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 StatesTo ensure my stay was comfortable in every way but one, the staff went above and beyond. My only minor concern was that I was unable to get a good night's sleep because the staff's conversation was a little louder than I had expected. I'm writing it here so they can fix this small problem and be more mindful during visitors' sleeping hours. They probably don't know about it, so unless I offer helpful critique, they won't know how to fix it. This location will be my first choice when l visit Sri Lanka. I'm excited to stay there on my future trips. It was such a beautiful and enjoyable experience. Many thanks to the amazing staff

GermanyWe stayed two times at the Aloe Transit Hotel - one night in the beginning and at the end of our trip to Sri Lanka. The place recently opened and all the facilities are brand new. Our rooms offered a comfortable bed, kettle, AC and a daylight bathroom with a rainfall shower. On the top floor a delicious breakfast with a huge variety of foods is served every morning - we also really liked the view from up there a lot! The family running the hotel as well as all employees are the kindest people, giving you a very friendly welcome and making sure you feel right at home. I had a sunburn and the owner offered me freshly-cut Aloe Vera to soothe it. Also they stored our big luggage for almost 3 weeks while we did our motorbikes tour through Sri Lanka. The hotel is located close to the airport and transfer is offered. There are a few restaurants, ATMs and a gym close by as well. We are so happy to have found this hotel and we highly recommend staying there when you visit Sri Lanka.

SpainOnly thing I would say as it’s advertised as a transit hotel, with breakfast included we said we had to leave early and could they do us a small takeaway breakfast , sandwich and drink but not available , which was odd as every hotel we stayed in around sir Lanka offered this.
Perfect location for the airport , free one way car service and the hotel was very new fresh and clean Lady on front desk was very nice and recommended a place approx 300mtr for food which was also good , if your looking for a transit hotel then this was perfect . We stayed only a few hrs before we had to leave but had a nice clean shower and couple of hrs rest
