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 KingdomNicely done on the outside. Inside rooms were basic but good enough for an overnight stay to make airport transfer easier, included in the price which was convenient. Lovely touch to add drinks in the fridge for no extra charge, staff were wonderful and very respectful. Overall a lovely stay

We felt good from the first meeting with the driver at the airport. After arriving at the accommodation, we had a beautiful, clean and comfortable room that was very close to the pool. The room, the pool, the people from the hotel... everything was amazing. In the morning we had an excellent and rich breakfast. when a tuk tuk was needed, we were on our way within 5 minutes. very kind and selfless people. thank you very much, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Amazing place to stay, especially if catching a flight from the Colombo airport, which is close by. The owners are incredibly hard-working and friendly. They offer a free shuttle service to the airport and sometimes have to stay up all night welcoming new customers or seeing off others who are leaving. Beautiful swimming pools. One friendly driver dropped me off at the beach and returned to pick me up at the exact time I had requested since I didn't have any phone connection. Thanks again, and well done for excellent services.

PolandThe room had a bad view, windows overlooking the backyard of the property. Garden/pool side must be nice but I think you have to pay extra for that. We had an early morning flight and we were handed sandwiches packed to go since breakfast starts at 8 AM! Definitely too late!
We were pleasantly surprised. Two swimming pools, one with a slide (definitely not safe for babies and small children but so much fun for the grownups!), just by a small in-house restaurant. The room was small and had a very bad view but I think that's what the lowest fare gets you. But it was more than enough for our short stay. There was AC and refrigerator with complimentary soft drinks like Coke, Sprite - that was a very nice surprise. The food in the restaurant was just ok but the fact there is a restaurant and you don't have to worry about your evening meal is a plus. Airport pickup/drop off is included in the price!

United StatesThis was our first stay in Sri Lanka and we loved it so much we tried to come back again but they were fully booked. The pool with the slide is so much fun and it helped us stay up when jet lag was hitting hard! It was so nice to have free airport pickup - Such a relief when arriving in a foreign country. It’s also an easy Tuk Tuk ride to the beach. The rooms are basic but clean and the beds comfortable. WiFi worked great everywhere on the property and the breakfast buffet was delicious. This place is probably the best value we got during our whole stay in Sri Lanka - so many incredible perks for a great price!!

LatviaWe did not face any problems to share with others.
We had early morning arrival and hotel sent a driver to pick us up without any extra charge. Our intention was to have a little sleep after overnight flight before to leave to Sigiriya direction. And we got what we expected. Room was clean and big enough. There is also swimming pool available. We did not explore surroundings and slept during the breakfast time. However, staff was nice and we had a good sleep. For sure recommended.
