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.).

Best staying I had not only in Sri Lanka but in general. It’s a very spacious and beautiful home stay, with amazing views in the mountains. Definitely recommend it if you want to stay in Kandy. The owners are one of the most helpful and hospitable people I have met. Very nice local breakfast as well!!

LuxembourgThe location is beautiful and calm, not far away from the center, you can go by foot or take a tuk tuk. The hosts were really nice and friendly. The owner gave us some advices what we can see and visit, also he recommended a good place to eat. The place is really nice with a beautiful view on the valley. The room was very spacious, clean with a nice bathroom. The hosts prepare also a good srilankan breakfast for you. We enjoyed our stay here a lot.

United KingdomBathroom was a bit dated with a loose tap. Our bedroom didn't have a balcony but did open out to the garden. Scenary was lovely with birdsong but felt a little remote. Would have been nice to have tea and coffee in the room but they were always around to make it for you so not really an issue. Narrow roads to get to property and a long staircase to get to the house.
Lovely couple who generated a friendly atmosphere with them and other guests. House was enormous and impressive. Breakfast was very good. Fun watching monkeys and birds on the electricity wires outside. The couple insisted on giving me a nice herbal drink for a slight cold (and it helped!). Lots of good advice so, especially for solo travellers this would be a good place to stay. Walk to nearby (very small) village was only 15 minutes but you would need a tuk tuk to get to town for restaurants and banks and sights. Tuk tuks were plentiful and cost was around £2-3.

FranceMaybe a bit fat from city center (25 min by walk on the way down... Tuk Tuk required on way up but very cheap so no worries) No aircon but a big fan was operating in the room... Far enough to me.
The most beautiful house of my stay in Sri Lanka... The room was clean and spacious, in a very quiet environment. You really feel like you're part of the family and you can easily gather and talk with the owners.
