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.).

GermanyVery nice, clean and comfortable private guest house within a tropical garden and with a large swimming pool. The guest house has just 3 rooms and each has it’s own terrace with chairs and sun loungers. The guest house is very calm, no traffic noice, just birds and squirrels :-) Very good and rich breakfast. The hotel manager is extremely helpful and provides a lot of information. He speaks very well English. He rented us his scooter for low money, so that we could drive to the beach and town within a few minutes. The beaches are beautiful and clean, with some restaurants and bars. There a many nice restaurants directly at the train station close to the beach Picknick area. You have to cross the tracks to enter the restaurants.

NetherlandsManjula is a great host!!! Very friendly and caring. The room is very clean, with a good bed and shower. The green lush garden is perfect to chill or watching birds. It has a very big pool. You have lots of privacy. Nice breakfast. There's tuktuk service from and to the villa whenever you want, but a walk to the village is also nice. Would definitely recommend this place!

EstoniaThe fridge was very small and looked old. After the sun went down, mosquitoes were an issue when staying on the terrace. The host provided some repellant but it is still not very effective. I would suggest building an area where there is shade over the pool because when swimming during the day, the sunlight is very intense and can burn pale skin very fast and there was only a very small corner of the pool to escape from direct sunlight. (maybe build a roof over 1/4 of the pool area so you can relax in the water without burning) The pool also sometimes felt a bit too warm because it got direct sunlight the entire day - the roof would also help with that.
The villa was our best stay in Sri-Lanka. The place was very clean and well maintained. The room had most of what you need for a comfortable stay and some other things were provided when asked (kettle, extra dishes, kitchen for heating some leftovers etc) The pool was clean and very refreshing (maybe even too warm at times, from the sunlight) There was a very friendly dog to give pats and belly rubs to on the property. The host were very friendly and provided some interesting fruits and food items to try. Cheap tuk-tuk rides were available from the property to get into the city area. The entire stay was very relaxing and we extended our planned stay for even longer.

Estoniathere is nothing to say
A very beautiful villa, with a well-maintained garden and a very nice and friendly dog. Breakfasts took place outside on the terrace and were prepared only when we sat down at the table. The rooms are comfortable and clean, air-conditioned and with proper mosquito repellent. Very good, big, clean pool The owner of the villa was a good communicator and very friendly and helpful, took us to good restaurants and could recommend tours and tour guides. We felt safe and cared for, it was a pity to leave and we would like to return there. When you arrive in Sri Lanka, drive straight to Villa Siroma in Bentota, no need to waste time in Colombo or Negombo. The owner of the villa will organize transportation for you if you only know how to ask.

United KingdomEverything! The villa is absolutely stunning. Designed and built with a lot of thought and furnished very tastefully. The owner lives in Denmark and you can feel the delicate mix of Scandinavian and Sri Lankan design. The villa is looked after by the owner's brother Mr Manjula who is a lovely and cheerful person and such a joy to chat with, his sister (a very nice lady with a big smile), and their elderly mother. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean, beds and pillows are comfy, and ceiling fans and AC are in each room. The garden is beautiful and the swimming pool is clean. We sat in the afternoon by the pool, with a cup of tea, watching the monkeys and the giant fruit bats feeding in the neighboring trees! Mosquito nets and a plug-in insect repellent kept the bugs away. :) Breakfast is good and coffee/tea is brought to your room upon request. We asked for a Sri Lankan breakfast on the last day and it was homemade and delicious. Town and restaurants are within a short tuk tuk ride (or a long walk if you prefer walking, we couldn't opt for that as our children are 4 and 5 yo). Mr Manjula offered to take us to town in his tuk tuk at a very reasonable price and also suggested good restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay at the villa and would recommend it 100%. It was the best ending to our Sri Lankan holiday! Thank you.

RussiaWe liked everything. Maybe the only thing that might make one's staying even better would the the option to have dinners (but it was not actually a problem!)
A very nice, spacious, clean room, bathroom, lounge, terrace (actually a whole private floor!). A comfortable bed. A wonderful swimming pool, a lovely garden with birds, squirrels. A very friendly, helpful and reliable host.
