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.).

FranceNothing negative to highlight. Just that we’re very sad to leave :)
Our stay at this newly renovated hotel was truly exceptional. Asanka and his team were remarkable - incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive. They prepared delicious, homemade breakfast, lunch and dinner upon request featuring tasty local Sri Lankan dishes and refreshing cocktails. One of the standout features of the hotel was the convenience of renting scooters and bikes directly from the property, as well as easily ordering tuk-tuks. The prices for the beautiful rooms, food, and services were very reasonable. Asanka went above and beyond to customize programs according to our wishes and needs, offering a diverse range of activities. The rooms were spacious and equipped with comfortable beds, ensuring a pleasant stay. The hotel's pool and surrounding area were impeccably maintained and clean. Nestled in a perfect location for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature, the hotel provided a serene retreat where one could truly unwind. The close proximity to animals in the natural surroundings added to the unique experience. A short scooter or tuk-tuk ride allowed us to visit the iconic Lion's Rock in just 20 minutes and access nearby restaurants within 10 minutes. Additionally, the hotel offered a convenient airport transportation service with a friendly and safe driver at very reasonable rates. Last but not least, Asanka and his team also provided valuable insights on must-see sites and enriched our knowledge of Sigiriya and the surrounding nature area. In conclusion, our stay was nothing short of incredible, and I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to all travelers.

We would like to thank the accommodation for the excellent reception. Everything we agreed on actually happened. The pool is clean and the sunbeds are sufficient. The breakfast was excellent. The only minus is the distance from the center (approx. 2 km). It was no problem for the staff to take us away. MANY THANKS AGAIN, WE LOVED YOUR STAY.

PolandThere is a very bad smell of insect repellents inside the rooms. Also, due to the a bit secluded location (which we liked!), there is not many food options in near proximity, so you need to rely on the hotel kitchen. And, sorry to say it, but it’s not good. :( Food quality and its taste is below average (even taking into account Sri Lanka standards), while drinks were just awful. Guys, please don’t try to make cocktails that you don’t know ingredients of - example of caipirinha. Instead, we would appreciate if there was a local cocktail selection, based on local ingredients, not the “western counterfeit”.
Nice pool and very friendly staff! Views from the upper floors, including bar terrace, are marvelous. If you don’t like to use AC all the time, some rooms are equipped with the fan which does the job good. 👍🏻

United KingdomAlthough it was clean, there were a few stains on the walls. Overall, this was easily ignored for great location and helpful staff!
Little bit further out of town, but worth it for the view on the roof top terrace!!! Nice comfortable room. Asanka was very helpful and organised tuk tuk rides for us (even at 5am) and a safari - not that sure how the prices compared locally but it seemed very reasonable and excellent stress free services. Pool was great - large size and shady or sunny spots for relaxing.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaThere were ants in the bathroom, but they disappeared after like 10 minutes. No ammenities in the bathroom. Strong incense scent
We liked our stay at Sigiri Sierra View Resort. The room was spacious, the bathroom also. View ist great, specially from the top floor. The pool was clean, and had offered a nice refresh after a long day. Breakfast was good with toast, eggs, butter, jam, fruits and coffee. The extra smoothie was very tastefull. The locations was ok for us because we had a driver. There is a option to rent a bike also.

SpainThe room that we have booked turned out to be the old ones ( very humid), so we had to pay a small additional charge for an upgrade. New rooms are much better, clean, less humidity and with air conditioner.
The place is beautiful, close to the main turistic spots but away from the crowd. You have breakfast with views on the lion rock. The people are so nice, they prepared the breakfast for us at 5.30 am so we were able to see the sunrise from the lion rock.
