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...).

United KingdomWe stayed for 3 nights when we first arrived. The hotel isn't far from the airport and they arrange a pick up for you. It was just we needed after a long flight. Cosy. Chilled, great pools, lots of shade and the best way to settle into Sri Lanka heat. Lots of families staying for the same reason. We did a day trip from the hotel which they recommended and sorted out for us. We went to monkey island. Perfect The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Made you feel part of the family. So relaxed.such lovely people. The pools were great, all the gardens stunning. Breakfast was just wonderful

AustraliaNothing at all.
Optimum Residences made our first night/day in Sri Lanka incredibly easy. We arrived at 1AM, and contacted them via Whatsapp to arrange pickup at the airport. They arrived within 15 minutes and gave us clear directions where to meet them (out front of airport in front of post office). From here we made the short commute to the Residences. Safe, secure and very comfortable. We were greeted by the owner who showed us our room. It had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, clean room and a bathroom with good water pressure. In the morning we enjoyed a beautiful, filling breakfast with attentive staff. Our children made use of the pool and waterside while we got our bearings and packed up for our next destination. Prior to our arrival we had been getting prices for a van ride to Dambulla. We were misquoted by the host of our next stay (we knew the average costings for travel and knew he has quoted us 3x the price). Optimum Residences gave us an honest quote and followed through with exceptional service. Driving our family over 3 hours to our next destination. We are very grateful for this, and made the easy decision to rebook here again at the end of our trip for not 1 but 2 nights so we can enjoy their beautiful facilities knowing we will be assisted along the way from our 2nd last destination to theirs, then on to the airport. Highly recommend for anyone travelling solo or with a young family like us, to know you are in good, safe hands.

FinlandDefinitely value for money. Beautiful place and airport shuttle is very convenient. Rooms are basic (for the price more than good enough) and very clean. We stayed here when we arrived to Sri Lanka and also when we were leaving. Second time we had an issue with a room (which can happen of course) and it was very quickly resolved by the staff which was always very friendly and available. The communication with them made it easy for us as a family with small children to arrive to a new country.
