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...).

GermanyNice small Hotel. Very clean rooms, equipped with quiet air conditioning and an equally quiet ceiling fan. Bathroom was also very clean with good water pressure and hot water. The minibar is very well stocked. Good breakfast, dinner was also very good. The owner Gerry and his staff even prepared a great fish platter for me upon request. The staff was always very helpful and friendly. E-Bicycles can be rented to explore the area. Playing billiards is also possible; there is a billiard table available. Beautiful courtyard garden with a pool for cooling off. Due to its proximity to the airport, it is the perfect accommodation to start or end your vacation. Although it was close to the airport, there was no aircraft noise at all. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back sometime. See ya Gerry!

United KingdomIf we were staying more than one night, the location could be an issue as their is very little to do in the surrounding area unless you ordered a taxi or a Tuktuk.
We only stayed one night as we were moving on to Galle the following day. The owner, Gerry was great. We had just arrived in Sri Lanka and he had arranged transport from the airport for us and a taxi to Galle the following day. The room was clean. It had a mini bar filled with beer, fruit juice, and water. We had a tv and WiFi.. The breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. We didn’t use the pool due to time constraints, but it looked lovely.

United KingdomAll good.
Perfectly located near the airport with a lovely pool in a peaceful lush garden. Delicious food to choose from an extensive menu. Host Jerry went the extra mile to make our short stay a great experience, including arranging airport transport which he woke up for at 130am - much appreciated. June was super helpful.

United StatesI was so glad I planned to stay three nights here at Palms Villa before my flight out of the country. Most guests just use this as a quick stopover before or after a late-night flight. And they really miss out. If you stay through at least one day, you mostly have the place to yourself. I did not even leave for meals--the food prepared by Gerry (who happens to be a great chef) and his assistant is delicious and reasonably priced. Because the guesthouse is tucked away in a residential neighborhood, it is peaceful—perfect for relaxing. Sit by the lovely saline pool, enjoy a cool drink, and pretend you are a millionaire.

As soon as I arrived I was greeted with a drink and a chat with the workers and the dog also greeted me he was lovely and helped the owner show me to my room which was so nice as I have been travelling and missed my dog🥹
