Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNot much sound proofing from the social area or other rooms. Front door has to be unlocked every time you want to come in but that does add a level of security. Prices for tours and drop off at station are a bit too much.
Clean with comfortable beds and big lockers. Staff are friendly and the accommodation is in a central location.

Malaysiathe heavy raindrops on the rooftop were quite loud, which might bother light sleepers.
Cozy hostel with a spacious common area and the best showers in Nuwara Eliya. Loved the cute chimney that kept the space warm. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. Location is quite central, close to restaurants. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time so I didn’t explore much.

United KingdomThe owner and staff were so so kind and helpful. I got food poisoning on a hike and they let me stay and extra night to recover. The owner delayed his trip so he could check if I was ok and his brother who is a doctor came to see me and got me prescriptions to recover. They were so generous with they time and care. Fantastic people!

FranceThere was nothing I didn't like. It was perfect.
This was PERFECT. Honestly the best hostel I stayed at since I arrived in Sri Lanka three weeks ago. It’s all new, all very clean. Beds are incredibly comfortable (real mattress, real bedsheets). Lockers in the rooms large enough to put a big backpack. Hot water in the showers and really good pressure. The staff are all very nice, available and accommodating. Wifi is good and it’s in the city-center, 2min walk from the bus station. Just go for it.
