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...).

Greeted with a warm welcome and cup of tea, spacious room and bathroom with aircon, spotlessly clean. Good breakfast, varied and filling. Convenient location about 10-15min walk into the Dutch Fort. The team helpfully organised an airport transfer for me at the end of my stay, stored my luggage after I checked out while I explored the town, and even offered me a shower after I'd checked out before heading to the airport.

IrelandStaff gave us a very early check in and greeted us with tea. The member who greeted us was very helpful and had a strong standard of English. We had an early check out the next morning and a take away breakfast was arranged. Rooms were spacious and modern with excellent air con. The bar is comfortable with good prices with lots of pet cats in attendance who are adorable.

SlovakiaThere was nothing not to like.
We completely loved this accomodation. Location was perfect, as we came by train and left by bus, it was walking distance everywhere. Whole property is super cool with nice touches that makes it very cozy. Room was extremely spacious with very comfortable huge bed. I liked balcony with nice seating area, which we did not have time to use :) . Whole style of hotels gives you nice colonial vibes, which is so typical for this town, so it just perfectly completed whole feeling from this Sri Lankan historical gem. Stuff was super nice always have nice words for us and helped us with all the questions we had.

NetherlandsWe had a wonderful time at this place. The hosts were incredibly kind and fun to talk to. Our room was exceptionally spacious and clean, unlike any place we staid in Sri Lanka. The bathroom was big and clean (there even was a bidet). The breakfast was european and was exceptional (we had eggs with tomato and avocado, bread with jam and butter, waffles with fruits, coffee/tea, and an amazing soursop juice). The historical part of Galle and the bus stop are a short walk (10 minutes) away. Definitely recommend!

Great stay for 3 nights at Brixia. Enzas coffee the best in 5 weeks of travelling 😋 Great location, many good bakeries nearby, & close to walk to the fort. Breakfasts at Brixia were sensational & delicious. Staff were friendly, always smiling & helpful. Very clean, we had a huge bathroom (Room 3), nicely decorated place, certainly a woman's touch shows. Thank you to all who made our stay comfortable we will definitely stay again when we return to Galle.

Brixia is a total score! Exceptional value, gorgeous Italian / Sri Lankan design, large room and bathroom with separate full shower, big comfortable bed, nice balcony, great breakfast with REAL Italian moka pot coffee or espresso. Owners and staff are friendly and wonderful to chat with about all things Galle, Sri Lanka or Italy. Great location a block outside the fort (way less noise and traffic!) and an easy walk to all the markets , sea or fort. Parking right in front if you have your own tuktuk or car. Book this place now!

United KingdomI can only give the hosts full marks. I came back to the hotel after a long walk which was a big mistake (I had checked out, but left my luggage with them). I was suffering from heat stroke, and they looked after me. I couldn't move, pins and needles in my right arm, and couldn't move my legs at all. Hosts and staff looked after me, ice pack, legs massaged. I had to lie down, they helped, removed my socks, and kept replacing ice packs, and got a bucket of cold water to put my feet in, and suggested hot tea which I gracefully accepted. Thankfully the car they ordered to get me to the doctors, and I am sure hospital, was not necessary as over the next hour I slowly recovered enough to move on to my next destination, where I am now, intending to relax for 48 hours and not to be so silly again!
