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.).

Beautiful quiet boutique hotel, superbly run and where the customers are the whole point. Perfect spot before our trip home to UK. Then our flight was cancelled so the owner kindly offered us another night and gave us 25% off. I thought this was an amazing gesture. The room was turned around for us very quickly. The rooms themselves are kitted out well, modern and fresh. Our room was super large too. The owner was kind enough to drive me to the airport about 3 times to sort out flights due to Dubai flooding. These guys are real gems.

What a lovely hotel - absolutely perfect place to stopover before our flight back home. Very comfortable and stunning room with an access to a pool. But the best part were the people. We were able to check in early, had a lift to and from a local restaurant and drop off to the airport. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

New ZealandThe hotel is beautifully crafted with lots of lush plants, timber detail and warm touches. The rooms are big and the bathroom is beautiful: the swimming pool is right outside the bedroom and was very refreshing. Breakfast was a mixture of vegetables, meat, fruit and great coffee. It is close to the airport and the pickup was well organised. The room had airconditioning. Overall we had a great stay for our first night in Sri Lanka.

United KingdomThe top floor is still a building site, and elsewhere there are missing light fittings, wires sticking out etc. This has clearly been the case for a few months now.
Nice hotel near the airport, beautiful pool that you can practically jump into from your room, nice staff, comfortable rooms. Set away from the main road so it was a very peaceful place to spend the final night of our trip.

United KingdomA fridge in the room would be nice.
Superb boutique hotel, brand new, beautifully designed, only 6 rooms, very spacious and comfortable-mattress and pillows superb, bathroom like from a spa, great water pressure. Terrace opening to the pool very beautiful. Quiet location, away from the main road and less than 10 min drive to the airport. Menu small but what we had was all of very good quality. Didn't have breakfast as had to leave 6:30 for the airport, although the chef offered to make me one if I wanted to. Complimentary Airport drop off at any time a great bonus. Amazing value for money, would definitely stay again.

United KingdomNothing - thank you so much to the team :)
The staff were amazing and went above and beyond for us! They organised transport from the airport and ensured we were settled. The dinner was lovely and the breakfast was incredible with both a continental and fruit platter included! The rooms are huge and the bed was so comfy - we slept so well after our long flights! The pool was fab and felt quiet and private even though it’s so close to the airport. We were so pleased with our stay and would recommend for anyone who needs to be close to the airport or has just arrived!

United KingdomRestaurant was a bit cavernous and could do with making more inviting. Probably due to the hotel only been open a few months. Not a great menu choice but what I did have was simple but good.
Breakfast ok and a good location near the airport. Would not choose it as a tourist location. Comfortable room and slept well.

IndiaNothing.
We can't say enough about out stay at Spicepeek. A brand new property secluded from the noise off the main street, tucked in the quietness of a green eco-setting. "Boutique" true in every sense of the word. Comfortable, clean, classy rooms designed with a lot of panache. The pool runs alongside all the rooms and be accessed from each room balcony. Breakfast was wholesome and good. We met the owner of the property, a dashing yet unassuming young Sri Lankan gentleman with a vision and passion, who is actively involved in the running and monitoring of all the daily tasks alongside the workforce. Truly commendable. A must stay when you arrive or depart from Sri Lanka. Ideal for a small group celebrating a milestone or an event or even long stay.

Best bed we had in our month long trip in Sri Lanka! The rooms are gorgeous, and so is the pool. Great savoury breakfast and very friendly staff. We stayed two nights and were offered a free ride to Negombo beach the first day and a free airport shuttle the next. Even though close to the airport, it's quiet and we slept wonderfully.

United KingdomWe were flying out the next day and this was the perfect place to stay. Had a lovely pool and the room was huge. The bathroom is decorated very nicely and you can see that they have put effort into making little special touches to the rooms and hotel overall. Wonderful woodwork and plants everywhere. It was tucked away, so you could hear birdsong even though in the city. They even offer a complimentary drop off at the airport - which was very handy. We enjoyed our stay.
