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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

SpainThe only downside, which is not a big issue, is the lack of water pressure in the shower. Taking a shower was a bit difficult, especially with long hair, because the water flow was very weak. We even ended up washing our hair in the sink, as the water came out stronger there. Other than that, everything was excellent. For the price, it is definitely worth it — the value for money is really great.
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is close to the city center, the room was spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The owners are extremely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

SerbiaThe room is very dirty, the dog barked during the night and the owner let the duck walk in front of the room at 1:00 am. This is definitely the worst accommodation we have had. This accommodation is not for people coming from Europe, we are not used to these conditions. Also, the location on the map is not correctly displayed on the booking and we barely found the accommodation after half an hour of wandering and trying to communicate with our owner.
Walking distance of the house is not far away from the center.

United KingdomNo sign outside, but did get greeted with a friendly smile from owner who spotted us looking confused. Stairs to property was most worrying, exposed concrete with no railings at the top! Not great if with small children. No pressure on shower, but normal for Sri Lanka.
Location was perfect!! People were very friendly and kept place clean. Train passing by was a stone throw away. Walk out of property and few steps down onto the railway tracks. Walk left for main town taking a right off tracks before train bridge that goes over traffic. Or for 9 Arch bridge, simply carry on walking along tracks! Worth knowing the train between Ella and Kandy doesn’t cross the 9 arch bridge, need to go one more station.

AustraliaThe shower was only hand held and had minimal water pressure, the staircase into the room was dubious but the balcony had no railing so safety was an issue when entering the room. But it was well enough lit at night to see in.
The service, size of the room, comfort of bed, proximity to the main strip. The staff that served us was genuinely kind.
