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.).

NetherlandsThe welcome could not have been warmer, the room very comfortable, plenty of hot water and our own outside seating area next to the pool a great bonus. The hotel is in a quiet street but only a short walk from the beach and all sorts of restaurants. The land lady went out of her way to spoil all of her guests. Hairdresser, massages, fresh fruit drinks, coffee, tea, home cooked breakfast, in-depth conversations. A really nice place to stay and to return to!

United KingdomEmbiente Guest House is a lovely oasis of calm with a beautiful garden and pool. A great place to relax after our travels around Sri Lanka and before our flight home. The breakfast was very good and kindly prepared early morning to suit our needs. The hosts were friendly and very helpful (especially, for us, with advise about local hospitals). Recommended.

FinlandRoom is quite dark, it needs more lights. Sockets were not conviniently placed for phone charging. It was a bit weary and shabby.
Very quiet and peaceful surroundings, beautiful garden with a pool and very friendly staff. We were the only guests there for most of our stay, so we really enjoyed the private villa feel!

United KingdomThe perfect end to our stay in Sri Lanka. Embiente is a sanctuary. The owners take sure care of their property, are very welcoming and helped us with all our needs including laundry and tuk tuk to the airport. The room was super clean, and the bed was comfy. We loved having the pool area to relax in. I enjoyed a lovely and relaxing massage in the garden listening to the birds. Its also so close to restaurants and bars. Perfect!

DenmarkWe had a very pleasant stay at this guesthouse! We had everything we needed and the guesthouse has a lovely atmosphere with lots of plants! But the best of all is without a doubt the sweet and kind guy who works at the guesthouse! He was so nice and curious and helped us a lot during our stay! He needs more credit for his kind soul and hard work :))

NetherlandsOur first two nights in Sri Lanka were spent in the ideal place to acclimate to the country's charm. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a helpful and friendly host who even arranged transportation from the airport to our accommodation. The rooms were spotlessly clean and provided a comfortable sanctuary after long flights. The highlight was definitely the delightful little pool, perfect for unwinding and refreshing ourselves. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to start or finish their Sri Lankan journey. Liesbeth & Carla - Netherlands

GermanyThe Water pressure is very very weak. I booked but on arrival we had to pay extra for AC which I didn’t realise and pretty sure it was saying it comes with AC. We‘ve got only one very narrow sheet which is only fine for one person and to small for two people.
Property has a very nice garden and pool. Very quite location so can just relax either after or before your flight for a day

IndiaThe bathroom did not have an exhaust ,and becasue of it there was a small window in place which has to be cranked open when in use,which invites plenty of mosquitos.No kettle in the room. And no toileteries.when we stayed there for a night,there was a powercut which lasted for hours in the daytime,which was unbearable heat. Maybe a power backup in place could fix it.
The pool was amazing and the staff were friednly and polite. The room was clean and so was the bathroom and the common area.very close to the beach(10min walk to the browns beach) ,close to many eateries and supermarkets but in a peaceful neighborhood.Towels and sheets were clean.
