How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewFor the price it’s fine, the place is clean but there are many ants in the room and also in the bed.
It is not so far from the main street but it is a rather dark alley at night and there are many dogs that throw themselves at you, in addition that every time I wanted to go back in tuk tuk or motorbike in google gives another location and I got lost many times (the owner went to look for me twice) the man is very nice and responds to messages, but the woman is another story, I have asked them for poison to kill a cockroach that I found in the room and also be able to eliminate a little ants but the reaction of the Woman was super rude even saying that it was my fault and that I had to leave the place. In addition to the communication problems due to the language. There are also two older adults who sleep and take care of the property but after 6 or 7 in the afternoon they close the door with a lock and you have to knock on the door, which seems a little restrictive to me since if you go out at night and come back in the early morning you have no way to enter the house.
We give every guest a key to the room and the key to the downstairs door, and we gave it to you too. They are not closing the door because of a problem with you, but only for the safety of the house. You went out the first night, the landlords were waiting for you to come home, but you didn't come home until the next day. You didn't tell them you weren't coming home that night. Later that day you came and scolded them rudely, saying that there were ants and cockroaches in the room, which they checked and found nothing you told them. It seems from those things that you were drunk the other day and didn't understand anything we said. Your behavior has been recorded on security cameras. We do our best to clean our guest rooms and we did the same for you. Anyway, thank you very much for coming here.

Verified reviewClassical Sri Lanka'n guest house style, Couple living entrance floor, guest staying upstairs.
Nightmare! I stayed here 8 nights, my big mistake I payed all advance. I extended on booking.com after make 3 nights but they didnt accept online for no pay more commission to booking.com but Its not my business, its something between booking.com and them. Sleeping, impossible. bed creaks at the slightest movement in bed Shower, not possible, bcs most of the water leaks out of the broken hose before it reaches you. There are two ways to get here from the main road. 1 road 6 corner, other 9 corners. I hope your mobile battery no finish after darker, bcs you may probably step on dogs lying on the road. The thing that saddens me the most is, after check-in I want soap and toilet paper, she gave me used soap (not hygienic), 1 day after they took toilet paper back. They said they would fix the bad creaks and the water problem in the shower, but they didnt. They said they would do it every day but they didn't. They made fun of me. About breakfast, they didnt offer me:) Yes you can say "why you didnt want" hey! There is no another guest at place, how I can disturb a housewife while she is doing housework. About room, all kind of bug. When I made the payment on the first day, they said they would give me the change the next day, but I was only able to get it on the day of check-out, despite asking several times. 8 nights, same towel, same sheet. Internet doesnt work good my staying period, maybe they fixed after me.
If so many things have happened to you, you booked for three days and then extended it and stayed for eight days, it is funny to us. There is no breakfast for your reservation, please check again.
