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.).

BelarusThe water wasn't hot, rather warm. Weak Wi-Fi. The air conditioner needs cleaning.
As soon as I saw the photos of this villa, I immediately wanted to stay here. And I wasn't disappointed! The interior design is amazing, with antique colonial-style furniture, decor, and fresh plants creating the perfect atmosphere and mood. The cleanliness, comfort, and attention to detail are admirable. This applies to the room, the common living area, and the kitchen, which is easily accessible. The owner is hospitable, friendly and approachable. Few supermarkets are within walking distance.

AustraliaClose to centre of city on a rise above the noise and traffic. Cargills supermarket is just around the corner and banks and ATMs are nearby. Very short walk into town or along the beachfront to restaurants. Great breakfast and Guyan went out of his way to get some mi kiri (buffalo curd), plus kitul treacle which is now hard to find. The property is new and built in the style of an old Dutch villa. It is new, clean and everything works - especially the air conditioning which is welcome after a day of out and about. It is also a good base for day visits to Mulkirigala, Wewurukannala Vihara and Matara (Star Fort, Old Matara Fort area) or beach visits.

United KingdomWiFi was quite weak in the top rooms and the hot water wasn’t always reliable but they were still OK and could use the communal areas for wifi.
Lovely decorations and good location- near a big supermarket, wine store and other shops. Beach is 5 minutes away and some lovely restaurants for the evening are about 20 minutes away. Gayan is lovely and speaks amazing English

United StatesIt took us a little while to find where the restaurants were that fit our requirements. Once we found out where they were, the location turned out to be good. Only about 20-25min walk.
Loved the quiet beautiful ambiance of old Dutch charm inside and around the property. The room was comfortable, enjoyed the terrace. Nice breakfast and Gayan was an amazing host.

GermanyThe bed was pretty short and a little instabile. The room is missing a mosquito net.
The owner of the villa as well as his employee were incredibly friendly and supportive. They helped us with a laundry service and even arranged a safari tour at Udawalawe with a private driver who took us to Ella afterwards. They did their best to make us feel comfortable at any time. Moreover, they made us delicious local breakfast. They let us flexibly decide on the time breakfast being served and even prepared a breakfast package for our very early check-out. The room was very clean and the AC worked perfectly. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

This place is just beautiful, we really liked how it is designed, modern and clean. The room is big with enough storage for the clothes and there is also shampoo, soup and hair dryer which is not so common in Sri Lanka. It is also short walking distance from the beach and restaurantes. The breakfast was delicious.

IndonesiaBeautifully designed Dutch villa with an eye for details, set in a spacious and peaceful garden. The room is spacious and very comfortable with A/C, clean, and a lovely view from the top floor. Wonderful, thick, white towels provided, comfortable bed. The hosts are very friendly, the husband has studied hotel school, and it shows: top cleanliness, great service, comfort. He speaks fluent English. They serve an excellent breakfast in beautiful white china dishware, from a spotless, fully equipped European kitchen. There is also a washing machine available to do your laundry. The dining-room is very stylish, the lounge is very comfortable, the whole design is proof of knowledge and good taste. The location is ideal: a few minute walk from the center, and a few minute walk from the beaches.
