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 KingdomNothing to dislike.
A realy lovely quiet boutique hotel a short tuktuk ride to the centre of Kandy. The room and lobby were great. We were initially concerned it would be hotelly - it is not. Both Mahindra and Ganesh were wonderfully welcoming and helpful taking our score from 9 to a solid 10.

United StatesThe mattress was very uncomfortable. Seemed more like a box spring as the coils were right at the surface. We were able to get an extra comforter to use as a mattress pad which helped.
A beautiful little hotel. The room was spacious and the common spaces very comfortable and welcoming. Bathroom was very nice. Staff were super nice and helpful. Location was great, very close to the lake on a little side street away from the street noise.

SpainThe hotel is close to the lake, but a bit far from all the main attractions. Because of the weather and the 20-minute walk, logistics weren't easy.
The hotel is in a beautiful house, and the main entrance and natural light are great. The rooms are also well equipped and comfortable. We had a great time sleeping there. The service is also super attentive

The interior courtyard are is really neat. There’s a koi pond where water comes through the roof in to the pond when it rains. The staff were kind.

The staff was very kind and friendly. We had to leave early so they packed some takeaways for our kid.

SpainThis was my first place once arrived in SL, and I felt immediately like at home. The owner organised everything for me, in one day the tuk tuk they called, showed me the best spots in the beautiful Kandy. They helped me also with everything I’ve asked. Breakfast was delicious and the place stunning. I can’t ask for more. This is the BEST place in Kandy, you will not regret and I’ll definitely come back!

United KingdomWe read reviews prior stating that breakfast was excellent. It was fine/average. As it is a villa the rooms weren’t cleaned everyday. It’s a shame wee didn’t get to meet Rohitha, who was the one communicating with with us beforehand.
We really enjoyed the interior of the villa, it was beautiful. The place was very safe too and in a quieter part of Kandy, yet a quick tuk tuk ride away. The communication beforehand with the manager was excellent. They helped arrange a driver from the airport and the next day on some excursions. The driver, Gihan, was incredibly welcoming, and helped us with everything (picked up tickets for the train journey, took us to see various points of interest). We really enjoyed the time with Gihan.
