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.).

Sri LankaWe had a very enjoyable stay at the Tree House. The boys running the place are lovely and helpful. Having spent most of our time staying in private rooms at guesthouses, we found this hostel provided a great atmosphere with other travellers to socialise and play games with. Dorm beds weee very comfortable and private. Thanks Tree House team.

United Arab EmiratesWiFi is pretty weak there, so can’t really work from there or plan next steps, but to be honest it didn’t seem like a problem as it gives you more headspace to disconnect and enjoy the amazing jungle vibe. The best are super close to each other and there is not much space in the room to move around, but you will be barely there, so shouldn’t be an issue and I had great roomies, so we just felt cozy.
Absolutely amazing experience staying with Tree House. The hosts are super friendly and have jt all planned for you. Every day you have different activities offered, where you can enjoy Sigiriya and make good friends. The breakfast is included and every day you will get a different delicious meal. Amazing environment and very close to main activities.

GermanyThe bathroom of our dorm wasn't great: the sink got clogged twice, and the toilette didn't flush most of the time
The staff was great, offered a bunch of activities to enjoy and explore the area (sunrise/sunset hikes, safari, visit to the cave temple in Dambulla) Social connections where also encouraged. Nice common area with games, music, drinks, etc

United KingdomThe wifi wasn’t great but it added to the experience as everyone was very social. The rooms had no curtains so you will be woken up by the natural light, but these things didn’t bother me personally. Some better wifi would be handy due to the need to book your next accomodation but can be solved by leaving the hostel and getting 4g in town etc
Lovely social hostel with very friendly staff, the best breakfast and comfortable rooms! Organised trips to the lake, a sunset spot and a small fee for the sunrise trip to Pidurangala rock. Amazing location in the middle of nature, so very quiet and felt very peaceful.

Sri LankaStaying in tree house hostel in the middle of the jungle was a completely different experience. The staff were very helpful, and the food was great! They even let us help prepare dinner with them in the kitchen. We did the safari at ecopark, and it was the best experience ever. I 100% recommend staying here.

United KingdomThis is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed and the staff are so kind, helpful and friendly. Such a lovely place to stay and be at one with nature. We did two sunrise hikes up to Pidurangala and Lion rock which they will drop you off at in the dark. They also organised an incredible safari trip for us to go and see elephants, and rented us bikes to explore the area. They will also prepare handmade food for your breakfast and dinner if wanted. The food is so so good, they cater well to different diets too. The vibe they have created at their hostel is extremely sociable and this is a great place to make new friends too. Generally all around lovely hosts who will go above and beyond to make your stay extra special
