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 is having a beautiful view on the rice field and it's really quiet but close to the visit site. The room is big and confortable. Nice host.

Nice building very close to the archeological site. Cozy room with comfortable beds. Staff very nice and available to help in arranging a tour to the archeological site. Breakfast and dinner are deliciuous (probably the best rice and curry of the holiday).

The guesthouse is in an amazing location, from there you can see the rice plantation and easily reach the main attractions. The hosts also can provide bicycles and a fantastic safari of the main parks of the area. I advise asking them to organize your safari, also very cheap!!

United KingdomWe booked three deluxe rooms on the first floor and enjoyed the spacious rooms, each with a seating area on the veranda and with an outlook onto a rice paddy. The guest house is in a peaceful location, away from the main roads, but close to the historic sites. The hosts were helpful and welcoming, providing excellent breakfasts and dinners. They also provided bicycles for exploring the anciant area and arranged a taxi for our onward travel.

JapanI stayed in some guesthouses in the same price range throughout Sri Lanka, and the water pressure and temperature of the shower were the best I have ever had. The room was bright, spacious and clean. The air conditioning works well. The owners were kind and helpful. And we appreciated the free bottles of water and hiring of a scooter from here to get around the world heritage sites. The location was also very convenient, close to restaurants, heritage sites and bus stops.

Super hospitable hosts. High quality home cooking for breakfast and dinner. Quiet, clean and beautiful location closeby the entrance of the old city. The owners have arranged a jeep safari to Huluru Eco Park for our family of 4. We have enjoyed the experience; the guide Shiran was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, a smooth off-road driver and spoke good English! The owners also arranged bike rental for us, all smooth!
