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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

The most beautiful jungle setting, beautiful natural pool to swim in, could spend at least a day in natural pool and waterfalls. Host is hugely accommodation and cooks amazingly to your preference and timing. Accessibility is hard but host goes out of her way with contacts etc to make it easier for you - we rented a tuk tuk and she had someone drive it out for us. I had irrational fear of insects but wanted to make the best of natural pool. Mona spent the morning sweeping already well kept path to natural pool to make me comfortable (I had no idea til after and did not request this!) Mona is amazing and provides a true family feel.

AustraliaThe owner was so kind and caring. I was not well and she checked on me and made sure I was well fed. The food was awesome. The swimming hole near by was nice for a jungle dip. The jungle surroundings were serene and peaceful. The road in was about 3kms of rockiness, our driver dropped us half way (due to being in a Toyota Prius) and the owner organised a tuk tuk to get us and our gear there.

You can also do a little hike to reach the source of the waterfall. And last but not least, the food is very tasty and fresh. I highly recommend this place!

MaltaThe property is a homestay and Mona is an excellent host. We were treated like family and even though we had some difficulty reaching the location she followed our journey and sent someone out to guide us. When we arrived it was late but she still went out of her way to serve us a tasty local dinner and breakfast. The location is very remote and the natural pool with small waterfall on the property is something we enjoyed immensely. Thank you again for your hospitality and highly recommended!

Polandaccess road, especially at night, not easy to drive (the map stops working, the road is bumpy) - fortunately, an employee came to pick us up on the last section and showed us the way
- amazing location in the middle of the forest - a stream and birds singing on the spot - an interesting experience with a bath in a stream (cool water but you could swim for a while) - friendly and caring service - we were supposed to arrive late so the owner offered to prepare dinner for us (the house is far from the town so there are no other options nearby)

Before we even arrived they were very communicative. We ending up arriving late and they sent someone to meet us on the main road to guide us in. They made us a delicious dinner and even went to get us some beers after our long drive. At every opportunity they could not do enough for us. The surrounding area was absolutely stunning in the rainforest. Very peaceful, clean and a crystal clear waterfall to swim in. They arranged us the white water rafting which was also great. I couldn’t recommend more!

SwitzerlandSu and Mona have been the perfect hosts and we really enjoyed our stay. We stayed two nights, one in their beach resort close to Negombo and one night as initially booked in the nature resort. Su and Mona supported us during our first days after arrival in Sri Lanka finding our lost backpack. Apart from this, they picked us up at the airport, shared a lot of local knowledge with us and even took us to a local event of their friends. The nature resort is a beautiful accomodation in the middle of the Jungle with a natural pool as our highlight. Another highlight was a hike thru the jungle led by Mona. She told us a lot about all the different fruits and plants which was super interesting.
