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.).

AustraliaSometimes I had to share my room with geckos on the walls… but they kept to themselves so it was okay :)
Really neat and spacious room. Andy (the host) was very helpful, and made me feel comfortable during my stay. Breakfast is served outside overlooking beautiful views - was very relaxing every morning.

United Arab EmiratesThe bathroom shower needs some form of separation to contain the water.
The hosts, father and son, were very friendly and welcoming. On arrival, I was served tea and cookies. The room was clean, neat and the terrace overlooked a beautiful view of the mountains. Breakfast was served in front of my room on the terrace and was good. Each morning I was served fresh juice with my breakfast.

United KingdomWhat a special stay! Andy and Lillushi were so kind and accommodating. The views were incredible and the breakfast was delicious. The room was spotless (only 3 rooms, also no aircon but wasn’t a problem in Ella). We also appreciated that we were a bit out of town (about a 10 minute walk) which meant it was quiet and peaceful. An absolute gem of a place.

A very nice family takes care of the super clean rooms and the extra tasty breakfast and is helpful with any other questions, too. The location is very calm and a perfect place to relax on the terrace and watch the jungle and the neraby hilltops.

Stunning location with amazing views. Great value for money. Lovely fresh breakfast served on your own little terrace. Spotlessly clean. After dinner in Ella, and 5 min,£1 Tuk tuk ride back to our room, we spent the rest of the evening drinking wine on our little terrace, surrounded by fire flies, watching giant squirrels in the durian tree, fruit bats leaving the roost, and listening to the sound of the nearby waterfall. Amazing!!

Great place to stay. Room was very clean and tidy. Breakfast was delicious and served privately on the terrace outside the room which was lovely. Great views and host was very accommodating. Organised lift from the station to his hotel and nothing felt like too much trouble. Can walk into town easily but was nice to be staying out of the very busy ella! Would definitely recommend.
