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.).

United KingdomIf there was something I didn’t like, the room I was in was near the kitchen so I could hear most things also could hear the guests in the adjoining room clearly.
A beautiful decorated boutique hotel in a good location away from the busy part of the fort but walkable all around. All the staff were very friendly and always happy to help with anything. It was good to see the hotel is making an effort to reduce the use of plastic - water bottles and toiletries. Sri Lankan breakfast was very filling and tasty.

Everything. Perfect service, food and perfect room. It was much better then we expected. We totally recommend. Very well located in the middle of the fort. You can visit everything by foot in few minutes. A great breakfast, western and sri lankan as you wish. A very confortable room with very nice bed, perfectly cleaned and hot water. Good wifi. Free water if needed. A nice small hotel where you will feel welcomed and could relax. Thank you to all the team.

United KingdomNothing!
This hotel was beautiful and perfectly located within the fort (not too close to any noise but within the fort walls). The service was exceptional and so friendly, we had great breakfasts, had laundry done and they arranged a driver for our onward travel. The rooms are tastefully decorated along with the whole hotel interiors and comfortable.

IrelandNothing - we enjoyed our stay very much.
Excellent location on the edge of all the busy Galle Fort area - but only a couple of minutes walk away. Beautiful building and a very comfortable room with all amenities needed. Charming and attentive staff ( Thank you Mohammed and Thank you Hiroshi ) and the management team were also on hand. Really well appointed in style. The courtyard is gorgeous. It is quite deceptive as to how lovely the hotel is inside from the street.
