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...).

The place was great for my one night stay before heading on my flight, no lift but they were very accommodating and carried my bags for me . Thank you!

The private room was very nice, with AC, free toiletries, a towel, and a small table. I liked the boho design. The common areas, including a balcony and sunbeds, were great for relaxing. The Wi-Fi worked well, and a kitchen with free tea and coffee was a bonus. Quiet stay. Close enough so you could walk to the airport.

RussiaVery convenient hotel right near the airport. The hotel itself is very comfortable. You can choose budget places in a hostel or a private room, which is also very affordable. There is a comfortable kitchen where you can cook, spacious balconies on the second floor, where it is pleasant to sit with drinks. It also has its own private courtyard with sun loungers and sun beds - very cozy. There are lockable drawers where you can leave your belongings and go for a walk. The owner of the hotel is the true defenition of the gentleman! I'm glad I met him. He told me about the places nearby and Sri Lanka in general, and even took me on a small guided tour of the local places of the interest at his car. Also he can arrange a transfer to/from the airport what is very convinient. I was very happy that I chose this place to stay.

The host gave me great recommendations for travelling around Sri Lanka. I recommend this place if you want to stay near the airport and away from hustling streets.

United KingdomThe bathroom could have been cleaner and there were not a whole lot of restaurants or places to eat in the area, so we bought our dinner from the local Cargills and used the kitchen. The hostel is very close to the airport so you will hear planes - recommend earplugs for this.
The room was very comfortable and quiet. Our host was very helpful and check-in and out was simple and quick. This was an ideal hotel next to the airport so would recommend it for an early departure or late arrival to Colombo.

Also the owner was kind enough to take me to the airport early in the morning ✈️ Didn't have time for breakfast, but I guess that's great too!
