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...).

FinlandLoved everything! The hotel is clean and the pool was so nice. The bed was comfy and the AC really good. The location is good, just a small walk from the beach and shops and restaurants. The owner and the staff were all so friendly and helpful, such lovely people! We booked the room for one night but ended up extending for three and felt sad to leave. So if you are thinking about booking the place, do it! You won’t regret it :)

United KingdomNo kettle in the room. The description of the balcony should highlight that it is shared with a standard room next door = not totally private
Lovely small hotel located in a quiet area of Hikkaduwa and walking distance to local restaurants and the beach. Sisira and his wife are incredibly welcoming and friendly and keep Villa Tara very clean and tidy. They serve a great breakfast, freshly made to order and with superb coffee. Very large bedroom with a comfortable four poster bed, large balcony (see note below) and a fridge. Nice swimming pool with sufficient loungers.

United KingdomLovely and friendly guys, the owner also came to speak to us and he was very friendly. All staff smiley and couldn't do enough for you, always looking after you as soon as you arrive. Hidden gem, close enough to facilities but far enough away to feel luxury.

NetherlandsA shower next to the pool would be nice (so you can wash your dirty feet from the beach). Everything else is perfect.
Very nice accommodation, with a pool, very friendly staff and excellent breakfast with several options. Close to restaurants and the beach where you can see turtles.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like. Villa Tata was a great find for us.
Quiet and peaceful location but close enough to busy town, bus and train station. The people there are warm and welcoming and go out of their way to make your stay just right. The rooms are cool and comfortable, loved the gardens, the pool, the breakfasts and excellent coffee.
