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.).

SpainNothing at all.
Even though we only stayed at Mount Haven for one night we absolutely loved it. The room was massive and sparkling clean with views over the town in every direction. The couple in charge of the house are absolutely lovely and they even wraped our breakfast for our early check out and the train journey. We absolutely recommend it

GermanyThe homestay is not very close to the city center which we actually preferred due to the amazing view over Kandy and the quite neighbourhood away from the loud and busy city. The hosts are one of the kindest and welcoming people we have met so far and we felt comfortable right from the very start. The rooms are tidy and clean (spotless) and the breakfast was also really good The owners even organized a tuk tuk driver for us who's a friend of the family. We went with him from Kandy to Sigiriyah and made plenty stops on the way (spice garden, cave tempels Dambulla). He was always very friendly, polite and we felt very safe driving with him. Also he told us so many interesting facts about the country and it's culture.

AustriaVery helpful and dedicated host. Breakfast was international with fruits from the garden, thats very tasty. Once they cooked a typical sri lanka dinner for us, that was very delicous. The host gave us every day important informations and helped us with the planning. Thank you for everything and a great time :) Greeting form Austria! M&V Ayubowan

BelgiumAs Kandy can reach very high temperatures, the fan in the room was sometimes not enough to cool down. Airconditioning would be a nice extra!
We loved our stay at Mount Haven! Two super friendly owners who are ready for you every minute of the day. The first morning we were leaving for an early excursion, but they did not hesitate to make us a breakfast to go at 5AM. The second day we had a full, delicious breakfast in their home and had a lovely conversation with the hosts! The room was spacious and clean, filtered water was provided, as well as towels for showering! For sure a place were you feel at home, such a lovely atmosphere to escape from busy Kandy! Extra plus points for their cute dog Bella!

EgyptThe place is very nice, super clean and the rooms are bigger than expected! The hosts are super nice and very friendly and helped us with everything we needed! I would definitely recommend staying there! It is not directly in the city centre but very close, and we liked to be off the chaotic city centre as it was really quiet at Mount Haven!

GermanyThe property is located outside of busy Kandy on a hill. The views are incredible. The stay itself is really beautiful- with a nice garden. The hosts are very nice, they give really helpful tips and have a lovely dog too. They helped us a lot organizing our train ride and what else there is to explore in Sri Lanka. It’s easy to walk to Kandy or get a tuktuk. We would definitely come back again. And I highly recommend this stay

The room was very clean and comfy! The location is the perfect spot to escape the city noises! The breakfast (each day a different typical Sri Lankan breakfast dish) was fantastic and we loved sitting together with our hosts talking and getting to know them. In addition, they had many helpful recommendations for good food, activities and drivers. They really helped planning our trip :-)

Sri LankaThe location is perfect if you want to be a little outside of the city with a nice view and calm environment. The hosts were really nice and open, cultured people! We felt that they were actually concerned about our journey and not about making money from us. Felt a bit like being at your grandparent's home :) Unfortunately we were a bit too spontaneous in our plans and left very early in the morning so could not try the breakfast.

GermanyPerfect stay at Dr. Nimals & Lankas lovely home. During my days there I felt like being part of the family and the hosts supported in every way. Located on a calm hillside in the middle of the green in Kandy, only a 20 minutes walk from the city center. Breakfast was delicious, WiFi very good, rooms super clean and big with everything you need. If you plan a daytrip with a tuktuk please ask for Lalith (a friend of the family) who is a excellent driver, speaking very good English and able to show you the most beautiful local places. Thanks for having me as a guest!!! I will come back :-)
