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...).

CanadaThe location is on a busy street and it can be hard to get around without a tuk-tuk (and they are overpriced if you don’t use PickMe).
Welcoming hosts. Nice open area on the last floor to make a tea or eat. They kept my backpack for 20 days while I was on the Pekoe trail hike.

SlovakiaThe room is on the third floor so there are lots of stairs. We stayed here after climbing Adam's Peak. It's close to the station but we found the road too busy to walk so we took tuk tuks.
The owner was very nice giving advice, doing our washing... We liked the patio just outside of the room with a kettle and basic stuff to have breakfast or a cup of tea.

IndiaMay be they could provide electric kettles and coffee/tea sachets in all the rooms and a basic cup board for clothes.
Firstly, remember, this is not a hotel. It is a home stay. So, set your expectations accordingly. There will be no room service, house keeping, bell boy etc whom you can call on demand and similar star hotel like facilities. This is a home stay with all basic minimum facilities. For backpackers and families who just want a decent place to take rest in the night, this is a good place. As it is a home stay, we have the family running the place staying in the ground floor. And the family members are quite sweet and try to make us comfortable. The best part of this stay is the location. It is just about 8 minutes walk to the railway station. Several restaurants are nearby. And the tooth relic budha temple is just 5 minutes by Tuk Tuk.

United KingdomThe shower only had cold water.
I believe we stayed in the same room that a reviewer 2 years before us with some negative comments stayed in due to the description of the room. The window only looks out at the stairs up to the next floor so the curtains stay closed for privacy, and you can clearly hear other guests talking and walking up the metal(?) stairs. We did only stay for one night to get the train in the morning but had no problems after 9pm. When they are walking through the hallway is the only times we heard other guests. We had booked a different room on booking.com but was shown other room options that we could stay in. The air conditioning was good (note that not all rooms have AC and may only have ceiling fan). I found the pillows were actually the perfect firmness, usually hotel pillows are too soft and unsupported. The owner is a little eccentric but he helped give us warnings about taxi fare scams and that we'd be better off walking (case in point while telling us this we had an Uber tuktuk booked for Rs175 to drop nearby the Tooth Temple, then in the tuktuk the driver wanted us to pay Rs700 in cash instead so we got out and walked!). The hotel is easily walkable to the train station - no need to consider a tuktuk for this.

FranceThe window curtains were transparent which made the room bright and difficult to sleep at night. However, Vijetha is aware and she promised to change it.
Hospitality by Vijetha and her father-in-law warmed us. She cooked us fresh home made coconut rotis. It was one of the tasty Sri Lankan breakfasts. Big spacious clean room with attached bathroom. Pleasant stay. Family friendly.
