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...).

SwedenJust some kind notes on what to improve. It was only one bedside table so what if we'd been two? There was no separate lamps for reading and the lamps could not be switched off from the bed. As in so many other places I had to get up, turn off the lamps and find my way back in the dark. I didn't like the plastic sheets that covered the opening above the door facing the garden ( I do understand why it was there). It made the room look like a building site as they had not removed the adhesive protection. Easy to fix though! The bathroom and toilet is just next to the out- side lounge area. I prefer to pay by card on arrival instead of carrying loads of cash around.
It was a nice and clean room with a comfortable bed. I slept so well. There was a desk as well and a chair. I liked the potted plants inside the room both on the floor and up on the shelves. It gave the room a cosy feeeling. Plenty of space for hanging up clothes. The area is really nice and within walking distance to many places like Havelock city mall, Cool planet, Kells, Foodcity and different cafés and restaurants. The staff is very hospitable and friendly.

GermanyWe had a wonderful time at this accommodation! The hosts were exceptionally friendly and always went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. They provided great recommendations for restaurants and transportation, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious - fresh, varied, and the perfect way to start the day.

It was the perfect little place to stay, we were only there for one night but the host was really nice. He messaged me before hand and made sure we got there safe. There was a lovely restaurant around the corner and it’s located in a nice quiet area. The rooms were nice and clean and beds were comfortable.

SloveniaThe AC is extremely old and impossible to regulate, it was not cleaned for ages so even tougt it was set to 29'c i woke up with a sore throat. The ceeling fan was extremely dirty. Also the room itself could be cleaner. I would recommend to choose one of the other rooms, they are much better and cleaner.
The hotel is good we stayed in other rooms and we were happy with that. Unfortunately this room is not as good as other rooms. The bathroom is clean, the water pressure very good. They provide shower gel and shampoo.

GermanyI landed in Sri Lanka yesterday and spent my first night in this sweet hotel and was so warmly welcomed! Dulaj was my host and looked after me from the first minute. As a woman travelling alone, I arrived very insecure and didn't really dare to go out (as it was already dark). Dulaj seemed to sense this and instantly offered to walk with me to another hostel so that I could have something to eat there. He took me there and back home again in the evening - I find this gesture incredible and really appreciate it! In the morning I got a delicious smoothie bowl for breakfast, which was included in the price and is highly recommended. The hotel is also very nice, quiet, very clean and has a great bathroom with a hot shower!

HungaryIt was not like on the pictures, it could be cleaner. We found dead bugs in the wardrobe and lots of ants, also the air conditioning didn't looked clean.
The room has air conditioning and it is spacious. It has a wardrobe and a table, which was nice to put our stuff away. Staff was friendly.

United StatesBeware of tuk tuk extra expenses that are not voiced. It's really not much, but if you're on a tight budget it could be frustrating. Making things transparent would be helpful and garner trust for customers.
Host was fantastic, Dulaj and very welcoming and helpful. Even went to get me some watermelon and chocolate when I arrived and booked me a tuk tuk tour. Be aware of the tuk tuk tours, as although they are good, there is extra expenses along the way and this is actually pretty normal in Sri Lanka. I would go back to the accomodation again as Dulaj and the other staff were very helpful. Room is decent and nice and quiet.
