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.).

United KingdomThe beds weren't the comfiest.
I liked the family who owned the place. Especially the elderly lady she was lovely. She might kill you with the amount of food she will try and give you for breakfast!!! Mosquito nets on the beds, great shower, a short walk from the beach and restaurants.

United KingdomNothing to say here!
Alone, the apartments are probably like many others that you can find in the area. However, it's the wonderful host 'Wimala' who makes this an exceptional place to stay. What a wonderful lady, she is so devoted to looking after her guests, she really will do anything for you! As for the many amazing reviews about the breakfast, I really cannot argue...a wonderful selection of fruits, noodles, spicy onion, toast, marmalade, samosa and more! Really cannot recommend Wimala BB enough! Thank you, Wimala! Ps .look out for chipmunks and mongoose from the balcony! Amazing to see!

Belgiumfor that price and this host there is really nothing to say. More comfort is for another budget, it's as simple as that.
Wimala is an amazing person, hosting, cleaning, cooking and warmly welcoming the guests by herself. She's got some good language skills and will astound you with kind gestures. The homestay is in the background of the fancy beach side resorts but only a 2 minute walk from the beach, quiet, surrounding garden. I only booked one night as a pitstop on the scooter between Negombo and Thalpe so I took the smallest room, which can be quite hot. Wimala brought me a remote fan to help with that. And oh, the breakfast was AMAZING!

SwedenI enjoyed the peaceful and chill atmosphere. Also liked having breakfast on the terrace. I stayed in the big room upstairs which had a good working AC. The breakfast was enjoyable, i always choose sri lankan options. The Lady that runs the place is very friendly and helpful. My two nieces that stayed with me also really enjoyed staying here.

RussiaOnly one power supply in the room (I think you can ask for adapter, but we have no need, so I mention just for guests to take into consideration)
The owner is a super polite lady, she really matters if you feel comfortable; gives fruits from her own garden which are really sweet, and food at all is delicious (big portions, and even asks if you want any more)

Czech RepublicIt was very friendly and quiet place near from beautiful beach with very kind host who makes a great beakfast (a lot of fresh fruits and every day different food). The room was small but sufficient. The hosts picked up at the airport and during our stay, when we needed, they drove us in the tuk tuk somewhere. There was family atmosphere, we felt there like at home. I definitelly recommend this accomodation.
