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 KingdomSome of the fixtures and fittings need replacing - taps, the outdoor furniture covers, lights but it is all minor in the scheme of things. I wish there were more two sun beds and they had lounger pads on.
The property is a design delight - really stunning but it is a little tired and could do with a slight bit of refreshing. The people working there were amazing and could not do enough to ensure the property was clean, you had everything you needed and provided fabulous food. The pool is amazing - really good size.

United KingdomThe villa was spotlessly clean and clearly well looked after. The staff were always on hand and really helpful. It was just a gorgeous place to chill and only a 10 / 15 minute walk to the beach, passing lovely people on the way and sometimes monkeys. We would definitely stay again!

RussiaAll floor lamps and some ceiling lamps in the living room do not work, so the lighting is dim and uncomfortable.
A great place to chill with family and friends. The beds are comfortable, the facilities are tidy and clean, and the staff is friendly and knows what to do and how to treat guests well. I would especially like to mention a good set of dishes for serving the table.

GermanyWhat a fantastic place! Everything looked like in the pictures. We had a remarkable time just hanging out at the pole and enjoying the food that Dilhan and his team where preparing. The space was spotlessly clean and the design of the place is very tasteful. We slept very well in our comfortable beds.

We were a group of 8 people staying for just one night. The villa and its surroundings are just beautiful, you feel like in a movie. The pool is clean and big, and the rooms are very comfortable and roomy. The staff was pleasant and very helpful, and the breakfast was just amazing. Even if it is not directly on the beach, it ia just a 5 min tuktuk drive to it. After staying one night we wanted to atay for one more, but unfortunately for us it was booked.

Russiawe have tried to pay for our stay since day 1, but the host kept telling us ‘later, later’. which resulted in him finally bringing out the credit card machine (despite the many times we asked for it) right when our taxi arrived. and of course, the machine was broken and it was impossible to pay by card. ended up paying in euros in god knows which exchange rate, which naturally was not very convenient for us. another thing was, on the first day the host graciously offered us to use his tuk-tuk to go to the market, which we agreed to. and the next day we took it once more to go get food. and on the checkout we saw the ‘2-days rent tuk-tuk’ for 7,000 rupees. the bike we rented for one day ended up costing 3,000 which is double the usual Sri-Lankan rates. and we didn’t even get a chance to ask any questions about that because the taxi was waiting and we were in a hurry. this situation with the payment ruined what was otherwise really beautiful and pleasant stay!
the place is overall fantastic! beautiful secluded place, amazing nature. helpful staff

FranceAs a couple, it was not convenient as we had no privacy because of the staff staying next to the house and very often passing by. Shampoo missing and no shower gel. It's a nice place but not worth the price.
Food is awesome ! Service is great especially Dilhan. The place makes you feel relaxed.
