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.).

GermanyBathroom sometimes smells. The menu sounds good, but they just got a few meals available. Pool is very cold and a bit old not like the picture. Everything is a bit old. That's OK, but the pictures look different.
The hotel is at a quiet place outside the loud city. The staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are big and with AC.

MaldivesThe property sits in a prime location up in the mountain. However, due to years of negligence, the building and the surrounding shows aging. There are three staff members who works roughly 18-19 hour shifts daily, therefore the customer service fell a little short and you can see how much they were struggling to cope with the hectic environment. We drove from Colombo to Kandy on the day of check in and arrived at the property roughly around 18:00. The receptionist couldn’t find my booking during check in and had to call their reservations department. The reservations manager was very upset and confused about my arrival and asked for confirmation from her regarding the booking. After a back and forth conversation they were able to find my reservation but had overbooked the hotel during my stay. She mentioned that I can only get a nights stay there and would need to check out one day earlier, which was very disappointing. We got our stay finalized according to what we booked after getting the booking.com Customer service involved.

Sri LankaVery remote location, hard to get to/find. We were given a room that had a thin plywood door leading to another room with a crying child - we heard every sound. After we complained management provided another room. Dinner and breakfast were really disappointing. Also very long wait. There was no hot water in the evening and in the morning, a broken garbage bin in the washroom, ants. Horrible smell in the room (smelled like naphthalene). This joint is way overpriced for what you get. Also, I don't know what people who give this place a "10" were smoking.
Unfortunately, there was not much to like.

United KingdomMelheim Villas Kandy is a tranquil getaway nestled in the hillside above Kandy. Our room was spacious clean and well equipped, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom clean and the water hot. Out balcony looked out over a stunning forested valley (see pics). Breakfast and dinner were generous and most delicious. And the staff were excellent! So nice, obliging and professional. They really made us feel so well looked after, and they kept us very well fed. We enjoyed walking into town. And to the botanical gardens via the university - well worth a visit. We loved our stay, and only wish we could have stayed longer.
