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.).

Czech RepublicNothing.
Nice quest house in a quiet location. The bed is with a mosquito net so you can leave your window open overnight. Free water + fridge. Little kitchen with plates and cutlery. You can sit in the little garden under the trees. Close to the harbour where you can watch the sunset. Good value for money. Nearby is a good restaurant called Elite, huge portions for a good price.

GermanyIt's a little bit outside the city centre. The Bathroom and also the Room itself could be cleaner. 5000 Rps is OK, but not that cheap.
It's a nice and calm place, which has a huge garden to walk. You can even rent bikes there for free to get to the city centre. The kitchen is super good equipped and clean, which was wonderful. The host was super friendly and welcoming to us and helped where he could. The bus stops from Kurunegala, and Puttalam is super close. Moskito nets are there! The family room is big enough for 3 person.

SwitzerlandBathroom was a bit old. Overall it is not the newest building. The blanket was a sheepwool blanket that looked rather old. One guy that worked at the resort kind of persisted to sell us a safari trip, even tough we already said that we booked one at our next stay.
Big garden where we saw wild peacocks. Dinner and Breakfast can be ordered at the Resort.

United KingdomOn arriving we checked into our room & I was taken away by the smell of 20 moth balls which had been left all around the room (these are very toxic to health) during our 1 night stay I suffered with a very bad headache, not sure if these had brought it on or not, this is the reason we stayed for 1 night instead of 2. I immediately collected the mothballs up & put them into a sealable bag. The person that brings the food & driver was a quite pushy trying to sell us trips & safaris which was a shame because he was nice.
The guys that was working during pur stay was helpful. Beautiful 80acre coconut farm to walk through, even got given a free coconut by the workers which the receptionist kindly opened for us & gave us fresh mangos from his tree. He organised good srilankan food for us which was brought as a take away which got delivered to the accommodation for a small fee. Food was tasty.

AustraliaThe room was spacious and at a very affordable price. The area around the room is so green, you can see a lot of chipmunks, beautiful birds and if you're lucky monkeys too. Ashfal organized for me the safari to Wilpattu National Park for a very good price. If I'll pass again from Puttalam I'll definitely stay again in this nice nature resort 😊
