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.).

ItalyThe room was big (3 double beds), but small bathroom. There was dust in the corners and there is the carpet on the floor..
The owner is very nice, the property is beautiful, right next to the beach and to the Doctor’s House.

DenmarkWe loved to stay here! The host is so friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacy for our family of five. The breakfast was amazing! The beach is 5 minutes away and beautiful - a nice place to swim and snorkel.

GermanyThere were some insects in the bathroom but nothing too big. Could have been a little more clean. Everything else was really nice tho.
The owner was more than welcoming, making tea for us, giving us tips for dinner places, etc, and the room was big. It’s also located close to the beach, Doctors house for party and walkable to town. Was perfect for a night.

AustraliaPerhaps an exhaust fan in the bathroom could be installed for greater airflow in the bathroom. Other than that, it was perfect for us and our 1 month stay!
Anura (the owner) exceeded our expectations of a host and went over and beyond to accommodate to our requests. We stayed in the upstairs room it was light, clean and modern

Czech RepublicThe room especially bathroom could've been cleaner. The room smelt like fresh paint, and I was worried if I'll get some allergy or skin issues.
The host upgraded my room to family room (3 beds only for me), and was all the time super kind and helpful. Very close to the beach and the dive shop. Breakfast is the largest I have had in Sri Lanka (all breakfasts were big and this one outweighs them all).

IsraelI didn't like the fact that the host tried to charge me for the booking.com comission he needs to pay + a charge for a water bottle on arrival (?!) That's not even about the money but shows on the character.
The host is very friendly. The place is very quiet at night.

FinlandI honestly dont have anything negative to say
One of my best homestay experiences. Anura and his family (and dogs) are so warmhearted, fun, welcoming people. I felt like i was visiting a family rather than staying in a hotel. The rooms are clean and cozy and the house is beautiful and the location is excellent. I usually dont spend so much time at my homestay, but here i felt just so good. The food is amazing and has great variety. The host Anura helped me with so many things! I had an accident and i broke my collarbone and i would have been in trouble without his help. He took me to hospital and also helped me to organize my trip again. I would give 6/5 stars if it was possible. Thank you Anura, we will meet again 😊
