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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Czech RepublicThe kitchen was in the outside area with no AC, no ventilator. There were frogs and flies in the kitchen. IT IS not equipped at all. There were no cloths, tea towels ,lids and other casual kitchen equipment. There were no matches or lighter for the gas stove in the kitchen The AC was extremely noisy in two rooms. There was NO hot water, just lukewarm water. Both lounchers at the swimming pool were broken. The grill was also broken. The gate to the swimming pool Is also broken. There were no bikes at all even though the offer says that you can get bikes there. The Wi-Fi doesn't work. And there Is a caretaker who lives in the same house And that was not said before. So in fact you don't have aby privacy because there is always somebody with you who even shares the kitchen with you. And this man doesn't speak English and can't help you. So there Is no need to have there such a person. This whole stay was an absolute disappointment.
The swimming pool was ok.

United KingdomWe visited Ceylon Villa during the rainy season so were not sure what to expect in terms of shops and amenities being open. I messaged the owner well in advance with a few queries but recieved no reply. The location is probably ok in the normal season, there is a lovely bakery just down the road and some small shops. It is a short walk to one of the beaches but about an hours walk to the main Nilhaveli beach. When we arrived we were blown away by the outdoor space, including the swimming pool which was immaculate. The garden was very well looked after and a lovely place to hang out. The outside dining area is nice but be prepared for lots of flies. We were greeted by the caretaker, who showed us the keys and said that he would be staying in the room by the kitchen and would be there the duration of our stay. He also said that we would share the kitchen space with him. Whilst he tried to be helpful during our stay, and also was not intrusive, we feel that this should have been made clear in the description of the place. It is not exclusively your villa and there are restrictions on when you can use the pool. We had read in the list of facilities at the property that there were bikes, wifi and a television. There were no bikes, the wifi did not work and nor did the tv. We asked the caretaker but he was unable to fix. He did contact the owner who initially hired us one bike ( there were 4 of us) but managed to get us 4 bikes on the second day of our stay. We had banked on using the shared kitchen to prepare meals- knowing that it was off season. It was really unclean when we arrived and unsuitable for cooking. The fridge was mucky and we had to clean the shelves we wanted to use. There were no wash cloths, clean teatowels or soap for washing up so we went and bought some. We asked the caretaker if he could help and he did his best with limited resources. Inside the villa at least two of the rooms had serious damp and water marks on the walls.
Pool and outdoor space beautiful and very well looked after.

Sri LankaNot a problem but could do with microwave for young kids meal and milk prep.
Amazing choice for the price of a couple of hotel rooms we put up a whole family, Grandparents to children. Such a lovely self contained property that is finished to a high standard. We phoned ahead before arriving to ask for a few things and they were there when we arrived. Pool is well maintained and has some shade for daytime dips, kitchen is big enough and equiped enough to prepare modest meals or serve take out. Communal seating area on terrace is a nice place to breakfast and sit in rhe evening. Caretaker was staying on premises (seperate room different entrance, not connected to guest area) very helpful but not at all intrusive, really nice. Very happy with the choice ideal for family group. Don't forget price does not include tax
