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.).

LithuaniaThis place was amazing, I highly recommend it if you need to chill after you arrive to Sri Lanka or have an early flight!! The internet speed was perfect, I was able to work without interruptions. Owner gives you a beer upon arrival. There's a fish tank so you can get a massage from them. They provided breakfast, and I was also able to book dinner through them. And the drop off to the airport was smooth. It was the perfect place to end my travels in Sri Lanka

United KingdomI would have liked to have filled out my travel details in the morning, after asleep, rather than being asked to on arrival at 4 am after an all nighter!
The breakfast was basic but good! The service was second to none! He helped us plan our whole holiday, recommended and provided a lovely driver. He picked me up from the airport at three am and sent us out to see Negombo via tuktuk! He was our first experience of Srilanka and he set us up for success!

United KingdomRather noisy as lots of travellers arriving & departing during the night. The accommodation, in pod-type huts, is very close together.
Location only 5 minutes drive from Colombo airport. Owners exceptionally kind - free welcome drink, free airport transfer by car in the middle of the night. Could provide meal if requested. Excellent value for money & a great place for a shower & some sleep before heading to the airport for a long flight.

United StatesWe were in a difficult situation, where we had to find a place to stay an extra night due to cancelation of flight. We chose a very cheap hotel, close to the airport, because of the price and we could stay until our flight also. The hotel we stayed in was so bad we had to leave after a couple hours. When we contacted the host, he said no problem about staying past checkout and even picked us up from the awful hotel we chose. The problem was on booking, it offered the room for 2 people for 12 dollars...we get there and he wants 12 dollars each. Now I book the room for 2 people through booking.com for 12 dollars. He then says no and its an issue on booking....this is a problem now for us because we did not want to spend an additional 24 dollars on top of what we just paid for our last hotel. As I couldnt cancel, he threatened to cancel the booking unless we paid. We ended up paying and enjoying our stay, but this was an issue on his part, and we should have been able to stay for 12 dollars and not 24. I still rated an 8/10 because it was an administrative error and he seemed genuinely surprised when we booked it right in front of him for 12 dollars for 2 people. Again lovely place and great hospitality, we just ended up in a bad situation, that we paid for.
We liked the host, he was friendly and nice, and all the staff were friendly also. The pool was also small but really nice as it was hot. The rooms were just how described with great A/C and a large TV. The host also let us stay longer than our check out time, for our flight later in the evening. The host also drove us to the airport, and picked us up from a nearby hotel
