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.).

SerbiaWe couldn't get any drinks in the evening.
The courtyard is heavenly: soft grass, lots of flowers, bushes and trees, smelling wonderfully. The swimming pool is clean and is nicely placed at the end of the yard. The views are amazing, especially from the balcony. Although the hotel is situated a bit far from the centre, the surrounding is very pleasant and safe, and tuk-tuks are easy to find. The rooms are OK, comfortable. The breakfast is also nice: sometimes it was the open buffet and sometimes a simple omelette with pancakes. The staff are cool and relaxed.

Perfect end to our stay in Sri Lanka. Modern, spacious and very clean rooms, super comfortable beds and excellent wi-fi. We could not have been made to feel more welcome! The staff were of great asistance during our stay including the provision of a special vegan breakfast. In addition they gave great recommendations of other local eating locations. Very clean pool, in a garden setting, great for a refreshing swim after a day exploring. The view from the room and associated balcony was spectacular. We really appreciated the chance to escape the hustle and bustle that is downtown Kandy. We would highly recommend the Kandyan Villa to anyone looking for a relaxing break in their Sri Lankan travels. For anyone disuaded by the location, don't let it put you off. Yes, it is up a steep hill, but tuk tuks are very economical in getting you up and down. The kind staff will also arrange a tuk tuk or car for you, if required. There is also a local bus, a very short walk from the accommodation, if you are more adventurous.

United KingdomThe remoteness of the property as it was a 10 minute tuktuk ride into town and very few drivers knew how to get there. A steady steep climb into the mountainside. No bar or restaurant to come back to after a busy day out and nothing local to use either.
A very relaxed non-busy accommodation with a feeling of staying in a country residence with great views Good friendly communication with staff especially Shashika who we chatted to at breakfast and who organised our tuk-tuks into the city and on to Negombo

AustraliaThe restaurant wasn't open, but given the small number of guests that's understandable.
Loved this hotel. Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night and arrived quite late so didn't get to spend as much time there as we would have liked. The pool was set in beautiful garden and was exceptionally clean. The view from the room and balcony over the hills and valley was breathtaking, and you could hear the call to prayer in the early morning and evening. The staff were so helpful - even helped us order a meal delivery using an app on their phone and assisted with payment. The hotel was very quiet and peaceful with very comfortable beds.

QatarThe roads leading to the villa are not in good condition and you have to drive very steep roads. Because of the rain, our minivan driver had hard time driving there. I don't really understand why there are window rails from the toilet to the corridor. Those in the corridor can hear every sound from the toilets. Otherwise soundproofing is good. They don't have dinner restaurant but they can order you pizza.
The location is wonderful when it comes to the views and serenity. Big contrast to what it would be like staying in the city. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Nice breakfast. The kids really liked the playground We didn't have time to swim but the pool looked well-maintained.

Lovely staff, very friendly and always willing to help . Its very peaceful, and the breakfast was lovely, especially the coconut pancakes! Great way to try some tradtional sri lankan food. The location is in the hills so it's not possible to walk to kandy but it's easy to use tuk tuks and it's worth it for the views and the peacefulness. Thank you!

Czech RepublicThe location is not ideal. Very hard to find on the maps and only option to go to the city if the staff orders you tuk tuk. Although it was always arrange very swiftly. The worst thing is that the taxi driver ordered by the hotel put us on the wrong bus. Instead of going to Galle we ended up in Matara. And that's after checking 10x with bus and taxi driver.
Was good value for money. Helpful staff. Hotel is a bit outdated so doesn't really look the same as the pictures but that didn't really bother us. The view is really nice, overlooking the city. Was pretty clean as well. Overall would recommend if you don't mind using tuk tuk every time you need to go to the city.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere. We felt very well looked after throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious, the views were beautiful and the pool was really clean. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are travelling with children.
