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.).

Great guest house with a really big room, a nice mosquite net on the bed and the greatest bathroom during my whole sri lanka trip. The hotel is in a very quiet area and you can easily walk to the city within 5min. The owners made a great take-away breakfast for us because we left already at 4:30 in the morning.

United KingdomThe room was so spacious and the bed was really comfortable! We enjoyed the tent like mosquito net! There was hot water which was also unexpected. The location is good just tucked behind the road so that it's quiet with beautiful views of the countryside. The owners helped us with taxis and also were so kind to let us back into our room after check out to shower as we had just climbed Sigiria rock and afterwards we were traveling to Kandy. The breakfast was also great!

LithuaniaThere is no dinner at the property, but that wasn't a problem, because the main street with all the restaurants, shops and supermarkets (where you can buy food and drinks) is just about 5 mins on foot from the hotel.
The room was clean, comfy beds and a small kitchenette. The location is perfect - a few steps from the main street, but it is really quiet with a nice garden. The breakfast is very good: big portions, tasty dishes both local and Western - the breakfast is served in a beautiful room with a small fish pond. There is a parking right at the entrance, and they can also provide a stay for your driver. The family who run the place are very nice.

Huge room with fridge, sink and tea/coffee facilities. The host was very welcoming and helpful, preparing a breakfast for our 6am start to Sigriya Rock. Nice private terrace with seating. Good location close to shops, restaurants and the cave temple. The breakfast is very generous and the hosts made our stay very enjoyable. We found the bed very comfortable. There was even a mini first aid kit in the room. Would definitely stay here again.

IndiaIt was a chore going out for dinner as we had had a tiring day, but we found an excellent restaurant very close, so it wasn't too bad!
We landed up at this family-run hotel a little late and it took us a few minutes to get someone to attend to us. Once we had moved in, we were very leased with the excellent mosquito net! The room was spacious and the attached bathroom met our expectations although we did wish there were some hooks to hang clothes inside the bathroom. The hotel had no catering arrangements but at our request, the lady of the house conjured up an excellent breakfast the next morning. In fact, she was so friendly, that we ended up exchanging notes about our families! All said it was a very welcoming hotel and we had a good night's rest. For it's price it was very good!
