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.).

AustraliaBathroom is located outside of the room, which even though they said was just ours, it looked like a shared toilet even if it wasn’t.
Shared kitchen, room was spacious. No one else was occupying any of the other rooms, so it felt like we had the whole floor to ourselves. Lovely, helpful and welcoming staff.

United KingdomThe bathroom is outside the room, but is no issue as they tell guests it is only exclusive to us. Unfortunately I do have to mention that my father ordered a taxi with the host that was going straight to the airport because of his flight a few days in advance. The taxi never arrived on the day and I had to text the host to confirm that there was one coming at the time we agreed, and he had forgotten. It was left a bit late, but luckily he was able to take my father instead - for £50 though. He did make apologises to my father, and he didn’t miss his flight. I think just next time to improve the situation, both parties should have been more communicative to prevent this happening again.
This stay was very pleasant, all inclusive of FREE filter water downstairs (never seen before in Sri Lanka) and washing machine. The host was very accommodating and went out of his way to buy our room a socket connector also which we were very appreciative of. They cooked our family an entire free meal in our stay and it was quite delicious! Kitchen was so clean, we used every day to cook meals. Very close to beautiful beach. Many great things to say about this place, would stay here again.

Sri LankaAlthough it was a last minute booking, Damitha and his staff were so amazing in making sure I have everything I needed. I stayed on the top floor in a huge room with view of the sea, a killer sunset, and a large top floor balcony to enjoy it in. So grateful to all the staff for helping me whenever I have a query or request. Damitha gave the best sightseeing recommendations around the area, which turned out to be some of the top highlights of my time in Sri Lanka. The location is just behind the famous museum. Ambalangoda is an amazing place. I hope the culture will continue to be preserved and flourish in the future.

Sri LankaWe didn't like that the bathroom was outside of our room. There was another room directly opposite our door, which made using the bathroom feel uncomfortable and less private.
We stayed in a rooftop room with a sea view, and it was wonderful. The room was very clean, and the host was amazing. The hotel is conveniently close to the city, nice restaurants, and the beach. We especially enjoyed spending time on the rooftop terrace.
