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.).

Sri Lanka"The Bliss" is a place with a very silent environment. My wife and I stayed at this place for two days. Everyone here is very friendly. Also, "Jude" is the manager here, he is very supportive guy. The rooms & bathrooms here are very clean and have comfortable beds. This place was just what I didn't expect. However, I will choose to stay at this place again if I visit Kandy.

BangladeshDue to past guests' behavior the fridge and the kitchen was "staff only" which is kind of a bummer if you're a solo backpacker and are staying at a hostel. Due to my own budget constraints and Sri Lanka having high food costs, it would have been a little easier for me. But Jude helps if asked. The location is a little far from the city center, which I personally enjoyed, but may not be for all.
The location and the vibe of the place was just great! The caretaker Jude was also a very helpful host. He texted the location beforehand and helped me get a Tuk at a slightly cheaper price than Pick me or Uber. I felt very safe and comfortable there. Initially I was planning to stay just a night, but I booked another night as my plans changed. The common space is also very homely. I also got to meet the owners and they were also sweet people. They also have a wonderful Green-house and a well maintained lawn and gardens. If you're into English breakfasts they also have that there in the property. Overall my stay was fantastic and I would definitely want to return there. Great option for travelers who want to disconnect and rest

SpainWe found a cocoroach in the room but it's something you can expect in every place with such weather conditions surrounded by nature or a garden. Moreover, the staff took immediate action on it and they were checking the room every time we were coming back.
The staff was very helpful and guided us throughout the city. They also found us an amazing driver to our next destination. Jude prepared us an amazing dinner and we had a very nice chat with him in the evening. It is very nice house with very nice spice garden with fruit trees. Very modern and new bathroom.

Sri LankaAn air conditioner unit would have helped a lot to beat the hot summer heat. The kitchen was not fully available but the concern was understandable. The essential utensils were available for use (knives,plates, etc)
The private room was very spacious and very clean. Mr.Jude was really helpful. There was ample hot water and the bed was comfortable. The room had a private entrance as well. The neighborhood is quite safe and peaceful. The shop keepers nearby are polite and helpful.

IndiaThe Bliss was truly blissful. The best part is that it's located 20 minutes away from the hustle bustle of the main city. The property is extremely beautiful and well-maintained. Chathura reaches out to you within minutes of your booking to understand your requirements to ensure that your stay is as comfortable as it gets. Both Chathura and Jude make sure that you are taken care of very well during your stay. They also helped me in arranging my day trips to Dambulla- Sigriya and Nuwara Eliya. Jude's vegan meal was absolutely fantastic. The Bliss is my home away from home in Sri Lanka. PS. The bed is extremely comfortable! There is hot running water 24x7.
