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.).

United KingdomCouple of the restaurants were closed when we went but think this was because the hotel was extremely quiet.
Staff went out of their way to accommodate us and went the extra mile. Room and everything on the whole was very top quality and we had an amazing time. Breakfast selection is incredible - probably the best breakfast in a hotel I’ve ever seen.

United KingdomThe rooms looked a little tired in some places. It was a shame that the hotel didn't have a private area for hotel guests on the beach. When by the pool it would be nice if a waiter comes round to ask if you would like a drink. The rooftop bar is very disappointing as a space and looks cheap. So much you could do up there to make a lovely area to hang out and watch the sunset. Locals right outside the hotel exit on the beach did make it feel rather uncomfortable for a woman travelling alone.
Very large breakfast with many choices. Staff were very friendly and remembered my order on day 2 already. It was quite noise so maybe allocating according to group size would be better. Amazing pool and lots of chairs to chose from. Highly recommend the spa however be aware of the extra charges such as taxes.

My family and i had a wonderful weekend at the hotel. The staff were extraordinary friendly, the buffet was spectacular- especially the pani puri station they had that night, and the classes conducted by Khanchana were the absolute best! Thank you, Sheraton Team!

BulgariaThe coffee was not the quality you can expect at 5 star hotel. The table covers at the restaurant looks worn out and sticky.
The hotel is located on the beach in lush forest. We have had great view to the ocean. The palms were just below the balcony and you can admire colorful exotic birds all the day. Just in front of the hotel you can find a Conservation turtle center where you can have guided tour. Perfect breakfast and dinner buffet with large variaty of tasty food. We apreciate comfortable bed and complimentary botles of drinking water. The staff was very attentive and helpful. They regularly ask you how you feel and what you need and do their best to fulfil all your wishes. Overall we have had great stay there.

AustraliaAmazing Experience at Sheraton Kosgoda! My stay at Sheraton Kosgoda was fantastic. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, while the hotel offered a peaceful atmosphere with breathtaking views. The food was exceptional, featuring a perfect blend of local and international flavors. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. A special thanks to Kalpani, Abdulla, and Sathya for their outstanding hospitality. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a relaxing and luxurious escape!

Hong KongI think they were overbooked and understaffed for our stay. Our bathroom was dirty upon arrival and we had to call housekeeping to clean the bathroom. The breakfast buffet was way too busy. They were setting up for a big party and set up a huge marquee by the side of the pool blocking the view of the sea and reducing availability of sun loungers. This should have been communicated to us upon booking. We ended up going out onto the beach for some peace and quiet, a sun lounger and an umbrella.
Comfortable beds and large bathroom, a la carte dinner was delicious (we didn’t eat the buffet). Large pool and easy access to beach. Nice view from ocean view room.

AustriaThere is one thing, which are the company events that take place there. For whatever reason management has decided that it is ok for these to also use/take place the guest facilities. So suddenly you have 60 day-guests in the pool or even worse 40 people drinking beer and whiskey-cola next to the pool area, getting drunk, screaming and singing. I do not think that this is an appropriate policy for a hotel like this. Normally company events should be restricted to the meeting rooms/location and maybe a separated terrace or so, so that they do not use the same facilities as guests trying to relax. This also goes for food, which should normally be served specifically for the event in the event room location and not together with the guests.
Everything, this is a very comfortable and nice hotel with very friendly staff (e.g. Abdullah was taking perfectly care of me during breakfasts and dinners). Everyone was very nice and helpful, the facilities are clean, nice and beautiful. The pool is big and well maintained. Nothing to dislike here.

SingaporeI didn't like the fact that we had to wait more than an hour for our luggage to be brought up to the room despite calling the front desk 3 times. Finally, I had to go down to the reception myself and carry my bags up myself with the help of one of the officers.
I liked the breakfast spread, the hospitality especially by the Manager, Ms Tharangi. The room was also spacious and had a wonderful view of the sea.

United Arab EmiratesIn my opinion, it would be better from a hygiene standpoint if items such as shampoo, body wash gel, and hair conditioner were provided in single-use packets or tubes.
The welcome was very good. The hotel room service was excellent. The variety and quality of breakfast were so good. The quality of various types of bread and pastries, especially waffles, was excellent. The staff's attitude was very friendly and respectful. Staying at this hotel was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka. The unique welcome with local dances was very captivating. Having young, professional, attentive, and motivated staff was one of the hotel's strengths. At the end, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Janindu Meegoda, the assistant manager of the hotel's restaurant and bar, for the memorable and high-quality hospitality provided at the Olive Seafood Restaurant. Additionally, the professional and diverse food service by the young head chef of the Olive restaurant and the dinner service by Mr. Kaushan provided a different experience for us.

PhilippinesThe check in is slow. the staff are very good and very welcoming and warm but the process seems to take a long time. So we went and had lunch after driving down from Colombo.
The room was great although the air conditioner was a bit up and down in terms of heat and cold. But we were comfortable. The food was great especially the breakfast. You could have an egg station that does omelet and sunny side up eggs which would make it excellent. Lunch and dinner were great. The pool area is excellent as are the staff and attendents - truly first class service.
