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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomAs with many rooms we’ve used in SL, the standards of cleanliness are not good- bathroom particularly. Could easily be a lot better. Also we were asked to move to another room for second night - the aircon (cost €5 per night) did not work properly and it was full of mosquitoes. Not great!
Nice place to stay for a couple of nights before flying home. Good location - easy walk to the beach and restaurants etc. Family are lovely and the breakfast ($4 per person) was great.

SpainEverything was quite okay, the bathroom smelled really bad so we had to keep the door closed all the time. The owner was always there but not very helpful when needed. No food available.
The house was located in a secondary street meaning it was quiet at night and we had very decent sleep during our 2 day stay. Check in was flexible and the owner was happy to welcome us at 4am after our flight. The room also had AC and a ban that worked perfectly well.

PolandIt’s really close to the beach, the room was exactly like in the pictures but what makes this place amazing is Gloriya Mathews family! Extremely welcoming and kind people. It was our first night out of 20 night in Sri Lanka so I’ve waited with a review but now I can write it surely - it was THE BEST breakfast that we ate during our whole stay and what’s worst I tried to find those honey hoppers (or at least I think that was it) during our 3 week trip but I didn’t find anything even remotely similar. So take the breakfast - it’s the thing that you want to go back for. The picture just represents half of the breakfast that you’ll get.

United KingdomThe only downside was the mosquitoes in the room when we arrived. While not a major issue because of the mosquito nets over the bed it still made it a bit uncomfortable moving around the room the first night.
Very friendly staff, nice room and good location. We only stayed for a couple of nights before heading to the airport and the room fit our needs perfectly.

ItalyI don't think they can do anything about that, but there are tons of mosquitoes (like literally so many of them). The mosquito net has many holes.
The family is kind and welcoming. Breakfast is very good but too expensive ($ 4), I never paid that much in 4 months traveling Asia, but there's a lot of food so I guess it's a fair price. The room is ok and there's a fan, which is nice because it's so hot.

SerbiaThe toilet seat was very loose. The mosquito net could be a bit bigger. For an extra 2usd you can get AC. I couldn't do it without since there is no air circulation in the room itself. But the price for the AC is good and they gave me a discount since, technically, I used it only 30h, not two full days.
The host family is really nice. The room is modest but enough. It's a quiet place, so you get to rest. The bedsheets were clean. I checked in at 5am, just called the lady and she opened for me. 1min form the main road, 2 from the beach, 15mjn walking from the big beach. Everything is very close. Overall, I would recommend it.
