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 Arab EmiratesOriginally our place was supposed to have an outdoor tub, but that wasn't working. They've since taken it off their site so that new renters won't be expecting it.
This property was really wonderful. It's funky in a good way with a beautiful pool, places to relax, and delicious food. The location was really great as well as we were in the middle of the jungle listening to the birds all and feeling the peace of nature.

Incredible jungle property. The staff organised a massage and safari, both which we highly recommend, making it really easy for us. Prices of safari were lower than other areas of Sri Lanka. Food was a set menu but was excellent for all meals.

Such a fun, quirky and original place! Sameer the manager was superb and fixed up tours and taxis without hassle so it really added value to our trip. The breakfast and dinner really exceeded expectations - both plentiful and delicious and so nice to be able to have authentic Sri Lankan food. The pool is large and the setting really special. The rooms and 'outdoor' bathrooms are great and being up in the trees was very special.

United KingdomWe had dinner the first night, and unfortunately found it bland and not very tasty. The staff seemed quite keen to let us know they had made it "not-spicy" without checking our preferences first, which was a shame for us as we love spicy food and wanted to enjoy local cuisine, but understand they are likely trying to cater to Western tourists. A shame though as the food, with or without spice, was not very tasty and as a result we chose not to eat there again and tried out some of the local restaurants which we enjoyed. There seems to be an expectation from hotel staff that you will eat at the hotel for all meals as they were frequently texting us to check in to see if we were eating there or not - so it may be worth letting them know what you plan to do in advance if you wish to explore other places. We love to try it all so would rarely eat at the same place regardless.
The rooms are lovely - a true escape and like sleeping in the jungle! It was tranquil and serene, and other than the animals at night (to be expected!) the area was so quiet and relaxing. The pool offered a great opportunity to cool off from the hot day, and the local town is only an 8 minute walk away or a short tuk tuk ride. A great base for exploring and close to Sigirya / national parks. We enjoyed a massage locally which at $35+ per head was quite pricey for Sri Lanka we enjoyed the experience and would recommend. A good breakfast is available too.

NetherlandsFor those of us that are afraid of all kinds of little critters, this place is nerve wrecking. 🤭 I didn't really think it through on beforehand, but when we entered the room, it became clear: little bugs everywhere. A couple of big cockroaches and biggg spiders on the ceiling where the most disturbing to me. Luckily there are mosquito nets provided, so sleeping felt safe! The room didn't look too clean, but the staff cleaned it right away after we asked for it and gave us a big spray can of Raid to eliminate the cockroaches. Very happy with how they solved it, just decided that these kinds of stays are not the most suitable for me! For the more adventurous: please go, you won't regret it!
The tree houses are hopelessly romantic, super cozy and very photogenic. We loved the pool, our 4yo daughter played in it for hours, very clean and beautiful surrounding. The tree houses have enough privacy and are situated in a beautiful tropical garden. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, just as dinner!

FranceCan't tel as the experience was all good!
A beautiful, intimate, quiet and green place where you ll find your true "jungle vibe", very good quality food (breakfast yummi! and as we love quite spicy they even got our dinner "spiced up" on request) and very helpful and friendly personel. The little attentions with great impact: a welcome tea with delicious ginger cookies at the pool! We enjoyed our family tree house for the five of us very much.

United KingdomThere was some maintenance going on around the pool while we were there, but I guess it needs to be done from time to time.
We were made to feel welcome on arrival. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and our room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was a little open to the elements and the shower might not be to everyone's taste as it had the potential for creepy crawlies but we didn't see any other than a very small lizard.
