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 KingdomThe staff at Dickman were excellent. They were expecting us, professional and friendly. The hotel exceeded our expectations and while we were only stopping for one night before heading to the airport, we would have been happy to stay longer. We were surprised with a room upgrade and were grateful for the fruit and water provided for us. The beds are large and comfortable, the room was incredibly spacious and had a lot of personality- at Dickman you're a far way from a soulless, veneer cube. The pool is clean and the outdoor bar/lounging area is nicely laid out.

United KingdomAfter almost two brilliant weeks In Sri Lanka, our stay at the Dickman Resort was the last place we stayed and it was a superb end to our trip. Danushka, Damith, Indika, Dimal, Sankar and Mahindar did everything they possibly could to make our stay as brilliant as it could be. We absolutely loved the facilities in the suite and the resort as well as the kindness from the team - if you have the opportunity, book this place!

ItalySuch a cute friendly hotel, felt like a home away from home. The pool was larger than it looks in the photo's and I loved the colours in my room. The staff are exceptional and helpful in a calm non obtrusive manner. We had a great birthday celebration for my partner and the hotel got cake and birthday bunting around thee bar. It's the most friendly of hotels I have stayed in which included the guests who come back again and again to stay here.

The stay was beyond great. We arrived directly from the airport, tired after a long flight and encountered an oasis of calmness, friendliness and and sincerity. The room was great, the entire place a gem, but above all the entire team working at the property radiates personal warmth that was just unique.

United KingdomThe staff at Dickman’s were sooo lovely. Loved chatting to them, and they gave us super helpful travel tips and advice. They really went the extra mile to help us. The pool is beautiful, we hung out there for the afternoon and had a lovely sandwich from the bar and the hotel even gave everyone a fresh juice on the house. Hotel is really cool, has a pond inside with turtles and fish. Room was great, good size, super comfy 4 poster bed with a great mosquito net. Good aircon. We slept sooo well here. Colourful room with personality. Very clean. Breakfast was not included in our booking so can’t comment on breakfast.

GermanyEven though our stay was perfect, it was not the best value for money and a bit pricey. The bathroom could use a little brush up.
Spacious and clean room with a nice garden and pool (though water in the pool was quite warm). The staff was super friendly . They helped us organising a driver, gave us really good recommendations and even brought us free fresh fruits to the pool. The hotel is great for relaxing after or before a long flight. The restaurant is very reasonably priced and the food is good.
