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.).

BulgariaThe towels were not so clean, the bathroom was also a little bit dirty. There was only a fan not an AC.
The guy on the reception was really nice, the other was was a little strange. The house was impressive, everything made of wood. The location was perfect.

NetherlandsRoom is pretty outdated and can use a renovation. Towels and sheets are also dirty and would need new ones. But overall we had a good stay!
Very friendly hosts that are super helpful in arranging a tour for the Wilpattu park. Also great opportunity to rent bicycles to explore the tempels!

Sri LankaThe power went off that day and the place did not have proper preparation for that. They did not have even candles in standby. One staff member has to rush to shops to bring candles. In Sri Lanka power failures are frequent. Since they did not have a standby generator, should have bit more preparation for a such situation. The bathroom and bathroom facilities were somewhat old. In my son's room, hot water shower did not operate properly.
Staff was friendly and respectful.

South KoreaFacilities are old. Room size is not spacious. Lots of Mosquito will attack during the stay.
Calm and peaceful location. Big dining hall and kind staffs were impressive. Mosquito net was essential and good to sleep well. Location is around 15 minutes walk from New bus stand. So it's better to take tuktuk if you have luggage.

Sri LankaIt would have been better if they had arranged something for the meals, such as a delivery service or recommendations for restaurants that offer delivery. Additionally, the hotel closes at around 10:30 PM, which is a bit frustrating since we are expected to arrive around that time. It would have been great if they could have provided a way for us to access the hotel whenever we wanted.
The ròom was nice and comfortable enough.

Czech RepublicMosquito net too short to fit the double bed. It's probably wrong size. Also there was a thick layer of dust on the top of it. Room needs to be painted, same for bathroom. Walls are a bit dirty. Only one power socket (behind the fridge)
Everything was very clean! Lovely terrace to sit on and eat (shared with other guests but divided by barriers so you get privacy) Close to Mihintale Rock (bus or Tuk Tuk) Water provided AC, Small fridge Helpful staff Nice welcome drink Possibility to rent bikes or scooter Good breakfast. It's also possible to have a local breakfast instead of western type Possible to eat (lunches, dinner) on arrangement

Sri LankaThere could be more storage space for clothes etc. Staff need to tone down the 'hard sell' when simply asked for a tuk tuk.Don't need to try and convince customer to take a tour or rent a bike from them.
Breakfast was ample. Spacious common areas in building. Handy location for the centre of town. Facilities in room adequate.

United KingdomWe paid for the economy room and it was just a bit too dirty. The mosquito net was really tired and covered in dust, it also didn’t fit the bed properly so it kept coming untucked. I still feel it was good value for money but just found these things annoying
Great stay in Anuradhapura with really friendly staff! We loved our stay here as the location was amazing, only a short walk to the lake and into town. The breakfast included was always really great and staff were accommodating about the different times we requested to eat (we had to leave early for the train one morning)
