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...).

United KingdomDon’t be fooled by the pictures of the kitchen, it was in fact very tired and used (dirty). The kettle and chopping boards were very used as were all of the pans and other equipment. The bins were left with food inside them for over 24hrs which caused a smell and attracted flies. Disappointing as we paid more for the property so we could use the kitchen. There was also miscommunication when it came to scooter rental, the price is expensive compared to other rentals in Sri Lanka - it is done through a third party company but you pay the hotel. It was already expensive and I was then overcharged for using the scooter. It was disappointing as the hotel staff was the person who over charged me, I should have paid for a 1 1/2 days but was charged for 2.
Spacious room and nice view from the roof balcony. The room and shower was clean and comfortable. We didn’t use the pool but the pool was very clean

United KingdomThe rooms are tired, the bathroom is dirty, bedding was stained and had holes in. It seems like the place used to be great, but has been left for too long without being maintained. Too expensive for the quality of the room!
Not much really.

GermanyFor the price, we expected better. The shower smelled and the nearest beach was also kinda dirty and smelly. “Beachfront” is also a rather optimistic description, as you have to walk 300-400m on the road to actually get to the beach.
The pool was great and you had view to the beach. You could buy some water and beer.

AustriaFrom 11:00pm to 1:00am they played very loud music in the hotel and people were loud without thinking that people want to sleep. The beach is also not nice, lots of trash everywhere.
Staff was pretty friendly, gave us blankets because we didnt have any.

United KingdomThe whole room wasn't cleaned before I entered. The toilet seat had urine all over it. The bathroom and the room floor was disgusting The sheets on the bed had, what looked like period blood and other stains on it. After telling staff, they didn't even offer to change rooms or the sheet, he just tried to cover it with another sheet. I had to ask for the whole bed to be changed. To which they didn't have enough sheets for.
The location was goood.

Sri LankaThere were no cups and saucers in the room as well as no heaters tea bags, coffee bags, or anything in the room. There were cups in the kitchen area but I think the norm is to have them ready in the room. But the kitchen has a gas cooker so you can cook pretty much anything there. Initially, I was not provided with the blankets, but once I asked the manager he provided those immediately without hesitance. The checkout time being 10 am is way too early IMO. Since it comes at low cost, I believe value for money is good. Regarding the staff, they were really helpful including the manager. I did not like the food there as well.

United KingdomFacilities- hired 3 rooms. Room 101 leaking shower hose therefore not enough water pressure, toilet cubicle flush did not work at all. Used the bidet to flush the waste. One double bed bendy. So many spiderwebs underneath the bed. Room 102, toilet cubicle was leaking when trying to flush. Nightmare scenario. Shower was not functioning properly, not enough water pressure. Uninvited guests (cockroaches) were found behind the cabinet. Room 103, this room didn’t have many problems except for the two cockroaches that were found and the lack of cleaning. Ground floor kitchen was awful. Used mop bucket of water was kept in there for 2 days. Cabinet doors were dirty. None of the washrooms have any electrical ventilation or proper functioning windows (2 of the rooms’ window handles were broken)
Except the staff, there aren’t any that we can say good about this place

United KingdomIt is NOT beachfront. We felt jibbed when we arrived. Dont say its beachfront and show pictures of it being beachfront if its not. Say its 100 metres from the beach.
Once we were given top bedding, towels, toilet roll and soap which we had to ask for, the rooms were comfy. There was a communal kitchen which was handy at times.

SloveniaThe bathroom smelled very bad, outside was very dirty, the kitchen was teribly dirty. We ordered breakfast at 7:15, but we waited until 8 in the morning, so we were late for our arranged trip. It is not worth of that money. The pfhotos on booking.com are way more beautiful then reality was.
Beds were ok, location was ok.

AustraliaWe booked this hotel and Booking.com said it was confirmed but when we arrived they told us it was not actually available. Unsure whether it was the system’s fault or theirs but either way, it was very disappointing. Upon request, they did help us find another hotel nearby but it was a bit more expensive than this one which was a bit of an issue as we did not have much cash left as it was our last night in Sri Lanka.

RussiaIt is a bit too far from the main touristic highlights and if you want to swim comfortably you need to walk at least 2 km to the nearest swimming spot which would be free from fishermen boats and nets.
Very good place for it’s price, clean, comfy, has a kitchen, you can also iron things , very close to the sea. There is also a beautiful view to the sea, either from your room or a rooftop.

United KingdomLoose fittings & fixers. Not clean - nil concept of cleanliness; rooms were not cleaned between guest stays; Not sufficient lighting & plug points. Not enough furnitures/ badly positioned furniture. Leaking windows (windy & rainy day) - we were told that the previous guests left windows open- that shows the staffs didn’t check the rooms after guests vacating; damp bed linens; There was only one staff present. He wasn’t there when we vacated.
Close to the beach, about 5 mins walk. Inexpensive hotel. Quite big room for the price. Provided food as per our request but the dinning table isn’t sufficient for all guests.

Norwayour toilet was loose and leaking water. and when you shower the whole bathroom floor gets wet. We ordered Sri Lankan breakfast but we got some type of English breakfast that the manager made. we didn’t like it at all and had to pay a lot for it. The only thing we ate was two slices of bread with eggs and 2tiny bananas. No juice or water and terrible coffe that we didn’t touch. I suggest eating in the restaurant!!
the Manager and staff were very nice and friendly. And the food from the restaurant was very good, the people from the restaurant was very friendly and kind. The fan was working well in the bedroom.
