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.).

United KingdomNo complaints. This place deserves the excellent reviews it gets.
Staff are lovely. Very good value. It's worth paying a little extra for a better room with a view. Food is excellent; breakfast is enormous.

Probably the best value for money we found in Sri Lanka. The staff were super friendly and the manager went out of his way to welcome us and help us with our daily trips. We stayed with a toddler and the king suite on the ground floor was a great choice - plenty of green grass to run around barefoot. Good breakfast, excellent rice and curry! Look for the fireflies in the evening!

United KingdomThat our trip wasn't longer. Would love to see pork bacon on the breakfast buffet.
We stayed at the Grand Argyle during the monsoon season and could not have been happier. The rooms are beautifully kept and designed. Each having an open balcony facing the gardens with rocking chairs to relax and take in the ambience. The staff truly care about hospitality and the food was wonderful. Both room service and the buffet every morning. I hope in the future to come back to this wonderful retreat set in the highland tea estates.

United KingdomThe WiFi was a little bit slow. Also one thing to add (although not super important) is the only alcoholic drink available is beer.
Set amongst the tea plantations, it is a beautiful hotel within immaculately maintained gardens. All of the staff deserve a special shout out - they couldn’t do enough for us and were so helpful and kind. The deluxe room was amazing with a nice balcony with enough seating. The room had a mini fridge which is always appreciated. Nice and powerful hot shower, everything was perfectly clean.
