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 KingdomThe Albatross is a stunning property with beautiful, unobstructed views overlooking Victoria Dam. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The food was superb, we enjoyed authentic Sri Lankan dishes for dinner and lighter sandwiches and omelettes for breakfast and lunch - both were 10/10! The chef catered to my vegetarian diet which was highly appreciated. The hosts at the hotel were so kind and accommodating. We felt really well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

UkraineI encountered a few issues that affected my overall experience. Firstly, the limited breakfast options were somewhat disappointing. Additionally, I found the staff to be less than accommodating, which impacted the overall friendliness of the establishment. One significant concern was the inability to access the hotel after midnight, creating an inconvenience reminds of a student dormitory. The hotel's policy of closing the door at that hour seemed restrictive and detracted from the overall flexibility and convenience of the stay. Furthermore, the bicycle rental service left much to be desired. The poor quality of the bicycles and the unexpected double charge for their use were notable drawbacks. It was frustrating to be charged twice, especially considering we were initially assured that the timing of bicycle usage wouldn't be an issue. This inconsistency in policy added an unwelcome layer of inconvenience to the overall experience. When I approached them to change money, I was offered an unfavorable rate, which was disappointing. This aspect of the service further contributed to my overall dissatisfaction during the stay.
I had an exceptional stay at the hotel in Sri Lanka. The location was simply amazing, offering a serene and relaxed atmosphere. The hotel's quality was top-notch, providing me with the best sleep and stunning views during meals. The amenities, including a jacuzzi, sauna, and pool, contributed to the overall experience. The food was delicious, and the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations were noteworthy. Additionally, the hotel had a pool table for enjoyable moments with my partner or friends. The separate bar with an English pub atmosphere added a special touch to the overall ambiance. The spacious outdoor areas, coupled with a large hall, big TV, and reliable WIFI, made the stay even more enjoyable. A bicycle trip around the golf field added a nice touch to the overall experience. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and comfortable stay.

United Arab EmiratesTea and coffee can definitely improve. Naans accompanying lunch/dinner should be skipped. Parathas are much better with curries and dhal.
Breakfast options are certainly limited but it's all made-to-order fresh and enjoyed it. They didn't serve any Sri Lankan breakfast option and that was a bit of a surprise. I like it simple and was happy with my omelets, freshly squeezed juices, fruits and toast with butter n jam.

IndiaWhat's to dislike ?!
The breakfast was substantial and well prepared, as was dinner. The chef/kitchen went out of their way to provide tasty options for the vegetarians in our party and overall both the set menus as well as the "a la carte" fare that was on offer was very reasonably priced. The property grounds, swimming pool and other facilities were well maintained, the location brilliant, and views were magnificent. The surrounding streets/roads offered opportunities to walk and explore in truly lovely peaceful surroundings with a great ambiance. The quality of service and the speed of response by the staff was excellent. Definitely intend visiting again, if possible, with an even larger group.

This is my 3rd time staying at this hotel and I will happily return again, because it is hard to beat the views and the food. Staff is super helpful and hospitable. The hotel is not the newest so some might feel it needs an update (maybe a little paint here and there); but we liked it the way it is as it has a character!

United KingdomThe most amazing view high above a beautiful golf course. The hotel is built into a very steep hillside (great view of Victoria Reservoir and the golf course); a lift operates well. The hotel is owned by a well connected sportsman and is full of his most interesting memorabilia. There is a half size Pool/ snooker table, a Jacuzzi hot tub, a steam room and a Sauna and a small swimming pool; all of which are unusual and welcome assets. Most people looking for accommodation in this area will be attracted by a superb golf course set in a forest with wonderful trees, well maintained greens and fairways and very helpful caddies.
