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.).

Australiait wasn't a place you could walk to from the nicest part of the town centre near the lake but Kandyan did offer free pickup, to get up the hill. You would definitely need a tuk tuk to get there and back otherwise, which the staff could easily arrange.
The pleasant staff tried very hard to make us comfortable. There was a small but more than adequate pool, and the view from our enormous room, with floor to ceiling windows and balcony, was excellent. Breakfast was very good indeed.

South AfricaThe grubby white chairs at the pool were an absolute turn off for me. The lack of a fridge in the room was difficult, especially as the hotel is so far away from any shops and restaurants. The aircon in our room was impossibly noisy, and we were told the hotel was aware of it, but had done nothing about it. Be aware the hotel is only half constructed, but it isn't a problem.
The best thing about this hotel is Joshua! What a hardworking, efficient, obliging young man. Breakfast was sufficient, but served in an ugly part of the hotel. The pool was lovely, but needed some umbrellas for the loungers. The free pick up from the station was much appreciated, we would never have found the hotel in the hills.

IrelandIt was hard to get in contact with reception. There was hardly ever someone there. There is not much to the hotel other than the rooms and a very small pool area.
Hotel was nice and clean, the room was spacious, breakfast was very nice and good value and the staff were friendly. It is best to get a tuktuk number from the hotel and use that driver for your trip.

Sri LankaWished if the room's balcony had a view rather than a wall in front of it.
Unfortunately, they couldn't pick up us from Kandy as it was raining heavily, and all their drivers were busy. However, they promised us to offer a free drop to Kandy instead of pickup when we checkout, and surely, they kept their promise. Very friendly staff and the rooms was clean.

United KingdomWe were initially a bit dubious about this hotel as it was so cheap, but we were really impressed. The guy on reception was chilled, helpful and friendly. The rooms were very nice, clean, excellent views. We're often a bit fussy about hotel breakfasts but, whilst basic, it was fresh and nice. The hotel even offers a free pick up from the town when you arrive, which we didn't realise until after! The fox restaurant 5 min walk away is also worth a visit for decent food and great views. Overall, highly recommend and we would stay here again. bargain.

United KingdomThe bed, exceptionally noisy. The lack of atmosphere. The bottom line is that there are only a few rooms finished in what is going to eventually be a wonderful hotel. It’s priced to acknowledge this and as a result it’s very good value for money. But there are some things which need attention to ‘finish’ it, which aren’t done yet. But for the money you live with that. Still not sure why there was a beer can attached to a pipe in the bedroom 🤔
Spacious, clean, out of town. Quiet, the pool, the view - almost everything

PolandIt’s a bit far from the city centre so you can only get here by Tuktuk or a scooter but it’s super quiet here, away from city noice and honking. You can get a western breakfast which is really tasty, the rooms are big and clean, unfortunately we got the one without any views but since we were mostly just sleeping there it wasn’t a problem at all. But what makes this place perfect, more correctly who, is Joshua! He’s always there to help you with basically anything, he goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing and comfortable.

IrelandThe hotel is incomplete but that didn't affect my room or stay. If possible try to get a room with city view as my room didn't have this.
Amazing hotel at great value. As a backpacker it was a treat to stay here. Big comfy bed with TV in room. Modern facilities and really hot water for shower. The pool and deck were lovely for relaxing. The property location was perfect as I wanted to get out of the busy city somewhere near the Pekoe Trail starting point near Ceylon Tea Museum. Special shoutout to Joshua who helped me so much. Anything I asked of him he did! Including minding a bag for me to go and do the Pekoe Trail without too much luggage. I used Uber Eats for dinner so I didn't have to go out in the rain which I liked but others maybe not. Breakfast prepared by Joshua was fab!
