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.).

New ZealandNothing, the stay was one of the best in Sri Lanka.
Beautiful boutique hotel slightly off the beaten track. Gorgeous pool and surroundings. Had a two day Ayurvedic treatment which was divine. Highly recommended. I had a medical issue (filling fell out) and it was dealt with quickly which was awesome. It’s short stroll to the beaches which are sublime, a super lovely place to chill out and relax.

United KingdomWe loved our stay at Villa Lyvie. We chose this as a bit of a treat during our backpacking trip, and it exceeded all expectations. The room was very comfortable, the food was delicious (best coffee of the trip!), and the pool a dream. The entire atmosphere is so relaxing and calm. Alexandra and her mother are perfect hosts, we felt really taken care of yet also as if we were in our own private villa! We also both sid a full day of Ayurvedic consultation and treatments and really enjoyed it. They have created something very special here, and we would return in a heartbeat :) thank you! ❤️

SwitzerlandNothing.
This place is run by Alexandra and her Mom. They are french, but are as well fluent in English. Both are perfect hosts and let you be part of the family. The rooms are spotless clean and nicely furnished. Especially with their beautiful garden they created a place of harmony, real paradise. The pool is shady very nice to jump in after a hot day. We profited to have dinner inhouse: very jummy. If you are lucky you might try Mom's chocolate pudding. The best I ever ate. Try as well the nearby restaurants on the beach she proposes. The tuktuk driver they work with is a very good guide. Alexandra proposes excurions you can reach by tuktuk who are away from the touristic hot spots. We had the chance to accompaign Alexandra and her Mom to a orphanage they support. We profited to the a donation (rice, lentilles, sugar). It's an experience away from the normal touristic stuff in Sri Lanka.

AustraliaI enjoyed a lovely 3 nights here. The room was pleasing and the bed very comfortable, and the staff helpful and friendly. I enjoyed being at the villa by the pool so much I hardly left. The beach is only a 10 minute walk away. I enjoyed 2 traditional massages while there. They prepared a lovely lunch on request. I felt so safe and cared for as a traveller on my own. They supplied a rickshaw as I needed. If you want quiet and beauty and caring staff - this is for you.
