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.).

GermanyNothing, everything was great.
Selyna was a very nice and friendly host and her accommodation was very clean and beautiful with a nice view from the hill. Still it was close to the city centre (reachable by foot).

RomaniaEverything was very nice!
The house is in an amazing area, on top of a hill, in a very quiet area. The atmosphere there is amazing, Selyna is one of the best hosts I ever encountered. She is calm and very friendly. The room was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The breakfast with a view made our day. I am kind of afraid of dogs and I found here Ollie, the most playful and cute dog ever. I’m saying this for future guests who are terrified by the Sri Lankan stray dogs. Ollie is a house dog, with pedigree. He is amazing and you don’t need to be afraid of him. The property is 5-7 min away from the city centre by tuk tuk. I truly recommend staying a bit outside the hustle of the city center as it can be very annoying, crowded and noisy.

HungaryNothing, it is perfect.
Location is amazing in the heart of Kandy, still quite and easily accessible with tuktuk or car. Spectacular view on the city, really comfortable facilities, clean and big room. I think most modern place, where we stayed in Sri Lanka at all. Selyna is really nice and served delicious breakfast to us. We were really sad that we stayed only 1 night, it was a pity. Next time definitely will stay more nights!

United KingdomThe only thing that could have made our stay better was maybe if there was air conditioning, but that is minor and would not stop us from staying again. It was not too hot anyway and there was a fan.
Selyna was a lovely and very welcoming host, she greeted us with fresh juices and her cute dog! She suggested places to visit in the city when we asked for advice. The room was lovely, clean and spacious - we couldn’t have asked for more. The view was amazing and as was the breakfast.

ThailandSelyna is incredibly kind and helpful, and her property is so lovely! The rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the family dog was absolutely adorable. It’s about a 20 minute walk into town, or a short tuktuk ride. I would highly recommend this property for anyone staying in Kandy.
