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.).

United KingdomReally friendly family, lovely bright bedroom, really tasty and big breakfast. 5 minutes to the beach. Your own private garden where you can have breakfast and watch the monkeys coming by. Little things like washing lines to hang wet stuff and an additional mosquito net on the bedroom window for ventilation were much appreciated.

He will surprise you at breakfast with something delicious and if you want to chill on sunbeds at the beach you won't pay as Kingsley is friends with the workers. Really nice and comfortable room and the location is perfect for surfing at Hiriketya

CroatiaThere is nothing we did not like. People here live simple, happy and so should we as tourists too. The place has everything you need, and the breakfast is exceptional. You are surrounded by nature and jungle. The only thing we can improve is to smile as much as they do.
We spent till now 5 weeks at Kingleys place. COming and going, on and off. It is always our first choice. Kingleys family made us feel like home. We were never hungry. Kingsley and his family, they are all good cooks. The breakfasts exceed any expectation and are fabulous. A real Sri Lanka experience. The space has everything you need and it is one of the cheapest places around here. Kingsley also has famous rice and curry you can preorder for the evenings and during season people have to reserve 2 days before. The best experience we had in Sri Lanka and we will definitely be back again.

Everything was perfect. The accommodation is basic, but we felt immediately at home Kingsley and his family are the most amazing hosts you can get Breakfast is served in the little restaurant next door and is incredibly fresh and tasty. Can also recommend other dishes like rice & curry (once you've tried it, you never want to eat elsewhere) Thank you so much for the wonderful moments we have share with you during our short stay and all the best for your family
