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.).

United KingdomNothing at all to dislike
Very spacious room with comfortable beds and pillows. 3 x sitting areas with soft seating upstairs and downstairs. The use of a fully functioning kitchen. Outdoor dinning table and more seating under a verandah for when it rains. Shared bathroom, very clean and toiletries topped up daily. Within easy reach of local buses to many different areas of Colombo. Both Cedric and Anthony couldn't be more welcoming. Cedric is happy to share his wealth of knowledge to guests including excellent recommendations of local food restaurants. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for a great 4 night stay.

PolandAs always, it is people who make a difference, who make place. So is in this case. Cedric, owner of this place and his business partner or helper( i apologise i don't remember his name) ARE THIS PLACE. I had this chance to spend two brilliant evenings, we played some local game, watched some cricket game, and on top of that, we had long long conversation about pretty much everything 👍👏 Place itself is perfectly located, in quiet area, yet close to shops and food places, so everything in the package.

AustraliaWe didn’t finish to get through the door and the hotel manager was already treating us like s**t. We didn’t put our luggage down that the guy was already assuming we were going to leave the hotel without paying. Even though when we did the booking we set our credit card details. After that, the guy was the least helpful and he was not answering when we were saying hi. So staff, minus 10. Regarding the room, was a double room with terrace on the ground floor. Forget about the terrace or being able to open the curtains, as they use set the wash line in the terrace, and the staff is walking next to the window the whole time, no sense of privacy at all. Indoors wise, the pictures differ quite a bit from the pictures on the website. The room also had some moist and you could smell the humidity. I would definitely not recommend this hotel, not even to my enemy. giving a 2 due to the hot water only.
the only good things about the hotel were the hot shower and the pillows.

FranceThe location is very nice, you get everything you need near by, you will be staying in a small and quiet street. The rooms are spacious, clean, our bed was comfortable and large. You can get a balcony • There is a little garden area with a couch, you can enjoy a clean kitchen that you can use, with a fridge. We had AC and a fan. The staff is wonderful, very kind, helpful, and trustable. If we go back to Colombo, we will definitely step by there again. Take good care. Cheers and thanks from Marc and Audrey
