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 ZealandWe liked everything.
The best place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka! We came for 3 nights and stayed for 4! This has been our favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka and we've been in the country for a month and we've been lots of places at the same room price budget. The room was so beautiful to walk in to. It was very spacious with high ceilings and very clean. The bed was large and really comfortable. The best bed we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Clean crisp sheets and bedding. It had air conditioning and a really good fan. We used the air conditioning in the day time, but at night the fan was enough. The room looks out onto a beautiful garden and is private and quiet. There is a balcony with chairs outside where you can relax. The accommodation is close to town, (easy walking distance into town and Lion Rock) There is a restaurant at the accommodation which we also highly recommend. It is rated in the top 3 restaurants for the district. The food was delicious! rated 4.9 on google for reason. Breakfast was great, lunches and dinners are next level. The owners provided transport to the beginning of the Pidurangala climb and to Kandy for a fair price in their neat little car. Also did us a deal to get to Kandy sharing with some other guests for a great price. The family were very kind and helpful. Very nice people to be around. We highly recommend this accommodation. To our hosts, we wish your family success and happiness. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable. We loved staying with you.

PolandSigiri Liya Rest is a wonderful place to stay when you want to explore Sigiriya. It is located in a quiet spot, surrounded by palm trees. It feels very peaceful, but you only need to walk a few steps to be on the main road. 5 minutes away there is good scooter and bike rental. Lion Rock is also in a walking distance. Rooms are clean, they have everything you may need, AC is working well. Our room also had very pleasant terrace where you can sit comfortably and enjoy the nature around. There’s a small restaurant and the food they prepare is very tasty. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious and portions so plentiful that we were full for many hours. But what makes this place really stand out are its owners, whose kindness was incredible. They spent a lot of energy to make us feel comfortable and they were always around, ready to help with literally anything. Chathu arranged for us very nice safari in Hurulu Park, wonderful boat ride on a nearby lake in the evening (highly recommended!) and private transport to Negombo at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend this place, it was one of our favorites in Sri Lanka. The kind of place where you can feel the owners are putting their heart into it. Thank you!

United KingdomOne thing to know is the map location on booking.com is incorrect. It took a lot of walking to find it. In the end the address typed into google maps got me there. This needs fixing
It's a jungle location just a few minutes from the village centre. The AC works (rare in SL) and you can sit on the balcony and enjoy the setting.

LithuaniaFirst of all, upon our arrival owner took my passport and was “too busy to fill” customer book for 4 or 5 hours! Up until the evening when we asked him to return my passport for 5th time! This is really not normal and unprofessional, especially when you see that he is walking around, smoking cigarettes and chilling, talking to friends and other customers, didn’t seemed that “busy”. When we entered the room it was dirty!!! Floor full of sand, hair in bathroom and extremely dirty sheets and bed! It was super disgusting! And since we booked the room only for 2 nights we decided to ignore everything and went to sleep. We woke up in the middle of the night from horrible smell of smoke inside of our room! We taught that building was on fire! My husband jumped out of bed and went to check what it was. Somebody was burning rubbish right under our room and all smoke was inside of our room. The worst part was that there were no windows to the other side of the room so we couldn’t let any fresh air in! My husband went to the owner to ask him to do something about it and they didn’t even extinguish it completely, charcoal was still smoking! So we called our driver and left the property at 3AM in the morning!! I highly recommend avoiding this place. I think reviews are fake, because they didn’t seem hospitable or clean or caring about issues.
There were only 2 good things. AC And comfortable bed that we didn’t even sleep in for full night!!

IsraelAt the last day when we had to leave we saw that we lost our key. After looking we asked for a spare key to open the door but they said they don’t have because the last couple forget it too. They helped us and break the window little bit so we can open the window. After it we ask to pay about loosing the key and they said that a new cylinder cost 12,000 rupi and the other couple pay 5,000 (16 dollar) for loosing a key! They said we can pay how much we want but this is the price. We paid the same amount but after it we discover that duplicate a key cost just 1,000 rupi. We talked to them that they had 3 rooms and they could put us in different room till they duplicate the one key. They didn’t give us the 5,000 rupi back after we said we want to pay less. 5,000 rupi is the price for two night sleep there. Moreover, we had included breakfast, we ordered the meal in the first day and asked for an avocado toast after it we told them that it is include in the price we paid. They said that usually they don’t give a breakfast like this and just toast, butter and jam. We apologise and they said it is okay this morning… the next day we got the basic breakfast and when we came to pay they charge us on the avocado and the other staff we got. I would prefer to be told from the beginning that I need to pay more rather to discover it at the end after they said that everything was alright.
