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.).

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing. Samantha was beautiful and sincere like her property and hospitality.
Samantha is a sincere and attentive host. She was always available to provide us with ideas for activities like a local waterfall where we could bathe, directions to little Adam’s peak and 9 arch bridge. The two latter are a short walk and hike from her accomodation. We travelled with our 4 and 6 year old and the location was a walk or tuk tuk away from the Main Street which has countless restaurants. The location of this property is beautiful. It is on the hill side and surrounded by tropical gardens. We saw squirrels in the trees and butterflies. No issue with insects or mozzies. I didn’t see a single mozzie so it was far more hospitable than my place in Newcastle, Australia. Breakfast exceeded expectations. We chose the Sri Lankan option. The kids loved the meals. We enjoyed Ceylon tea and coffee with cardamom. Food was fresh, local and organic. I highly recommend this accomodation if you are looking for a tropical oasis and enjoy nature walks. It was great to get some exercise in for us and not need to pay for activities given we could enjoy the hikes to 9 arch bridge and little Adam’s Peak. We would not consider staying anywhere else when we return.

GermanyOur stay at Samadhi Nature Resort was a delightful retreat into the serene beauty of Ella. The owner's special blend of black tea, infused with ingredients from her own garden such as cinnamon and ginger, was a delightful treat each morning. The personalized touch added an extra layer of charm to our mornings, making our stay truly unforgettable.

United KingdomI loved my stay at Samadhi; it is set slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Ella town so you have the opportunity to chill to the sounds of nature or you can be in and amongst it in just a 5-10 min walk. The facilities are ample and my bed was very comfortable. The owner and her son went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible and I loved my chats with them - it felt like I was staying in their house in a good way. Finally, the breakfast was exceptional and in all my few weeks travelling around Sri Lanka, it was my favourite. Thank you and I hope to stay with you when I come back to this beautiful country.

United Arab EmiratesIt's a very nice hotel in Ella. We had only a short stay, but it was wonderful. There were super friendly staff. Nice, big rooms. I felt like I’m in a tree house. They showed us the spice garden and explained about local spices. We found refreshment in the cool and shade there after tiring hikes. Beautiful flowers and gardens are memorable.

United KingdomNothing ... Maybe a cushion or two extra for the seats outside .
Just spent 3 nights here The location was really good.. outside the noisy center but easy to walk in and out or take a 2 min tuk.tuk . The room was huge . Two double beds with really good mosquito nets , with a balcony or terrace all around. The view was of the beautiful garden and trees which were occupied by so much wildlife. Loved sitting g on the terrace watching the small squirrels and the giant grey squirrel just next to us. Also had lots of birds including the grey hornbills. The lady owner was so friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were huge ..: bowls of fresh fruit , dahl, jam , hoppers coconut breads , toast .. all delicious . No AC was needed as on top of small hill so lovely evening breeze . Great shower with hot water too. Kettle , hair drier and small fridge in rhe room . .

Sri LankaI got a chance to stay there for one night. I’m glad to be there; the nature and scenery around there made my stay memorable. The place is full of fresh air. In most places I visited, they had tall buildings, but there were no trees or wild life. It's a good concept that they maintain trees underneath the main building. I felt like I was in a tree house. The breakfast is great. Don't miss it!
