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.).

GermanyA great place to stay, in a quiet area, just surrounded by nature, but only ca. 2,5km away from town. The host is very welcoming and helpful. There are 3 very unique accommodations, that he built by his own. Everything very clean and made with many nice details. The stay in the treehouse was amazing - sth very special, with cosy atmosphere and open air bathroom. Recommended especially for people who love nature and little adventure. There is a mosquito net, but I didn't use - sleeping with open door to the small terrace was like camping in the top of the tree, nice and shady. But remember, that in a tree, there are living other little animals, too... so those, who are scared of that should better stay on the ground :-). The other accommodations have hammocks and are also very cosy. Homemade food, served in an open air kitchen, there you can even watch cooking! I really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this place!

SpainThis has to be the most enjoyable stay I’ve ever had, and I’ve traveled a fair bit. that place is very good doin to yoga. It’s often hard to tell when the locals wishes to help you and when they do it for their own gain, but we quickly learned that Madawa only had our best interests at heart. No matter what we asked for he did everything in his power to get it done. This is the perfect place to start your trip and Madawa will give you advice on where to go, what to do and even call his friends all over the country to help you. He runs this little paradise with his parents, which were lovely, and his mom made us some fantastic food as well! They even have good Wi-Fi believe it or not. I’d recommend spending 2 nights here to anyone. 10/10

SpainMadawa and his family are amazing hosts, the Tree House are the best and most comfortable I've stayed at in any guesthouse in Sri Lanka. He is a source of knowledge about buses and the local area. The safari was very reasonable and he was a very good driver and very respectful of the animals, whilst always getting me the best view. Breakfast was delicious every morning. The location is far enough from town to be quiet, but not far enough to walk to every day.

FranceThe hosts were so lovely! They made sure we were well fed and invited us to share dinner with them each night - based off of the delicious breakfast, not finding the time to so was one of our regrets! On our final day, we left early to hike Pidurangula rock and they were so kind to make us up a packed lunch instead of breakfast to take with us afterwards.

GermanyWhat a gem! We booked the accommodation 2 days before our stay based on previous reviews. The location is outstanding, fantastic view of the Lake and surroundings. The rooms were immaculate and the hosts were outstanding. They arranged a 5.30am trip, with guide and water, to climb the Pidurangala Rock to see the sunrise. The breakfast and dinner was exceptional Sri Lankan fair and we were lucky enough to experience the Sri Lankan cookery lessons. What an amazing family. Can’t recommend highly enough.

You feel the nature, temperature and you can hear and almost feel the jungle... The host and his family are a shining example for hospitality and try to help with everything and beyond. Each recommendation they made was amazing! The safari to see the elephants, climbing the mountain to view lion rock at sunrise, the city safari that taught us how to cook sri lankan style.
