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.).

JapanThe balcony door was a bit old and hard to open and close. We figured out how to work with it and it was barely a problem.
This was one of the most pleasant surprises on our trip. The view is gorgeous, the staff is kind, and the pool is long and right next to the bar, which was very fun. This is a truly special place that I recommend to anyone that's fine with a few minutes of walking on a slope.

United KingdomThe place is amazing and breathtaking, it’s on top of the hill looking to the Kandy lake, very close to the temple too. The room super big with a swimming pool view. The stuff very nice and welcoming. The only thing that we didn’t appreciate it was the dinner buffet, it could be better and with more options. Definitely we will come back

AustraliaThe air conditioning didn't seem to work properly in the room, it was warm and damp in the room at all times even when adjusting the thermometer. My partner and child suffered with upper respiratory discomfort at night and ended up getting sick. There was mould on the shower ceiling, perhaps due to the lack of ventilation - the decorated mini window in the bathroom was clogged with damp dust, and there was no exhaust fan so there was no air flow. Also the shower screen leaked water all over the floor.
The pool and eating areas were amazing. The room had a great view and was aesthetically pleasing with the decorations inside. The art work along the walls in the corridors were very nice, and the gardens were beautiful.

GermanyRooms look completely different from photos. Hotel is very old and not relaxing. Buffet is OK! Ordering something a la cart or drinks at the bar is catastrophic, there are no guests in the whole hotel and u have to wait still around 45/50 minutes to get your order. (A la cart is a joke because they just take the food which is already available at the buffet and put it on separate plates, I don’t understand why they would need 50min for that) look at the pictures I included to the review. Cocktails are disgusting Staff is very slow with everything. NO WIFI AT THE HOTEL! After 11 pm they shut down straight all lights and kicking you out of bar. Even walking through lobby is impossible without your phone light because it’s totally dark and no room or reception service is possible. We’ve been at Thilanka in Dambulla and it was very good! peaceful and worth the money. Can’t recommend the one in Kandy
Not really anything nice to say
