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.).

AustraliaThe property is very remote, on a very bumpy dirt road. The separate villas are dotted around the water gardens and connected via dirt paths, there is a buggy to take you to the reception, pool and dining areas although sometimes we walked as it isn't very far. The villas are spacious with balconies and are spotless. There is one restaurant on site where you can have all meals, the food was delicious and large servings. The only negatives are the hotel is not anywhere near a village so you can't go for a stroll to explore Sigiriya village and therefore must eat and drink at the hotel. Also, the pool area is lovely but there is no shade (the umbrellas don't cover the whole of the sunlounges) so it gets very hot. There is a pool bar but the service was poor, if you could find someone to take your drink order, it took ages to then get the drinks. Overall, we loved our stay here though, it was very relaxing, the staff were lovely and the food was great.

AustraliaA spectacular property with a view of Sigiriya (Lion Rock), sprawling over a large property with waterlilies and peacocks. One of the biggest hotel pools I've seen, with excellent service and rooms that were beautifully appointed. I loved using one of the resort bicycles to cycle around, and enjoyed my stay very much. Make sure to book for enough time to enjoy the hotel as it's fantastic.

The villa was out of this world. They had thought of every little thing from the home made biscuits to the evening chocolate treat. Excellent massage too.

United StatesThe dinners were quite good, but not rising to the level of exceptional.
The villas are very large, like having a private home to yourself. They are well appointed, comortable, and a wonderful private haven. The staff was universally friendly, accommodating, professional and wonderful to interact with. The dining staff is exceptional -- what service. The location near Sigiriya and away from the crowds is excellent. The setting, with pools of water and peacocks running freely, is captivating.

United KingdomThe shower worked well but an anti slip mat or a grab rail would have been appreciated.
Beautiful grounds, well kept. The staff were very helpful. The location was excellent for exploring Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. We enjoyed peaceful strolls in the grounds watching an array of birds. Our room had a good selection of books giving information relevant to the property and its surroundings. The staff in reception, Dan and Nipun and Dilshan and Madushan were especially kind and helpful.
