Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Beautiful home, very close to Negombo but had its own slice of nature. Very spacious and airy, with air conditioning in the rooms. Champika and her family are extremely kind, welcoming and generous. Gave lots of tips for the area, particularly recommend the temple near Negombo! Angurukaramulla

The property was clean and spacious. Our room was perfect for us, air con, towels, mosquito nets, plenty of space for 2. There were shops walking distance to us and there was a very short, cheap and easy to access tuk tuk to main Negombo beach. Our host was amazing, so so kind, friendly and informative. We were greeted with tea and a homely welcome. We felt very well looked after. The breakfast was amazing. I would thoroughly recommend cosy nest home stay for anyone’s time in Negombo.

United KingdomChampy is a wonderful host offering great accommodation in her lovely home. The rooms are clean, spacious, and air-conditioned, which is needed in Negombo. The smaller bedroom is near a busy road, so earplugs are needed if you're a light sleeper. The bigger room at the back of the house is much quieter. The food is amazing, and it's an ideal place to stay for access to the airport.

They even help us to get to our rental tuktuk and ensure we arrived save to our next destination. Felt like staying at our aunty house. We will definitely recommend this place.

NorwayWe had some difficulties in our transport and arrived verry late to Cosy Nest Home, but the moment we arrived we were greeted very warmly. They had a deep understanding and was very accommodating throughout our entire stay. This isn’t our first time staying at Cosy Nest Home. We have stayed here before. And some of the many reasons we keep coming back is because we feal safe there and taken care of.
