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.).

United KingdomI wouldn’t say I didn’t like anything but it is basic in nature. It is quirky and possibly in need a lick of paint however none of that distracted from our stay
The views are amazing, the staff are lovely and the host is very warm and entertaining. The food was amazing, lots of new ingredients. Evening meals are a must try when you stay. I Would definitely drop back in if visiting Kandy again, xxxx

Germany- hidden fees and worse exchange rate compared to latest official exchange rate if you pay in LKR (expect to pay about 15-20% more than price on booking) - holes in mosquito net and no towels in the room - awkward attempt to sell a tour with a tuk tuk driver who was connected to the guesthouse
- Nice dinner buffet with a variety of vegetable currys - Old but clean furnishing and bathroom

GermanyThe bathrooms could get a little turnover.
The very best was the dinner Sue made! They served like 12 different curry’s with rice! The were all vegan except for one chicken dish. It was arranged as a buffet and was sooo soo good! Even if you don’t stay here over night, just go there for dinner! But make sure to call first! Breaksfast was also very good. Western style. And sadly a new hotel opened right down the street and they played very loud music. I for myself wasn’t bothered by that. They stoppen playing at around 12pm. The morning were quiet.

United StatesWould have been useful to have him help us with the train schedule - it was delayed by quite a bit and I didn't know how to check. Also, he seemed strangely uninterested in the Temple of the Tooth, telling us not to bother with the drum ritual. We went anyway, and I think it is Kandy's most famous attraction for a reason.
Curry dinner was pretty good. Owner was a bit gruff but a likeable character.
