Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaThe shower was a bit cold the night we arrived - not a big deal when it is warm and humid, but still a shower should be hot if you want it to be. It started cold the next morning, but warmed up half way through. Not sure why - solar power? The water pump, which started at around 5am (due to other guests using the toilet or shower) is quite noisy. It was difficult to sleep past 5am with the constant noise coming on and off.
The staff were excellent. Very helpful. The hotel is in a very convenient location for transit. Close to the airport. Several restaurants/eateries nearby and a supermarket virtually across the road. The room was a good size for the length of stay. Bathroom was good size and layout.

Sri LankaThere should be blankets in the closet. The simple bedsheet was not enough for me. I woke up in the middle of the night freezing and there was nothing of that kind to cover. Everything else was almost perfect.

AustraliaHotel is a block away from beach - we thought we'd be able to go for a short walk in morning but no real access
We were after a quiet, comfortable place near the airport after a long flight. This hotel met our expectations. Pick up from airport organised during booking. The Hotel is in a lane off the main street and there was no traffic noise at all even though the road is very busy. Room comfortable with great air con. Nice western breakfast to start the holiday and very friendly customer service. There's also a large supermarket straight across the road where we stocked up on snacks and water.

IsraelClean, nice staff, very close to the airport and only 3500 Rps for taxi to airport - great for an early flight. Not much around in terms of dining (600 Rps tuktuk solves that). Not so simple to setup the room for full darkness

United StatesVery comfortable room, and excellent staff. Great value. The space is lovely and breakfast was delicious. They even had a spare converter - I was panicking because I arrived late in the evening and didn’t have one. The driver was very friendly and helped me source everything I needed to continue my trip through Sri Lanka. Highly recommend this hotel. I will be staying here again on my way out of the country.

AustraliaThe hotel wasn't as close to the airport as I thought it would be - it's the opposite side of the runway from the terminal, so you have to travel a fair distance to get from arrivals hall to the hotel (or at least it felt like a long way when arriving at midnight after a 10 hour flight).
This is a perfectly good airport hotel. It's the kind of place that you spend one night if you arrive late or are leaving early morning. Rooms are good.

NetherlandsThe neighbourhood itself was nothing special. It is an industrial area of Negombo with lots of traffic and not much atmosphere. However, the hotel is perfect to spend one night if you have to get to the airport the next day.
The hotel had everthing I needed and was located close the airport. It was very easy and quick to arrange a taxi with the hotel to get to the airport.

Great little hotel for a quick stay before we headed out of Colombo. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and they also organised our airport pick up. Being only 7mins from the airport was handy after our late flight. There was a little mini mart across the road for basics.
