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.).

NetherlandsThe jeepsafari was an absolute highlight! The driver knows the park very well and took all the time. He also didn’t go where all the jeeps where, so most of the times we saw the animals all for ourselves! We actually loved the place to stay, with AC and a original bathroom. Breakfast is amazing!

SwedenNothing, perfect!
Everything! The family was the kindest and served us amazing homemade Sri Lankan food when we arrived in the evening. They spoke very well English and were interesting in getting to know you, felt like home! Our room was clean, good temperature with ac and the most comfortable bed. We had a really good nights rest here before staring the safari early in the morning which we also booked through this accommodation. You could tell the driver had good experience of the national park and the animals we saw. Two of the family’s children joined us in the safari and the younger boy told us some information about things we saw during the tour which we really appreciated! After safari the breakfast was served when we got back and it was also very good! You get a lot of food, more than you can eat. The accommodation also booked our taxi to mirissa for us after check-out. Couldn’t recommend it more!

RomaniaAbsolutely nothing, everything was perfect!! :)
The staff is amazing!! We had 7 aaccomodations in Sri Lanka, but this one was the best! The family gives its best to make sure everything is ok. The dinner and breakfast were incredible - local food prepared by the host. The house is very clean, so are the rooms and bathrooms. They also arranged transport for us, as well as safari trip which was an incredible experience with a very nice man who knew so many things about animals. Totally recommend this accommodation!! You won’t regret it. Best family in Sri Lanka! Not to mention the price which is very very good!!

This place is a winner! Lovely host and a lovely house. So clean and comfortable. We wished we could take the room with us on our travels. Host organised a brilliant safari for us and fed us with a Sri Lankan feast for dinner and breakfast. This place should charge double what they do imo.

United KingdomThe internet is not great but that is to be expected in the jungle and didn't bother me at all.
The host family are all lovely and very helpful. The safari they organised was great and they even made dinner for us one night which was excellent. The facilities were very modern and clean. Overall I was very comfortable here and had a good time.

Easy to find and well-located, not far from a major intersection and close to shops and restaurants. The family running the hotel is very friendly and communicates well in English. There's an option to order safaris through them, but without any pressure from the owners. The safari we booked through our hosts was excellent—the driver was very attentive, spoke good English, and had a great knowledge of the animals in Udawalawe National Park. We were able to see many species, from the smallest to the largest, including elephants and crocodile, of course. Don't miss the chance to have dinner prepared by the owners—the food is delicious, traditional Sri Lankan cuisine prepared with attention to guests' needs. We were a group with various dietary requirements, and everyone was well taken care of. The breakfast were tasty and varied. The rooms are small but clean, and the bathrooms are also clean.
