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 StatesI would suggest adding anti-slip materials to the stairs as I broke my arm falling down them when they were wet from the rain.
Comfortable rooms with a great location in the fort. Rooftop deck and good restaurant.

United KingdomBreakfast is slightly overpriced
The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a walk-in shower. We loved Pirate, the owner’s dog, who kept us company morning and night. The rooftop area is perfect for watching sunset over the fort and watching locals play games of cricket. The location is in walking distance from everything in the fort. Wish we could have stayed longer!

PortugalA very friendly guesthouse with a perfect location in the heart of Fort and a 10-min walk from the railway station. The family who runs the place is super friendly and helpful. They offer an excellent breakfast (they offer a variety of options, i enjoyed a delicious SriLankan breakfast with some of the best rotis i've tasted), and the diner curry is also very good.

Check-in was simple, fast and welcoming and our bags were taken to our room. Our room was next to a communal sitting area and we asked whether we could be moved for the remaining 2 nights. No problem and this one had a new bathroom. The owner manages this small guesthouse very professionally and is able to answer questions and provide advice. On our last morning, he voluntarily dropped us at the bus station on his way to a meeting. The hotel is clean, centrally located and you can see the ocean and people playing cricket from the first floor balcony. There is a roof terrace where we enjoyed a simple dinner one evening watching sunset. All staff are supportive, from the night man who opened up at 05:00am for a Whale Watching trip to the receptionist and young man who delivers luggage & food and the manager who made calls to ensure our missing suitcase was delivered from the airport. Finally, the bill had several meals, drinks etc for 3 days and it was correct.

Czech RepublicNo complaints whatsoever.
More than comfortable and spacy room + spacy bathroom with running hot water (at Sri Lanka even cold tap water is luke-warm, so hot is very rarely provided by accommodation facilities). Cozy and comfortable open-air "social club" space with sea and sunset view in front of the rooms. Terrace available on top of the building but it was too hot to make use of it. Choice from Sri-Lankan- or European-style breakfasts, the Sri Lankan ones were fantastic. Extremely nice, friendly, and helpful owner and all staff. Can only recommend!
