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 KingdomC1 is well located, within a short walking distance to the Galle Face, Pettah markets and other tourist sites, as well as bakeries, supermarkets and restaurants etc. on the doorstep. The staff were so friendly, knowledgeable, and the reception area has a really nice vibe. The room was absolutely fine for our needs, and we were so grateful for duvets!

SpainThe female toilet was not clean at all, smelling and plenty of empty shampoo jars. I was surprised because the room and other areas were clean.
It was my first day in Sri Lanka and their welcoming was just what I needed. The staff it's super friendly and helpful. The common area it's amazing, as well as the rooftop. The location it's perfect, near the bus and train station, in the corner there's a supermarket and places to eat.

SloveniaWe settled a private airport pick-up for 25$, but nobody came to pick me up. I was waiting for one hour and than left by myself, what I don't regret a bit. Take a tuk-tuk from infront of airport exit and let it take you to Katunayake bus stand for Colombo Fort with bus 187.
Friendly stuff, cosy bed, clean toilets, comfy lounge.

GermanyCleanliness and hygiene. The towels had yellow-brownish stains. I also had my own laundry done through their laundry service and several items came back dirtier than before, including similar yellow and brown stains as the towels had. The toilet paper holder was rusty and the rust rubbed off on the toilet paper. The backup roll was blue from some kind of washing detergent.
Location was great, bed was very comfy. Taxi service to the airport. AC worked well, hot running water was available.
