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.).

Great stay, very memorable breakfast included (I’m writing this 3 weeks later and it remains one of the best breakfasts we had at hotels in Sri Lanka) Really great location inside Galle Fort, would highly recommend staying in this area Details - large room with separate walk in wardrobe area, couch, table, chairs, clean and modern bathroom - large comfortable bed - large mosquito net (not actually needed, but I liked the style that doesn’t get in your face but is instead around the 4 poster bed) - AC worked well, was quiet - really nice part of town - owner gave great restaurant recommendations - just around the corner there is the local juice/roti shop on the grass - they were serving all sorts of juices for 100 rupees while the rest of Sri Lanka was costing more like 350-900 depending on how western the place was and these were great juices so can recommend going there!

They were exceptionally kind, the service was wonderful and the breakfast was fabulous. They went above and beyond to treat us like family.

AzerbaijanThere was a specific smell in the bathroom that disturbed us. Also, it was difficult to close the door of the bathroom, especially during the evening, it caused trouble for us.
The room was large, the bed was very comfortable. We had chairs, and a sofa in the room and I was pleased with the room size. Breakfast was amazing, very delicious, and a lot of fruits. The family members were amicable and helpful. If I visit Galle again, I will definitely stay in this place again! :)

Small guest house run by a delightful Sri Lankan family. Excellent location right in the fort area, near the sea. Comfortable bed. Very good breakfast served on a little patio in a quiet street. Easy to get a tuk tuk or just walk around the old Fort area. Close enough to walk from bus and train stations.

MalaysiaThe room layout was unusual as if cut out and cut off from what was a whole house. Small spaces.
Great location close to shops, restaurants and cafes in the Fort area. The amenities are fairly basic but the location made up for any shortfall in comfort. The hosts are very warm people and their hospitality was reflected in their great breakfast offerings.
