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.).

SwitzerlandIf you are looking for a guest house to dive into authentic Sri Lanka, this place might not be right for you. It feels quite European.
Stayed here for 2 nights after arriving early in the morning in Sri Lanka and we liked our stay very much as a relaxed start of our trip through the country. The room, the house and the garden with pool are spotless clean, beautiful and just high quality. The neighborhood is quiet, the beach just 5 min away, also restaurants near by. The owners, Brenda and Ron, who moved from England to Sri Lanka many years ago, are super nice and welcomed us warmly. Breakfast is good, also try the Sri Lankan traditional option!

FinlandMaybe there could be more than two sun beds at the pool. Also a mosquito net might be nice. And a safety box is something that I personally missed.
Have absolutely nothing negative to say about this property. Everything exceeded my hopes. I can heartily recommend this place to anyone visting Negombo. Brenda and Rob are absolutely amazing and kind people who made me feel very welcome. Really got my few days of rest and relaxing here, for the end of my Sri Lanka trip. The hosts also helped on arranging the airport transfer late night etc. Location is good, nice reastaurants close as well as the beach. Property itself was as presented in booking.com pictures and description. Breakfest was very good having the option of english breakfest or Sri Lankan breakfest. Bed was comfy and it was silent during night time. The place is very nicely decorated and garden is beautiful.

We enjoyed it so much that we decided to book accommodation here again on our way back. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning was great, and we appreciated being able to purchase water, drinks, and snacks. The pool was a refreshing oasis that rejuvenated us. The owners are fantastic hosts, and we highly recommend this place.
