Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomWhat an incredible hotel, our favourite for our entire stay in Sri Lanka. The hotel itself is stunning with views of the wilderness and the sea. The pool area is incredible, it's huge and surrounded by trees where you often get monkeys at certain times of the day (they keep themselves to themselves but great to watch), loved the pool bar and barmen too. The rooms are excellent, very spacious with a comfy bed and a pretty cool bathroom. Both restaurants are great - We loved the Sri Lankan. The hotel also arranged safari's for us which was easy to do and was an amazing experience.

IrelandNothing, we loved everything!
Jetwing Yala was amazing. Set right on the edge of the Indian Ocean in the middle of a national park. What more could you ask for. We found the staff very helpful and accommodating in booking safaris, and transport to our next location. The bar area in the pool was fabulous and the service was great, we also used their laundry service and it was great value. Buffet was plentiful and a lot of options from western to Sri Lankan options. We also tried the restaurant upstairs and although it was quiet when we stayed the food was amazing. The Sri Lankan curry was 10/10. We were provided a breakfast box prior to our Safari trip also which was perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel for a treat/weekend getaway if you are wanting a full 'Safari/Relaxing' experience. The rooms were modern and the bed was so comfortable, the turn down service was great too! We unfortunately didn't see the resident elephant but we did see the monkeys both evenings in the trees at the pool, it was amazing!

Sri LankaA very little annoyance was we couldn’t plug our chargers in bedside wall sockets. But we used the one under the table and the one reserved for electric kettle. So no worries there!
The stay was really pleasant. The staff was super friendly and protective. They always taking care of us and our vehicles from wildlife. Our Deluxe double room was simply splendid with more space and really great view of the ocean. The food was really superb, there was a really wide selection of food and desserts.

PortugalEvery night, a bat would visit our bathroom and leave droppings there. I was disappointed that this hotel in Sri Lanka didn't offer us a welcome drink, although it's just a small gesture. Additionally, there were issues during checkout when paying for meals. They didn't accept some of my USD notes, and the staff didn't explain the procedure beforehand. Also, I accidentally opened a bottle of soda in the fridge and was charged for it instead of it being covered by the hotel. Overall, the reception service needs better training and attitude; even simple greetings like 'Good morning' were often ignored.
The location close to the beach and in Yala Nation Park. The comfortable bed, the bathroom and the quiet

NetherlandsThere were very less options for food for vegetarian people. The staff did not understand much of English. The Safari experience was not very good. The hotel also promised us that they would setup barbecue for us. But they did not. The complimentary cake they said they would send was also just a few pieces of chocolate.
The room was really nice and spacious. The hotel is very fancy. They also helped us with Yala Natioanl Park safari.
