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 KingdomThe host - we asked him to book us a tuk tuk to the train station the night before - we confirmed this with him in the morning and he told us the price and we said ok… we turned up for the tuk tuk and he said he hasn’t booked it because we didn’t confirm - even though we confirmed TWO times… almost missed our train because of him. Also didn’t make it clear that the Sri Lankan breakfast had to be pre ordered (when we did have it on our second day it was very disappointing- just some potato curry with string hoppers) Ants everywhere Dog on a short lead - I know in Sri Lanka this is still normal but it was sad to see him always on such a short lead :(

GermanyYou will not have privacy without having the curtains shut down since the rooms look out to the pool and the pool isn't covered by privacy neither. So if you wanna wake up to the sunlight or something more private without cutting on sunlight in your room or a pool which is more private where you can hang around without feeling seen you should consider. Card payment is not possible.
Great location - close to the happening and very friendly staff. Room was spacious, bed was quiet comfy - they have an A/C which is crucial in Sri Lanka for us tourists especially. The biggest plus was the bathroom and the shower. It's a very spacious bathroom with even a bigger modern rain shower. They have a pool outside which we used once, it was totally fine but a few beach stools or something like that would be nice too so you can hang around in the sun since it's quiet shadowy on the patio of the rooms. We ate at the restaurant the first evening we arrived - food was alright but afterwards we opted for the places around. They offered breakfast, it was good. The manager arranged a jeep safari for us together with another couple - that was awesome.

Lovely place to stay, big comfy bed and pillows, clean, good shower, great swimming pool our 9 yr old particularly liked, smooth and efficient help organising elephant safari, village tour etc and transport to leave. Food and drinks in restaurant- big tick too. Friendly. Tea making facilities in room. Set back from main strip, tucked away in peace and quiet but only a short walk to village restaurants and bars.

ItalyWe liked everything, starting from the very kind staff who made themselves available for any request, they are all really nice! The food is great and the room is clean. The atmosphere you breathe is one of pure relaxation and the location is excellent. We reached the fortress by foot (about 15 minutes) and along the way there were many bars and kiosks. I recommend a stay here.
