a customized dinner as we checked in late. A delightful surprise was the horse ride they arranged for us. Overall, our stay was a perfect blend of nature, excellent service, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend Aswadduma Resort for a unique and pleasant retreat.
