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.).

SwitzerlandWe stayed at Milk House Cottage for one night and can highly recommend it. The owner is very welcoming and leaves nothing to be desired. We had an outstanding dinner in the jungle and a great breakfast as well. We went on a safari early in the morning and the owner got even earlier to make sure everything went smoothly, that we found our way in the dark and didn't oversleep. We will definitely come back the next time we travel Sri Lanka.

United KingdomThere is no hot water, but after hot day you just dream to have a refreshing shower. I even manage to wash my hair with no problem. There is no AC but there is a ventilator which helps.
Let me tell you this: I felt like a queen in a paradise. I was traveling as a single female and my concern was security. I felt absolutely secure since I've met Isuru - lovely young host with his wife and kid. These place is a GEM in Sri Lanka if you are looking for a peaceful place far from crowd surrounded by nature. I was very looked after, breakfast and dinner was delicious freshly prepared by the family. Isuru has a Tuk Tuk so he can help you arrange any travel you need for reasonable price. He also helped me with safari tour (I had the best guide with knowledge) and with the buses, he gave me a lift and stopped the fast bus for me and told a driver where to let me go. His hospitality and kindness was above expectations and that's why I gave a review 10 out of 10. Who cares about decorations inside the cottage when you just want to be outside admiring birds, plants, nature surroundings, etc... and come back to the cottage for a sleep. You have kettle with bottle of water, tea, coffee with cream and sugar there too. There is moscito net in good condition too. But the greatest: you have a cottage for yourself and you the only guest. There is no more cottages so the privacy is immaculate. There is a space for 2 :-D Originally I have a booking for 1 night, but I've extended since I've realised it's a paradise on earth for me. Cleanness 10/10 !!!

This was a fabulous spot!! The owner was a truly delightful guy, nothing was too much trouble at all and he was very kind and accommodating. They made me a special dinner for being gluten free which was lovely and he got up very early to make breakfast for us to take on our Safari!! Was a cute place to stay, room was all you needed with lovely private terrace at the back. A nice quiet spot out the way but conveniently located for Udawalawe national park. Would definitely recommend!

EstoniaThis was a lovely place in a very quiet location next to paddy fields and a gorgeous forest and garden often visited by peacocks, which was truly special. Had my morning coffee observing the wildlife! The cottage is comfortable and the host Izuru is so helpful and kind. He organised a perfect well-priced safari for me with a guide who was very respectful of the animals and took me on the less crowded roads in Udawalawe park, which is what I had asked for. I stayed for two nights so I also had time to explore and walk to the neighbouring village, which was lovely. The hosts cooked great food for both breakfast and dinner and I got to try helapa for the first time too! I loved it there and I highly recommend a stay if you're looking for a peaceful and welcoming location!

PolandAbsolutely amazing! Wehere shell we start? First thing was a verry lovely welcome and he told us to park our Tucktuck under a roof, for it might rain. He offered to organise us a Safari for a really fair price. It was nor a problem that we spontaneously decided to have dinner there. Dinner and breakfast were just amazing! I would go so fare and say it is the best food we had in Sri Lanka so far. His wife and mother are great cooks! We enjoyed the food on our terrace with a awesome view! We were able to see all kind of beautiful birds. It is very quiet and you have a lot of privacy! It is obvious that he has a lot of experience with the hotel industry, everything was just perfect, the room was so clean and everything was taken care of. You probably think this sounds too nice, but truely, come and see yourself, just don't make the mistake we made and only book one night ;) Thanks for such a great stay, Steffi & Simon

The cottage is really nice and quiet, if you're looking to escape the chaos and feel secluded this is it! We would recommend this to anyone. I don't care what anyone says, this is the best curry in sri lanka (homemade by his wife).

We had the best stay at this lovely cottage in the wild Sri Lankan nature. A really nice cottage in the wild with the loveliest hosts. We really liked reconnecting to nature. The bed was great and the food (breakfast, curry) even better. To top it off Isuru booked us a really nice safari (with pick up at the cottage) and we saw a lot of wild animals Would definately recommend this stay!!

GermanyVery nice cottage very close to the national park. Isuru organized everything for us, the pick up, loads of food (that is served at your own balcony) and especially a really nice safari early in the morning with an amazing tour guide. The cottage is really cute, in the middle of the jungle. Would 100% recommend it!

It is super quiet, relaxing and at night we could see fireflies and hundreds of stars. We have stayed at many places around Sri Lanka but this is one of the best!
