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...).

IndiaGood place, the room was clean and spacious with balcony. No view from my room though but from the terrace you can get a good view. The only negative was: it is on steep road so tuk tuk charges a lot and many of them refuses.

This small hotel is 100 metres from Kandy Lake. Our room was spacious and the beds were comfortable with good pillows. The shower was a standout - best shower I had in Sri Lanka - hot water was plentiful and the water pressure was excellent. The breakfast was served on the 2nd floor looking out at the view. Standard breakfast of fruit, eggs and toast was well prepared and hot. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a car and were able to park on the property. We walked to most places we wanted to visit and enjoyed walking home after dinner in town around the lake - it is well lit and a lovely stroll.

This is the best hotel we stayed in during our Sri Lanka trip. The staff were so welcoming .. we arrived late and it was not a problem. The room was immaculate .. so clean and very comfortable and the furniture and decor was amazing. The breakfast was stunning and so delicious and plenty to keep you going all day. Thank you to all the staff for being so kind and hospitable. I recommend this hotel to everyone!

Greece- Minimum amenities in bathroom (just a small piece of soap and toilet paper, no shampoo or conditioner, no hand-towels) but this is the norm in most hotels or homestays in Sri Lanka. - The property is up a small hill - short but very steep road to it.
- Clean, nice and spacious room. Good size bathroom. - Kind and helpful staff. Fresh welcome juice. - Good and fresh breakfast, served at the terrace with the nice view of town. When we asked for local breakfast (instead of the usual continental), they eagerly prepared it the following day and it was one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. - Good location, 200 meters from the main road around the lake.

The rooms are spacious with good beds, a big terrace, big and well furnished bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Location is good, 15 min walking from the city center/tempel of the tooth relic.

BelgiumThe staff was friendly but didn’t know a lot of information (when we asked about the timetable of the train to Ella for example, the biggest tourist attraction that leaves in Kandy) and their English was not good.
The room was very clean and very modern. The location is perfect, just a close walk to the busy city center.

PolandGood location, in a quiet place but walking distance to the centre and the Tooth Temple. Standard room, reasonably comfortable, high cleanliness standard. Breakfast was served on a balcony with splendid views. The owners kindly agreed for an early check-in when we arrived before 11 am straight from the airport after a night flight - that was literally a lifesaver.
