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 KingdomThere is no aircon. We upgraded because some rooms haven't got hot water but to be fair i didnt need a red hot shower and just used the normal shower.
Lise and Yan greeted us like old friends. What a wonderful place to stay. The view from the balcony was really relaxing. Could sit out at tree top level with all the bird life. The food that Lise cooks in the roof top restaurant is incredible and authentic Italian. We stayed for 5 nights and ate there every night because it was so delicious. Its situated in a really good area close to the beach and other places to eat and drink if wanted to. We saw lots of turtles and had a wonderful time. Thank you so much. Darren and Joy.

Sri LankaHIGHLY RECOMMENDED We had a wonderful time at my home guesthouse. Just off the beach. The room was lovely and clean with many extra touches which made the stay very comfortable (mini fridge and huge beach towels. Bathroom with plenty of towels and toiletry...) The balcony was very private and a nice place to chill whilst the rooftop terrace and restaurant is the place to be to enjoy authentic handmade Italian food by Lisa who is a maestro in the kitchen! And best of all was the warm welcome of Yann (french) and Lisa (italian) who gave us all the tips on the best spots and activities around. Away from the busiest tourist spots, we swam with wild turtles and go on river safaris to see the crocodiles without the exploitation of animals which can be seen in other beaches. Yann and Lisa made us feel like visiting friends. We will be back!

The best accommodation I could choose. It is a very nice location. The name describes what my experience was like. I really felt at home! Very nice room with terrace, the restaurant on the top floor helped when I didn't want to look where to go for dinner, the food was great! Thank you very much to the hosts, they can give great advice and will take care of you like your mother! When I go to Sri Lanka again, I know where I will be staying :)

United StatesMy stay was just as things were starting to open again after covid restrictions. This was both good and bad. It meant things were very quiet, but it also meant that not all restaurants or attractions were open yet. I trust things will be continually picking up!
There were a number of things I truly enjoyed about my stay at My Home Resort. It is in a very nice location. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. It had all needed amenities. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The porch was a wonderful place to relax (and work). Most of all I appreciated that the hosts made the "My Home" part of the "My Home Resort" a truly appropriate name. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!
