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 KingdomBreakfast was average at best. Though rooms were recently refurbished, there was a very damp smell and the carpet was full of brown and black stains.
Location is great, good walking distance to Kandy and the other side of the lake. Very central but quiet.

United KingdomIt stated it had a bar but doesn't serve alcoholic drinks. Our evening meal was awful and we weren't alone. An hour wait to get an inedible piece of dried chicken. Stone cold vegetables and young inexperienced staff that need training.
Clean modern a good standard. Reception staff friendly and helpful in ringing train ticket supplier.

United Arab EmiratesBreakfast is almost inexistant, nothing other than some pastries, not even a toaster to tost bread. Check-in process is very slow. We had an issue with the hotel, they don't how to keep a reservation, we arrived at check in and they told us they have no rooms for us and the room we booked isn't available anymore, they tried to find something with lake view but they gave our room to someone else and they ended up giving us an ugly room just because they incompetent to hold reservation properly. We didn't have a choice so we took whatever they gave us.
Location was good, room is spacious.

RomaniaMould Contamination: The rooms were permeated with a strong, pervasive mould smell, which was visible on the walls. This not only made sleep impossible but also resulted in my clothes becoming heavily contaminated with the mould odour. * Worn-Out Bedding: The provided sheets were in a state of disrepair, further impacting my sleep quality and hygiene. * Blocked Sink: The sink was not draining properly, creating unsanitary conditions and posing a potential health risk. These conditions are unacceptable and render the accommodation unfit for habitation.

United Arab EmiratesThe staff at the reception weren't attentive, they gave me 1bed while I booked a twin. The restaurant was so-so, but ok. Came there for dinner and waited almost an hour, the portions were quite small. For the price they charged $140, it's not meeting my expectations.
Location is nice

IndiaMonkeys were all over the balcony in the morning which was a nuisance. The food wasn't amazing as such, it was just average. We ordered Ceylon tea expecting authentic tea but it was just a tea bag in hot water and they charged 350 LKR for just a tea bag.
In general, it's a nice property and maintained very well. The bathrooms were equipped very well and the bed was also nice and comfortable. The view from the room was amazing.

United KingdomNoise at night from the lift, fridge, air conditioning units in other rooms and other guests. I found it difficult to sleep despite the comfy bed and lovely linen. Cold showers in the morning. Staff obviously rather than subtly checking rooms have been left appropriately before allowing check out. Experience reflected in reduced price. Booking stated lake view and one double but given twin with no view.
Location and clean room. Early check in appreciated and possible reason for change of room type. Helpful staff on arrival with a welcome drink provided.

United StatesThe room had a mold problem. It made me sick. The wall to the bathroom in the entry has a large area of mold which looks like it was coming from the shower. I didn’t notice upon checking any smell in the room but when I returned late and went in the bathroom the smell of mold almost knocked me down. I kept the bathroom door closed but the smell went through the entire room. It woke me up at 2am with a headache and soar throat. I put on a mask which helped but I was sick by morning. The bedsheets were also stained.
