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...).

BelgiumHeidi is very kind and her home is amazing. You feel like Alice in Wonderland with all the flowers. I was a little concerned that it would be too much, but felt very comfortable and calm in her home, Heidi gave us a lot of advice for the hike and is such a warm person. The home is also on walking distance of the lake, but quite far from the shops and restaurants (but enough tuktuks to get you there 😁)

United KingdomNothing. It was perfect.
A truly unique experience. Heidi’s home is covered floor to ceiling with beautiful artwork, hand painted by her. She is an extremely kind and welcoming host. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and she came to our room with a cake singing happy birthday, which nearly brought a tear to my eye. The furniture is stylish and the beds are very comfortable. We had such a lovely time staying and wish we could have stayed longer

United KingdomVery welcoming host. It is both Heidi's Home and Serendipity Lake Artistic Bungalow. Heidi has transformed this former family home into a work of art. Every surface has been creatively decorated in her own unique style, making it into a tranquil haven. Located overlooking the end of the lake, about an hour walk into the town centre alongside the lake, or an inexpensive tuk-tuk ride (c600/800lkr). The rooms are big and comfortable and breakfast is plentiful and tasty.

United KingdomHeidi and her family are very kind, welcoming and helpful. She prepares delicious exclusively vegetarian breakfasts (also packed breakfasts) and dinners. This worked amazingly for us as a couple and we aren't both vegetarians. Offered lots of local knowledge about attractions in the area. One of the most uniquely decorated places we've stayed. Had so much character and the lake view is amazing if you take the suite. Location worked for us being out of the very town centre as it was quiet and we had good access to countryside.
