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 place needs a good clean. Floors were dirty, bedding rather stained and questionable bits of hair etc in it. Our room smelt of stale tobacco. No comfortable outdoor seating - there wasn’t even a place for 4 to eat outside. Food was overpriced (priced up in dollars) and very limited choice. What we had was ok but nothing special. The place is a long way from other restaurants. The pool looked a bit green none of us fancied risking a swim. !
Very close to the park. Nice host / manager.

United Kingdomwe stayed here for 2 nights and it was 2 nights too many. first of all, when we got here we discovered that despite upgrading our room to 2 beds many months ago, we were told they didn’t have any 2 bed rooms. the room had one tiny window facing a wall so there was no natural light. the room doesn’t look like the pictures, the walls are very dirty, we were given half a roll of toilet paper which had clearly been used. but it gets worse… as we were waiting to be picked up for a safari, we were informed by another guest that after their safari they had returned to their room to discover that their money had been stolen by two of the workers. when we checked out and paid, we asked for our change and they laughed at us even though it was nearly 1000lkr change.
the pool was very nice and it was close to the national park and elephant transit home.

Sri LankaNothing in particular.
Situated right along the Udawalawe main road, this hotel is very easily accessible and provides ample space for parking as well. The room included all the essential facilities and had easy access to the pool. They have a nice swimming pool that was clean and well-maintained. The food was tasty and plentiful. The highlight of the stay was the Udawalawe Safari, which was included in the package we took. Overall it was a stay well-worth for the amount we spent.

United KingdomThe hotel was not as expected - everything seemed quite run down and shabby. One of the bedside lights in my room wasn’t working, the bathroom seemed like it needed a good deep clean and there was only one tiny window in the corner of the room so it felt very gloomy. The pool area is also very run down and not as the pictures show. There was also a building site opposite that was very noisy.
The owner was really helpful and always contactable on WhatsApp. The staff at the hotel had quite poor English so it was good he was so contactable. He also helped organise a good safari too.

Sri LankaNeed staff as it was just the manager running the show, from checking in guests, cleaning rooms & cooking so we had to stay for some time to check in, also door locks need to be changed it didn’t work well. We also had to request for a room change since washroom lock was broken. Also there was a family restaurant that didn’t serve lunch or dinner also drinking water wasn’t available in restaurant where there was a water dispenser with no water bottle. Didn’t get a welcome drink but disappointed to say the owner was on site on our first day and had some of his friends that visited for a swim I guess who was served with a welcome drink. We just got 4 * 500ml water bottles for a 2 night stay at the hotel which is funny, I’m not saying the property is not good but need to improve in certain areas when it comes to the industry of hospitality. Definitely will visit again, expecting better improvements next time.
The beds were comfortable. The pool was nice and clean. The manager Mr. Nishantha did his best to make our stay a pleasant one. Big thanks to Mr. Nishantha for the super breakfast and everything.
