Introduction
At Thalduwa Island Villas, we value guest feedback and strive to provide the best experience possible. Our review system ensures transparency and fairness. To better understand our review process, here’s everything you need to know:
How Review Scores are Calculated
Each review score ranges from 1 to 10. To calculate the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide the total by the number of reviews received. Guests can also provide separate subscores for crucial aspects such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free WiFi. It’s important to note that subscores and overall scores are independent of each other.
Reviewing Accommodations
If you’ve booked and stayed at one of our accommodations, we welcome your review through our platform. But even if you visited the property without staying, you can still share your feedback. Should you wish to edit a review you’ve already submitted, our Customer Service team is here to assist you.
Detecting and Handling Fake Reviews
To maintain the integrity of our platform, we have dedicated teams and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews. If we identify any suspicious content, we promptly remove it and take appropriate action against the responsible party. We encourage our users to report any suspicious activity to our Customer Service team for thorough investigation.
Review Guidelines
Our goal is to publish every review we receive, regardless of its nature. However, to ensure a safe and respectful environment, we refrain from displaying reviews that include or refer to the following:
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g., emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation
- Any violation of our review guidelines
Relevance and Timeframe of Reviews
To maintain relevance, we accept reviews submitted within 3 months of check-out. After 36 months, we may stop displaying older reviews, or if the accommodation undergoes a change of ownership.
Accommodation Responses
At Thalduwa Island Villas, we understand that communication is key. Accommodations have the opportunity to respond to reviews, further enhancing the guest experience.
Sorting and Filtering Reviews
When viewing multiple reviews, we prioritize the most recent ones, considering factors such as language and whether they include comments or ratings only. You have the option to sort and filter reviews based on the time of year, review score, and more.
External Review Scores
Occasionally, we may display external review scores from well-known travel websites. Rest assured, we always make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
To maintain a diverse and family-friendly platform, we have guidelines and standards for reviews that apply to all comments, regardless of their tone:
Contributions:
- Should be related to travel experiences
- Should provide detailed information to help others make informed decisions
- Should not include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary
- Promotional content will be removed
- Issues concerning our services should be directed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams
Audience:
- Contributions should be suitable for a global audience
- Profanity and creative attempts to bypass filters are not allowed
- Hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activities are strictly prohibited
Content Authenticity:
- All contributions should be genuine and unique to the guest’s experience
- Reviews should reflect original thoughts and remain unbiased
- Property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews
- Negative reviews that aim to unfairly bring down a competitor’s rating will not be tolerated
Privacy:
- Respect the privacy of others
- Booking.com will mask email addresses, telephone numbers, website links, and similar details
Opinions and Liability:
- Contributions reflect the opinions of guests and properties, not Booking.com
- Booking.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses
- Booking.com is a distributor and not a publisher of these comments and responses, without any obligation to verify their content
By default, reviews are sorted by the date of the review and additional criteria to display the most relevant feedback. You may find additional sorting options tailored to your preferences.
