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.).

NepalSlightly away from the market area. Breakfast is simple. The restaurant staffs need training to serve the customers properly.
Hotel is full of trees and greeneries. It has a clean sweeming pool.A very quiet ambience.The hotel owner was very helpful. Ideal for retirees.

United KingdomSome issues with our room on arrival. However, these were quickly rectified when brought to the manager's attention. The lounge/kitchen area of our room could really benefit from air conditioning. It was too hot to use this part of our suite.
The staff, the pool, the gardens, the food. The friendly atmosphere amongst other guests. The owner's response to problems. Many guests return frequently.

United KingdomWe didn't have hot water, and the bathroom needs improvement. The kitchen area needs proper cleaning. You need to travel at least 2 km to the nearest beach . There is no air conditioning in the living room , so it was so hot during the day. The owner or the staff didn't show much interest in resolving our issues. It seems like tourists from Germany have a special arrangement with the owner, and they are probably offered the better rooms. This is the worst hotel I ever stayed .
Staff were very friendly and helpful

GermanyBentota is not the best area to stay for younger people. The hotel is like an elderly residence. Very dark and very expensive. We paid 50€ for a double room. Bathroom was full of mosquitos.

GermanyFirstly i would say, the staff was really helpful,cheerful and friendly, also Garden was really clean and well maintained. My Room was really clean and comfortable. I have seen a bad review on booking.com about rooms in bougainvilla Hotel, because of that I had little bit afraid to stay there. But when I was there ,I realised that comment was wrong. Because Room was really nicely arranged and no any bad smell comes. They used fresh flowers to decorate my room too. Also ,specially I need to say about meals in bougainvilla. It was really delicious and well cleaned. I really need to stay there once again.

ItalyAfter reading the other reviews I expected a far better hotel, but in fact it’s just passable. There was a weird smell in the room, no shower soap, smelly towels. Although they brought the modem in my room, the Wi-Fi was not working at all. The food wasn’t good. When I arrived from a walk at 7 pm it was all dark around the restaurant and swimming pool, the reception was empty, it was a little creepy.
The very helpful and kind staff. Firstly they showed me a very dark and smelly room, but when I asked if it was possible to have a more airy and light room, they changed it. They greeted me with a fresh juice. The stuff was always ready to help and fulfil my requests - they even checked the timetable for a train to the north

Where to start... everything was perfect at Villa Bougain. First, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Then, the villa is beautiful, with a wonderful and well maintened garden and a nice and clean swiming pool. The room was big, really nice and clean, with a good A/C. The food was so tasty, and there is a lot to eat. You have to have at least dinner and breakfast if you stay here, you won't regret it. The value for money is unbeatable ! We felt like in a palace for a really reasonnable price. It was the perfect place to end our Sri Lanka bicycle trip ! Thank you for all, we will come back !
