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.).

NetherlandsThere is no kitchen, but that is it
The location is both amazing and awefull because the view is nice but it’s not easy to reach and pickme is not available in this region so all the tuktuk drives are insanely expensive. Even though the owner doesn’t speak english their son does and everything was arranged for us.

Swedenafter breakfast there wasn’t anything to do/non existent facilities. the shower had hot water but not a lot of pressure.
it was very close to the bridge, which was great. it is a trek from town or anything for food/entertainment. so, really nice if you want a quiet night but tricky to get to, which is a plus or minus depending. excellent view

AustraliaBreakfast exceptional. Only two rooms are available one without a fan, maybe a fan could be added as it is quite warm at night in April. Fabulous host and the view of nine arches best in Ella

United KingdomWhen you arrive, be aware that it is very high up and on one side of the entrance thee is a steep drop. Care must be taken if you are travelling with young children. For us, 2 adults, it was not a problem.
The stunning view of the nine arch Bridge was amazing and the walk down to it was probably under 15 minutes. The family were able to provide breakfast.

United KingdomThe road to it was down a steep recline of which you had to walk part of the way as the Tukk Turks could get up as it was so steep !! No hot water to shower. And despite having a mosquito net over the bed, we still found ourselves sleeping with bugs in the bed in the morning .!! We sprayed the bedroom with bug repellent and in the morning there were hundreds of dead bugs on the floor . The owner came and swept them up and shrugged her shoulders as to say ‘what else can I do ?!!’

Sri LankaVery disappointed in the first day as soon as i arrived around 11pm he took me to another room. He said me that a tourist had an issue with his booking and there was no place to the kids and they gave my room for someone also as per him he said i got late to come. This is soo bad even i got late to come I'm paying the full amount. The room he gave didn’t had a good view and the room was different location (around 50m from the exact place) the room was dirty was not clean even the bed sheet was not clean. Disappointed from the start. Next day i felt early and said him to transfer my bag to the correct room and he did it. For the day 2 i called him several times before i go out for 30min to send me the breakfast and he didn't pick up the phone. After 5-6 times calling him once i asked for breakfast he said i didn't inform early so it will take time. (My package was included with breakfast)
The view was amazing. You can see the nine arch and nicely. The lady host was kind and good! There is no fan or ac it's bit hot for me personally. Also no wifi!
