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.).

South KoreaThe restaurant food was not great and took long to get food and drinks. It said breakfast started at 7:30am but nothing was ready and we ended up not being able to eat breakfast as we had to leave early.
The location on the beach was great. They had nice lounges to lie on. The room was dark but great sea view. Had mosquito nets.

CanadaOur room had a roof and it's not all closed with the other room. So we can hear what all the people say in the other room. There is not a lot of space in the room and the pictures are not exactly the same than on booking. The price is a little bit hight but I think it's because we are directly on the beach. If I come back to Unawatuna, I will take an hotel more far from the beach and less expensive. But if you want to be on the beach, it's a really good option. I did not like they ask us to pay directly when we arrive and it was the only hotel asking that.
The hotel is directly on the beach and it's an amazing experience. They have mosquito net. The staff at the reception is really nice. They have hot water and a really good shower. On the third floor, we did not hear the music from the beach.

United Kingdomwe were promised a room on the first floor, offered us ground floor, showed them the email requesting the first floor and their confirmation of our room on the first floor, got given a room on the third floor, very small but good view of the bay, in need of redecorating.
The staff were all great, however the cleanliness lets this hotel down, the location is second to none, poor decoration and a good overall of the facilities would help.

Welcome was horrible and they got messed up with my booking and last moment called and informed me that they had to cancel the booking due to repair in the particular room. Finally, management informed that it was a mistake. No polite at all. Service is not up to the standard.

Sri LankaThe rooms were leaking. The bathrooms did not have amenities like shampoo. The beds were not comfortable, and we were not provided with bed linen. The rooms did not have a plug point to charge our phones. There was no hot water kettle, although tea packets were provided.
The staff was nice, competent, and helpful; we were even given a room upgrade. The location was on the beach, so beach access was immediately available.
