Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

DenmarkThe owners sistet, came sneaking in on one of the dogs one evening, from bwhind the house and started throwing things after it.. He was laying just next to my husbond and we have just been feeding him. She is supposed to be a big buddhist cause she is praying 10 times a day and the alter is pretty much next to you when you are sitting outside.. Buddhism is, be kind to the animals. I actually didn't want to make a review but the owner keeps asking me on WhatsApp and even after I told him why he started writing lies about what he's sister did.. And yah Sorry but that is not working out for me..
Its pretty much what you see on the pictures.

Amazing host! So glad we stayed at the Holiday home Anuradhapura. Janaka was very quick to reply to our messages and he personally ensured we were well informed of the directions to the house. House exceeded our expectations and highly recommended to anyone visiting Anuradhapura to choose there. Even if you are a foreigner, you will not feel lost as janakas English was superb, you will find it very easy to communicate with him. also couldn’t forget Janaka’s wife, very helpful and kind lady. Superb, we will be back

Sri LankaNothing is wrong about it
Sooo good love it i recommend this place for tourists. And i saw an comment about animal abusing well we saw a Sray dog and decided to give it food and nothing happened I think that that comment is wrong. And also the host did not even ask me to make a comment he just sed if you want you can make a comment so that makes that comment way wrong. Anyway awesome place to visit.
