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.).

SwedenThe sound insulation in the room wasn't the best, and the internet very slow. Also, the bathroom was not in the best shape.
It was convenient with the restaurant and bar on the first floor, and also with the adjoining pizzeria. They were nice places to sit and work at. Also, the staff were very friendly.

Sri LankaThe room is quite noisy, you can hear loud bus honks and road noise throughout. The door doesn't seem very sturdy, it feels like anyone could break in easily. and the towels seem old and worn. I've seen Some spider webs in the bathroom
The Lion Pub is famous in Sri Lanka, located by the Galle Road. The rooms are decent, but the hotel feels a bit empty. Considering its location and price, it's worth it. Amenities include a bed-mounted TV and functional AC. Bathrooms are clean and odor free, and the place feels safe. Clean bed sheets and comfy beds make for a satisfying stay, though it's not a luxury experience.

Sri LankaI found the noise from the main road to be somewhat disruptive.
I had a wonderful time at The Lion Pub & Hotel. The cleanliness and comfort were outstanding, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout. Plus, having their own pub on-site was a definite highlight. Moreover, there is a food city right across the street, which was very convenient. Additionally, I must commend their excellent room service, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend The Lion Pub & Hotel for a comfortable and convenient experience!

Sri LankaAlthough the place is wonderful, I must point out some shortcomings: There was no kettle in the rooms. We were not given the AC remote by them. We were unable to control the temperature as a result. In addition, the bathroom needed some cleaning. We detected an unpleasant odor, and the surface wasn't clean. Kindly supply a trash can in the bathroom. Before you offer the guest the accommodation, kindly take all of those factors into account. Employees were excellent.
The location is excellent. There are a lot of stores nearby, and I truly enjoyed it. The employees were fantastic—honestly kind and very helpful. There is a really kind girl at the check-in who assisted me with everything. Good-sized space. The bed was comfy. The staff was excellent. worth for the money.

Sri LankaAll the noises from the galle road can be disturbing. Will make them more comfortable if they can arrange techniques to avoid sound from outside the road.
There is a pub and stuff if you really want to have food, liquor and chill. The rooms were clean, safe and comfortable. The staff is really friendly, cooperative, helpful and professional.
