Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Hong KongWiFi didn't stretch to the actual rooms but this didn't bother me too much. It is quite a journey from town and would cost a lot to travel to and fro. We had our own transport but maybe think about this if you're getting public transport. However, it's easy enough to just stay at the hotel with the restaurant etc.
We stayed here for 2 nights and we loved it. We had a car and could park easily. The surroundings are lovely with a garden and a massive pool. Even with others there, you still had room and it felt quiet. The on site restaurant is really tasty and has an air conditioner bar with a pool table. Rooms were clean and comfy with a mosquito net. The staff were nice and helped us with all of our needs. Kai the dog was super friendly too and loves playing fetch.

Sri LankaEnvironment not clean and muddy, the property was not maintained for several years it seems. Walls of main buildings were dammed discolor. No communication method in the room every time I had to go out and request what I want from the staff.
All staff were very friendly and supportive, meals were good, room also good but not TV in the room. only issue I have noted there is maintenance of the property. If they maintain the location in a certain level, will be good for nature lovers.

Sri LankaI am writing to formally raise a complaint about the unacceptable condition of the room I was assigned during my recent visit on 28 th Upon entering the room, I found it to be in extremely poor condition, with ants present throughout the space, making it completely uninhabitable. Due to the severity of the issue, I had no choice but to check out immediately without staying. Despite the circumstances, I was not offered a refund or compensation, which I find highly disappointing and unacceptable. I kindly request a full refund for the booking as I did not use the room and the condition clearly did not meet even basic standards of cleanliness and hospitality. Please confirm the refund process at your earliest convenience. I look forward to your prompt response.

NetherlandsWe had 2 cockroaches in the room!!! Also there was a really bad smell in the room and bathroom that would not go away. After telling them we could get a different room but the smell in there was the same. The restaurant was bad and expensive and the nearest town is a 20 minute drive away.
The pool was nice.

ItalyMy experience at Hotel 4U Saliya Garden was exceptional. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with arrangements for tours and tuk-tuk rides at reasonable prices. The food was delicious, and the swimming pool was spacious and well maintained. Guests can also enjoy complimentary access to the billiard table, which is always available. The hotel offers ample parking for vehicles, and the room was clean, comfortable, and equipped with a fully functional air conditioning system. A lot of nature and animals around is the cherry on top

SpainWONDERFUL! It far exceeded our expectations, with an excellent quality-price ratio. The owner, Upali, is attentive, welcoming, and caring. His daughter at the reception is efficient, professional, and quickly resolved a small issue for us. All of this with an honest and kind smile. The restaurant is highly recommended, undoubtedly the best in town! The breakfast is magnificent, with superior quality espresso coffee (which is very hard to find in Sri Lanka). The pool is clean and provides incredible peace. 500% recommended!

FranceThis hotel is falling into ruins. A lot of things could be repaired easily like the terrace upper the swimming pool (access forbidden as dangerous). The small room was equipped with a conditioner which was out of order. Only one towel was available by guest.

United Arab EmiratesUnfortunately, everything else was a major letdown. The rooms were filthy, with dead bugs and dust-covered furniture making the space completely uninhabitable. This property, which used to be a good option, is now run-down and poorly maintained. Adding to the frustration, they try to push you into "upgrading" to a bigger room because the one you booked is unliveable. It's a manipulative and unacceptable practice. This place is no longer worth considering.
The location of this property is fantastic, and the kitchen staff deserves recognition for their excellent service and delicious food. Meals were a highlight of the stay, and the team in the kitchen worked hard to deliver a positive experience.
