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.).

United Arab Emiratesthere was some kind of a festival nearby with very high music which kept playing until almost midnight. the sound isolation in the room could have made it better.
The Hotel Location by the Lake was great, the View from the Room in the morning was amazing, the hospitality of the staff was heart warming.

Sri LankaBreakfast. There is no eggs for a breakfast is totally amazed us, well there should be a choice for the guests to select. Understandably it might be due to shortage or a price, but we were offered on demand at a cost..! not really nice as we take B/F as our first meal till supper.
Location and friendly staff - specially the person welcome us ( cant remember the name) he is very supportive and helping us. The Chief really cool person and very understanding. Front desk girl too nice to us and she need to be bit trained in guest relations Etc.

We stayed for three nights at the Royal Lake Hotel, and we totally enjoyed our time there. From the first moment, we felt very welcomed as Nalindaa. You can easily walk to Gregory Lake from the hotel. Nalinda made everything perfect as he arranged all of our special wishes and really wanted you to feel comfortable. For example, he promptly organized a scooter for us. The price was even lower than stated in our travel guide. We also had a delicious dinner and breakfast, as well as lunch packages for our trip to Horton Plains.

DenmarkNothing, everything was perfect.
We didn't choose the previous guest's remark. I never thought we would get into such a beautiful hotel in Nuwaraeliya. The welcome and check-in were quick and easy. The welcome from the bellboy to reception was genuine. The room is big and very homely. The lake view and amenities are so good. A large bathroom with hot water is available. The restaurant had a nice view of the lake. We loved it. The Sri Lankan food we had was the best we've had for the last few days in Sri Lanka. Please keep in mind that some menus are a la carte due to a smaller number of people; however, this is generally consistent with the menu. This is a beautiful hotel with well-trained and good staff. We extended our stay by one more day because it was very homely.

SwedenUnfortunately we were not aware of the festival, which takes place every year in April. The noise was incredible and lasted from early afternoon till midnat. The bed was literally shaking in rhythm with the music.
Superb location with great view. They offered payment refund even though we left one day earlier than booked.
