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.).

NetherlandsMinor thing; our room was ready a bit later than check-in time, but we could wait in the breakfast area. Also, next time I would go for room with AC because it was a bit too hot to sleep without.
We had very nice stay in the jungle Villa! The owners are a very friendly, happy and helpful family. The room and bathroom were clean and had good curtains. Also the breakfast is super delicious and a lot! Lastly the location was also a bit away from the big road, which was nice!

SpainThe breakfast is very modest so don't expect too much.
I stayed here for 10 days and absolutely loved it. It's in the jungle but close enough to the beach. Very quiet space, has everything, including hot water which is sometimes a rare find in Sri Lanka. Wifi works and is pretty fast. You also have laundry option for additional fee of 400 rupees (under 2 euros). So overall, very happy and would come again!

I stayed at Jungle Villa for 16 days and really enjoyed my accomodation. First of all i', grateful to host Isuru and his family for their kind service! They helped me till the last minute with my every need and questions. Every morning they served an amazing breakfast with fruits, coffee, toast and eggs, whatever surfer might need)) Coffee machine and laundry available on the Villa. One of the best spot for surfing - Kabalana beach is available within 10 min walk or 3 min ride a motorbike. Apartment located in quiet and peaceful place with jungle around.

United KingdomThere's nothing not to like.
Everything. The family hosting are exceptionally kind people. They feel like my own family. I stayed here one night and immediately decided this was the place for me to set up long term. I had to house hope for 3 weeks before a room was available again and every place I stayed in those 3 weeks (a total of 6 places) were nowhere near as good, and some even cost twice as much. Don't look further if you want to be at peace, get local feel and absolute value for money.

GermanyI prefer more local breakfast - but still the big plate of fresh fruits was nice. They quickly organized a scooter to rent, but it was not in good condition (light and mirror defect), they could have been a bit more sympathetic about it. I expected a more „social“ vibe

RussiaA little tired of the same breakfasts. With the same cost of food, you can at least change them periodically so they don't get boring.
Very friendly and courteous staff, beautiful grounds and proximity to a great surfing beach. There is a kitchen where you can cook your own food and a refrigerator. Convenient desk for work. Quite remote location, but you can walk to the road in 5 minutes at a quiet pace. There is a washing machine that guests can use.

Germanythe room we stayed in was quite small and without A/C but that was fine because the hotel has many hang out areas and a small porch in front of each room :). Isuru gave us a second fan so the room wasn’t very hot.
This sweet little hotel is a hidden gem in Kabalana/Ahangama. A short walking distance from Kabalana beach with many nice restaurants around (Trax is just down the road). Isuru and his family live next door and are super helpful and welcoming. The Guesthouse has a great vibe and is a very good place to meet other travelers. The breakfast was good too!

SwitzerlandJungle Villa is a hidden gem - I absolutely loved the place. It is super peaceful, tucked away in the jungle, tranquil atmosphere, you can't hear the busy mainroad or train but still close enough to walk to the beach and surf spot. Rooms are comfortable and offer enough space. The family who runs the place is super lovely and helpful, so is the staff there. Coffe and breakfast is amazing in the morning. I ended up staying there longer than I booked. Definitely would go back there again.
