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.).

RussiaVery friendly manager, room was good and clean, with an access to the terrace. Do not miss free bicycles available! (they are comfortable, we tried:) NB: we had late check-in and tried to go by foot from the bus station, but met a group of barking dogs on the short path suggested by Google Maps, so I would advise to order tuk tuk if you arrive at night despite the hotel is so close to station :)

United KingdomI really enjoyed my two-night stay here. It was the most comfortable room of the trip thus far. I also made use of the bicycles which they make available at no cost to tour the ancient sites and see some of the lovely area around Anuradhapura. They also let me use the washing machine, which was very helpful. There’s a very good restaurant and coffee shop across the road. The staff were charming.

CanadaPerfect location for accessing the old Anuradhapura sites. There were free bikes that worked great and it was easy to get to the sites with them. Our hosts were very kind and helpful, and attended to any needs we had right away. There was also free drinking water available and this was a great touch. Thank you!

New ZealandI think it was just one off thing but some guests were noisy a bit in that night. Other than that everything was fantastic. Again it’s nothing to do with the place but perhaps how to manage those situations. Thanks
Place was clean and comfortable. Staff was amazing and dinner was great too. Very helpful and friendly staff and they organised a tuk tuk for me to go to Jayasri maha Bodiya as well at a reasonable cost.

This hotel has high cost-perfomance included thier hospitality and kindness. The biggest obstacle in my trip to Sri Lanka was transportation, but they told me the order to the hotel before arrival. Room is beautiful, hot There is no problem with the water pressure of the shower, and the hot water is solid. meal is also nice. We rented a bicycle and toured the temples of Anuradhapura. Finally,he consulted us about the next itinery and helped us get on the bus, which is difficult for travelers. Many thank, Amira-san!!

This is a great place to stay to explore Anaradhnapu. Our room was huge & very clean with a balcony, kettle & tea/coffee. There is a lounge area & kitchen for guests to use & also a washing machine is available for free. Amilla, the host, also has bikes for guest use, again no charge. Great location, easy to cycle around the ancient city & also short walk to town. Great value for money & lovely host.

LithuaniaChairs and the desk in the room are not very well suited for work. The view from the window overlooks the backyard of local neighbours, which is pretty pointless to chill in the balcony. TV worked, but there was no service. Can't use powerful AC full night because it gets too cold.
Amila was very helpful with everything I needed. You can cook, wash your clothes, there is even unlimited drinkable water for you. WiFi is enough to have video meetings. Pretty convenient and cheap take-out 200m away that works late. Free bikes, use them even if they look like falling apart. The experience of biking around the Sacred City will be a nice memory.
