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.).

United KingdomFor me as a solo female traveller I wasn't keen on the location and the scooter rental had none available and there was nothing to do in the area without some form of transport. The beach was lined with rubbish.
The guy who works there is so friendly and helpful. Offered to take me in his tuk tuk to the main road so I could catch my bus and to the shops incase I needed anything. Outdoor seating area. Close to beach

Good location, responsive room service, clean and comfortable room, fast check out. It was an excellent stay. Located slightly further away from city centre and therefore offers quiet surroundings for good rest. Room design is contemporary and I like it a lot.

NetherlandsThe owners of the guesthouse are really sweet. They help you if needed and the are in for a chat. The location is very close the the beautiful Nilaveli beach. Where also the locals looking for some swim pleasure. The Sri Lankan breakfast was very tasty and fresh from the land. We could really recommend this place if you are looking for some more quiet beach space and if you are in to some local experience.

Sri LankaThe room I stayed in was nothing short of perfect. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with a sense of warmth and coziness. The interior design was tastefully done, creating a welcoming and homely ambiance. The room was impeccably clean, and the attention to detail was evident in every corner. What truly made my stay exceptional was the exceptional level of friendliness and hospitality from the staff. From the moment I checked in to the time of my departure, they went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. They were always ready to assist with any questions or requests, providing valuable local tips and recommendations that made my trip even more enjoyable.

PolandOur accomodation was very nice! In the cottage is everything you need. You can rest on the terrace and see lovely squirrels which were walking and jumping on the trees. We could eat a delicious breakfast (try it!). The cottage is located close to the beach. It is close everywhere. If you take a boat from the beach you can see beautifill coral reef and fishes. Our hosts were very kind and very helpful. Don't hesitate to ask them about anything, they will help you for sure! I definitely recommend to stay in Gopalapuram Guest House! Thank you so much!

The room was spacious and clean. The beds and mattresses were simple but good enough to sleep. It is a really short walk to the beach and calm at night, beautiful palm tree and open space in front of the bungalow with air con. Nice white interior. The owners are really so kind, helpful and welcoming, we felt at home. The kids loved the two goats in the garden.
