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 StatesThis place is so cute and cozy! The room has a covered outdoor area with lots of plants. The room itself is very cozy and decorated very nicely to make everything feel like home. The shower was neat like you're in a cave, but you have the option of hot water which was so nice. It is family owned and they were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. I 100% recommend this place and will stay again next time I'm in town.

UkraineIt’s pretty much the best place we stayed in for the last week of travelling in Sri Lanka. You pay reasonable price, but you get the highest service! The place owner met us with fresh juice, cookies and fruits! And not only the people, but also our room itself was really good, cozy, and .. themed ! I don’t want to spoil the rest, but you will be pleasantly surprised!

United KingdomRoom did get a little hot but good fan above the bed
Easily one of the best homestays during our whole trip to Sri Lanka and definitely the best room. It was designed really uniquely and we loved it. Host is very friendly and helpful, also cooks good food in his restaurant! Easy to get to Ambuluwawa tower, and when we got back the most amazing breakfast was waiting for us.

United KingdomThe rooms are nicely designed, clean and comfortable. No air con but the fan above the bed worked well. The owner, Dulip, is a lovely person and great host. Him and his wife were very friendly. The food is also tasty. Dulip arranged a tuk tuk tour of Ambuluwawa Tower which was perfect as we were the first ones at the top of the tower when the gates opened at 7:45am.

AustraliaThis was a great place to stay, about 15/20mins to the Ambuluwawa tower via tuk tuk. The host was welcoming and able to help us with everything we needed. Including making me a special tea as I had a sore throat. The breakfast was incredible and delicious. The room didn’t have an aircon, however we didn’t feel we needed it as there was a fan.

ItalyWe stayed at Pinchi's last month and the owner was an excellent host, together with his wife and family ! My boyfriend was sick and he assisted us, even organised us to see a local doctor and brought us there ! Home cooked dinner and breakfast with a variety of choices ! The vegetable soup was exactly what we needed before bedtime !! Honestly thank you so much for being so kind with us and also checking on us throughout our trip and even when we got back home !! Ayubowan :)) P.S. really perfect location if you are planning to visit Ambuluwawa tower (like we did on the next morning).

IndiaThere should have been one window in the room and a clothing rack.
The property is owners own house and taken care by himself. The rooms are pretty clean with all the facilities required. The owner takes care of everything and he is available anytime you need any assistance. We were given welcome drinks, a nice breakfast with tea. The restaurant ambience was very chilling. Everything about this property gives you a feeling of being in nature and surrounded by nature.

PolandWonderful place! Every element of space was made by the owner in eco-friendly style. Very tasty products and an extremely huge breakfast and dinner. The owner included our vegan diet and prepared meals especially for us. Perfect location! The owner dropped us at the bus station too. He is really nice and friendly - It was was a pleasure to talk to him. There is no AC, but it's not a problem in the night - the fan is enough to sleep well. Bed is comfortable, room is clean and you have your own space outside to spend nice evening. We recommend the place.

What’s not to like about this place.. The owner was the most kind, caring and considerate gentleman we have met in Sri Lanka. Breakfast which was included was a feast in itself and even had tea and sandwiches in the afternoon which was a lovely gesture..The owners wife even washed our clothes for us for a very small fee for which we are grateful for. Owner arranged a tuk tuk for us to get up to the local tower.. everything is re and upcycled in the rooms and has a great outdoor covered patio area to sit in ..we would highly recommend and thank you so much for our 2 night quick stay
