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.).

GreeceThe place is situated on a mountain, and even with GPS directions, it's challenging to find the right road. Despite this, our room, located on the same level as the reception, was quiet. It's a family-run business, and the people there are friendly and eager to help. The food is delicious, and the terrace offers a gorgeous view.

NetherlandsThe staff was very helpful with information, laundry service and also the tour held by the owner of the place. You can see a lot in a day and get a nice explanation of the different things you can visit. Also helpful if plans change. Got a breakfast to go when we left for the train further south. Really friendly staff and nice people.

GermanyThe budget room was very stuffy. The herbal garden and gem museums are tourist traps, though you might still enjoy the herbal garden.

Amazing view! The staff was really kind and helpful and we felt very welcome. The breakfast was very tasty and there were lots of different options. Would recommend trying the Sri Lankan breakfast. We booked tours on two days which were really nice too. The hotel is close to the city centre but in a quiet area. Would definitely recommend!

United Arab EmiratesThe only downside was that the bathroom was not cleaned well ( hair was found in the sink), hence I am rating this property as 7.
The host / manager was really accommodating and friendly. I only stayed for 1 night and was out discovering Kandy most of the time so literally used the room to take a shower after a long day and sleep. My room had no AC but there was a fan which saved the day. Also the room was on the ground floor so I could not open the windows (as advised by the host) maybe some animals would enter the room. Location is good about 20-30 mins walking from temple of the tooth/ kandy lake but it is situated along a steep slope. Just keep this in mind if you're planning to walk up. Views are magnificent.

AustraliaWe only had intermittently warm water, which wasn't a big problem because the weather was so hot, but sometimes hot water would have been nice.
We had a wonderful time staying at Mount Palace. The staff were very helpful, with delicious meals, advice, and also by putting us in touch with a lovely tuk tuk driver Terrence who drove us all around the area for a day, wherever we wanted to visit, including a stop off at a river for a swim, as requested. (very reasonable price - we recommend you ask for Terrence's details). We found a quiet, steep back lane to get to and fro our accommodation, which was a nice way to avoid cars/tuk tuks, and meet some of the locals. The view over Kandy was great, and we enjoyed the atmosphere of early morning chanting from nearby temples. We also enjoyed meeting and chatting with the other backpackers who visited, whilst enjoying our meals on the wide balcony.
