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.).

ItalyFor the type of short-term holiday in this country we were forced to stay too little time here in Heritage Rangiri Villa
I had chosen this hotel to stay away from the chaotic traffic of Dambulla and in fact I found a real pearl of peace and wisdom. The structure is modern and well furnished internally. The room is large with very comfortable beds and mattresses. The bathroom is equipped with every local comfort, including a good Wi-Fi and there are many electric sockets, good air conditioning and blade fan that are almost silent. The manager is a kind, affable and caring person who organized 2 days of unforgettable excursions by taking us from the Avukana Buddha to Pidurangala, Sigiriya rock and Polonnaruwa ancient complex. He also edited breakfast and dinner in detail delighting us not only with his local dishes but also of a warm company and his precious indications. The location of this hotel, despite the rural appearances, is strategic for those who want to visit the famous temple in the Dambulla's Cave Rock Temple and the surrounding area on foot in a few minutes. But it is also for those who want to make close encounters with elephants and other animals that feed themselves along these roads, without resorting to a safari... to take exceptional photos. In short, to start knowing the culture of Sri Lanka we could not find better! This place is already an experience in itself, highly recommended, and we wish all the best for him.

RussiaIt was a little noisy after 7.30, if you want to sleep longer, ask for a room not near the dining area.
Amazing hospitality and customer focus. Authentic breakfasts, you can order dinner. Sights within walking distance. And all this for a fairly modest price. 100% I recommend staying here.

Perfect stay! I wanted to stay 1 night, ended up extending :) the very friendly owner had a lot of suggestions about sights to visit, organised a safari within minutes of arrival - I saw lots of elephants. Visited Sigiriya and Pidurangala, the caves. His neighbour is a tuk tuk driver, took me everywhere. It was all very comfortable and easy. Travelling solo I felt very well taken care of - can totally recommend!

LithuaniaOur stay here was fantastic. The owner was exceptionally pleasant and helpful, arranging a complimentary pickup from the bus station to the accommodation. The beds were very comfortable, and the entire environment was impressively clean. They also prepared excellent, Sri Lankan-style breakfasts. It completely exceeded all our expectations for the price. Additionally, it's in a great location, within walking distance to the cave temple.

GermanyI can't remember anything. If something didn't work, Sarath fixed it immediately.
Sarath is a very kind, passionate and helpful host (and an excellent cook!), he even arranged a birthday cake short term and we had the best curry for dinner in Sri Lanka so far (after 10 days we already have a good comparability). He organized a driver for our visit in Sigiriya at a reasonable price and when we left he made sure we catch the right bus to our next destination. ❤️ The location is very close to the cave temples (walking distance) Rooms are air conditioned so the high temperatures didn't affect us during the night.
