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 reviewBreakfast was not so good. The room is small.
I have told well about my place on booking.com but when you come to my place I told you if you don't like my place then go to other places.

Verified reviewWe stayed at Wine Tree House as a family with 2 small kids. The stay was very pleasant and Mahesh was the best host who really took care of us, he was very helpful and made the best breakfast in whole Sri Lanka. This place was definitely a great choice and the best value for money. Thank you

Verified reviewWe came back to Maheshs beautiful place after 2 years and regret that we had no time to stay even longer. Mahesh created a small paradise: watching chipmonks, peacocks, colourful birds from the terrace while drinking a cup of tea is so relaxing! You can even have snorkelliing masks for free or use his own bicycle for short trips. Delicious breakfast and dinner you can order here. Mahesh helps in all things, is a wonderful attentive host and a lovely person. Thank you so much for this beautiful time.
Nothing at all!!!

Verified reviewIt was the best booking for a trip to Sri Lanka. Clean and comfortable room, beautiful garden with birds and animals and the most wonderful host. There is a small cozy beach nearby, and the center is 5 minutes by tuk-tuk. Definitely recommend!
Nothing. Everything was amazing.

Verified reviewI had an amazing stay, Mahesh is the best host you can wish for and will make sure your stay is unforgettable. When I had sunburn, he got some fresh aloe vera from the garden I could use. Its an hidden gem with a lovely garden, different birds, squirrels and other small wildlife is passing by while I enjoyed breakfast or drink. Located behind the main-street, so no sounds of busses and other traffic. All the places are in walking distance, but I used the bicycle (for free). There is even snorkeling gear u can use for free. The room is just perfect, super clean, comfortable and a good bed. And all the small details are so lovely. I booked for 2 nights and stayed 8 :). It felt like home and can recommended everyone to stay here.
Nothing, could have stay much longer.
