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...).

SpainEverything was perfect
Damini was super nice, he prepared us an amazing srilankan breakfast. He also arranged us a tour to Lipton tea plantations at sunrise with Omar, who I highly recommend. The hotel has beautiful views fro the top of Haputale valley and everything was super clean and comfortable

IrelandThe restaurant is above the rooms so some noise from chairs being moved. This could be alleviated by putting some pads on the chair legs.
Very friendly and welcoming small hotel. Rooms are simple, clean and spacious, including the bathroom. There is a large covered balcony with superb views. We stayed 3 nights and ate in the hotel as the food is delicious and freshly made. Breakfast offers a choice of western or local food and we preferred the latter, it was so tasty. The hotel is situated downhill from the town centre, so walking there is easy from the bus or train station, but you'll need a tuk-tuk for the return if you have luggage. Also it is very quiet. What sets the hotel apart is the friendliness and service from the staff, particularly Chathura who was so attentive and helpful during our stay. Highly recommended, we really enjoyed our stay.

The view from the balcony would be enough to bring me back to this hotel, but add in the spacious bedroom and bathroom and you have an idyllic mix. Great that they offered a large menu for evening meal, which was delicious and both Sri Lanka and English breakfast. Bonus was was seeing fireflies

United KingdomI wasn't there long enough!
The location is sublime perched on a hillside looking on one side at a tea plantation and a monastery and to distant misty hills directly in front. The hotel is modern and stylish with its patterned brick and polished concrete. The restaurant is spacious and occupies the whole of the top floor with a balcony outside for the view. The food was good and the service was prompt and friendly. The host was particularly warm, welcoming and helpful even volunteering to carry my bags up to the car. The highlight was seeing fireflies set against the stars. Completely beautiful.

Garminy, the manager, and Kasun, the owner, are both incredibly helpful and kind. The food is good. It's really good value for money.
