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.).

FranceMy only regret is not to have had dinner at JM resort, considering how good the breakfast was.
One of the best guesthouses I’ve ever stayed at. We were welcomed with a warm smile and a fresh juice, the room was perfectly clean, bigger than I expected, with everything you need and more (several towels each, toothpaste, bottled water …). The family that runs this guesthouse is truly kind. Breakfast was amazing, tasty and very filling. The garden is relaxing. Location is perfect, very close to the caves (we walked there).

MaltaWe went as a family of four. Having just arrived to the country all was very new and different. But we were made very welcome by our host family and soon loved everything around us. It was a wonderful experience to stay with a local family. The host Thushara and her son Priyan were fantastic and went out of their way to help with transport and tours we wished to take. They made great breakfast and cooked dinner for us, which was really good local food. We went away having gained a family in Sri Lanka

Our stay at JM Resort was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the gracious family who runs this charming homestay. Their kindness and hospitality truly made our experience unforgettable. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, providing a cozy retreat after our adventures exploring the area. What truly stood out, however, was the incredible food prepared by the family. Each meal was a feast of authentic Sri Lankan flavors, showcasing the culinary expertise and love put into every dish. Beyond the comfortable rooms and delicious meals, what made our stay exceptional was the personal touch from our hosts. They went above and beyond to ensure we felt at home, offering their valuable support with a personal problem I had when my money and passport were stolen on the bus. Their genuine care and warmth was highly appreciated as they instantly made us feel like part of their family! Cannot recommend enough!

AustriaWe planned to stay one night, but ended up staying three night, because we liked the place so much! The family who runs this place is super lovely, friendly, extremely welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and you definitely won't be hungry afterwards. :) The family also helped us renting a scooter. To have a scooter is quite useful, because the accomodation is a bit outside of the center. However, the dambulla cave temple is in walking distance. The room was clean, beds are very comfortable and the terrace is nice for sitting outside in the morning or evening and enjoying a coffee or a beer. We definitely recommend this place and hopefully come back one day!
