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.).

Our kandy stay was quite good, the rain didn't stop us having a good look around. Our host and his mother were great.They really looked after us.There is a shortcut walk down to the centre, that we used .Makes it really good access..Breakfast was really ample, and a mix of western and sri lankan. Kandy is quite impressive, a lot to do.

GermanyThe hosts are really hosts that make you feel safe and comfortable. I liked the stay so much. We are traveling since months through sri lanka and this was by far the most honestly caring space. I am very thankful for this experience. Usually i dont do reviews, but for this house i have to make an exception, since i really value our time at the BRICK HOUSE.

SpainNIce and big room on the first floor. Very nice hosts and lovely breakfast. The guesthouse is located above Kandy's viewpoint, so it's a bit far from the main city (which is nice but also it's uuuupp the hill). Lovely stay.

United KingdomThe Brick House Kandy is the perfect stay for backpackers who want more than the usual dorms/ hostels. It is situated 10mins walk up from the city centre. It is a large room with connected ensuite (steps up to it). There is a small terrace area out front where we enjoyed watching the rain. Due to the monsoons, there is a slight musty smell , but it is mitigated by opening windows and airing the room out. Best of all is the host who kindly made us teas and coffees every day to sit on the terrace and relax. She gave us lovely vanilla set yoghurts and also gave us the contact details of Aja, a sweet tuk tuk man who took us around the city on half day tours. I would definitely recommend staying here!

United StatesWith the rainfall, the room smells very musty and it doesn’t go away. I feel like this should be disclosed when booking the room.
For the price the property offers everything you would need. The owner is very helpful and kind.

IrelandThe location is good, close to some restaurants and a short walk to the lake with views of Kandy by day or night. Our room was right next to a balcony for morning coffee and tea with birds and local wildlife. But the landlady was really wonderful and friendly who made sure that our stay was as comfortable as possible.
