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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SwedenAmazing friendly staff, delicious breakfast and impeccably clean, nice patio. The staff came out and lit mosquito repellent for us without us having to ask. It is a nice quiet area but maybe 5-7 min to the beach and 10 to the closest restaurant.

GermanyIt was hard to communicate at times and they called their daughter to tell us about tours in the area. She also called us to tell us checkout was at eleven and it was only ten and we were all packed up and ready to go. That was a bit confusing. But all in all everything was really great. I'd recommend this place.
The Bentota Orchid House is a beautiful little homestay. The sitting area outside the room is gorgeous and the breakfast we ordered was really good and so big we hardly finished it. The room was big and had aircon and the bathroom was big, too. It was clean and we had everything we needed. The people who brought us breakfast were always smiling and looked very friendly. The location is great. Just a short walk from the ocean and the city.

PolandI recommend this place. The owners are really nice. Room was clean. They welcomed us with little flours and towel swan on the bed :) and amazing mango juice! breakfast was huge and delicious! We were full for half of the day. And what is important- there was no problem with vegan diet. The owners are supported by their daughter- she answers every question. She helped us with bus timetable. Just make reservation :)

CanadaOnly criticism is that there were some spiderwebs in the bathroom and a couple of small cockroaches in the bathroom. Also the bathroom faucet leaked a little.
Nice room attached to the family home but with a separate entrance from the back. There is a table to sit outside in the back surrounded by a little garden area. Room and bathroom were quite clean. Air-conditioner worked very well. Nice hot shower. Breakfast is not included but the owner can make you breakfast if you ask (extra cost of 1100 LKR). I would highly recommend getting breakfast here. She made so much food for me. Curry, fruit, coconut roti, string hoppers, woodapple juice, fruit, egg, etc. all of it was delicious! WiFi is also very good when sitting inside the bedroom.

BangladeshA bit too small sized room. Perfectly okay for a solo traveler like me.
Good value for money with necessary aminities in a budget room. Had air conditioning system, clean toilet, comfortable bed, hangers, cabinet, WiFi, soap and a small sitting area in front of the room. Close by the beach and the rail station. Lots of restaurants around. The neighborhood is so calm and green. You'll get a fresh natural feel when you walk in the neighborhood. I loved my stay a lot !

Czech RepublicBeautiful small apartment with well mentained garden that is well connected (200m from the train station, not far away from the supermarket) and close to the main attractions of Bentota (the beach, ayurveda resorts, etc.). Run by a very nice family that is always ready to answer any of your questions and arrange anything for a good price for you (be it a bike rental, tuk tuk transport or water safari). The food is excellent and the portions are enormous (definitely one of the highlights of our stay). The family runs also a small shop which means that the supply of bottled potable water is always ensured. Highly recommended!
