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...).

FranceThe surrounding is not too exciting, but OK.
A decent modern hotel in the Fort area, they allowed us to take shower in the afternoon before heading to the airport. The staff were friendly.

Central location, nice comfy lobby area to relax in, friendly and helpful staff helped us find places to eat and told us to use Uber/pickme for tuktuks which saved us money! They also do money exchange and the rate was better than the market rate

United KingdomOnly complaint would be nowhere to put things when going to the shower.
Only a 5 minute walk to the bus or train station. Staff were absolutely lovely and nothing was too much hassle. Water was available to buy in bottles and there was free tea and coffee available. Lovely rooftop area to sit and chill in. Lockers under the bed fit my bag in.

United KingdomOnly thing I’d mention is I used two different showers in the females and they were pretty cold, didn’t get hotter. But my partner used the males and he had hot water so not sure if I was doing something wrong here 😂
This place really exceeded our expectations!! We checked in to super friendly staff, great location, it’s sooo clean and smells so good across the whole hotel/hostel. The dorms are clean, really comfortable beds with proper mattresses which was a blessing. Bathrooms clean and tidy, free tea/coffee/drinking water. Kitchen to store items in the fridge/freezer 👌🏼 w Honestly what more could you want from a couple nights stay in Colombo. 🤷🏽♀️ Oh and wifi was good!

United KingdomThe rooms/bathrooms could do with updating a little, but not a big issue.
Amazing staff who gave lots of recommendations and safety advice (which I hugely appreciated as a solo female who had just arrived in Sri Lanka). I felt really safe there. The location is super close to the train station which is ideal for early starts.

BruneiThe hotel was very convenient for our family and suited our needs. The hotel could be a little noisy at times, doors slamming in the night, but again it wasn't that bad.
There is no restaurant at the property, but it is in a great location to the Old Dutch Hospital with lots of eating options around. We took a quick tuktuk to Kumbuk Cafe and Seed Cafe - which we can highly recommend. The staff were wonderful. We stayed at C1 at the beginning of our stay and end, and on our return the staff welcomed us like old friends! The hotel driver, Roshan, was really helpful too and took us on a great tour of Colombo.

IrelandThe scammers on the street.
Fantastic, affordable hotel that genuinely feels like a 4 star. Staff are super helpful too and the location is great but be careful of the men on the streets pretending to be the manager of this hotel. They will try to mislead you to a temple and a fake one day exhibition and then take a lot of money from you. Do Not Entertain Them.

Sri LankaNothing in the hotel, but as mentioned by other reviews there are scammers/tuk tuk drivers lurking around in front of the hotel. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it was kind of awkward and scary when a fight broke out between them at night when we were coming back from dinner, and it was difficult to enter the premises.
Super clean hotel and friendly staff who never failed to help. They let us leave our bags at the hotel before our checkin time and gave us recommendations on where we could go to hang out around town. Really close to the colombo railway station which was a definite plus for us, as we were travelling by train.
