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.).

New ZealandIt is a bit out of the town (not a problem for us as we had a driver). Not many channels on the television. No aircon or fan. It did get a little hot at night and a fan would have been sufficient to cool.
Beautiful modern property. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The shower was amazing. The breakfast was good. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

FranceThe room was not very well insulated, which was ok as people were going to sleep quite early. We also preferred to arrange transportation on our own as the prices proposed by the hotel were a bit high compared to what you can get
The hotel is well located, close to the main attractions of the city (walking distance) without being in busy streets. The staff was very fiendly. The room was very big and clean. The food for breakfast and dinner was tasty (breakfast was included and you can order in advance for dinner).

SingaporeUnfortunately, the packed lunch was the only food that wasn't very good, but otherwise a very nice stay!
The staff here are extremely friendly and attentive; I felt very comfortable and almost like I was the only guest there (to be honest, I don't think there were many of us). I had a full board package - I had dinner sent up to my room the first night after a long day sight seeing. You have to arrange the times of your meals and select your dinner choices (main and dessert) in advance. I thought the food was excellent and breakfast was quite the show. It is table service, but no menu - they bring you a ton of food! I felt a bit wasteful, but all was delicious. Because I was leaving before lunch to head to my next city, they provided me a packed lunch which was convenient. The room was large with beautiful windows, very comfortable. I had some trouble with the wifi working and a staff member brought me my own router to resolve the issue.

AustriaThe location is a bit outside in a residential area - market, etc. is about 20min walk. The atmosphere is a bit distanced if you want to find something :-)
The room was absolutely stunning and I think the best I had during my travel in Sri Lanka. Spotless clean, huge, modern bath with high standard. I only stayed one night after climbing Adams Peak and could not have asked for more to relax and unwind. The small boutique hotel resembles a villa. Breakfast was good and served to the table (English and Sri Lankan). There are also tables outside which must be nice to sit unfortunately it rained when I was day and it was really too cold to enjoy. Staff was friendly and organised my transfer from Adams Peak to their premises without a problem. Also organised TukTuk transfer to tea factory. As my train was leaving late I could use the room a bit longer and rest on one of the lounge sofas until my pick-up. A very nice and boho style cafe/restaurant is only 1min on foot - really recommend this one!

AustraliaGreat location on hill above town. 10-15 minutes walk into centre or 3 minutes by tuk tuk. Staff were all friendly and helpful, especially the manager who gave great advice on local walks and where to eat and drink. Only 2 minutes walk from the hotel to the fabulous Themparadu restaurant. Seasons Villa and Themparadu both highly recommended.

The location is great in a quiet area but also in walking distance to the city. The staff were really helpful and kind, accommodated all our requests and also gave tips on where to go waterfall-trekking. A really nice and clean room with balcony. Plenty of hot water in the shower.

This hotel is a really good option to stay during your travel through the country. Nuwara Eliya is the place which deserves attention and we were lucky to choose this hotel, so we could get the best possible impression from the city and surroundings. Specious room with good beds (and very quiet in our case). Caring staff. Good food.

I stayed here with my family, an amazing place felt like home away from home, we were treated like a VIP. This villa is about 1.4km from the city centre, walking distance but we had to rely on Tuk Tuk due to rain. The hotel also arranged a Tuk Tuk for our tour, and the driver was reliable, know where to start and end the tour based on the weather. The food at the hotel was also great, with reasonable price. The room/bathroom was huge and clean, we had the balcony. All the staffs were friendly and helped us with just anything we need. Definitely will stay here during the next visit. Nuwara Eliya is an amazing holiday destination, don't miss the waterfalls. it's a must do !

South AfricaFrom the very first interaction with the hotel staff, we received nothing but excellence. Our driver was having trouble finding the place, and with a bus, if was difficult to get up the hill and into the property, all the staff assisted the driver. We were welcomed with lovely hot coffee, as the there were storms on the day we checked in. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable and clean. The breakfast prepared by the chef (that we met) was really good. The staff took care in assisting us with the train schedules and general information for our stay. The young men of the team really made our stay enjoyable.
