How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe family who run the hotel were fantastic! They were always so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Thank you!
The only thing to say is that it would have been nice to have had new water bottles placed in the room every morning and fresh towels.

Verified reviewI had a great stay at Copacabana. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is spot on, right on the beach. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, smoothie, fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs how you like, sausage, bread, cakes and something Sri Lankan each day. The roof terrace is a lovely place to start the day and has excellent views of the beach.
It’s hard to find something I didn’t like. One night the bar next door had a dj playing very loud music until the early hours which made it very hard to sleep. This is absolutely not the fault of the hotel though and I soon drifted off with my ear plugs in!

Verified reviewWe had a room with a ocean view-was amazing. Great location close to the beach. Close to the main road with shops, cafes and restaurants. Wasn’t noisy. Under the rooms is a restaurant also, but for us it wasn’t a problem-great music every evening.
We can't mention any grievances, the only point we would like some variety for breakfast.

Verified review- Location is great! - Beach view and spacious balcony are fantastic. - Room has WiFi, a fan and an AC. - Host Neeran, his wife and the helper are very friendly and hospitable. - We checked-in 2 hours earlier. - On our last day, despite having checked out in the morning, Neeran kindly allowed us to use a vacant room to shower before heading to the airport in the afternoon. This gesture was much appreciated.
- The breakfast choice was limited (eggs of your choice, everyday for 7 days) - probably because we were there during off-season. It would have been great to have more variety and fresh fruits, especially that the room price is on the higher end, or remove the breakfast and charge less for the room. - The sun lounge beds are not adjustable. - The water pressure was inconsistent, and hot water took a minute or two to start running. - On a rainy day, there was no hot water.
