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.).

IsraelThe place has potential. It can easily be turned into a great place with a few changes. 1. You need to add another lock to the door (the existing lock can be opened easily by pushing the door). 2. There is good internet reception in the restaurant, all that is missing is to add a range extender so that the internet can be used in the rooms. The topic of the Internet is super important. 3. Renovate the shower, the shower head is fixed at a horrible angle which makes it very difficult to shower.
The hotel is located on an amazing beach. The owner of the hotel is very friendly and happy to help with any request. highly recommend

great location and supernice stuff. superfood value for money (ac room) and awesome local food (super fair price, not like other places closer to city). u can even see monkeys in the afternoon passing the place for the tree fruits. swimming not possible like at 80% of this beach due to currents, but overall the area is a paradise. close to some other more expensive Ressorts.

United KingdomI must say its peculiar accommodation, wooden cabin, with windows not fitted properly, big gaps between frame and glass, also gaps in walls 😄 so would be interesting in winter... Bathroom is with concrete floor in shower and you have a feeling it might separate from the room when you move a bit harder or faster 😄 I had to ask for toilet paper and soap and later on even for blanket for night as there were none of these things. But honestly, we liked it very much. All these things were small details and the room was so different from everything else we have stayed at while in Sri Lanka.
Location is right on the beach. The accommodation has a restaurant, we had breakfast included and dinner we had was absolutely awesome and for great price (definitely order sea food platter for 2!). We had upstairs room, so view on the sea and beach was nice. Wifi worked. I guess we were lucky because we didn't have problem with noise (apart from sea, it was REALLY loud! 😄) Happy.

PolandThe door's lock is weak, it will not stop the person with bad intentions. Breakfasts were available just from 8.30 AM - definitely too late if you get up for morning swimming.
The main value is location - just on the marvelous Tangalle beach. The room was OK, almost with the sea view, breakfasts and other meals in the restaurant were fresh and tasty. A/C worked well, as well as the boiler.

United Kingdom2 things I didn't like - we paid for a sea view but didn't get one (well, it was a side sea view but you had to peer through the bushes to get a glimpse of wave!) and the window panes in the toilet/shower were quite low and clear glass so anyone could look in - we hung a sarong up for privacy!
It was right on the beach on the quieter side of Tangalla. The food was very tasty there and the restaurant was fairly busy. The staff were friendly.

United KingdomLocation right on the beach so beautiful views at meal times from the beach restaurant. Owners were super lovely and helpful and arranged activities for us. Local food was home cooked and delicious and great value for money. Room had aircon. Could do with maybe some mesh screens on the bathroom windows as quite a few bugs and lizards could get in, but that’s to be expected in Sri lanka.

- The staff were friendly, professional, and very accommodating to our needs - The on-site restaurant offered great tasting food and drink options - The proximity to the beach was fantastic (despite the sea view being partially obstructed) - The room itself was very well sized for two travellers

AustraliaThe walls and floor were not sealed ants and insects came in. Only a fan in the room, they are very small and held the heat. You couldn’t not open the windows as monkeys were present and squirrel’s. The front windows were sealed shut. It’s was terribly hot! Facilities on the beach were dirty and run down. The worse part I think the sewage pipe ran under our room every time someone pressed the button (not in our room) you could smell it in our room!!!!
The staff were great especially the new guy that only started two weeks ago.
