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.).

AustraliaTricky roads to the hotel. However, in hindsight, had we noticed & followed the signs posted at junctions, we would have found the hotel easily.
Glorious vistas from the dining area & our room. Eclectic, quirky decor. Excellent breakfast- loved the omelette & string hoppers. Danushka & team were fantastic hosts! Thank you!

United KingdomMy only fault was the pillows smelt a little damp but on the grand scale of things this was extremely minor.
The property was tucked up in the hills away from the smoggy town. The view was over the valley and it was nestled deep in nature.. the staff were all so friendly and accommodating even letting us use the kitchen…

United KingdomPerhaps a little too inaccessible in its location away from town for Pick me and Uber drivers. Would have liked at least one more usable socket in the room as I had to share the kettle with my charger and the mosquito deterrent.
Beautiful view from my balcony. My room was clean on arrival and facilities were adequate for my needs. Breakfast and evening meals were good and my host, the manager, and his staff were all friendly and keen to please.

NetherlandsThe spectacular view is because of how high the hotel is situated. It is therefore nearly impossible to walk to any destination and a tuk tuk ride is almost scary if you're from a flat country.
What a view over the city of Kandy, this, combined with the knowledgeable host is all we needed to have two pleasant days. The staff is very helpful, the food wonderful and the room we had spacious for the five of us.

NetherlandsIt's a very very charming boutique hotel. It has an Italian design. The manager speaks good English and knows what hospitality is. He organised everything for us, was genuine interested and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is also good. And it's easy in this hotel to also meet other travellers (with families). The views from the hotel are stunning, it's a little bit out of the city center but therefore also nice and quiet.

United Arab EmiratesThe staff were amazing! So nice and helpful. The room was big and exactly as advertised. We loved the balcony to watch the sunset. The kids loved cooling off in the pool after a long day. It’s definitely an interesting drive up the hill from Kandy but so worth it for the views. The food was excellent! It is cash only so just make sure you bring enough ahead of time. Definitely recommend this hotel!

The Change Hotel was exactly what we were looking for. a locally run hotel with incredible views from its hilltop location. Our family room slept 2 adults and 2 children comfortably with an amazing view of the valley and mountains surrounding the area. There is a swimming pool perfect for a dip after a hot day sightseeing. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend and would come back.
