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.).

Sri LankaCheck In could have been smoother. Firstly, there needs to be a bigger sign letting you know the turning for the hotel (I was on motorbike and it took me a while to find it). Secondly, I arrived late night, called the number on the email, spoke to a woman who told me someone would call be back. Waited for about 10-15 minutes. Not the end of the world but frustrating when it’s late and you don’t know the area well. No breakfast facilities, but options relatively nearby and owner did make me a beautiful Sri Lankan coffee!
Lovely owner. He spoke great English and was very helpful. Large bedroom, with a balcony, good AC and fan.

Sri LankaWe had an amazing stay at Absolute Breeze by Cherins! The place is very clean, with good facilities that made our holiday even more comfortable. The calm and serene surroundings were perfect for relaxation. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and supportive throughout our stay. Highly recommend this resort for a peaceful getaway!

PolandThe owner was a little bit pushy with tuk-tuk and food/drinks, despite declining a few times. I felt uncomfortable having to say "no" so many times. He charged me 4500 lkr for the night, but the price was much lower on booking. I realized only a few days after.
The room was clean and the bathroom was nice. The location was a bit far away on the hill, but it was quiet and had a good view of the ocean. The owner gave me a ride to the Bus stand in the morning and helped me find the right bus.

HungaryThe accommodation cannot be found on Google Maps, the tuk tuk drivers do not know the address. The walls are wet and dirty, ants of different sizes are running around the room. There is no hot water. The center is very far and there are no normal restaurants nearby. The booking phone number is not working. I do not recommend it to anyone.There is no breakfast and it is included in the price.

GermanyLanguage barrier, towels not clean, room not super clean, coffee very watery, very slow WiFi (connection in the room almost non-existent), location not correctly shown on Google maps, difficult to find entrance because they didn't hang up the sign for everybody on the street to see (instead it's on the floor facing the wrong way)
Big spacious room, lots of attention from staff, AC effectively cooling the room after some time, beautiful property, free drinking water in room

Sri LankaThe owner is very cunning. I booked a sea view room, but the owner provided me with a molded room with no window and no sea view. He asked to pay more to upgrade for a sea view room (no sea view at all). Very dirty molded rooms with bad smell. Need reinnovation
