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...).

IndiaI would like some more space in the bathroom to keep the stuff and I guess they should provide at least shampoo and body wash. I got it in kandy although it was shared dormitory.
It’s nice and clean and lobby has a tea or coffee 24/7. Wi fi is good.

United KingdomThe rooms themselves were not locked, though there were spacious lockers to store our belongings. Overall, there were still more positive than negatives!
Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient location, near to a supermarket and several restaurants. Spacious lockers available to store our belongings. Power outlet available by every bed. Beds were fairly comfortable. There is a lift (elevator) if you have heavy luggage. There were many shared toilets and showers for all the guests. The showers had good water pressure. There is a small kitchen with a microwave and kettle. Near to Fort railway station and many bus routes (including intercity routes) available nearby. Nice ambience in the reception area.

United KingdomFound the bed uncomfortable, bottom sheet wasn’t big enough and kept slipping in the night meaning we were sleeping on the bare mattress. We asked for extra pillows as there was one small flat pillow each but these were never delivered despite being told they would so tbh we both found the nights sleep uncomfortable. TV didn’t work in our room at all. The room was generally quite tired looking compared to many rooms we’ve stayed in in Sri Lanka for a cheaper price but maybe that’s just the cost of a night in Colombo!
Hotel is located just a 10 min walk to Colombo Fort Station which is the main reason we stayed as we were getting a 6am train, good aircon, fair sized private room, friendly staff and nice lobby area. Quiet location, no issues with noise.

NetherlandsRoom had no daylight. There was a window with a screen, but it looked straight at the hallway. Had to ask for an extra (second) towel, but they provided it immediately.
Lovely staff, they were really helpful with questions and advised us where to go. Nice place to stay for a couple of nights. The room was clean.

AustraliaNothing revolutionary about this place. It's a strange hostel/hotel combo that's perfectly adequate. If you're looking for a social slant to your accommodation look elsewhere. If, however, you simply want a reasonably priced bed in an excellent location look no further than here.
