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 KingdomNothing to note.
The location was great and the host was also a forest guide who took me on a trip which was amazing. The hosts are wonderful and friendly. There was a menu to order food and drinks from. Food was cooked fresh and was tasty. The room was basic but comfortable. I was in a guest room rather than the villas.

Our time in the jungle at Rainforest Holiday Inn was really nice! They picked us up from the bus stop in Mederipitiya and took us to their lovely place in the middle of the jungle. We did a whole day trip at Sinharaja with Sareth which was amazing! He’s a really good guide and will spot any animal in the jungle :)) The food that his wife cooks is amazing and they give you really bis portions ;) Just walking around in the area is really nice too and they also showed us some places like a river really close to the house where you can take a bath :))

Sri LankaThe hosts Sarath and Vidya really were the nicest hosts we’ve had for a long time. We were welcomed with a delicious watermelon shake and felt as if it had been our own home. The view on the terrace was phenomenal. We also booked a rainforest trekking tour with Sarath as our tour guides and he answered every questions thoroughly and even took some pictures for us. Because of the political situation we had to stay a night longer than planned due to the curfew. Our hosts made sure we feel more than comfortable and even took us to their friends house and made us feel like family. And the bathroom has been the cleanest bathroom we’ve had during our whole backpacking trip in Sri Lanka. We really recommend this place!!

IrelandI particularly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this family run place. I am a birdwatcher and stayed 8 nights and visited the park 4 times. my spare time was spent on the lovely terrace or walking the small roads and paths in the Valley. Sarath looked after every need in detail with great care! A super host! And home cooked food was top of the range!

FranceFood is really super expensive, like 4 to 5 times usual prices in town. It could be ok, but the accomation is "cheap" so travelers with limited budget come, and of course there is no other option to get a meal there. So you're kinda trapped.

AustraliaThere was no kettle in the room as per the description. The shower curtains were mouldy and my friend’s shower did not work at all. The owners barely spoke to us and we felt neglected as they didn’t offer tea or coffee or breakfast choices. There is not really a garden , just a few plants. There was no comfortable seating outside so that we could sit and enjoy the view. Our driver’s accommodation was being built and smelt strongly of paint fumes and was not comfortable. My room had a large window that backed onto the owners’ living quarters. The glass wasn’t see through but the bright light left on all night in the other room shone into my room making it hard to sleep. There was rubbish on the ground around the guesthouse.
The wifi strength was good and the bed was comfortable. We chose this place based on the excellent reviews but were so disappointed. We left after one night and moved to much better accommodation for the same price.
