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.).

QatarI think Management should work on gardening, need a swimming pool, need some work on ACs and kettles… otherwise property should be 4 star without any doubt.
Everything, specially staff! Every and each staff, they are attentive and caring. Breakfast was amazing, I really enjoyed it. Place is very quiet and facing a rice field. Rooms were huge and comfortable, specially its clean.

United StatesLoved the location of this place, right out in the fields and more residential area. We actually went for a walk around the neighborhood and met so many local people and popped into one of the tiny local shops to pick up some ramen for dinner one night. The room was hugeeeee and very quiet. Wifi was a bit poor but overall the grounds are lovely and the staff were super polite. We were a bit early for the vacation season so we almost had the whole place to ourselves.

MyanmarHotel is far from town, restaurants, shops. Bathroom is dated, but airy. No internet in the room, it only works in the reception area. Most of the staff do not speak English.
Breakfast was very fulfill, presentable. Table was set up in a tranquil garden over looking rice field. Restaurant staff was very attentive and polite. It is a team work to make guess feel at home and they would not hesitate to go an extra mile to make you happy. Hotel is located in the village, peaceful surrounding. Room is big with a lot of storage spaces, 2 desks, closet, double glass doors open to a balcony over a garden. Bathroom is also big as well. Close to historic sites.

AustraliaWe really emphasize to the management to provide a swimming pool to this hotel. This will fulfill all our expectationsto have a dip in the water in a hot day admiring the peaceful environment. This will attract many foreign visitors like us.
We like the beautiful surroundings with the paddy field in the background. The staff including Anjan and Dasun was extremely helpful and fulfilled all our needs.Our breakfast was excellent .Rooms were very spacious. We had a good time.

United KingdomThe hotel was quiet when we were there so not all facilities were in use like the bar. The balcony also hadn’t been cleaned and was full of dirt so we were unable to use this in our short stay.
The rooms were clean and breakfast was decent. The hotel is kept well and the gardens surrounding are pretty. The location is close to old town polonaruwa - maybe a 5 min Tuktuk drive.

Located outside the city, it is a quiet and pleasant place to stay. In all respects, Ruins is a beautiful hotel located in Polonnaruwa. I am thankful to all the employees including the management for helping to make my holiday beautiful.

Sri LankaFloor Tiles were broken in front of the room that could have damage your feet. Kettle was not working. We were a couple but there was only one tea bag there. Tea table arrangement was not apparently clean. Only two soap pieces for the toiletries. Balcony has not cleaned for a long time period. Breakfast was not ready even at 8.30 am. Breakfast was just string hopers and rice with dhal,, chicken and coconut sambal. Staff was busy with a wedding function when we were checked in. Breakfast was presented in the same hall that had the wedding function yesterday night and it was bad foody smell all over. Package was 12k and I do not think that this BB package worth 12k with the experience I had. I wonder how this hotel got 4Star rating and 8.8 in Booking.com reviews.
Location has not much view as shown in the pictures. Staff was fair. Only the bathroom was good.

Germanywe felt very welcomed every day the table for us was placed in the garden; always fresh flowers the hotel has an interesting architectural concept with imitation of local ruins style: dark terracotta bricks, moon stones... very calm atmosphere, even with events there were no noise at all we were very exited to see Sri Lankan wedding in the hotel, all that beautiful guests like a bunch of colourful flowers. I was totally amused seeing bride invitation Kandyan dance, thanks to the hotel team who kindly invited us to see it, I appreciate it a lot the place is well managed; Mr Buwa is very professional and reliable manager, we felt cared about

NepalWe were the only guests in the hotel and reaching after a tiring day trip to Sigirya not really having dinner options given the lack of guests and staff was disappointing. We were offered only one set meal as an option which we didn't want. We had to make a trip to the center to get food which isn't closeby. We opted for a quieter location but if the facility is not fully functional this becomes quite disadvantageous. The room was quite rundown with the shower door and the faucets barely holding up and need of repairs. The room while clean felt dusty from not being used often. Internet connectivity was weak.
We asked for local Sri Lankan breakfast which was good. Shower was nice.
