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.).

NetherlandsCouldn´t have wished for a better place to start our holidays in Sri Lanka.
Very friendly and helpful hosts. Sharmila prepared us a delicious dinner which we enjoyed while talking to her and her husband. Breakfast was also yummy. They helped us with everything and gave us advice about our itinerary. The room was very nice; we enjoyed the balcony and the beds were great! Would love to come back here.

IndiaNOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I CANT COMPLAIN ABOUT A SINGLE THING
What a place and what a host. I really don't have words to explain their hospitality. They treated us like family and guided us for each and every thing. While leaving the villa also, the host mentioned that you can call me anytime for any help during the trip. And their house is so beautiful. Total value of money for the kind of stay they are providing. We were welcomed with a homemade drink.

We stayed for only a few hours, check in time 2am, checkout time 6am at the start of our Sri lanka trip. However, the hostess made the place seem warm for us even for a short time. Very welcoming, despite the late check in hour, spotless clean room, the offer to make tea at 5.30 in the morning (though we rejected the offer, since we wanted to get a headstart), very comfortable beds. The garden and common area was very well decorated, I would have loved to linger

TurkeyHotel's location is perfect and they give you free bicycles to explore the city. Owners are the best! A couple full of love and spreading their love with customers. We stayed 2 days and they helped us with everything like where to eat, tips to how to go to another city. With the given tips about going to another city, we re-arrange our trip and saved hours that had spend on road. Also they let us use the kitchen and give us extra fan-with no charge.
