Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Hello Clock inn. As far as I am concerned the toilet and bathroom is not up to the standard. It's been there for more than a decade ( Old fashion ). Please make sure that you redesign the whole bathroom to todays standard. It's smells badly some time. Thanks
Hello Clock Inn. The most is the location It's in the heart of Colombo and easily accessible to any where. I would recommend the break fast was really superb and the Staffs of Clock Inn was so nice and down to earth. Thanks

Location is perfect, bus stop in front of the hostel. Hot water, tea and a water dispenser on the really nice terrace for free. We used that and enjoyed the community area a lot. We had an issue with our booking (not the hostels fault) and the owner found a perfect solution. Still greatful for that and so we had 2 good nights there. You can hear the street at night, but staying in a hostel means anyway having earplugs in your luggage.

- • Solo traveler

- • Stayed 1 night

Locating Clock Inn Colombo may be a little difficult for first-timers because although the outside of the building does display the name, the entrance is through a small door with no signage! One negative point in the rooms is that the toiletries provided are in glass bottles. One has to be cautious when handling them with wet hands, lest they slip down and break! A small improvement that would add to the guests' convenience will be the addition of a small shelf within the shower cubicle for placing the shampoo and body wash bottles. Guests should be aware that as the property is on the first, second and third floors, and accessible only by stairs, it may not be suitable for guests with certain disabilities.
Clock Inn Colombo is a 2-star hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Situated close to the Galle waterfront, this budget accommodation is ideal for those who want to visit Colombo without breaking the bank. The rooms in the property are affordable yet comfortable. Although the rooms are not too big, there is enough space to keep your stuff. The rooms come with a TV, air conditioning and a small wardrobe. The breakfast is quite basic but palatable. Ruwan, the floor manager, is a cheerful and helpful chap. He tries to comply with the guests' requests to the best of his ability.
