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.).

RussiaBeware of the low beam on the terrace!
The room was nothing special but quite good. The main advantage is the ocean right next to the terrace. One of the best beaches on the northern side of Sri Lanka.

ItalyThe rooms only have windows on the hallway so that there is zero change of air. The toilet has no windows but it has some holes in the wall communicating with the toilet of the next room, which is quite disgusting.
The location is perfect, the beach and the terrace are really nice and the staff is so kind.

GermanyTV in our room did not work, bit we didn't mind too much.
This place is located directly on the beautiful Dutch Bay Beach. It is peaceful and quiet and there is good food next door. Water is clear and they arrange boat tours for you far from quarrelsome Uppavelli and way more fair. The house is simple and clean, beds are comfortable and there is well working WiFi and AC. A total recommendation!

Manager is really friendly and helpful. Very close to an excellent Indian restaurant. Short walk from the Fort, a bit of a longer one from the bus station. Beach outside is quite nice and makes it very easy to organise diving trips.

United KingdomThe break in the bathroom wall meant I could hear VERY clearly the men next door doing their business in the toilet. I was privy to all their LOUD conversation until midnight then again at 3:30 in the morning. On the 2nd night I was the only guest and the employee finished at 5pm. No staff on the premises. There was no obvious way to get help if I needed it. No 24 hrs reception as indicated on booking.com write up.
Property is on a clean beach edge although there were various boats out in front. The location is great for seeing the Temples , Fort, and Church. The employee tried very hard to sort things out, he is the treasure at this place There was a kettle available so you could boil water, make tea etc.

GermanyThere was a beeping sound in the main room which went on all night. We didn't mind too much and it didn't affect our sleep but we heard it a bit quieter in our room still.
Very nice terrace with a great view. The host is very friendly and helpful. A nice coral reef is just 10 min walk along the beach. Everything is very clean and the beds were comfortable.

United KingdomArrived to find the hotel was being renovated. No common or seating areas available. Owner was incredibly grumpy, and seemed annoyed when asked to provide basics like a blanket for the bed and drinking water. No drinking water, tea, coffee available - not expecting a huge breakfast buffet or multiple meals, but no way to get even a basic drink, and nowhere to sit apart from inside the room.

Sri Lankavery unfriendly staff who seemed very surprised we had arrived despite having a booking. it was a young couple who barely spoke to us and spend most of their time sitting on the sofa together staring at us every time we walked by. it was a different guy at the desk when we checked out who also barely said a word to us. very strange vibe and happy to leave. oh and we asked about wifi and was told there was none.
good location. rooms were clean and there was hot water
