Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Great guesthouse with a lovely host family. The room was comfortable. I had breakfast and dinner which were both very good. The guesthouse is in a peaceful and quiet part of the town and there is a beautiful lake round the corner. The hosts helped me organise tuktuks and bike hire.

United Arab EmiratesThis guesthouse offered a truly delightful stay! The hosts were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, readily assisting with any request. The location was perfect – a tranquil escape just off the main road, yet conveniently close to Lion Rock. This quiet setting was a welcome respite after a day of exploring. A further bonus was the delicious breakfast and dinner provided by the hosts – a welcome convenience and a tasty treat. Overall, a highly recommended experience.

New ZealandWe spent two nights here exploring sigiriya and polonnaruwa, and found it perfect for our needs. The room was spacious and comfortable, with good AC and some cute animal friends nearby. It was the owner and his family that made it really worthwhile - we loved meeting them and they went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met, providing a Sri Lankan breakfast and ordering in delicious kottu for our dinner.

Czech RepublicThe scooter came with empty tank, probably a standard here. And a few frogs haha but that's no problem.
The owner was VERY helpful during the whole time, always there checking on us, bringing water, organising thigs. Room was ready in a short time after booking. He got us a great and knowledgable driver to Hurulu Eco Park safari. He also arranged a good scooter for us and a great tuk tuk driver who even caught us our bus to Kandy. :) The owner also called us after to make sure our travels went okay. Very good place if you want to feel like at home where you're taken care of.

RussiaThere is no hot water in the shower, and terrible sound insulation. I've been arranging a transfer from the airport with the hotel owner for several months. On the day of arrival in the morning, he writes that the cost has increased 1.7 times because the driver does not want to drive at the initially agreed price. As a result, I got there with the help of PickMe, the price turned out as originally agreed with the owner.
Low price, good breakfast

Good location for long stay, as we stayed for one night the transport was expensive. The property is far from the main road. Good environment to stay for long.

SloveniaThe owner was constantly trying to sell us something. I get that when they want to present the options, but asking for the plans all the time and trying to force something every minute that we spent near the room just didn't feel nice. The breakfast was OK, although we had richer breakfasts elsewhere. The room was ok, classic with basic furniture but it had AC. The bathroom could be cleaner and it would be nice if there was some net on the bathroom window. He did arrange the driver for the morning hike to Pidurangala but again, would be cheaper if we'd arange it ourselfs. In the end, he tried to charge us 2000 lkr more then the booking said, when I corrected him, he just said "yes". So...all about the money, nothing else. Felt a lot more welcome in other homestays :)
Good location, close to the lake and 10min walk to the main road.
