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 KingdomMy room (2) was very comfortable but very dark with very little natuaral light
What a great place. Staff were excellent, The grounds are so well kept. The private beach is amazing and you have your own attendant. Very colonial by design and a real boutique experience. Food was also amazing, really varied and top quality at reasonable prices . Nice touches in the room with Nespresso maker and the wonderful anti mosquito lotion. The outside seating area they give you a bell to ring if you need anything. The one special treat is the 4 o'clock afternoon tea that is included. Very British

NetherlandsThe warm water supply (shower) seemed to be limited.
We loved our stay here. Everything is arranged for in detail. The location is beautiful, super spacious and calm. Relaxing at the pool was amazing and it is super close to the beach (a quiet part), where there are also some beach chairs, towels and drinking water. We had a little porch attached to our room which we also loved. The food was really good as well.

AustraliaOur 2 bedroom villa with private swimming pool wasn’t very private as staff kept walking through. A little too attentive… however, the pool and villa was very nice 😊
The location was perfect, a short walk across the railway track to the long sandy beach. The small boutique hotel was very homey, comfortable and stylish.

GermanyThe place is fantastic. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and big, the only issue was that it was a bit tricky to keep the window open since there was no mosquito net. Regarding the food, we had the most amazing Sri Lankan breakfast at Rock Villa.

United KingdomNothing at all.
This is without doubt the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The bed was so comfy and the manager upgraded us free of charge to a superb suite which was immaculate. Everything was high quality even the complimentary shampoo and conditioner was wonderful! The staff were so attentive but discreet and little touches like homemade popsicles were on offer at the beachfront when we finished our 2 hour walk along the beach. All the food was utterly delicious and the settling after dark was almost more beautiful than by day that we had to pinch ourselves that it was real!! It was my birthday during our stay and they made a delicious birthday cake free of charge which was such a lovely touch. We loved the settling and although you have to cross over the railway line and walk through immaculate mangroves to get to the beach it was rather pleasant to do so and hearing the train go past occasionally was not unpleasant nor was the call to prayer from the temple nearby. Neither woke us up during our sleep. Even when we were leaving and I had left a charger in the room they were right there ensuring I had it before driving off. We will definitely return to this little bit of heaven and thank Anjana the manager so much for giving me a birthday I will never forget.

United StatesWe went to bed early and were woken up at 11:30 by fireworks and loud music from the next door property. The night manager promised the music would end by midnight, but it continued until 1:20am. It turned out that the next door property is an event venue, hosting multiple weddings each month. Staff were well aware of the issue, but failed to give us any prior warning. The hotel advertises itself as an oasis of peace and tranquility, but that was far from our experience. Staff were apologetic after the fact, but are powerless to prevent the noise at night. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.
Lovely grounds, good food.
