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.).

AustraliaConstruction next door, but it didn’t bother us much
We originally booked just one night but ended up staying four—that’s how much we enjoyed this place! The accommodation was very comfortable and just a short walk from the beach. The location is also really convenient, with plenty of restaurants nearby. An added bonus was the pool, which was perfect for relaxing during the day. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.

NetherlandsI had a wonderful stay in Paris Garden. The rooms are very comfortable and situated next to the amazing pool, perfect to chill at during a hot day. The host Wanu is very friendly and happy to help with anything you want, but best of all is their little puppy Marco! It broke my heart to say goodbye to him, such a welcoming friend to come home to after the beach.

AustraliaAccommodation was expensive for a very basic room with a tv that doesn’t work and wifi that’s intermittent. But I guess you are paying for location which was good. It was comfortable.
Very close to beach front, bars and restaurants. Great location behind other beachfront accommodation. Large pool.

NamibiaThe bathroom needs a bit of attention, but will not put us off from coming back.
We loved our stay in Paris Garden Resort. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner perfect, the fridge a added bonus. Venu is very friendly and always helpful. We enjoyed Rocky the rescue dog who welcomed us home after she started to know us. The swimming pool is lovely, the layout of this accommodation is perfect with the nice loungers just outside your chalet. The location is perfect, we went over our budget with the delicious restaurants in the area and loved the gorgeous beach a few minutes walk from here. We are sorry that we only stayed 3 days in Trincomalee, this is where the holiday vibe is.

AustraliaDirty beach upuveli and nilaveli, not the hosts fault. Am not sure if it's from tourism, fisherman or the currents. Guess it depends what you're used to. Room isn't huge but there's plenty of room directly outside room under shade with lounge chair and table and chairs.
In the best location, 2 min walk to beach, 2 min walk to good cafes. Just far enough from Fernando's you don't hear the music all night. Don't be put off it's not beachfront, you will be glad for the clean pool instead of the rubbish strewn beach in the heat of the day. Bed was super comfortable for srilankan bed, one of the best we had in 2 weeks. There's a large fridge near pool area, so if you buy beers at wine store the savings will pay for the room ! Very nice man running it. Bathroom was very clean. Air-con was the coldest we had in our whole trip. Make sure you have the curry buffet at rice n curry at end of street

United KingdomThe air conditioning could be a little bit better as the remote didn't always work and it could have been more powerful to keep the room cold.
Excellent accomodation only a 2 minute walk from the beech. The rooms are nice, the hosts were pleasant and extremely helpful and accommodating and the resort even has a cute little dog called Rocky.

Amazing and very helpful staff (thank you Venu!), clean pool and rooms with good AC and we loved the small puppy that was hanging out at the hotel grounds (extra points for that!).

We stayed here for 7 nights and I wish we could have stayed longer. A very nice hotel with a well-kept swimming pool. Spacious room, with a comfortable bed. We had a hot water from the shower every day and well-functioning air conditioning. Relaxed atmosphere and super cool people. Venu was very friendly and helpful with everything. Nothing was to much trouble for him. He organized a scooter for us at a very affordable price. An additional attraction was a tiny puppy that was found on the beach and Venu took very good care of her. Hotel is located very close to the beach. We would definitely love to stay here again.

United KingdomBathroom could do with a revamp
We had a lovely four night stay here. The rooms were comfortable and come with a fridge. The bathroom is basic and could do with a refresh but you get hot water which is all that really matters. AC worked well. The pool was a lovely touch and it was always super clean. Could do with a few more sunbeds and maybe some sunbed covers as you’re just lying on a bit of wood which gets a little uncomfortable! Great location, so close to the beach and restaurants. Venu who is the caretaker/housekeeper/groundskeeper was so lovely and friendly. Also if you do book to stay here please look after the little pup that you’ll see around, she was rescued from the beach and just needs a bit of care!

Great staff, taking care of the cleanliness of the rooms and the pool, and also caring for and feeding the dog. I highly recommend it, I would love to go back there. Excellent value for money.
