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 KingdomOwner and staff are brilliant - we arrived extremely early (530am) expecting to have to wait until it opened later in the morning only to find they opened up for us and already had the room waiting - after an 8 hr overnight journey that was most welcome. Helped with information and booking the various trips we went on as well as the taxi back to the airport. 10/10

GermanyNothing to complain about the hotel.
This hotel was so so so beautiful. We had a very clean and big room with a beautiful bathroom. The interior looked so nice and the decoration outside was also so nice. It was only 20 minutes from the airport by car. The workers were so helpful and kind. The hotel had a nice pool where I could take a swim from time to time. We loved to spent time and relax in the hotel. Gomez is a very nice host! I would definitely recommend this place especially when you arrive to Sri Lanka! This is a perfect start for the holidays.

AustraliaNothing, it was all excellent.
Gomez’s Place is ‘child free’, open-minded, welcoming accommodation located in the northern part of Negombo. After some initial hiccups (poor wifi and cold water) that were quickly resolved by our hosts, the accommodation offered all that was expected in the relative sanctuary from the touristic traps that are the Negombo environs. The rooms are generously sized and very well apportioned (and clean!!!), especially when compared other similarly priced accommodation in Sri Lanka. The rooms also had both aircon and a ceiling fan, which seemed a rare thing in this country. The breakfast was ample and tasty (toast, fruit, coffee, tea, and eggs cooked as you like them), and the pool – while not the biggest – was an absolute godsend. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially our host Gomez who helped us with all our requests and enquiries, including arranging airport transfers. Thanks Gomez, you’re a star!

United StatesGomez Place is an absolute gem. I had a lovely room that opened onto a lush garden. The grounds here are beautiful and very well maintained. There are also rooms here that face the pool as well as many with terraces. I loved the bathroom in my room. It was part indoor and part outdoor, yet still maintained a sense of complete privacy. I slept well here. Comfortable rooms, good a/c and a quiet that brought serenity. Mr. Gomez is a wonderful host who goes over-the-top to meet all your needs. And the staff, especially Mr. Tharusha, are friendly, pleasant, and ready to assist. Also, my early arrival was graciously accommodated. I am looking forward to my next visit. Highly Recommended!

United KingdomThere is building work going on and this did disturb us but Mr Gomez took action and got the builders doing quieter tasks until we went out. It might be worth asking for a room in the main house for the next few weeks. However the rooms affected by building noise are otherwise very nice, very large and the most modern so it’s a trade off. I think it will be a fairly temporary issue.
We stayed here twice at the beginning and ens of our trip to Sri Lanka. The first room offered was not good but a quick objection and a much better room was found for us as we had booked the better quality rooms. The beds are large and comfortable and the showers worked well with good pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was very good, not enormous but very adequate, fruit, omelette, good coffee and toast. There is a very nice, though small pool which was always quiet when we used it. The garden here is absolutely beautiful and is obviously very cared for.

Phenomenal stay at Gomez Place! The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are very spacious (including a very large bathroom), clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water. The breakfast was excellent each morning. Location is just a short walk from the beach and the main road that is filled with nice restaurants, bars, and stores. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. But the best thing about this place is Gomez himself. He is such a great guy and will do anything to make sure your stay is perfect. If you need anything, he will make sure you get it. The hospitality is wonderful. You will feel right at home. Can't wait to stay here again!

NetherlandsGomez place is clean and comfortable. Its a good place to stay with like minded other travelers, in a country which is not always open minded towards our community. Gomez himself is very welcoming, and cares about his guests. Breakfast is top notch, the pool is deep enough to jump in, and the location is excellent. I got a TukTuk to the airport from there by one of the staff which was very affordable. A perfect place to begin or end your Sri Lanka holiday.
