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.).

Saudi ArabiaI recently stayed at this hostel for 2 nights and had an unforgettable experience. The location is superb, with breathtaking views, especially from the rooftop lounge. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean. What truly sets this hostel apart is the unparalleled hospitality. Mr. Mahesh, the manager, and Mr. Naveen at the reception provided exemplary service. Mahesh not only recommended a fantastic itinerary in Kandy but also went above and beyond to help me secure train tickets when they were hard to come by. Naveen's polite and humble demeanor, along with his prompt assistance, made my stay even more enjoyable. His kindness extended to accompanying me to the train station when I was struggling with the ticket. Though I don't remember all the staff's names, their kindness and professionalism didn't go unnoticed. I am genuinely grateful for such a remarkable experience in Kandy. Thank you!

United KingdomI didn’t find this very good value compared to other places we have stayed in Sri Lanka, breakfast wasn’t included, there wasn’t a kettle in the room or a fridge and when I asked if I could have a hair dryer there wasn’t one that they could have provided.
The room had large windows with a great vew alongside a balcony. The bed was also very comfortable and the staff were very nice. There was also a great rooftop bar / restaurant with amazing views over Kandy!

NetherlandsLoved my stay here! All the staff is so friendly and wanting to help. They had good tips for my stay in Kandy, but also for the rest of my stay in Sri Lanka. The hotel is very clean and since it's a new hotel, everything still looks good. I had an upgrade to a private room, but the dorm looked fine as well. Also the location is great, within 15 minutes you're at the temple of tooth which is next to the city centre. Would like to thank the amazing staff to make my stay the best!

PolandThis place is advertising itself as co-working space, where in fact WiFi was not sufficient to have online calls. The price was a bit high taking that the room consist of only bed and bathroom and wardrobe. No mini fridge, or desk or hairdryer. Also the rooms Are not cleaned everyday, what you could expect for this price.
The room was clean and water pressure with hot water. Bed was comfy. AC working quietly. The poeple working there were very nice. The restaurant at the rooftop(though they could use some upgrades for breakfast options).

Sri LankaWe stayed at Kurumbunkz for one night. It started raining so we decided to have drinks and dinner at the hotel. On the menu it says „Happy Hour before 6pm“. Thats wrong, it was ONLY from 6-7pm, so we had to pay the normal price for the drinks…Food was great though…but kinda expensive. We were the only guests in the restaurant. There were a lot of guys working but no one kinda knew how things work, they always had to call the manager…They also didnt have enough change, so better pay with credit card. There was NO Wifi in the rooms, dissapointing.
