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!
Staff were exceptionally good and nice. We were greeted with coconut water and cold towel on arrival. Breakfast was stunning. Staff helped us arrange onwards travel by tuk tuk. They allowed left luggage. Best shower we experienced across 6 different hotels in Sri Lanka. Spotlessly clean. Rooms with views had amazing views (hotel is nestled on a big hill). Biggest compliment we can give is that we couldn't stay for longer!

AustraliaAs others have mentioned, there was quite a lot of mould on the ceiling in the bathroom. We had a tuk tuk so could get to and from the property however it is up a very steep hill and quite far from town so it would be quite a trek if you were walking.
The host was lovely and very accommodating, the breakfast was huge and very tasty. The view was amazing.

United KingdomIt was a slightly confusing set up when we got there, I think we were the only guests and we had to find the young man running it to explain to us how things worked, i.e where to go for breakfast and that there is no front door key but they will let you in at anytime night or day, but once we understood everything was great and the staff really were lovely
Beautiful spacious room with balcony and large bathroom, breakfast was lovely, different every day, served by the lovely young man who worked there and a different fruity smoothie each morning which I loved.

GermanyWifi was not avaiable for a whole day.
We stayed here for 2 nights. Our room was very spacious with a comfy bed, working AC and a good shower. The best feature was the great view from the balcony over the city. The B&B is on top of a steep hill, but aTukTuk can get you to and from the city and railway station in no time. Breakfast was also very good. We ordered dinner for one evening that was quite good but compared to other places a little bit more expensive. Staff was unobtrusive and helpful for transport to the train station.

TurkeyHotel is located on a very steep hill and could be a bit challenging to walk up from the city, but we discovered in our second night that there are stairs to the hotel from the main road, which is a nice shortcut.
Hotel was very clean and well maintained. We liked the view, breakfast experience and the staff was very friendly and helpful to us. Considering the price, we were more than satisfied.

GermanyWe had great three nights in this beautiful bed and breakfast. The house is beautiful with an amazing view over Kandy lake, the rooms are really big and nicely furnished and the bathroom had the best shower so far I had in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was so tasty and plenty. The staff was sooo nice and welcoming and looked after us while we had to fight against a fever and cold. They made us even hot water with lemon leaves for inhalation. We can recommend this place with our whole heart. U will enjoy every minute being here.

AustraliaThe bathrooms didn't have a plug point to operate the hair dryer. There were multiple plugs in bedroom that didn't work sometimes.
Breakfast was excellent. The cook was excellent in meeting all the requests. Sri Lankan breakfast had hoppers, milk rice and fish with a delicious sambol. Dinner was equally good. Staff was attentive to all our needs. Rooms were spacious and clean. Beautiful views from the balconies. Beautifully furnished living area.
