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.).

GermanyThe only thing was that the flush on my toilet was a little tricky to use. I had to flush quite a few times but a very minor thing.
The room was stylish, new, comfortable, cool (with A/C) and well located for a tranquil and relaxing stay. This was a very welcome for me after a lot of hostel stays. The staff are all really friendly and the owner helped organise dinner, breakfast, a TukTuk around the Ancient City (considering my budget) including a drop off to the bus station for my trip to Negombo. We also had really interesting conversations in the morning. Thanks so much for a really great stay!

AustraliaThe distance between the main area of the town is a bit far from this place. But the owner always prepared to give transport if you do not have a car in the premises!
The owner is a very experienced Chef and a traveller. He has travelled and worked in many countries and knows the needs of the clients. When we arrived in extremely hot and warm weather he gave us a welcome drink and it was so refreshing! The following morning served with an excellent breakfast which we requested!

Sri LankaHardly anything that we didn't like. However, wifi facilities and credit/debit card payment facilities would have enhanced the quality of the service.
The breakfast was superb and was well presented. The quality of the food was excellent. The service superior to most other places. What we liked was the personalised service that was offered. The host was extremely friendly and helped meet all our requirements. Hoping to come back for a longer stay.

The host was very kind, friendly and helpful. He organized a Safari day to the Wilpattu National Park and he went above and beyond by getting up at five AM to bring us to the Wilpattu entrance by car. He cooked as a very delicious, homemade dinner. The room was very nice, the bed was comfy. We would definitely stay again in this accommodation.

South AfricaYou'd have to go a long way to find a more hospitable, helpful and engaging host than Don. In fact it would not be possible. He used his own car to take us into town free of charge, provided supper on sight to save us having to go out after a long day, arranged transport, etc. Forest Edge is exceptional value for money. Highly recommended.
