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.).

Sri LankaSupply less amount of sugar and coffee. Solo powder water heater. So there is a hot water problem.
Friendly staff. The room is clean and large. Good for the price range. Wifi is slow. There was a pool. There is a budget room for a low price but not recommended.. There is a microwave but I think it's not use in very long time. Good for relaxing.

FranceThere is no restaurant like it says on booking. We could hear everything from the room and everyone could hear from outside the room, no soundproof at all.
The room was clean and comfortable. 25 minutes walk to the temple, that's ok.

GermanyThere was no rack or chair in the room for the clothes. Just a closet, which smelled moldy when opening it and another closet which was totally useless without any shelves in it. We used the two chairs from the balcony. They were not comfortable to sit on anyway. There was a kettle but no socket nearby. You could only use the socket next to the bed and put the kettle on the bed because the socket is too high to leave the kettle on the floor. Opening the closets of the kitchen facility on our floor I noticed it was very dirty inside and an unpleasant smell came out. Some pots and bowls very moldy. I wouldn’t wanna use it. At 7:15 am in the morning the staff was sitting on the couch in the TV area talking and laughing so I woke up from the noise. Only when I opened the door complaining that I wanted to sleep they became more quit. For one or two nights staying in Kandy it is okay because the price is ok.
We stayed 1 night at The Queens Mount Ridge. The staff was friendly. Bedroom and bathroom were clean and the bed was very comfy. We liked that there are only two rooms on each floor and a TV area where you could sit and chill. Further there are kitchen facilities on each floor, so we could chill our drinks, what we liked. It is a little more far from the City Center (about 35 min. walking distance) but going down to the main road you can catch one of the busses passing by.

Sri LankaFirst off there's a lot of errors on the Booking.com page - Not with pictures - The pictures are accurate. It's the details in the text. Firstly, if you're a Sri Lankan they want you to pay an advance - Despite the page saying no prepayment required. The hotel only communicated this to me in the morning when I was traveling to Kandy. I was suspicious and tried calling the number listed on Booking.com - for one hour no response - just as I was almost about to book another property, the manager picked up and apologized explaining it's because of high levels of fraud locally and said they should've communicated it earlier. Fine. His sincerity convinced me to continue. When I got to the property the next hiccup - the staff. It's not that they're rude - they're non-existent. In-between check-in and check-out I hardly saw any staff in the building. Great for privacy. Not so much if you want help like fresh towels. Or even fresh linen since some of the blankets were dirty. Also despite what Booking.com says, they don't have a restaurant or serve meals. If you're a local you might be comfortable using an online delivery app like PickMe or Uber. But if you want your meals at the property then think twice. Honestly, if they can fix these the hotel would easily elevate itself up a few stars.
For the price it's a great deal as long as you're aware of the compromises. It's got nice rooms (including clean washrooms), working hot water, and a nice pool. To top it off, the views are amazing especially from the roof top. Fairly close by to Kandy city (5-10 mins) by a cab as well. Overall, a great hotel for a short stay. But if they can fix the things mentioned below they'd be perfect

Sri LankaThe place was good but, something was not available at that time. We couldn't use the pool and they did not provide breakfast or dinner so we had to face a problem with providing our meals.

United KingdomWe booked this accommodation purely because of the rooftop pool & we were very disappointed with the management after we arrived & were told that the room we'd booked didn't include use of the rooftop pool. When we made the reservation the room we booked (budget double room) clearly stated that use of the rooftop pool was included in our booking. I had to speak to a manager on the phone about this discrepancy & he was very abrupt with me, stating that we were required to pay extra if we wished to swim in the pool. I asked him to look on Booking.com as it states very clearly pool use is included. He still refused & requested us to pay more. Furthermore our booking stated that wifi was available in all areas, free of charge, but we were told on check in there was no wifi anywhere except the foyer 2 floors up from our room. Just be aware when you're making your booking that the facilities detailed may not actually be included in the price!
Comfortable bed, clean (& spacious) room, good value for money, good location

AustraliaIt is a little bit hilly and not many shops around the area. But you get what you pay for and it is well worth the money.
It is a new building that looks like it was rushed to be opened. There are lots of little things that need to be completed to get the hotel up and running properly. None of these will stop you from enjoying your vacation but they do need to be completed.
