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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South AfricaThe Venice House is a little far out of town so hard to access restaurants and do some sight seeing without hiring a tuk tuk and driver. Although clean and comfy, the room was a little loud and check in could have been smoother.
The room was neat and tidy and had very thing we needed for a comfy stay. Thank you to Santush for helping us secure a tuk tuk and driver for the day.

Sri LankaGood place for a couple only. The room is not big enough for a family of 3 people. The one who cooks the food is good. His meals were very tasty 😋. Breakfast only gives rice and Curry no variations. We requested to change then only they changed for Roti..

GermanyThe host is truly a wonderful person. He went out of his way to assist us with anything we needed, ensuring that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Whether it was providing local recommendations or addressing any concerns we had, he was always there to help. We felt very well taken care of and appreciated his kindness and attention to detail. Additionally, the price-performance ratio is excellent; we received great value for the quality of service and accommodations. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a welcoming and supportive environment!

AustraliaHotel is a tad dated, needs TLC ... The team is currently renovating and repairing.... Re breakfast - I prefer SL traditional breakfast rather than cold toast, weak coffee. For max of US25 it's a reasonably good place to stay.
Owner Santush provided great service, helpful and responsive. Room was comfortable and clean, extra items requested were provided. Views from from balcony rooms are fabulous, especially at sunset. Location is close to the waterfall... But a tad far from the city/lake. Santush went out of his way to secure a good deal for the Horton NP... We unfortunately cancelled on short notice after we realised that SL wants US$40 entrance fee for the 3h hike. Crazy price. Sorry again Santush for the cancellation. WiFi was great, too

Sri LankaIt's a really beautiful place. The interior decor and also the garden is so intriguing. The owner, Mr. Santhush was really kind and pleasant. He was very helpful. When considering the facilities, it was worth it. The bathrooms and the bedrooms were really neat and tidy. And the Venice House is a great view point. Thank you very much Santhush we really enjoyed our trip.💫💫💫

Absolute disaster
