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 LankaAs usual there were hidden cost such as vat. Customer should be encouraged by giving better price looking at today's economic scenario in the country.
Staff & food was fabulous. Front office should be more customer friendly in my view. Since we stay one day we could not see housekeeping however it looks better. Not a bad location for anyone.

Great staff, lovely food and a really nice room. The pool is good and the property was far enough from the main road for it to have little effect. Very convenient for visiting the astonishing ancient city. Very good value for money.

HungaryThere was no hot water when I had a shower, but maybe it was my bad luck as my sister did not experience this issue. Anyway hot water is not necessary in 30+ degrees😄
Staff was super-friendly, we had an amazing dinner by the pool right after we enjoyed its comfort while we did birdwatching 😀 They prepared us lunchboxes as we had to leave early.

United KingdomThis comment is more about Anuradhapura, but there wasn't a whole lot nearby, and the hotel is slightly out of town.
We loved the pool, which offered welcome relief from the heat. The breakfast was a feast and the waiters were lovely. The rooms were spacious and clean.

United KingdomThere is some noise from the road, which is close by.
This is a very comfortable hotel with large rooms. We had room number 805, (top right in the photo). The hotel is set just off the road, not far from the all the major tourist points of interest. Our room was large with comfortable bed. It also has a good sized balcony, which unfortunately is in direct sunlight during the day, so not possible to sit out. Perfect morning and evening. There was no fridge in the room and one would have been much appreciated. WiFi is very poor in the room. The waiting staff were excellent, very friendly and always smiling. Great service. Food is all cooked fresh to order so can take quite some time, however it is worth waiting for, good quality and very reasonably priced. Nice large pool. Breakfast was excellent with "both" Western and Sri Lankan served, so you won't go hungry. In summary the hotel, like many we have stayed requires some maintenance and TLC, however we had a very enjoyable stay, accomodation and food great value.

United StatesRestaurant food took a very long time to serve, for both lunch and dinner. Dinner was served over an hour 15 mins later. Our server was very apologetic. Front desk could be a bit more welcoming and smiley 😊…just sayin.
We really loved the spacious room and bathroom! Lovely balcony view as well. Looked clean and very nice!! The open restaurant overlooking the pool and the rice fields was great. Restaurant food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Very close to Anuradhapura.

ItalyMaintenance should be done in several parts of this hotel, inside the rooms but also in the common areas.
It has everything to be a real resort, just need a bit more effort in the managing. Rooms are spacious and with all the necessary, nice pool, good restaurant and an abundant breakfast.

AustraliaThe pool had been chlorinated when we were in about 7 pm and caused the eyes to get sore. Also because of the religious environment there is no alcohol available with a meal or for a casual drink so BYO is you want some.
The facility was as shown in the profile and the room were very comfortable overlooking paddy fields. We chose the dinner and breakfast included option and both were great. The pool is a nice amenity and great to relax in of an evening.
