How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewThe staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. I especially appreciated their flexibility with my delayed flight and the free airport shuttle!! They were clear, easy and kind. Checkin was easy/simple and efficient. The breakfast buffet was excellent. They allowed me to stay past the required checkout time so I had ease and access to wifi as I was dealing with some gnarly issues.
The room was tiny but fine for a solo person for one night.

Verified reviewWe really appreciated our first night at this transit hotel. It’s just 5-10 min by car from the airport and is located in a calm neighbourhood. Our room was spacious and clean. We could easily block the light from the outside thanks to the sick curtains. The breakfast had a large variety of local dishes, and was served on the rooftop with a nice terrasse. Helpful and welcoming hosts.

Verified reviewExcellent accommodation to get to the airport for an early flight. Since the plug points are UK style and I only had Sri Lanka adapters the staff loaned me an adapter. Room was clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable night's stay. Also they arranged for a lift to the airport at 5am which was very handy.

Verified reviewThis is a really nice hotel. Very clean (!!) - hot water after two weeks in Sri Lanka - priceless. This was the cleanest hotel during our 2 weeks trip. (And we stayed in 6 places). The owner and staff very attentive. Even though we had early flight, they prepared us breakfast. Some omelettes, fruits, warm local dish. It was too much for us at that early hour, but they did a great job. The hotel is located a bit outside the city, close to the airport, so do not expect any sightseeing. There are two-three restaurants around and we received recommendation in the reception. The hotel offers free of charge airport transport, and they supported us event though it was after hours (or before;).
My son complained about creaking bad in kids' room, but the bed in our room was ok. :)

Verified reviewWe had a pleasant stay at Aloe Transit Hotel before continuing on to the airport. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and helped with anything we needed. We were allowed to pay for a late check out, and there was a taxi service to the airport. The room was large, had excellent AC, WiFi, hot shower, and TV, and we had a nice breakfast on the rooftop balcony. The bed was comfy and clean.
Although the room felt clean our bathroom had a drain smell.

Verified reviewI must say that the staff here are wonderful - very friendly, accommodating and genuine people. They made sure I was well looked after throughout my stay and I felt quite safe here as a solo traveller. The pick-up from the airport was great, especially as my flight was delayed. Breakfast was always provided and had a very good selection on offer! I would highly recommend!
