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 StatesLarge clean comfortable bedroom and large clean bathroom, large floor to ceiling windows, with so many little extras - fresh juice in chilled glass on arrival - delicious. The a/c was turned on prior to my arrival, so room was cool when I arrived. Quiet a/c, the quietest a/c I encountered in 3 weeks 🙌 The pictures are accurate including the fancy arranged towels! So many guest houses show fancy towel animals and colorful decorations, this was the only one out of 9, where the picture matched the bedding. The staff is amazing! Great to have a fridge/freezer for cold drinks 🙌There is a towel rack, tons of storage shelf’s, Tv, good pillows & WiFi, parking, lots of towels, wash cloth’s, toothbrush, bedside light, ceiling fan, shampoo/shower gel/lotion/hairdryer, and large pool towels, full kitchen (let them cook for you instead). Pool is clean, great way to cool off, water warm. Host is always fast/easily reachable. Peaceful, quiet, and private. The house is shared by 3 guest rooms - the hosts live in the house next door, on the other side of large brick wall. Delicious natural/homemade breakfast & dinner, much better than in town; way more food than you can eat. Nice to come back after day of exploring to a delicious meal prepared. Kind, peaceful, attentive, accommodating host, that lets you know your business is appreciated! Too many good things to even list it all. I didn’t want to leave. After booking one night, I had to come back and stay 2 more nights for a total of 3. It’s just that relaxing. I broke a glass and asked for broom, but they wouldn’t let me clean it. when I offered to pay for it, host said no, you are our guest. 🤗 I never asked, the host just offered to let me stay on property & use pool after my check out until my flight. All around amazing stay and experience. I am so blessed to have had the chance to stay here.

What a wonderful welcome to Sri Lanka. Our hosts absolutely made it, so so kind and welcoming, it was like staying with family. The room we stayed in was perfect - beautiful, very spacious, and so so comfortable. Our hosts gave us recommendations on where to eat, and everything was nearby. The pool was a perfect way to cool down after a long day of travelling. We slept so well, and the breakfast was huge and delicious. The shower was amazing. Cannot recommend staying here more, perfect! Thank you again 🥰

NetherlandsHad a lot of mosquitoes in my room so a mosquito net would have been great. It’s a bit further away from the main street and beach, about a 10/15 minute walk which is fine but it’s kind of hidden in a dark alley so as a female solo traveller not very comfortable walking back at night
Lovely family running the guesthouse, amazing breakfast (love the sri lankan pancake!), spacious room and nice clean pool to cool down. Would definitely recommend

United KingdomIt’s hard to fault. Maybe bring a little torch or use your phone light, in the evening as the passage way is a little dark.
The accommodation was pretty much perfect. Lovely family running this home stay. Breakfast was delicious and more than ample. The room was large, clean and airy. Good A/C and a fan too. The pool was a delight to cool off in.

United KingdomNothing, we just wished we could of stayed longer.
This was our final stay in Sri Lanka and was the perfect relaxation before our flight home. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The room was very cosy, with all small details like toiletries, hairdryer, TV and coffee amenities thought of. The bathroom and bedroom was clean and very comfortable. We also had full use of the villa, including kitchen and pool. The breakfast was delicious and substantial. It was also a short 10 mins walk to the beach.
