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...).

FranceNothing special
First of all, the staff is absolutely lovely. Travelling just with my little girl, we got upgraded to the family room, larger from the one I'd originally booked. The room is spacious, simple and confortable. The only downside is the bathroom where a few details could be fixed / arranged / cleaned. Nothing that was an issue for us though. We used the lovely swimming pool (that might be a bit tiny if the hotel is full) and enjoyed it. We had dinner on spot and the food was absolutely delicious. Every single dish was really tasty, and same again with breakfast in the morning after. The staff is adorable, doing everything they can to make your stay as good as possible. On another note, my girl flipflop got eaten at night by monkeys 😅. Staff says it sometimes happen, so maybe they could recommend everyone to keep their shoes in.

SwitzerlandFor European standards, the bath would need some adjustments, but perfectly Ok for the type and price of this hotel.
The staff were super welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was good and abundant. The swimming pool clean and beautiful, with a nice garden to chill. Our room, with two large beds, was spacious and clean, perfect for a family of four. Comfortable beds. We had dinner onsite one night and it was also very tasty and correctly priced. If we had to come back, we would definitively repeat the same hotel.

AustraliaWhen we visited it was quiet but only seven rooms were open. It could get busier once the current renovations are completed to allow 14 rooms. I would ask for a room near the garden and away from the pool.
A two story motel style building located 30 min by tuk tuk from town down a quiet side lane in a coconut plantation setting with a good clean pool. Quiet. friendly. Clean. AC works well. Good restaurant on site - rice curry is best so far in 3 weeks. There is local helpful guide with a green tuk tuk who lives 100m down the lane. Suggestion: we hired bicycles from Sun City Cycles at the entrance to the ancient city. A great way to explore for a whole day some of the less crowded ruins.

AustraliaBit far away from the archeological sites. Currently doing renovations which made the relax around the pool rather noisy.
The best rice curry we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Peaceful and quiet. Lovely garden.

NetherlandsNothing to complain, lovely place!
What a gem! The staff is extremely friendly and devoted to giving you the absolute best time possible - Prasanna is an absolute top notch host and will go above and beyond for you. The rooms are spacious, well maintained, comfortable and clean. The pool is refreshing after a full day of temple hopping (ask for Jaya as your Tuktuk guide, he is THE best!!), and the restaurant is amazing. Don’t let the fact that there’s little restaurant choices in the area pass on this accommodation; you’re not going to have an easy time finding better food than they serve here anyways. We loved our stay here, and would absolutely come back!

United KingdomPerfect place to start our trip in Sri Lanka, very peaceful. Upali the manager and lovely staff who are super helpful. They arranged bicycles for us to use, taxis with a really friendly driver called Sumit, and a tuktuk tour of the sacred city/Mihintale with a very knowledgable guide called Sava. Delicious food, great atmosphere in the hotel restaurant, the pool is fantastic for chilling out and cooling down.
