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.).

Very cute hotel located just 5 minutes walking to Sigiriya rock and to the main street with restaurants. The room was big and clean. The owners were very nice, they offered us some welcome drinks and helped us with everything we needed. The breakfast was very good.

Wonderful host arranged an airport transfer for the evening of our arrival in Sri Lanka with a careful driver. Good advice given around climbing the two Rocks and other aspects of our trip. Tuk Tuks arranged for us to pick us up at 4:50am for the ticket office opening at 5:00am for Lion Rock and also to get us on our way north when we left. The family were really welcoming an personable. The breakfast on the wonderful veranda was tasty and filling. Our two rooms came with a shared veranda which was perfect for us. Rooms and bedding very clean. Situated down a quiet lane near the exit to the Lion Rock site exit which made it possible to come back after the sunrise Lion Rock climb in time for breakfast. Also a pleasant 3km walk from the Homestay later on in the day around the perimeter of the Lion Rock site to get up Pidurangala rock for sunset.

GermanyA short but dark walk away from restaurants.
The Home Stay has a beautiful garden and is in a very quiet setting away from the hustle bustle of Main Street. The internet connection was reliable enough for work video calls. The family took great care of me when I was feeling sick. Also had laundry done at a fair price. Saman offered to arrange transport, tours and massages. Be sure to shop around for the best price though. Would recommend for a couple or group.

AustraliaOnce the sun sets it gets really dark so be prepared to take a vehicle or have a flash light handy.
