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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

FranceTerrible reception. Didn't know about our booking. Terrible English. Couldn't answer our questions about transports, or gave false answers. When we asked about bicycles, supposedly a service of the hotel, they just called a rental service and gave us the phone. At checkout, they tried to charge more than twice the price. When we protested they said another price, still too high. Finally they pretended the card machine didn't work. It magically came back to life when I said I would only pay by card. Outside of the reception, public parts have a terrible insect problem, the walls are literally covered by them. At night they become active and you have to walk through clouds of them. It made us too uncomfortable to use the pool. Rooms are okay, except for a stuck curtain and faulty lightbulb. Restaurant was closed for dinner. Breakfast was okayish, but missing any tea or coffee. Overall terrible value for the price, higher than others in the area.
Rooms are large, comfortable and clean.

Sri LankaFirst impression dropped with the way Security Guard responded at the very first time. When a customer comes, all should responded enthusiastically, happily and cheerfully. I did not like the welcome drink served. It is sunquick. Did not expect a hotel to serve sunquick. Should have been a fresh juice. Check in was not smooth. Receptionist should be more welcoming. They bag boys were on casual dresses and slippers and would be better to have a simple uniform. Water bottles were not kept in the room, Mini Fridge was on but nothing was inside. wasting electricity. No tissues or paper serviettes kept inside the room. TV was not working and it is too small.
I like the breakfast served.

GermanyThis hotel has seen its best years some time ago.... The building would need a thorough refurbishment. It also doesn't contribute to the beauty of the place that there is a started (but stopped??) extention construction work of one or more floors. The room was not clean when we checked in: dust and small (insect) exuviae everywhere... No toiletries, and just a rest of toilet paper... Although we booked a long time ago, the room was not adequately prepared to receive guests... it looked as if staff were surprised that someone wanted to check in...
The location is not bad, about half way between the "old" bus station (note: there is somewhere also a "new" bus station) and the city centre (clock tower area). Walking distance to the old bus station and also to the city centre (clock tower area). The swimming pool is a good feature.

Germanyeverything from service, room facilities as there were no towels in bathroom and took more than 30 minutes too get after 3 reminders and that too provide damp towels and when I refused to accept ended giving me pool towels. Initially refused to accept credit card saying machine not working, but then when I refused they got machine working!! Understand a new owner has taken over with political connections who has terminated all staff and hence lack of professionalism in this property.
breakfast was average but ok

CanadaVery dirty and unmanaged property. Rooms are old and tired. Higher floor left unfinished in construction stage. In bathroom window is not covered. Insects and lizards were able to get to the room. No room amenities available like shampoo or shower gel. Definitely not worse the money!
The only good thing about this tired hotel is location. Close to all attractions and sightseeings. But I guess as every place in Anuradhapura.

Sri LankaWe booked two delux bedrooms with balcony one is quite good but other one not, that room tv, and some lights are not worked we called the reception but nobody was there to fix it. Both two rooms has dust on the tables and cupboards. And also the staircase is not cleaned there is full of dust and spider nests. They only maintaining frontal. Obviously WIFI is not working because of signal problems. Breakfast is not buffet they just served what they made. We had string hoppers, dhal curry, chicken curry, coconut sambol. The coconut sambol is not made from pure grated coconut it's tast like 'polkudu', and they have white rice with same curries. We had fresh banana, pineapple, watermelon, papaya slices for dessert. And also bread, butter and the toaster, tea and nescafe packets also were there which we have to prepare ourselves.
The location is very calm, quite place and close to every sacred places. Bed, bathroom and towels are clean, the big room with all inclusive equipment. They served soursop for welcome drink and they welcome us warmly.

Sri LankaReceptionist could have addressed the customers in a pleasant manner. The staff doesn’t know to communicate properly with the customers. When I contacted the receptionist and ask for the menu, he told me that the staff is in a meeting with the owner and they can’t come to the room because of that. Breakfast is not up to the standards and they offered only some string hoppers and fruits. At the checkout also, they didn’t accept card payments.
On the positive side, pool was clean and the place is convenient to travel.
