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.).

SwedenThis is the best guesthouse me and my friends ever been to! Staying with Badra and her family was amazing, so kind hearted people. Very close to everything you need and nice accommodation surrounded by the nature. We felt very safe and taken care of. Would really recommend staying here if you’re going to Hiriketiya!

ItalyThe lady owner is so caring and loving. The room is spacious, there's a fan and a lovely outdoor bathroom. Laundry service is available. The location is a bit out of the center but in 10/15 minutes by walk you're by the beach and near all the restaurants, but I think she rents bikes and if you don't want to walk, it might be a good option. Beware there are many mosquitoes, bring a repellent with you.

Badra and her husband were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She made us coffee and provided cake each morning without us even asking. She was very caring and we felt like we were cared as if we were her children. Really wonderful hosts. WiFi worked well, rooms were quiet, outdoor area for hanging wet clothes and chairs / table to sit on.

SlovakiaWonderful stay with the wonderful family ♥️ Badra was like a Cinnamon mama to me, so sweet and caring. Her husband Eddie and daughter Pancheli are very nice and kind people who make your stay feel like home. It is a very peaceful place where you wake up to the sounds of birds. The room is spacious and the outdoor bathroom is really amazing! Internet also works great. When I had an issue with my phone, they were extremely helpful and went above and beyond. I cant be more grateful for them 🙏 You can see beautiful plants and also some funky monkey in their garden 🌿🐒

GermanyWhat can I say? I booked 2 nights and stayed 10. I really had to force myself to leave this beautiful place. As soon as you enter the beautiful garden, you feel like home and feel this incredible energy. Badra and Edi are very charming people. Everything they do comes deep from their heart. Their guests are like family. They help with onward travel, scooter rentals, surfing lessons...everything. I had a little accident and they took very good care of me. Once, I mentioned that I love tomatoes, so i got tomato salad every night eversince. Facts: clean, spacious rooms, open air shower, very beautiful garden with hammock (monkeys, iguanas, squirrels, various birds and 3 lovely dogs) make this oasis of peace perfect. Hiriketiya Beach 10 minutes walk, Dickwella 20 minutes. For small money you can have delicious dinner. Free tea and coffee inbetween. I am very grateful to have met this incredible people
