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.).

AustraliaSmall, boutique hotel in very quiet location. Great.views over the lagoon with a lovely pool. Staff are very attentive and friendly. The owner is a lovely lady who takes pride in her establishment. The included breakfast is very nice. If you ask the owner she will cook you an extremely tasty Sri Lankan dinner for a very reasonable price. I would recommend this option.

AustraliaThe only reason I didn’t give 10 is that it is quite a way from Negombo centre. There is nothing really around it so you either need to get Pickme/uber or just stay at Hiru Lagoon and eat there.
Beautiful little garden and view over lagoon, stylish rooms. The owner is incredibly gracious and helpful. We arrived a bit grumpy after a long drive from Ella but she went out of her way to be kind and help us. She helped us get a Pickme into Negombo and made us dinner the next night at very short notice when she was already very busy.

United KingdomNothong we did not like . Guests should be aware there is not much around - we were fine as we booked a 2 night flop before flying , after a month of touring. The owner is a serious but kind lady.
The room was spotless had a beautiful view and offered meals. The owner helped us arrange a taxi to airport when our Pickme taxi app had a problem.

Our stay was one of the highlights of our trip. The accommodation is beautiful, the pool is perfect and the whole place is so clean and comfortable, and very peaceful.. Our hosts were so welcoming and kind. The meal we had in the evening was fantastic and the special New Year's breakfast was full of tradition and delicious. Short tuk tuk ride to the airport, but we wish we could have stayed longer.

NorwayVery kind and helpful hosts. My plane landed very early, so I arrived at Hiru Lagoon early in the morning, the hosts welcomed me, served me coffee and offered me to relax by the pool until the room was ready. Delicious food, both for breakfast and dinner. Near the airport. So it is a very convenient location and a quiet place to spend time after or before the flight. A great view of the lagoon, both in the morning, when the sun greets you, and in the evening when the moon rises
