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...).

IrelandVery large and comfortable bed with ceiling fan and ac. Just off the main road and a few minutes walk to the "main street" with lots of restaurants and mini marts, only a 10/15 min walk to the beach.

United KingdomThe shower only had cold water but this wasn’t a problem as we were able to use the hot shower in another room. It’s also warm in Trincomalee so some days, a cold shower was absolutely fine!
Lovely stay. Abi was so helpful with advice about transport, booking tuktuks, sorting scooter rental and food recommendations. Location is great, really close to beach and property is tucked away from main road so was quiet. Absolutely loved that the room had blackout blinds - we slept really well!

SerbiaHosts are super friendly and helpfull, beds are comfortable, a/c is working fine. There is no water heater, but water is warm enough for showering. There is a shared kitchen with fridge and stove which we could use. Both room and bathroom are spacious. We have decided to stay longer than planned.

AustriaThe only issues were communication issues. At first one of the employees informed us that the water available at the property would be free of charge. However when it came to pay we were asked for water consumption, which would not have been as high if we knew that we had to pay per bottle (especially since we have our own water filter bottles which we didn't use because we thought it was free). In addition, booking.com highlighted that cash is not accepted. Therefore we planned our trip accordingly. When the time to pay arrived we were told we could only pay in cash. This was unforeseen and caused some problems which we could solve eventually by paying with card through a third party.
The hotel is very close to the beach, it was very clean, the staff very accomodating. We actually booked for 2 people, but our friend decided to come as well and we were immediately put in a bigger room free of charge. The bed was lovely, we were given bigger towels and blankets when we asked. There was also a birthday party and were kindly invited the family in cake and friends. They had a lot of local knowledge and we really appreciate the help with organising buses for us. The manager even called to make a reservation for one us to ensure we got a seat on an AC bus. Overall, the hotel and family is very kind and hospitable and accomodating.

AustraliaMy friend had ants in her bed and we reported this to the staff and the owner and nothing was done about it. It wasn't a massive issue, just a bit annoying that nothing was done.
The owner was very helpful and kind in allowing us to extend and offering suggestions of things to do around the area. The room was really affordable and comfotable for me and my friends, as we each had a double bed to ourselves and could relax a bit rather than staying at a hostel, but for the same price. It is only a 10/15 minute walk to where most of the main shops/ bars/ beaches are.
