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.).

The property was very nice and clean. The room was big and comfortable like in the photos, with a great panoramic view. You will be welcomed by Dr. Nimal and his wife, two beautiful person, who will take care of you in your entire stay. They’ve also managed to prepare our breakfast before the usual time, arranging a very tasty breakfast box

GermanyThe rooms and location were as described - very good! The hosts are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, they helped us with many organizational questions (also had very good tips/suggestions). The breakfast was great, and it was also so pleasant to converse with our hosts. They treated us like family, and we are so grateful that they shared their home with us!

ThailandI had the most wonderful stay at Mount Haven in Kandy. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and felt instantly at home. The location is perfect—tucked away in the hills, offering peaceful surroundings and breathtaking views over Kandy. The room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. Waking up to birdsong and mist-covered hills was a dream. Breakfast was delicious—fresh, generous portions, and served with a smile. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Whether you’re visiting Kandy for culture, nature, or simply to relax, I can’t recommend Mount Haven enough. A true hidden gem! What I like the most is the host, they are very nice, and their dog “Bella” is also lovely. Hope to have a chance to visit Kandy and stay here again.

IndiaNothing really. The approach road is a bit narrow and steep, so if you are driving yourself that's something you need to consider.
A very welcoming homestay run by a senior couple and their cute dog Bella. They made us feel at home right away. We had great conversations during the stay. The house is beautiful in a secluded area. The room we stayed in had nice view with lots of greens around. The room size was huge with a beautiful balcony. Breakfast was sumptuous too.

United KingdomThe owners were friendly and helpful. Had breakfast ready for when we needed it. It wasn't far from the city centre but steep for tuk tuks but they still do the job. There was a situation where we were locked out and the door bell wasn't working at first pressed 3times. We knocked and there was nothing. Then my husband tried and typically it worked and we were let in .

IranThe resort had a dog kept within the premises, with its food and water bowls placed on the floor. This led to saliva and food particles spreading on the ground, making the floor seem unclean. Additionally, the ground-floor room lacked privacy, as the owner lived in the same space. Another point to note is that the owner offered an expensive city tour package, which seemed unreasonable.
The atmosphere of the accommodation. The breakfast

United KingdomWe would have loved a Sri Lankan savoury breakfast, it's not for everyone but we'd have loved to give a preference that we'd have been very happy with curry for breakfast.
This absolutely beautiful room blew us away, the windows are huge giving incredible views and light throughout the room. I sat in bed at sunrise and watched the monkeys eating jackfruit in the trees. The location is great, we walked into town even though we had our own tuktuk. The owners are so welcoming and kind, we felt so well looked after.

United KingdomMe and my family have stayed at this guest house 3 times now and will continue to do so every time we return to Sri Lanka. This time I returned with my partner Mattia. I, myself, am gluten and lactose intolerant and Lanka, always made a beautiful breakfast that I could eat. They truly want only the best for their guests and will go above and beyond to make sure you have the best stay. But truly, their driver Lalith is an incredible man. He made our trip to Sri Lanka and we cannot recommend him enough for his kindness, honesty and time. For 3 days from 8am to 8pm he took to a variety of destinations from temples to waterfalls to tea plantations and cooking classes. Thank you for opening your wonderful home to us Nimal and Lanka- we hope to see you soon!
