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...).

SloveniaA nice room for reasonable price ☺️ The room was clean, located next to the train station. The owner was very helpful, gave us a gift, recommended us a nice place to eat and offered us tickets for a traditional dance show. We dropped of our luggage before the check in, so they are very flexible. The room is ok, but you can hear the noise that is outside - bring earplugs ☺️

Right by the railway station. The whole place has been done up recently and the bathroom is new. The host is lovely and very helpful.

United KingdomThe accommodation is difficult to find and after a long journey I found it quite stressful. There is no signage outside, but the owner was quick to answer the phone, and his wife came and met me. There are no windows in the property, but for one night it didn't matter.
Great location - 5 minute walk from railway station Made like a small mini apartment. Tea making facilities (no milk). Very good hot shower - I did have to ask how to turn hot water on, it is a switch outside the bathroom. Excellent WiFi - with modem located in room. Best thing about the place - the owner and his wife...i left my phone charger at the property and the owner kindly arranged for a courier to bring it to me in Galle.

Belgium- it’s not really a hotel but more a room that was transformed to host one bed - ground floor so a bit less intimate but actually we didn’t spend a lot of time there so perfect to catch the train - could be cheaper price for the look of the building
- really close to the station so it was easy to catch the train in the morning - I arrived by local bus from the north and I could just walk to the hotel it’s in the center - really comfy bed - clean room - fresh towel and clean sheet - kettle with coffee - near the temple of the tooth (walkable distance) - the owner gave good information and was helping us if we need something - good internet connexion !!

Sri LankaWe had a problem with smell of moist in the rooms and drains in the showers - the water was allover the place after taking a shower, just not in the drain.
The owner is really nice and helpful - he let us leave our stuff before check-in and showed us a great place with coffee and delicious food. Location is also a great value of this place - I believe there’s nothing closer to railway station :)

PhilippinesThe ventilation was inadequate with only small holes and no proper windows, and rooms are non-air-conditioned, which made temperature regulation difficult.
The strategic location that made transportation incredibly convenient, with both bus and train stations within easy reach and impeccably clean and well-maintained rooms that created a comfortable environment
