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 StatesGreat location. Peaceful, in nature and easy to find. The room was really spacious and clean, although a little musty. I liked that there was a lot of space to put all of my things. The dinner and breakfast here were delicious. The owner and his family were super friendly. Definitely recommend staying here

United Statessome minor termite damage and don't forget to bring your bug spray!
The place is on a beautiful piece of property with a little bridge to get to the other side of the lagoon. The staff was super attentive and made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. The units were built by the owner over a 13 year period all quite charming. The breakfast was simple but delicious and fairly sure it was made from scratch. there are other cool places to pop into nearby as well.

Sri LankaThere is nothing much to be improved.
It provides an excellent value for money. The meals that we had under the half-board arrangement is hefty and delicious. The beds are comfortable and the facilities are extremely worthy for the price. The staff is also very helpful and went an extramile to provide us with frequent teas, snacks and also guided us to show the path to Kandakatiya beach

Sri LankaKeep in mind that there is no beach near by.You will have to go by a vehicle to see a beach.So don't mislead by its name. There are so many home files inside rooms which is very unpleasant. There are some dogs sleep on the doormat. Toilets are not that clean. Odder inside room.
Staff is very friendly. They will fulfill your any request.Food was delicious too.

Czech RepublicWe made a last-minute booking. The room did not seem to be cleaned when we arrived, with dust particles everywhere. The bathroom was very poorly cleaned too. We, however, understand that it might be out of season and they did not have enough time to prepare the room as we did last minute booking 1 hour before arrival. We also hoped to get a breakfast for which you must pay extra, but as we wanted to leave at 6, the owner told us it is too soon. It might be, however, again as it was already too late to buy ingredients.
The terrace was nice, as well as the owner.
