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.).

We are traveling around Sri Lanka in a rental car - pretty much a road trip! City Paradise Dambulla suits us well in terms of location and budget for someone like us who just wants to clean up and clean bed to rest, then get ready on the car the next day. The kindness and efforts to help out from all the members at City Paradise Dambulla are very impressive making our first trip in Sri Lanka wonderful - thank you :)

United StatesThe only downside was the WiFi was inconsistent, sometimes working fine and other times not working.
I had a very nice 3-night stay in this small, family guesthouse. Everything was spotlessly clean and the bathroom & shower were among my best in Sri Lanka! There is hot shower with great pressure, good ac and even a ceiling fan. I also liked that there is an electrical outlet next to the bed. You can tell that a lot of care goes in to making this a comfortable and safe place for guests. While the location is in the city, it’s back from the busy street so you don’t hear traffic and street noises. The location is also close to the bus stops and there are always a lot of tuk tuks nearby. I was pleased with the driver that they arranged for me for touring and I felt that all the prices were extremely reasonable, including for laundry and delicious dinner meals. I’m happy to recommend this place and Dambulla for your visit to this area! I would definitely stay again.

NetherlandsThe entrance to the resort was a bit messy since they are building a new house there.
Central location, very close to bus station with big garden. Nice place that is relatively quiet. Friendly family with good advice: visit the vegetable market and enter bus one stop before bus station if you want a seat.

PolandBreakfast was too simple and the same every day. Everyday I had at least one frog in my bathroom. It wasn't big deal, but I had to catch them and throw away the house. Room was a bit dark.
I liked the location. In the center of dambulla, but quiet and calm, as house is away from the road. Family was helpful and gave me some tips during my trip.

United Kingdomit was not easy to find anywhere to eat in the evening, there did not seem to be anywhere close by. I had a large late lunch in Jaffna so it wasn't a problem.
Very welcoming, I arrived on an early bus and I was allowed into my room at 7am and given free coffee, and I was able to buy breakfast. Comfortable, in nice quiet road slightly outside main town which was no problem as I had a driver to take me around the town and the peninsula.
