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 LankaI suggest installing intercom systems in the rooms. This would allow guests to easily contact room service and enhance their overall experience.
I had a fantastic stay at the Windy Garden Villa in Galle. The location is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The food is delicious, and the owner is incredibly friendly and polite. I highly recommend this place.

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect!
We loved our stay in Galle with windy garden villa! Wasula, Lanka and Nicholas were such great hosts and went above and beyond to help. We have been travelling for over 6 months and this was by far the best hotel/Homestay we’ve stayed in. The room was clean, the breakfast was delicious and the pool is massive! Galle town centre is only a 5 minute drive and a 20minute walk so everything is close. Also the Turtle sanctuary and beach is walking distance (5mins). We will forever remember our stay here and the guys who run the place made it for us. Thanks again from Anto & Brook

AustraliaA great garden setting around an excellent pool, not too far from the centre., but very private and quiet. Terrific staff, led by Nicola (merci beaucoup!) who create a family atmosphere, providing tasty and hearty western and Sri Lankan breakfasts, as well as dinner. On our last day we had to leave early to catch a train and we really appreciatedic being able to enjoy another pot of the best coffee we had in Sri Lanka, as well as being provided with some breakfast packs to take. The perfect base for Galle.

Sri LankaWe had a beautiful stay and were welcomed with drinks on arrival on our private terrace overlooking the pool. The owners were brilliant and attentive and the breakfast was top notch! While this was located a little outside of Galle centre (still very easily accessible) I’d highly recommend for a relaxing time away from the heat of Galle fort!
