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 KingdomThe listing says that each unit has its own kitchen, but it is a shared kitchen between all units. The kitchen is also outdoors so protection is required from mosquitos and insects while cooking.
The location was very good, in a quiet part of town. You stay in one of three cabins, each with its own bedroom and bathroom. We stayed in Cabin 1, it was very clean, working AC, clean bathroom. It was easy to check-in, a straightforward thing. We had changed our plans and only needed to stay one night and the owner was happy enough to make this change. We were unable to try breakfast as the owner had a family issue arise but this was not an inconvenience.

EstoniaNothing really within a short walking distance, at least not in the evening. Rather basic facilities, possibility to share a fridge ;-)
Breakfast was very nice, rooms were good, location quite convenient for a one or two day stay. Our on-site host was very friendly and helpful (many thanks for forwarding by mail an item that we had left in the room!)

United KingdomWiFi a little on the slow side but I think that's par for the course for the whole town. Even my local mobile data ran slow in Dabulla.
Delightful peaceful set of cabins. Conveniently located for exploring the area. Aruna, the owner, was super helpful and kind. He helped me rent a moped for a cheap price (including giving me a price before I arrived and taking me to the place where I hired the moped). He even dropped me off to the stop to catch my bus to Kandy. Good breakfast too, and made me a delicious dinner one night when i didn't want to go into town. . Doubt you'll find better for the price.

IndiaProperty photos are deceptive. It is just a small space inside a village. A car can barely get through the village road. Room was so cramped that I kept hitting the tables or the beds again and again. The lights in the property, after sunset, are too few. Too many insects in the lawns, mosquitoes all around, monkeys and cats jumping on the roof all through the night, cockroaches and frogs coming into the bathroom through the drain. Bathroom has no ventilation. It has a see-through window, and anyone standing on the outside can get a clear view of the bathroom and anyone inside it. Doors are jammed and need huge physical strength to open and close them. No arrangement for preparing food at the dining space of the property. They get all the food brought from eateries in the town and serve them to you. Only one charging point has the facility to accept the universal charger. Running hot water is just on paper and I had to make do with cold water. No toiletries in the bathroom. Room is damp.
Nothing at all.
