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.).

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit disappointing- food cold heaters seemed to have been switched off and food dried up - hot water for tea not hot either, cornflakes very stale, standard of the food could have been a lot better it was also cleared away before the end of service without informing the guests. Table cloths stained and needed washing. Bed sheets old, holes etc needs new bed linen

FranceThe dining area and on the overall a face lift would help! Another drawback was the absence of WiFi in the room: if you want WiFi you have to be near the reception .
The setting and the swimming pool. The room was large enough but with little storage space; no shelves in the closet! The bathroom was roomy but the shower really small.

United KingdomThe between the rooms were very thin and could hear people speaking in the next room. The shower was very difficult to open. Had to keep the shower going for over seven minutes before the water got warm. Then when showering the water went cold after five minutes. No A/C in dining room. Went for dinner at 8 pm and dining area was in the dark. We had to ask for the fans to be switched on. Table service was very poor.
The entrance and reception was beautiful and welcoming. The food buffet was good.

AustraliaFood selection during the breakfast buffet (on the second morning when the hotel wasn’t very busy). Having said this, we requested some items from the kitchen and they were provided.
Staff were extremely nice, the room was really spacious for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids). Great location for a day visit to polonnaruwa.

BelgiumBarmen extremely slow and unprofessional. Food at the buffet always cold and too spicy for European taste, sometimes we also suspected no fresh food. Room clean but oldish that need renovation and matelas to change. shower tub too small and not enough pressure at the shower jet. Rooms are not soundproof and you eat neighbourhood or people passing front of your door as they were in your room.
This is a nice hotel with beautiful garden and swimming pool but needs some rooms renovations.

Sri LankaThe level of the hotel is not so good. It looks like a 3 stars hotel, with cleanliness to be improved. Still ok but a bit expensive for what it is.

There were only 02 single pillows and the bath towels were not available during the checked in.The barman took about 1 & 1/2 hour to report to the duty so that we had to wait till he come to order our foods and drinks.Here this can only give 2/10 rating with compared to the overall quality in Araliya resort and spa at Unawatuna.If it is not about its location with the lake view I will not recommend this hotel Sudu araliya for sure.
