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.).

SpainOne of the best places we’ve been in Sri Lanka. The host is the most charming and attentive person we’ve met, always making sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, the room was very comfortable with a lovely terrace, and the location is great, just a 20 minutes walk to the center. Couldn’t ask for more! Thank you for everything :)

FranceThe host was very helpful. He arranged all our trips in and around Kandy. Thanks to him, we discovered everything the city has to offer. He also recommended a restaurant nearby - excellent. The room was spacious, clean and functional. He helped us catch the train the next day. The breakfast was good ! If I ever come back to Kandy, I'll definitely stay with him!

We had a great time at his place! The host is absolutely wonderful—super friendly, kind, and takes excellent care of his guests. It was a pleasure to chat with him, and you can tell he's a hardworking and dedicated person. The house is beautiful, with spacious and clean rooms. It’s also in a great location: close to the center, but still in a quiet, peaceful area. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!

The building is beautiful and the rooms inside even more so. So spacious and clean. At first we were worried about the location, but it is only a 30 minute walk into the centre where the market and restaurants are or of course a couple of pounds tuk tuk ride. But the most amazing part of our stay was the lovely owner Suneth. As soon as we arrived he welcomed us with some fresh juice and we sat and got to know him some more. He is truly the purest soul and kindest man we have met during our travels. He gave us advice about Kandy, helped us with our onward travels and prepared us the best breakfast we’ve had so far. When I couldn’t finish my fruit, he put it in a tub for me so I could take it and eat it on my bus. I urge you to stay with him and experience his hospitality yourself. We will never forget our stay with you Suneth and wish you all the best.

IrelandWe had an amazing stay at Chandi Mahals!! The hosts hospitality was truly exceptional, extremely kind and helpful man who went out of his way to make sure we had a good stay. The included breakfast is delicious and such a treat to enjoy home cooked Sri Lankan meals with fresh homemade juices too! He is more than willing to drop you to local attractions and gave us a list of things to see. He arranges it all! Honestly the best place we’ve stayed after a month of traveling Sri Lanka.

SloveniaBecause the road is down from the house, it is pretty loud. Also adding an air conditioning would be great, since you can’t have the window open and the smells at evening gets a bit stanky. So the smell and air it the room would be better.
We loved the owner!!! Seriously, best so far. He was super nice, gave us a lot od really useful tips and helped us with transport (normal prices) and had AMAZING breakfast. The toast with potato is was the best.
