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...).

LatviaPlumbing a little worn. Very weak water pressure at times.
Nice, quiet place outside the village center. In fact, it is a small apartment - a bedroom, a kitchen, a wonderful terrace. Good parking space. Stable internet. The host is very nice, good breakfast.

United KingdomThis was our favourite stay in our 2 months in Sri Lanka. The room is a great size with a little kitchen and breakfast balcony area. Set in really nice garden. Really quiet and the owner and his wife are lovely. Very helpful and kind. The place was very clean, we got our towels and sheets changed without asking. There is also a washing machine you can use. Breakfast was great with lots of food. Kettle and fridge in room. Think we extended our stay about 3 times! Will definitely be back. Thank you! Yan & Claire

GermanyIn case you'd like to go to the jungle beach you should have something to drive with. Otherwise it's going to be a long hike. But we made it, so it's possible without tuk Tuk or motorbike as well.
Beautiful place! You feel like beeing in the middle of the jungle. You can see and hear lots of animals like monkeys, peacocks, squirre and many others. The room is very big. We had our own balcony with a beautiful view, our own kitchen and there was even a washing machine in our room. The host is a very kind man. He showed us all the plants in his garden like starfruit, pineapple, avocado, banana and so on. The breakfast was also very good.

We liked that the accomodation has a washing machine. The breakfast was nice too on a quiet terrace in the jungle. We would definitely visit Turtle Lamp again if we go back to Sri Lanka.

IranIn addition to beautiful terrace, it was a private big kitchen with all furniture attached to the room. It was also a washing machine available in the room. The owner was very friendly, polite and supportive. The local breakfast was very delicious. The fresh juice prepared from the properties' garden was awesome. The room was in the first floor with some steps that was not a problem for us. The path to the villa and the villa`s yard were very beautiful.

United KingdomOur room did not have air conditioning and was so hot even with a fan. There are two rooms here one with and one without aircon so maybe consider that if that bothers you. Internet was very slow, we used data instead.
Friendly owner and large comfy bed with mosquito net. There is a kettle with tea and coffee and a fridge. In a quiet area 20 walk from the main town/beach with but stop at the end of the drive and 10 minute ride to Galle Fort/Station. Lovely Breakfast and dog!
