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.).

SwitzerlandThe bathroom didn't have a lot of hot water and it was smeeling a bit funny
The hotel is slightly outside the city but it is possible to walk there. It is in the middle of the jungle and you get to wake up with the sounds of animals waking up with the first sun. The host is very nice and available for any question. Great place!

FranceThe breakfast was the only point we didn't like much. I would suggest the owner to improve it. The first time we didn't have fresh juice so I asked about it for the second day, and a little bit bigger plates would be nice. Also there was a powder for coffee but only with hot water it was difficult to mix.
The guest house is in a beautiful and silent location surrounded by jungles and tea plantations. 15 minutes walk from the city where you will.find all cafés and bars. The owner was very nice and friendly. The room was clean, comfortable. The view in the morning is beautiful. On arrival the owner lady proposed to us the tea with cookies that was very sweet of her.

ItalyThe bed was too short. I hit my ankles on the wooden frame several times during the night . Whilst it's close to Ella centre, the approach road isn't really suitable for a car, difficult to turn around. Ok for a tuk tuk
A tree house like structure, jungle alll around, total peace and tranquility. The hosts were super efficient, attentive and made me feel welcome.. the toon was well equipped and breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again

The room wiew is breathtaking, and you can also listen to the nearby animals during your breakfast. Although it's not next to a main road, the walk there from Ella station is 15min and at the end you walk through tea fields.

United Arab Emiratesall was amazing…Perhaps access - couple of ups and downs, stairs and gravel. not ideal for older people or anyone with leg issues or crutches.
Ameli is a delightful host. She is very caring and gives you her best. The house is a little piece of paradise to those more adventurous and nature lovers. Feels like you are living on a tree house. amazing.

Sri LankaBeyond the expectations.... Well-organized room with a bunch of star-class facilities.. queen bed, and a bunk bed allows 4 pax to sleep in peace. The tea center, mini bar, hair drier, sound system, and neatly cleaned bathroom make no worries for you at all. The large window front opens to the garden and the scenic view is my favorite. Family service makes you feel home away from home. The specialty of Pepper Garden is homemade tasty meals with homegrown fruits for dessert. Amali, the owner, manager, and chef, does all duties alone with the help of family members. She looks after us with the utmost care and affection. The pepper garden is still young and growing. Yet only 4 guests can be accommodated on a sharing basis but soon will have more rooms with great harmony with the surrounding.
