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.).

AustraliaOur check in took an hour and a half with no explanation as to the delay. The hotel seemed very well occupied so maybe that was the reason. The a la carte restaurant offering was not very good.
The vines outside the windows were beautiful and the panoramic views from the infinity and rock pools were amazing. The room was spacious and our room was serviced promptly and completely.

Saudi ArabiaThe only comment I have is that the drinks and spa sessions could be more affordable compared to what is available in the city just a few minutes away.
The hotel is amazing and feels like it has been tastefully swallowed by the surrounding jungle , while looking out over a vast plane and lake on the front , I highly recommend staying here.

Sri LankaFood. Was. HORRID... For the price mainly. The buffet sometimes had old bread once from what I noticed. Stale essentially. For Vegetarians, there's just "enough" but for the price, not that worth it. I wouldn't even mind spending a bit more IF IT MEANT QUALITY! They over-compensated with quantity but no quality. The Sri Lankan section was good though, just not everything else. Even ordering from the Menu is not worth the price.
Amazing Room! The biggest highlight and 90% of what you're spending on! Just brilliant and beautiful! The Bonus is the extremely patient and excellent Hospitality shown by the restaurant. It easily made up for everything else that went wrong with the food there. Also, their Banana Bread is AMAZING! Pick some up and other goodies they have like their Jams and stuff.

United Arab EmiratesThe check-in process was a bit weird. First they take you to the lobby (which is not in the main entrance) to do the registration And then you have to go back to the main entrance to do the payment in the cashier. After hours of travelling with a toddler it just felt exhausting to have to do this process. The bathroom had a smell. It smelled like pee that was not cleaned well.
Room was great. Bed was comfortable. Location and view was excellent. Great selection of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. Some hit or miss with regards to food (beef always tough. Some items undercooked) but otherwise great. Local food selection was extremely delicious and we enjoyed trying it out. We chose this because my toddler loves animals and it did not disappoint. He saw monkeys in our balcony and everywhere around the property.

United Arab Emiratespersonnel is very stingy, and liars, wanted to charge extra for room upgrade, due to in availability for the pre booked room, but we were not even informed regarding the upgrade; they didn’t want to give free welcome drink the next morning as well (we arrived late night, and didn’t want to have welcome drink at night)
the hotel is located in the jungles habitat by monkeys on the lakeside, the view is fantastic
