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...).

IrelandCockroaches in all the rooms . Bathrooms were not really clean n overall maintenance were not up to 4 star standards. Check in 2 pm and checkout at 11 am . if you compare to Kumbura, Heritage you will be disappointed. Hard to find the hotel, out of the way from attractions.
We were 12 of us ,the pool area was big n nice certainly the best part of the hotel, breakfast was very filing with a mix of Srilankan n Western .Also the Srilankan person making breakfast was very supportive and attentive to our needs. they gave us an early check in n a late check out. felt more like a home stay than a hotel

GermanyWhen I first drove down the bumpy, narrow road leading to the hotel, I must admit I felt a bit underwhelmed. It was clear that the property could use some maintenance. However, upon closer inspection, I began to notice the charming details that give this place a truly unique character.
The best thing about this hotel is its location—completely immersed in nature. You hear no traffic or human noise, just the sounds of wildlife. Peacocks, rare hornbills, chipmunks, and even bats at night make it feel like a magical retreat. Naturally, being in a jungle means you might encounter a few insects in your room, but that’s to be expected if you leave doors or windows open. The centerpiece of the property is the pool, which creates a beautiful sunny spot where you can relax and soak in the tranquil atmosphere. The surrounding trees provide just the right amount of shade from the blazing sun. The staff are outstanding. Everyone I interacted with spoke good English, and they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure a great stay. While the hotel’s setting is lovely, it does need some upgrades and better maintenance. Despite this, I enjoyed my stay so much that I decided to extend it. The friendliness of the staff, the excellent service at the restaurant, and the amazing pool, all nestled in the heart of nature, more than made up for any shortcomings. Staying at this special place, located in Sri Lanka’s sacred spiritual capital, deepened my connection to the energies of the city. It’s a unique experience I will remember fondly.
