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.).

The room size was amazing & the hotel was high-end. We only managed to stay for less than 24 hours due to our flight home so it was a shame not to make the most of the place & explore the beach area. Owner was very friendly & helped us find somewhere to eat in Colombo.

United KingdomThis was the standout hotel of our whole journey around Sri Lanka! Exceptional staff, exceptional accommodation. Hosts and staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The shower, bed and whole room were very comfortable and spacious, particularly the modern bathroom. Amazing location a few minute walk from Mount Lavinia Beach. Thank you very much for a fantastic stay! We will be back again :-)

Lovely place to stay in Mount Lavinia - a home from home as we used it as our base in Sri Lanka. We enjoyed delicious and varied breakfasts, and cups of tea were offered when we returned tired from trips. They also kindly made sandwiches for our long train trips. Really delightful people run the hotel. The rooms are spacious and well appointed.

United KingdomIt's not so much I didn't like, but it would have been nice to see some plants for a little bit shade, or even a parasol by the pool if you wanted to avoid the sun for a bit.
Breakfast was exceptional! The staff were fantastic, could not ask for better! Very attentive and helpful! Beautiful lobby and roof top pool very clean.

This little hotel was a gem of a find. The staff were just lovely and keen to do whatever they could to help. The owner was very conscientious. The rooms were exceptional, spacious lovely balcony with A/C. The breakfast was the best we experienced throughout our three week travels through S Lanka. It's only a short walk to the lovely beach. It was probably our best hotel during our stay.

Lovely peaceful hotel, great room and location. Above all the Manager and staff were so very kind and helpful to us, especially after I had an accident and badly sprained my ankle. The hotel Manager was truly one of the kindest people we have met and we are thankful for all the help he gave us. I would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Mount Lavinia 😊

United KingdomFrom start to finish the staff at Coza Ceylon were so helpful, from handling your luggage to organising taxis for you. The rooms are absoutley fantastic and used the facilities to unwind and relax after a long day of travelling. The breakfast served is also full of traditional sri lankan dishes and is definitely recommended.

QatarOnly a suggestion, A/C not to be directly placed towards the bed so it won’t directly hit the wind while asleep.
One of the fantastic places I stayed during my short time in Sri Lanka. Very friendly n supportive staff including owner. Facilities were top notch. Nature friendly decoration n very much calm place to stay. Near to beach n all the main restaurants around the corner. The bed was super comfortable n well maintained rooms.
