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.).

FranceNicely decorated rooms with a beautiful view. Bed was comfy and the room spacious. Breakfast and diner were delicious and served on the rooftop terrace. The hosts were really friendly, organised Tuktuk, helped with last minute train tickets and he even drove us to Nuwara Eliya. The best ride we had in Sri Lanka.

United KingdomWe loved our 3 night stay. The property is beautifully designed and set in a quiet location approx 3km from Kandy Lake. We liked that we were outside of the city centre, which is busy, but only 10-15 minutes away by tuk tuk (400-500 rps). Our room was clean and comfortable with good working air con and a ceiling fan. Heshan is a great host and a pleasure to speak with. He kindly dropped us in town one evening for free and also rented us a well kept scooter and two clean helmets. The breakfast is very nice and served on a wonderful rooftop. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner one evening. Ruben is a great chef. We will stay again when next in Kandy. Thank you Heshan and family.

The breakfast was good on the rooftop (awesome view), the room was spacious and perfectly clean, the location was good as it was not in the polluted loud city center (you don't want to stay there). Value for money is very good. We would book it again, certainly. Recommend to everyone who is visiting Kandy and wants a high quality stay with good service.

Fantastic hosts that will make you feel at home immediately! Heshan and his wife will take any opportunity to assist you whenever they can without being pushy. The room is very cleanand comfortable with a good bed and shower. A superb breakfast is served on the rooftop with a beautiful view of the surrounding nature. Last but not least, it’s a very quiet environment compared to the busy city center. But by TukTuk it’s a 10’ ride and can be easily arranged by the owners or use the PickMe app.

BelgiumRemli Villa is a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious and neat, with a kitchenette attached. The wifi works perfectly. The house is in a quiet neighbourhood which made us, with our 9-year-old son, feel completely safe. Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace, with a great view. We stayed there for three nights, breakfast was a little different three times and delicious every time! We also ate there once in the evening, which was also amazing. Heshan and Yani were always there for us with a smile! Heshan suggested a few times to pick us up for free. He also arranged for our laundry to be done. He is a good storyteller and knows a lot about the culture and history of Sri Lanka and Kandy. Remli Villa comes highly recommended! We would definitely stay here again if we went back to Kandy.

RomaniaNestled in a serene neighborhood, our recent stay was nothing short of delightful. Situated in a peaceful area, the property boasts convenient access to PickMe services, making transportation a breeze. The room itself was spacious, immaculate, and thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities one could desire. From the comfortable bedding to the well-appointed furnishings, every detail was carefully curated to ensure a comfortable stay. One of the highlights of our experience was undoubtedly the breathtaking view from the terrace, offering panoramic vistas of the majestic mountains and lush greenery. It provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and unwinding after a day of exploration. Moreover, our hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. They graciously prepared delicious breakfasts for us each morning, setting the tone for the day ahead. Additionally, they went above and beyond to assist us with transportation arrangements to Colombo, providing accurate information and ensuring a seamless journey. Their hospitality extended beyond mere logistics; they willingly offered insights into exploring the city and even can arrange a personalized tour to Sigiriya and Dambula.
