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.).

United StatesWe rented one speed bikes from them for 1000 Rs each. No baskets and both bikes needed the bearings repacked. Later we rented bikes at Polonnawura for 400 Rs that had gears, baskets and no bearing issues. It’s ok to charge a little more for convenience, but the bikes need to be maintained better. We went to sleep at 10 pm one night and then heard loud karaoke singing. I messaged the owner who said he would be done in 10 minutes! Shocking that the owner didn’t even show consideration for his own guests!
Quiet neighborhood but easy to walk down the dirt road across the RR tracks to get into town in a few minutes. Beautiful yard, nice tables to sit on the patio (but we didn’t because it was too hot in the day and mosquitos at night). Comfortable bed. Room had electric kettle and mini fridge, plus a desk. Wi-Fi worked fine. We ate our own oatmeal and didn’t try their meals.

Rooms were comfortable with a nice hot shower and close to get anything you need. They also have a nice garden area.

CanadaOnly great things to say about this place! Hot water, great water pressure, strong AC, big bed with good mattress, pillows not too firm, great location and great set up. Wifi works well! Room has lots of space and storage to put your things, has a huge mosquito net, and stays nice and dark if you like to sleep in! Otherwise the lighting is great and opening the windows allows a lot of natural light. Right outside your door you have a nice outdoor space with your own table and chairs. There is a beautiful garden courtyard too. You get a close up view of monkeys running around on the roof! There are only a handful of rooms so it won't get overly busy. We rented a push bike to check out the archeological sites, it was an easy 15-20 min or so ride. A tuk tuk to town/food is about 220 rs so you're close to all you need. Great price, they also offer food which we had the breakfast and it was exactly what we needed. We were treated to fresh juice on our arrival. We only stayed one night as we were just traveling through, but I would easily stay here longer, they have definitely put all the work in to make this place a treat to stay at. We rank this place within our top 3 in our month in Sri Lanka, and we have stayed at some great places all throughout the country. Highly recommend!

FranceThe bedroom could get a bit humid because of the shower, and maybe because of the season beginning of January (raining season just stopped). A window that could open in the bathroom would be nice.
Familyrun Bed and Breakfast in a quiet corner of Anuradhapura that has been built by the hands and hearts of the very kind and considerate owners Levi and his wife! Levi showed us the pictures of the impressive building process (he even made his own bricks!!) and the making of the garden. Impressive! The result: A cosy, intimate and green oasis where we enjoyed coming back after visiting by tuktuk the interesting old town of Anuradhapura with its temples with a guide, and the other beautiful religious point of interest in Mihintale. The city centre of the new town is in walking distance. Need a place to relax and enjoy this part of the cultural triangle don't hesitate just go :-)!
