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...).

IranThe only downside for me was the lack of a fridge, and that the doors of the property didn't have mosquito nets, which allowed insects to get in — but it seems this is quite common in Sri Lanka. Also, there were no slippers provided in the rooms, which again seems to be a general thing. It's better for travelers to bring their own slippers, toilet paper rolls, and insect spray.
It was a nice, comfortable, quiet, and clean place with a good location. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was hot water in the shower and toilet paper was available. They also provided hand soap. The beds had mosquito nets, which is great for preventing bites. I had a separate room with air conditioning. I arrived late at night, and the staff welcomed me warmly.

NetherlandsThe room had a lot of mosquitos, but we had a net so this kinda fixed it. The bathroom wasnt clean, thats why we don’t give it a 10.
This hostel was ok for 1 night before going to the airport. The staff was really friendly, they also fixed a tuktuk for 1000 (I guess it’s the tourist price 😅)

UkraineEverything is fine
The hotel is located in a private house, with a very quiet and calm atmosphere. There is a shared kitchen, refrigerator, water. You can order laundry at will 800 rupees. Quite good repair in light colors. The room I had with a huge bed. There is shampoo, conditioner and soap! Excellent staff who are ready to fulfill your wishes. From the hotel in 5 minutes there is a wonderful restaurant with a view of the lagoon, you can watch a very beautiful sunset! The breakfast was modest, but there is enough!

Ideal for a night before or after a flight. We stayed here before our flight in the morning it’s around 7 minutes away from the airport via tuktuk. The host was nice and made us breakfast included in the price before our flight! The rooms okay.

GermanyAll in all it’s a good place to stay. I stayed there in total three nights but not in a row. I always came back to get first my mom, then my brother and then my boyfriend from the airport. The staff made it possible to keep our not needed suitcase(s) while we travel. This was really helpful!😍 Breakfast was prepared with love. Rooms are clean and beds have moskito nets and AC. I can recommend this place.
