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.).

You can see Lion Rock from the lovely hotel pool. The staff were really friendly, especially the manager, Sanath, who drove us to Nuwara Eliya. The cheapest beer I had in 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and the only hotel that did not charge the annoying 10% 'service charge'. Would highly recommend.

United StatesThere was nothing we did not like, they have their own TukTuk which made going into town a breeze.
The view of Lion Rock from the room balcony is breathtaking. The rooms are very modern comfortable and super clean. All I can say about the staff is WOW, they are incredibly accommodating, warm and caring, we asked if they had King coconuts and they had one of their staff climb a tree and bring enough down to serve all of the guests swimming in the pool.

BelgiumA bit far away from the main road, but still ok. There were no black out curtains, so there is a lot of light in the room in the morning. However, this is not unusual in Sri Lanka..
Everything you need. Spacious room, nice pool. Very friendly staff. They arrange trips and reserved two seats on a shuttle to our next stop Kandy.

United KingdomThe hotel was in a great location if you're looking to go to Lion's Rock (it's a short walk which we did first thing in the morning to make it up for sunrise), also with great views out of your bedroom window. But the best thing about our stay was the staff, everyone was really friendly and attentive. In particular, Sanath went above and beyond to support us, always with kindness and a smile on his face.

RomaniaThere were some cockroaches and spiders (as expected in an area with such lush vegetation), so maybe some insect nets at the windows could help with that.
Nice hotel and staff, it was clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable. A little bit far from the main road, but they offer tuktuk rides at very good prices, so we had no issues with that. The manager arranged for us the safari (with hotel pickup and dropoff) and all the other requests, much appreciated it. Thank you for everything!

United KingdomThis hotel was one of the best experiences we have had. The location with the uninterrupted view of the Sigiriya Rock along with the walk from the main road (10 mins) added to the pleasure, passing the local housing nestled in beautiful lush trees. But the outstanding bonus was the staff at this hotel. Every member of staff were polite, friendly and genuinely concerned for their guests well being. The restaurant provides excellent food cooked by a enthusiastic chef who always comes to chat to you while the serving staff always at hand to ensure you are happy with your meal. Thankyou. Any request is catered for. We were assisted several times with transport to local sights at very reasonable rates. The hotel also arranged for a Tuk tuk to take us to Dambulla. Sanka the driver went over and beyond stopping off at the huge Dambulla produce market and a herb and spice garden. Further reasonably priced taxis transport with extra scenic stops to Kandy were also arranged. Nothing was too much bother.

We arrived at 19:00 and found that the hotel exactly same as on photos (yeah, in some hotels it doesnt work like this 😀) Delicious dinner and breakfast exactly as we expect.
