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.).

NetherlandsLike in all other hotels where we stayed so far on this trip in Srilanka, we noticed a lack of maintenance. By the way this also is applicable to other Asian countries, like Indonesia, where we noticed the same short-coming. Probably the culture lacks feel for "preventive maintenance" and daily inspection of the proper functioning of equipment. This is a job for room-cleaners to report to the maintenance engineer to handle (if such position exists in this hotel).
The Guest Relations Manager Mr. Rajitha provided us excellent service throughout our stay at the White House. All staff were extremely friendly, just like all people we meet in Srilanka. We enjoyed the taste of the welcome drink on arrival at the hotel. The room (Pettagama) was spacy and well equipped. We enjoyed the small refrigerator, the airco was working well, no problems with mosquitoes. Last night the guests in the adjacent room had their TV sound too high, as a result that we could not sleep. We called the reception desk to ask them to contact the guests in question so as to ask them to turn down the sound of the TV. We were most pleased that the reception immediately and successfully followed up on our request.

Sri LankaMy stay at White House Hotel was exceptional. The staff, from security to the manager, were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms, especially the VVIP family room we stayed at, were spotless, cozy, and inviting. The hotel's facilities, including a well-equipped fitness center and a refreshing pool, pool tables and other amazing facilities added an extra layer of enjoyment for me and my family. Highly recommended for a fantastic and comfortable stay. I'll definitely be back!
