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.).

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we disliked but just fyi for others, there are a lot of crows about the hotel grounds that were quite noisy at times. Not much the hotel can do about that but I could imagine it might annoy some people.
Staff were super friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast had good selection. Our AC wasn't working when we first arrived but they had maintenance out and had it fixed with in 10 mins. Right on the beach front. Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomAlthough the room is clean, the a/c is not clean so we had a cough throughout our stay. We used the fan instead and we felt better instantly. The food and drinks were overpriced compared to other cinnamon hotel we stayed in.
The location, the views and comfort. Very private and the facilities were great. The staff were very friendly as well. Great service at the crab hut and the food was exceptional. The room is kept clean spotless

AustraliaAs above.
We liked that staff and facilities. Everything was good except for the food. The breakfast buffet was good- however we did not like the dinner buffet. We were hoping for some more plain western type food. It also did not cater for my daughter's Gluten free diet. It would be good for foods to be labelled with GF signs. For Sri Lanka we thought that it was expensive. It was the same price as in Australia.

GermanyThe location of the hotel is perfect to stroll the beach directly for sunrise/sunset, to jump into the ocean or to hop into a boat for a tour. The beach directly in front of the hotel was well maintained in terms of removing rubbish and dead fish first thing in the morning. My room was as described and had a lovely balcony facing the beach and overlooking the pool (which was also kept clean). The restaurant served a great selection for breakfast. The hotel is close to numerous restaurants nearby for dinner options outside (if inclined).
