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.).

AustriaNothing! Everything was perfect.
Lucky and his wife are the best hosts you can imagine! They do everything to make your stay as good as possible. Everything is very clean, they have a little kitchen you can use, space for your wet clothes, outdoor shower, etc... really everything you need! The breakfast was incredible good and very much. Also had dinner once, which was also really delicious and more than enough. The beach is only 1 min away by foot. I stayed there twice during my stay in Sri Lanka. It's the best place, when you are in SK Town. I will definitely come back! Thank you Lucky!

NetherlandsOur stay at Guillet Beach Home was amazing. We loved staying at the family, who took very good care of us. The location is very near the beach, the room was big and comfy, and the breakfast and diner were amazing. Recently, they've improved their wifi, it worked well! Enjoy your stay here, you'll love it.

Lovely place in SK Town We loved Guillet beach home hosted by Lucky, with his lovely wife and daughter. Very welcoming, always there to help if we needed anything. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, bigger than shown on the pictures. A/C, hot water, everything you need. The kitchen facilities were perfect, with a fridge and all cookware we needed. They provided us spices. For this honest price you get quality and a calm environment. Thank you Lucky and thanks to your family. 🙏🏻

United StatesI can't think of anything.
Value: Not “cheap” but far less expensive than the neighboring hotels and guesthouses. If you value cleanliness and warm hospitality you will appreciate how Guillet House excels at these. Location: Half a block from the beach and surf yet removed enough from the road to minimize traffic and people noise. A note for budget travelers: groceries and simple food is available about two blocks walk to the main road. Accommodation: A small house with 3 or 4 very, very clean, simple rooms with all furnishings, appliances and decorations in great shape. The beds are comfortable and not cheap foam. The Fan, AC and hot water worked flawlessly and were probably brand new. A clean, well-stocked kitchen is available but heavy users may need to pay for propane. Staff: This is a family home that guests are welcomed into. Lucky and his wonderfully-welcoming family are always attentive and making efforts to accommodate their guests. There are many repeat visitors here for a reason- Lucky and his family take great care and pride in providing hospitality, food and good cheer. Lucky also provides transport and tours in his spotless tuk tuk or in a car (to or from the airport in Colombo).

CambodiaI came with 2 friends and it was a perfect room for us as they had 3 single beds. i had such a memorable stay, the family is incredible kind and helpful plus very good cooks! I was keen to try a beetroot curry, and they were happy to include it with dinner. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner a lot, they make sure you will not go hungry 😊. 2 min walking to the surf beach, which is great as well!

Sri LankaThere are cameras everywhere, which is a little creepy, to the point where I checked the room for cameras (there were none). There are a bunch of small charges for using gas, or water bottles etc. with signs that "X is very expensive". Maybe but other places don't charge as much so a bit misleading at best. He tried to charge us double the price for a tuktuk ride and seemed 'surprised' when we said we knew that wasn't the real price.
Location was excellent
