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.).

Very quiet and nice hotel. The host was super helpful and helped us organize our trip and transport on very short notice (2-3 hours before starting). Breakfast was plenty and the Freitag platter a highlight. 10-15 minute walk to the city center. Can definitely recommend

United KingdomThe road to the property had no lighting, but a tuk tuk to the main road was very cheap so it wasn’t much of an inconvenience.
Nice big rooms set in a pretty resort. The worker was so helpful in organising us Tuk Tuks and he also organised us a taxi at 4:30am for the sunrise hike at Pidurangala.

RussiaI like the place very much. Its location allows to visit the Cave temple on foot, also it's close to bus station and food market, but at the same time you don't hear the noise of cars. The owner was really nice, the price is more than available. You also have some welcome shampoo, shower gel and even hair dryer.

SlovakiaNice place with a small garden and cute little terrace. The host was speaking fluent english and helped us with booking a safaritrip and a private driver (both trips were with drivers who speak very basic english). Breakfast included a lot of breakfast, we used laundry service which they offer.

TurkeyThere were 3 shower handsets in the bathroom.I couldn't figure out which one is the correct one for hot water, pressure of the water was unfortunately not enough. But 1-2 day stays , this hotel is a perfect choice if you want to visit Dambulla and around
The hotel is just 5 minutes walk from Dambulla city center. You can even consider walking to Dambulla Cave Temples area , it took me 30 minutes from the hotel to the Temple Entrance. Sigiriya is just 30 minutes by bus , Polonnaruwa ruins is just 1.5 hours by bus from Dambulla centre. Even though it is close to the city centre, the property is in a forest full of tropical birds, fabulous. The room was spacious and clean. Definetely , good value for your money.

NetherlandsThe staff is very nice and helpfull, when i was walking from the busstop to the hotel a tuktuk driver asked me where i was going. I thought it was just another tuktuk driver that wanted to give me a ride but i said i didnt need it. Then he made it clear he is actually also the "main" tuktuk driver for the resort and he will bring me for free because the road to the hotel was a bit flooded because of the rain. When we got there he actually didnt want any money. Also the other staff was very helpfull, they once dropped me off in town because they were going anyway and when i had troubles with the lock of my door they called someone and it got fixed in a couple minutes. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is clean and the beds are comfortable. The location is a little bit out of the centre so it is very calm and peacefull. It is a 10 minute walk to the main road which is definitely walkable, but because of the rainy days during my stay the road was a bit muddy.
