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.).

NetherlandsWhat we didn’t realize upfront is that there is no ‘beach culture’ here; nobody was lying at the beach or swimming in the sea (strong current). Not a big deal, from the excellent pool, you can still see the ocean). Also good the know is that you have the (big) Holy Rosary church as neighbors; which is nice to see, except for the ‘break of dawn’ morning bells; they will probably wake you (maybe depending on which apartment you have); for us it was no really big deal. If you are looking for a full service hotel, this is not the place; these are guarded apartments, with a good front desk, a very nice pool and a gym, yoir own kitchen and dining table but no food options from the ‘hotel’.
What we liked most: - Excellent place for touch down in Sri Lanka; 20min drive from the airport, possibility for late check-in, 24/7 guard at the premises - Very spacious clean apartments with good airco’s, kitchen and dining table; no food is offered, in stead the host encourages you to use delivery options (we used Ubereats; which offered lots of local and international options including groceries) - Stunning seaside views; with some luck you get to see a rare Sri Lankan sunset - Several nice dining options at 5min walking distance; we preferred Pick’n Mix (local food, good value for money) and Edwin’s (excellent Negombo fresh fish) and one very nice breakfast option, 3min walk: the Zen Café - Take an early morning tuktuk to the Negombo fish market; we saw big tuna, marlins, tiger sharks and much more

AustraliaThe hotel needs some attention and maintenance. It is on the Negombo beach, and the furnishings and fittings are susceptible to rust and corrosion. This is evident in the hotel.
The host and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Good value for money. It is right on Negombo Beach - quite beautiful. Very close to many restaurants.
