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.).

AustraliaWalls are a bit thin - so it was easy to hear noise from outside. Traffic wasn’t such a big issue, but I could hear other people who were staying at the guest house. No problem for me but worth noting.
Comfortable, clean, truly fantastic location meant I had a really really nice stay. The property was lovely and the room was spacious with a nice bathroom. Literally a 2 minute walk to the beaches and easy to get to Galle, as there is a bus stop right out the front of the guest house. Breakfast was lovely. Everything was great!

The family running the Guest House is amazing - so kind and hospitality focused. Always checking in to make sure everything is great. The breakfast is so good - home cooked to order, plentiful and delicious. The room is very comfortable with ac and mosquito nets. Nice common spaces to hang out outside too

The location.was good and only a short walk across the road to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here.

The breakfast was delicious and so cheap too! £3 and you get toast, eggs of your choice, potatoes, salad, fruit and tea or coffee or juice! The beds are comfortable and it’s right next to a bus stop and the beach is a 3 minute walk.

AustraliaThe bed was a little too firm for me however I enjoy a really plush bed.
The staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly and polite, checking in and making sure I had everything I needed. A shared fridge was also available which was perfect for my iced coffee and any leftovers from other restaurants. The room was more spacious than I anticipated with practical little touches including a huge clothes rack to dry your swimmers. A delicious home cooked continental breakfast- the best eggs I had in Sri Lanka. This stay was such good value for money for anyone looking for some quiet and affordable luxury.
