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 KingdomWe stayed here for nearly a week. The room was comfy with a hot shower and good air con. It was great to have the space of the house eg with the kitchen and living areas to relax! Wifi was pretty reliable with speeds between 5 and 25mbsp depending on the time of day (and usage on the network!) Hosts were lovely and went that extra step, even lending us some traditional Sri Lankan clothes of there's to try for photos!

FranceThe owners are lovely and make us feel like home in their beautiful house. The house is in a very quiet area, not far from the city center by bus. The bus stop is next to the house so it’s very easy, fast and cheap to go to the city. The breakfast is also very good! We will come back here without hesitation! 😊

Czech RepublicWe had an amazing stay at Hiran and his wife’s guest house in Galle. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of their family. They gave us a very warm welcome and were always available to help with any questions or requests. They provided great advice on local transportation and recommended some must-see spots nearby. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast made with fresh produce from their garden—bananas, papaya, and a different Sri Lankan dish each day. We truly savored the food, and it was wonderful to chat with Hiran during breakfast about everything from travel tips to local life. We also had the pleasure of observing monkeys in the garden each day. As a lovely bonus, Hiran kindly drove us to the train station when we left. The guest house had excellent Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a spacious common area, and the option to use the kitchen—these little extras really made our stay special. The only thing to note is that the train passes quite close to the house, and it can be a bit loud at times. However, we were used to it, so it didn’t bother us at all. We highly recommend staying here if you’re in the area!

ThailandI had the most wonderful stay with this family. Hiren and his wife looked after me and were so welcoming. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and comfortable this is definitely the right place. It was my first stop in Sri Lanka and I couldn't have found a more welcoming spot. 🌟 Ps. I ate here for dinner and breakfast- I would highly reccomend it!

NepalThis was the best stay we had till our stay in Sri Lanka. The house is very cosy, clean, and has a calm location. 5 minutes from the hotel, you can find the main road, where you can get bus to Galle Fort. One thing that really stood outwas that he was concerned for his guests genuinely and treated us like a family. If you are visiting with a family, this is the best place.

SpainIf I had to find a con: there is a temple 400 meters away and you can hear the chanting every morning at 5:00am - but I guess it’s part of the local experience :)
I spent two nights at Hiran’s house and I wished I had stayed longer!! Hiran and his wife Malika are so lovely and always willing to help. I can only recommend their establishment if you want to stay near Galle.

United KingdomYou can sort of hear the train but it doesn’t run at night so it’s not a big deal
Beautiful, serene space and amazing retired couple hosts who are the perfect balance of warm welcoming helpful and friendly with also giving you whatever space you want. Their home and garden is beautiful with the house split into their living quarters and an attached guesthouse with 3-4 rooms with a wide open living space, balcony, kitchen, and dining room. Comfy bed, nice sheets, hot water, and great breakfast. I even extended my stay.

RomaniaThe room's description is misleading: the size was not as stated, while a balcony existed, it wasn't a room with a balcony; the double bed was rather small, there was no TV, and it was very noisy. This area is fairly noisy due to some neighbors and the proximity of the railways.
