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.).

GermanyNamadi kindly picked me up from the train station and also drove me back later, which I really appreciated. We had a lovely conversation during the ride. The rooms are nice and clean, with hot water and a beautiful view. The location is a bit further from the city center, but it’s quiet and peaceful.

IrelandNamidi was a good host. Gave good advice, dropped me to places of interest etc. Advised me on buses to nano oya & ramboda etc. And gave lift to train going home. Location was in mountain, needed tuctuc or taxi. Found the tuctuc rides hard as rough roads.

Very friendly and helpful host, who went out of his way to help us with some odds. Safe area, walkable, even after dark. 15 min walk to the famous Indian food hub, relatively close to shops, pharmacies, supermarket. Comfy bed and hot hot shower!

SudanThe place is exceptionally clean and convenient, with kind and welcoming hosts, Namadi and his father. Namadi offers fantastic tours around the city at great prices (he takes good photos btw). The hostel is located on top of the Nuwara Eliya mountains, with great views, and no need to worry—they are happy to drop you wherever you need to go. Highly recommended!

RomaniaThey offered pickup from the bus station, I announced 15 minutes before arriving, nobody was there. Once in town, nobody answered the phone, called several times, including Whatsapp, sent an email...nothing, although my message was clear. Nothing was offered to improve this first impression.
Beautiful view, you have it from the room as well. Clean and the appliances are better quality than usual. They have a restaurant as well, breakfast was good.

Stunning views, amazingly helpful owner, hot water with great pressure in the shower. Clean and spacious rooms with comfortable beds. The wifi was not as strong in the room, but he is working on fixing it. If you like walking, everything is in walking distance but it is uphill so it might be worth getting a taxi on arrival with the luggage.
