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...).

JapanGuests need to be careful with the access, as the road leading to the accommodation was quite narrow.
Amazing scenery surrounded by nature. The room was clean and comfortable, with big windows. Although we had a short stay there, we could enjoy it very much.

United KingdomBeautiful location, the hotel room was spacious, comfy and had lovely views out on the lake. The pool was great and we enjoyed a good mix of exploring Lion Rock and Pidurangala Rock and relaxing by the pool. The food at the hotel dinner was exceptional, incredibly tasty and well presented.

New ZealandQuite a distance from town and no shuttled provided, food off the menu not that tasty and was reasonably expensive.
Good pool, great views of the lake, the staff were friendly and helpful (they shouted us breakfast on the last day). Breakfast buffet was good. Moved us to another room when we asked.

GermanyYou have to consider that it is very windy and hear nearly everything everything inside the room, the pigeons on the roof for example. It’s nothing bad but you have to consider to use earplugs at night.
Basically It is a great hotel, with great staff. The view in the evening is amazing, and you can relax there as well. The Restaurant and the breakfast is quite good.

SwedenThe first room we got had a lot of flies and mosquitos in the bathroom so we asked to be moved. As there was no more family rooms available, we were offered 2 double rooms for first 2 nights. It was ok for us and to be honest double rooms are much better. They have balcony or terrace and pool view. More wardrobe and better lightning than family room. So when we didn't like was a very bad lightening and family room and the fact that the roof is so thin that we could hear pigeons running all night which was very uncomfortable and waking us up early in the morning.
The staff was very kind and helpful. So big thank you for this. The pool is nice and clean and our kids enjoyed it very much. Family room was huge and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was ok. Wifi was great! We could even stream movies from Netflix. The location has it pros and cons. It is very peaceful by the lake, but you can't walk to restaurants after darkness.

United KingdomNothing. If we had any complaints at all the hotel was off the beaten track but for our very short (1 night stay) we had the hotel buffet which was very good.
Breakfast was lovely. Staff were great. The evening buffet was good and as an extra bonus they had live music. The singers were fantastic. Really fun and engaged their audience. We really enjoyed our very short stay at this hotel.

IndiaDue to the rain, there was no hot water. There were a few bugs in the room, but I get that it’s by a lake and is remote. It rained all night long and was really loud on the roof… it legit sounded like a hurricane was coming through, but outside, it didn’t look that bad… just poor roof design.
The rooms were nice and spacious, the air conditioning worked well, the grounds were pretty, the room was clean and very spacious for our family. Our adapter didn’t work, so the front desk supplied us with one.

NetherlandsBuildings are outdated and the room had ants walking in at each window. The road to the hotels in poor quality and construction works blocked the access to the hotelmaking accessibility more difficult. The hotel messaged through the chat on this platform, however as we had no internet after our flight arrival we missed this message. The hotels pool is in bad shape, with the lights and wires hanging from the side walls to the edges of the pool just above the water surface.
Location has great views over the lake and is close to Sigiriya. The hotel offers a different 4 course menu every night for a reasonable price.
