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.).

Sri LankaNOTHING, EXCEPT A HOT MILK TEA (MADE BY MR. RAJA) IN THE MORNING.
To continue the hotel business, property should be upgraded thoroughly. 1. Beds are ugly and smelling pillows, bed sheets etc.. 2. No ventilation in the room 3. Horrible bathroom. Even doors are broken and not working properly. Insects are coming out from bathroom tiles gap. 4. Dangerous to use hot water bathing system. No cold water mixing system. One has to do the jugglery to take a worm water bath !!!!! 5. No place to keep luggage ? 6. No control on Smoking cigarettes by Guests & owner of the property. Total smoke is rotating inside the premises. A LOT TO CHANGE

AustraliaBlack mould on the mattress, men sitting directly outside your room late at night and very early in the morning, the light coming straight in until it's turned off by the manager at night, the service staff in the room next door, the service staff coming out of their room everytime you do because you can hear every movement, piss, fart, conversation etween the rooms, the hole in the roof, the filthy mouldy and rusty shower and bathroom, the lack of security on the door, the unfriendly staff that yell at you when you ask for help, the air conditioner that only works with a set code they don't tell you and if you stand on the bed at a certain angle, the filthy shower, the leaking toilet, the cockroaches, the water provided is tap water in a bottle and unsealed and a drawer full of random electronic equipment and routers.

the free tour was great! staff were great. please note they do take you to a gem store and they likely get commission however if you don’t want to buy you don’t have to. the staff are lovely.

IrelandI feel bad giving a low rating to somewhere so cheap, as I believe you get what you pay for. But this place was pretty awful. Cockroaches and rats in the room, walls are made of thin plywood so very noisy (footsteps in the corridor will wake you up). Tiny room. Filthy bathroom, sheet doesn't fit the bed, uncomfortable bed. Worst of all though is at check out the manager tried to charge us double, saying the booking.com price was per person. He also used a different conversion rate. There's nothing worse than feeling you're being scammed as a tourist. So very cheap, but I would not advise staying here
The price is very cheap. That's the only positive
