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.).

AustraliaBeing a new building on the edge of town, the hotel was clean and fresh. Just a quick and cheap Uber /tuk tuk ride into town, I liked being a bit removed from the centre as the hotel was quiet and peaceful with a lovely view over to the mountains. There was also a desk so I could work and the balcony was also a nice retreat to be outside. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I ate quite a few meals at the hotel and they were some of my favourites in Sri Lanka so far. I’d highly recommend this property.

Sri LankaCleanliness has to be improved, Found dirt areas on the floor from before guests which was not cleaned well. And food quality and portion has to imprved as it felt not worth for money.
Location is good and rooms are very good. The rooms exceeded our expectations and was given next to eachother rooms. It has a nice view specially in dawn and the sun setting time. Showers have very good pressure on water.

United KingdomThe only problem we had was an ant infestation in the bathroom sink and well as on the dresser tables. The staff were great and sorting it and did everything they could to rectify it. As it is a new property, this is a teething problem and something they are working on. As someone not fussed on bugs this didn’t bother me, however if you’re a city dweller be mindful. Additionally the road to access this hotel is small and very steep - but worth the view!
The hotels location is SUPERB! It is truly the selling point of this hotel. It is a new hotel, only opening end of last year and has a maximum of 5 rooms. Personally we preferred this. It was quiet, comfortable and so spacious. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and accommodating. We had dinner and breakfast at the property and the food was excellent, they make it to your specifications and at a time that suits you. The rooftop is perfect for watching the sunrise and they offer morning yoga sessions.

United KingdomWe knew before booking that it was on a hill and a 800 rps tuk tuk drive away from the city.
Amazing welcome from the professional yet friendly and caring team. The view from the balcony and restaurant was spectacular. The breakfast was tasty and we also ate one evening meal which was cooked to order and delicious,(Vegetarian rice and curry) The hotel arranged tuk tuks as requested, provided good advice if asked for and spoke outstanding English so communication was easy. The room was spacious, modern, clean with a brilliant bathroom and amazing shower. The balcony had a comfy sofa and we loved just sitting and admiring the view.
