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.).

CanadaThere were mixed reviews on booking.com about noise from the street/train - we were in the room closest to the street. My partner is an extremely light sleeper and got a great sleep with ear plugs (as did I without)! Audible noise from cars starts around 6:30am but it’s not that loud and our view was that everywhere in Sri Lanka wakes up this early anyhow (we’ve been up around 7 daily). The train didn’t disturb us at all :)
This home is such an oasis. It’s beautiful inside and we enjoyed so much sitting amongst the plants with the pot of tea that our lovely hosts made for us on arrival. The room is basic but clean and everything worked perfectly fine. There is a large ceiling fan that kept us cool, though Kandy cools down plenty on its own. We got a delicious breakfast recommendation and were so taken care of even though the family was dealing with a sudden medical concern. Thank you so much!

GermanyA traditional Kandy House with small rooms but all comfortable and clean. The place is owned by an elder lady who is really sweet and can tell you all about the city. We loved the dinner at her Place and it is only a 15 min Walk to the Tooth Temple.

SwitzerlandThe street is loud and dirty but entering the guesthouse is like entering into another world.
The owner, Kumari, takes care about everything in a very attentive and friendly way. Like a mother with a very good heart. I liked the flowers and plants in her house. It’s like a small paradise when you come inside.

RomaniaWe were surprised to discover a house with a history of over 200 years, which belongs to an aristocratic family. From the busy street you enter a space with fairy tale atmospherestory. We stayed for a week in this superb guesthouse. Mrs. Kumari is a warm person and eager to give directions to know the beauty of the places and the wonderful soul of her people. Every day we received different, fresh and very tasty breakfast. We also had a very tasty and rich dinner, fresh prepared in the house (It's an option we recommend to select). Although we were here after another 17 days in Sri Lanka, we had the opportunity to eat different dishes that Mrs. Kumari gave us all the details about. If you come to Kandy, don't miss this location because it is different from the classic guesthouse. You will feel like family, and access to the main objectives is very easy.

Hospitality of Kumari and others at the house is amazing. They make you feel very at home. House itself is beautiful with a lot of character and charm. A great location for walking to places in the city.
