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.).

SpainThe host asked me 2 days before my arrival if I wanted to book the safari with them for $60. I confirmed this so I didnt arrange anything on my own. When I checked in the hotel (7pm, which is kind of late for Sri Lanka), they informed me that in the end there was no safari booked as it was low season and they could not find any jeeps available for sharing. They told me I may need to go privately which was significantly more expensive. I declined this and complaint, however said I would not book something private with them. Without them knowing, I contacted someone else online that offered me the whole safari shared for $100, so there were clearly spots available. An hour later, the hotel did contact me to let me know the safari had now been arranged as previously agreed - I ended up going with them as it was cheaper. The safari was good, and the room was excellent, but the way they handled my safari reservation was poor (and dodgy)
The room was big, both beds had mosquito nets and were comfortable. The room was hot but the ventilator kept the room at good temperature. The toilet was also good. The area was calm and quiet. Really good price-quality

SloveniaThe water pressure in the shower with the heater was so low that we had to use the "old" shower with cold water only, but in the heat outside that was not really a problem. The internet connection could also benefit from increased speed...
The stuff was really friendly and helpful and the room was very nice although a bit smaller. The lobby and other facilities were also very comfy and clean. We really enjoyed our short stay and can recommend it to others.

AustraliaGreat friendly hotel. The manager is fantastic and will go out of his way to help you. The rooms are spotlessly clean (as is the hotel) and it is located in a quiet location 5 minutes walk from town. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again. Additionally the safari we organised through the hotel with Pasanna was fantastic - the early morning start was totally worth it and we were first through the gate when the park opened. Pasanna was highly knowledgeable with fantastic 4wd skills and enabled us to see a great selection of animals (we even saw 2 leopards which I hear is rare, 3 different families of elephants all with babies, as well most of the other animals that are in the park). We chose a full day safari (every jeep spends 12-2 having lunch and resting…bring a book) - which enabled us to be a bit more relaxed and made the whole day super enjoyable! Highly recommend this safari!

After the safari he prepared lunch for us and showed us how to cook an eggplant curry in a simple way. It was delicious and cheap as well! He helped us to get to the bus station and explained in a really good way how to get to our next destination. Thanks you for your help and your kindness He is a great host! I will come back again

RussiaI can’t fully recommend the safari with this hotel though. The driver/guide was super nice and punctual, stopped to show us various animals on the way. But it was uncomfortable to ride his jeep in the front seat in the rain. The roof was leaking and all cold water poured on my feet. The driver tried to fix the problem, but to no avail. I sat the entire safari with wet and cold feet. I had a raincoat, but it didn’t help as the water poured right on my feet. Unfortunately, there were no other seats available in other rows as the car had 4 other stranger people sitting in middle and back rows who also booked the safari (the car is a 6-seater Bolero, 3 rows of seats). So I think the safari with this hotel is good on a sunny day, but if it’s raining - be ready to seat with wet and cold feet for the entire safari.
Nice host, quiet location, clean room, air con, hot water (though the pressure is quite low). The host made a delicious vegetarian dinner for 900 lkr.

United KingdomThe host was very attentive and made sure we were happy throughout our stay. He also helped us arrange a safari to Yala which we both really enjoyed and gave us some good advice about the local buses. The setting was lovely from the garden to the rice fields opposite. We were both very happy with the room and the bathroom was spacious. Another positive was the short walk to the local restaurants.

RussiaThe breakfast was small and not delicious (several fruits, local bread, water). It was rainy time and were roof leaks above the bed. The double bed was small.
The hotel is near the Tissa center, cafe, local reservoir and temple. Host could organize safari. There is parking place and garden.

PortugalI think that the comunication between the owner and Mr Nihal should be better. It seems that the information doesn't arrive to Mr Nihal. He didn't know about some things that we reserved for the rooms or even that we had breakfast (what was ok...). We asked for some sheeds cause the beds had only blankets and, cause we didn't pay AC (it was not in Booking that option even) it was very hot, but they told us that they had only 3 sheeds but I found the place where they keep it and they had 100! So, I picked 1 for each person.
Travelling with a group, for work, and the hotel seems ok. The rooms were ok, very clean. The locattion it is ok, near city center. Mr Nihal, the person in charge (not the owner) was very nice and polite. The dinner was very tasty.
