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.).

A very good stay. When we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed very kindly. Very kind staff. Everything was excellent, including the cleanliness of the rooms. We booked a safari from them and it was amazing. The driver is very experienced. He knows all the places where the animals are. We saw many animals, especially leopards. It was a very precious day for us. The next day we got a taxi to Arugambe for a very low price. Thank you for everything.

A great place to go on safari. We got a safari from them. It was very special. The driver who went with us was very good. He did not follow jeeps like others. He moved in a different direction and we saw all the animals including two leopards. The rooms were also very nice and clean.

Comfortable place to stay ready for your safari. Hosts really friendly and delicious cold fruit juices. The safari WOW what an incredible experience. We opted for private full day tour and was so worth it. Includes breakfast and a lovely lunch overlooking the beach. The transportation is a new hilux toyota pick up converted perfect for seeing all the animals. Saje was amazing he really goes above and beyond to ensure you get a full experience. We saw everything that we wanted to see including 7 leopards which was amazing luck. My favourite was the elephants they were right next to the truck ... unreal experience

GermanyThe staff was extremely friendly, nice and helpful. The food in the restaurant was great. My room was clean, the bed comfortable and the roomate (a little cockroach) tolerated 😅 Keep in mind you are in the jungle. There was also a cute deer in the garden. It is a beautiful serene location. The organized safari to Yala National Park was great, our driver was super nice, respectful to the animals and told us facts about them. Also the breakfast in the middle of the park was amazing. Would totally recommend this place!

Everything! This property is great and the owners couldn’t help you more. We did the Safari with them which was excellent too. 55 euro per person for a shared safari from 4am to 12pm which is half a day. We felt we didn’t want more than that and were very happy. Unfortunately no leopard but we did see a sloth bear and lots of other animals. If you come in hot season book an air conditioned room so you will be comfortable. The hot showers were nice too. We booked breakfast and the owners even gave us some food later in the day in lieu of breakfast on the day of the Safari as the Safari includes food. They will also pick you up from the bus stop and drop you off too. Great place to stay!

GermanyA very quiet environment. The staff of the hotel was very good. The rooms were very clean. We got a very amazing safari from them. On the way, two people boarded the bus and they told us many things about the safari. They also announced their prices to us. After that we gave them a number and got off the bus. We did not book a safari from them. But a couple who came with us on the bus had gone on safari with them. We met them today. They are not impressed with their safari. They came back in a very short time but they told us that no justice has been done to them for the money taken. It was not the safari driver who boarded the bus. They keep some commission and give safaris to jeep drivers and are only middlemen. Don't get caught by such people. If you want to go on safari, trust the hotel like us.

United KingdomBecause you are immersed in nature, just expect bugs and lizards Bit out of the way if you don’t have a vehicle(we already rented a Tuktuk then so this may be a concern for those who don’t have transport sorted)
Value for money Food was exceptional The hospitality was unmatched - welcomed us with open arms and gave us fresh coconuts from their tree Great experience sleeping in the tree house Mosquito net provided (there were some bugs to fend off first - just to let the faint of heart know in advance and what to expect) Fans were useful Loads of parking space Amazing view of the rock Owner Provided loads of helpful info
