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 KingdomWe appreciated having access to two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a washing machine and space to dry our clothes in the apartment. We had lovely hot showers everyday, and found the apartment very spacious. The owners provided breakfast each morning at a time to suit us. We had omelettes, fresh fruit and toast for breakfast, which was nice. The apartment is a short distance from the centre of Kandy. A tuk tuk ride to the centre, costs approximately 300 rupees. The family are very warm and friendly. We would definitely recommend the apartment. As tourists visiting Sri Lanka, we found rupees was the best form of payment. We were turned down frequently, when trying to use either apple pay or our bank. We recommend you travel with rupees.

PolandThe best experience ever so far in Srilanka. The hosts are highly genuine and educated people, very warm and kind hearted and accomodating. The food that was organised, the timing was increadible. We could choose between continental or Srilankan dishes. The location of the place couldnt be better, overlooking rainforest park from one side. The sounds of cykades in the evening and roosters in the morming in the city is something that cannot be found i any other city I guess?! Rooms are airy and spacious with beautiful views and the kitchen to high standard. A pleasure to spend afternoons and evenings!!!

Very spacious apartment, which was very comfortable for our family of 5. The location is central behind the Grand Kandyan hotel. The hosts are super friendly and go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable. Excellent communications all through. The breakfast is excellent. We truly appreciated the fact that they provided us with breakfast at 6.30 am, as we had a early start on our last day and even dropped us at the station! The provision of a washing machine in the apartment was very handy. Overall, I would highly recommend this homestay in Kandy. Thank you for a great stay!

RussiaEverything was great. Spacious cozy rooms, breathtaking Mountain View, amazing host. Monkeys were fun to observe :) The flat is equipped with everything you need, if you need anything extra (things, advice, help, hints&tips), feel free to ask Raj, he’s hospitable beyond imaginable. Best host in Sri Lanka (and he speaks good English, which is rare here). Thanks a lot, only warm memories of our stay. If you want to have the best experience in Kandy, look no further.

We would recommend anyone that is visiting Kandy to stay at Hansons Homestay. Raj & his family were the most kind and welcoming hosts that we’ve had. They were always on hand to help with anything that we asked for as well as everything that we didn’t need to ask for. The location is perfect, close enough to Kandy centre to get around easily and far enough away for some peace and quiet. It really was perfect. Thank you so much again, Raj.

Sri LankaMr. Raj and family did their utmost in making our stay as comfortable as possible, which was absolutely heart-warming and left us with a positive lasting impression of Kandy in general. In addition to being accommodating, the apartment is well-maintained and comfortable, with all required amenities present and above par. Highly recommendable especially for a group of friends or families.

The apartment was very clean with three bedrooms and two washrooms (there is one extra near the staircase) for 7 people and had everything like a washing machine, TV, pantry area, cooking appliances etc. The breakfast we received was homemade and delicious. Just a 5-10 minute walk to the city from the apartment and easily accessible. The host Raj was very kind, warm and helpful. We had a nice stay. Thank you.

Great place to stay with a big company - the apartment has many beds and bedrooms, kitchen and two showers. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Raj is a very helpful host, he did everything to make our stay comfortable. Raj and his wife cook great breakfasts and bring local goodies which were great. One of the showers has mountains view.
