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...).

The service was also very good and the staff was very helpful regarding any kind of questions. We also highly recommend to eat dinner in the hotel. It's a little bit more expensive related to other restaurants but it's worth.

French GuianaWe stayed two nights in Cinnamon Red and this was a perfect beginning of our holiday. A 8-score isn't quite right for Cinnamon Red; a 8.5-score should be more appropriate. Not quite a 9 though.
Having read in many reviews that check-in could be quite stressful at Cinnamon Red, I was nervous when I arrived. Check-in went smoothly and quickly. Though I had to protest when the front desk staff asked if we agreed to a twin-room instead of a double. I made it clear that I much preferred to wait a couple of hours (it was 11am so too early for official check-in) and get the right room. The manager immediately found a solution and gave us a beautiful double room on the 24th floor. I read in a review that guests were put off by the security screening every time you go in. I must agree that it doesn't make you feel very welcome. However, as I was in Colombo in 2019 just one day before the terrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels I found these security measures most reassuring. Cinnamon Red Colombo is a business hotel, not a tourist resort. The room is perfectly adequate for those who have to work in Colombo. We had a fantastic view from our bedroom window and enjoyed it greatly. We positively relished the very effective light blocking curtains which enabled us to rest after such a long flight. The rooftop swimming pool was very enjoyable for an early morning dive. The rooftop bar was pleasant but could have been more cosy. Breakfast and dinner buffet were served in the same restaurant. Nothing particularly fancy but the food was great with an enormous variety. The western/continental breakfast part could do with a bit more care but was good enough for me. The Srilankan breakfast was great with egg hoppers, string hoppers, many curries and more. The location is pretty convenient if one wants to visit the national museum. The staff were mostly well trained and helpful. Because of a curfew the day we left Cinnamon Red, we had some trouble finding a way to travel to Galle. The staff at the front desk were most helpful in finding a taxi for us and printing documents that the taxi driver could show at check-points.
