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.).

GeorgiaI booked room with jacuzzi. On first night it was not working, plus it was dirty. At the same time, hot water was pouring only for 2 minutes in shower. Mirror in the room was also dirty. On second day after reporting those things, maintenance was done 🙏
Breakfast was just fine, location is great since you have amazing view of ocean and nature.

Sri Lankawe booked full board, for lunch they had a set menu no other option was provided. For dinner, it was mentioned my dish comes with yellow rice but it came with mash potato which they didn't ask prior for change. A white cat is coming near to the plunge pool area and had snacks which were kept on the table. Morning breakfast we weren't asked for our choice, English breakfast was served without bread and butter. Overall going for the full board option wasn't the best idea think should go for al-cart.
The room was spacious, liked the ambient from the shower to the direct plunge pool. When it comes to food seafood was good and fresh. The staff was friendly. We ordered al-cart food for snacks, it was fresh and good. The view from the rooftop restaurant is beautiful and loved the wind. Overall beautiful hotel and relaxing.

Sri LankaThe power went off and due to fuel shortages, the generator couldn't be switched on. Although it is a private pool, there is a chance of people being able to look from the corner of the main pool. It is a low chance but better find a way to address that.

IrelandGym was barely useable. Machines were rusty and old and some weren't working anymore (wires hanging out). A lot of pictures shown are from the private villa rather than the actual hotel. For what we paid and with the 5 star rating we expected better facilities.
Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. Room was lovely and clean. We got a room which led out to the pool which was the highlight. Nice location, only a few minutes up a hill from the main town. Views were lovely from the pool.

AustraliaWe booked 6 weeks in advance and were messaged the morning of our booking to be told they had over booked and our room was no longer available. They could however accommodate us in a n inferior room for one of the nights but they would prefer we cancel and they would ensure we receive full refund!!!!!! Disgusting. We couldn’t find similar alternative accommodation so still arrived at the property. After much discussion we did still stay involving changing rooms during our 2 night stay. The story changed from being overbooked to there being maintenance issues. It was very disappointing and we certainly did not get the room we had requested. The polished concrete floors are a danger. The food was ordinary. WE WOUKD NEVER BOOK HERE AGAIN.

Sri LankaWe were a bit reluctant to book the hotel actually due to a couple of negative reviews. However, once we arrived to the hotel, they had completed its refurbishments and the atmosphere was very relaxing. We booked room only basis and bought our meals from their ala carte menu. It was a bit overpriced but the food was amazing. Thank you Villa Thawthisa for your great hospitality!
