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.).

SingaporeMattress was rather soft and not good for back problems.
Lovely owners especially the sweet lady who would try hard to make your stay an enjoyable one. The homestay is basic but funtional and okay for the quoted price. Lady owner prepared good breakfasts and tasty meals for lunch and dinner. From the upper floor’s dining/common area, one could see a little of the sea (50m away) and definitely hear the soothing sound of lapping waves. Almost right in front of the homestay is a good restaurant right by the shoreline.

GermanyWe had a spider and snails in the bathroom at one night, but I guess that just happens sometimes in those jungle or beach villas.
The owners were absolutely lovely and make you feel like you’re home! They always made us tea and cooked us an amazing dinner one night! Breakfast was really nice aswell! I had problems with my SIM card and they organised a tuktuk and drove me to some shops for free! Unfortunately, everything was closed because it was sunday haha but they tried to help us with everything! We also rented a scooter for a good price here!

ItalyLocated at the begin of the centre of Tangalle. Tangalle has the best beaches around the south coast, not very busy , we prefer this. The guesthouse has a nice family. We did also the laundry directly by the hotel. Breakfast simple and good. Spacious room with AC. There is also a good barber shop close by, nice guy works there!

While the property and the location are both great, the best part about our stay was meeting the owners of Sasagara. The family who own the property are lovely and charming, they helped us plan our days in Tangalle and serve a tasty breakfast and dinner. The space is nice for interacting with other patrons if you like but also very easy to stay private if that is what you're after. The beach is also only a 30 second walk away. One of our best stays in Sri Lanka so far!

AustraliaOne small thing I forgot to mention them: I recommend they put a small broom in the bathroom as, in my room, the shower water drains near the bathroom door. Everything else was perfect there.
This delightful family provide first class service and food in every respect. Very helpful with helping organising transport too. I would love to return to Tangalle and stay there again.

They also helped us to arrange our excursions and transfers. The rooms were really clean and comfortable with good aircon. The villa is right by the beach and you can hear the waves at night which was lovely. There are also lots of restaurants nearby! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

United KingdomThere weren’t any tea/coffee making facilities that guests could use at the property so on two occasions we asked if we could have tea as the hosts had already given us tea on arrival. They were happy to give us tea but didn’t tell us at the time that we would need to pay for it, and we wrongly assumed it would be complimentary as there wasn’t another way for us to make tea. It wasn’t until we were checking out and paying the bill that we saw the tea was added to our bill. As there wasn’t any way for us to make our own tea, it would have been nice to know at the time that we would need to pay for it and know how much it would cost. Wi-Fi was a bit intermittent and we couldn’t access social media on it.
Basic rooms with hot water and a good fan. Great location right by the beach and close to the bus station, shops and restaurants. Nice undercover outdoor seating area. We were given a welcome tea on arrival. Hosts were friendly.
