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.).

AustraliaIt was a bit far from restaurants and activities. They said they have cars/tuks available to take you but there was none. You felt like you were the only ones at the hotel. The restaurant wasn’t open at night so we had to find alternative ways to get into town to eat. Staff hardly understood English so was hard to communicate
We liked how quite the property was and the pool view.

NorwayWe had a great time at the Hanthana House! The staff was really friendly and helpful. I’m celiac, but there where no problem fixing gluten-free food for breakfast and dinner. They made some delicious homemade curry’s for us in the evening, and the breakfast was also great. The room had a nice view overlooking the forest. The owner, Pati, took us for a sunset hike in the neighborhood, with an amazing view. Would recommend to stay here!

DenmarkThere were electrical issues and the backup generator didn't work properly. Stock in the toilet at night with the power out and no torch in hand☹️ We mentioned this problem several times before we were offered a new room.
The staff were very helpful, but had some problems with the english language..This led to several misunderstandings.

GermanyLevel of cleaniness We have had several cockroaches in the room, there was undefinable dirt in the shower corners of the bathrooms. Due to the numerous pigeons on the roof daily cleaning of the balcony would be a must. No room service although we stayed three nights. We had to ask for new towels- they brought new ones, these however were not clean. There were many things where it became obvious that the hotel is poorly maintained: holes for power outlets are not properly closed, lights on the staircases were broken, aircon was dripping, mattress was already worn out ... WiFi in the room was not working and very poor in the restaurant area. Water in the shower was cold, especially in the morning.
The view from the balcony and restaurant was excellent. In principle this hotel has a lot of potential. However, the hotel is poorly maintained, especially taking into consideration that it was opened only half a year ago. If the price was lower, the negative points would be acceptable, but the provided pictures/description are misleading. You should not expect too much when booking!

United KingdomPest control could have been better. Cockroaches were in the bathroom, insects and geckos were all over the room.
Staff were very friendly and attentive. Such a breathtaking location. They were kind enough to reserve a room with both rocks view - Pidurangala and Sigiriya. Decent sized pool overlooking paddy fields. Divine Lankan style breakfast. Very pleasant stay.

CanadaSome minor maintenance issues only a problem if you are really picky or don’t require 4 stars to have a good vacation. The food service was very slow and the dishes are somewhat pricey for what they are. But if you can handle these things, we are all of our meals here and were overall satisfied.
Spectacular setting and location. The view from the suites and pool is incredible. The design is modern and good. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and honestly what we loved most about this place. They really welcomed us, a male couple, and made us feel very comfortable there. The food is overall good. A few menu items could be improved but there is really good variety.
