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.).

CyprusExcellent hotel with a very good breakfast and big clean rooms. Also the hotel driver named Michelle was very nice, polite and helpful, took us for a day tour sightseeing with his van and for a very good price. I totally recommend him!

This hotel is in great conditions. The room is clean, bathroom is spacious with great water pressure, bed is big and what's better is that it has a great view. Staff is very helpful with everything. Wifi coverage is great and smart TV is available in the room.

MalaysiaNothing really except 2-ply toilet paper would be nice hahaha but i’m just a snob 😂
Exceptional customer service. Our flight got delayed, we arrived at 4:30am and the staffs waited for us, like.. that was very sweet of them to do so. Breakfast was always the reason we got out of bed, especially the local Sri Lankan brekkie. Room was spacious, clean, comfortable. Shower needed a bit of time for it to be hot but nothing to complain about. Get them to call Michel and Roshan to give you a tour around Kandy. They’re honest, kind, and nice people who don’t need any form of navigation haha. Super impressive really. We thought we’d only need a driver for one day and we ended up asking Michel to send us back to Colombo. Highly recommended. Will come back again! P/s: We can’t wait for the new swimming pool too!

AustraliaUnfortunately the night we stayed there was a festival in Kandy and there was banging noise past midnight which affected our sleep. Management were very sweet and offered us a discounted buffet breakfast, so this is not a negative but just a note.
Great value for money, staff were friendly and greeted us with cold towels and a refreshing juice. Manager and reception staff were very accommodating. Everything was up to standard and great value for money.

GermanyEverything was fine and the only thing I can say to be improved is the quality of the fruit juices and the Continental breakfast. My daughter is vegan and had not much choice besides the Sri Lankian breakfast was to spicy for her.
very friendly and competent staff, helped us with any suggest we had. Large room with phantastic view and a big bathroom with all you need. Wifi was excellent. We recommend the Tuk Tuk service by the Hotel. Was a little bit more expansive than Pick Me but the service was much better. It takes about 8 minutes to the city center by Tuk Tuk and you get a quiet and relaxing Hotel. If we will go to Kandy again this is our choice for the next stay.

United KingdomThe slope to the hotel caused a few issues for our driver. It's a little out of town so you just eat and drink there.

Kandy Hills was a lovely place to stay for our 2 nights in Kandy. Everything was clean and comfortable, with staff welcoming us. We had dinner one night and breakfast, and both had good offerings and choices. Kandy Hills is approximately a 15-minute walk into city but definitely a tuk tuk ride back, especially with children, as mostly uphill. Thanks for a lovely say. I would definitely recommend booking here to stay with family as nice not being totally in city.
