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.).

SwedenBathrooms were pretty far from the room I was staying in. Despite having services nearby, Kandy’s attractions are somewhat far (but still largely walkable).
Air conditioning, good Wifi, good breakfast. Nothing to complain really. Nearby there are a lot of services.

NetherlandsA bit far from the center. It is possible to walk, but the road is very busy and chaotic. Also, not a very sociable hostel. At least when we stayed here, we barely saw any other guests.
The bathroom was amazing. Best shower we’ve had in Sri Lanka! Also, very friendly staff who will make sure you are comfortable.

Sri LankaThe washrooms were far from the dormitories. If you had to use it at night you'd have to feel guilty of waking people as you walk through the common shared area. (It wouldn't have been so bad if the doors didn't make so much noise)
I think the location of the hostel was the best thing about it. By car, it was around 7 mins away from the Kandy railway station, 10 mins away from the Temple of the Tooth Relic and the Kandy City Square, as well as a 25 min away from the closest Hanthana view point. Since we were more or less in the heart of the city, we had easy access to popular food outlets as well as local restaurants. The hostel was very clean and comfortable, and it made for a pleasant stay. Bonus points for the beautiful mountain view that could be glimpsed from the garden. Would recommend for a short stay!

PolandBathrooms were dirty and therefore unpleasant to use. We booked this hostel hoping for a lively atmosphere full of fellow backpackers but we were the only guests in the dorm and I haven’t met anyone else during our 2 day stay. If you are looking for a backpacker hostel you know from other parts of the world, this one is not this kind of place.
The guy who showed us around was very nice and he genuinely tried to be helpful as much as possible

GermanyLocation is far away from the city, nothing around it. Single room‘s too pricey for what you get. Also, no social hostel vibe.
