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...).

ItalyWe are 2 guys and a young woman traveling. When we arrived to the hotel there was a weird guy approaching (he was also staying at the hotel) asking “if we remember him”. We politely told him no multiple times. At some point I told him no and that we weren’t interested in talking to him after which he reacted aggressively. Me and the other guy left the girl alone in the car for a brief moment to talk to the staff and he walked out trying to open the car door with the girl sitting alone inside. We came back and confronted him after which he reacted with regret and apologized. Anyway, this whole incident made the girl very uncomfortable staying at the hotel so we booked another place. The reason we are unhappy with the hotel is that they didn’t deal with the weird guy for us and they didn’t refund us either. It is worth mentioning that the weird guy was a tourist and all the Sri Lankan people we have met have been super nice.
The staff were fine

United KingdomI complained to the hotel and to booking .com, first room we were given, no window, no balcony, no wifi, we were then moved to another very small room with balcony but no wifi, no tv, no hairdryer no hot water to shower, this is not what we paid for, the hotel and booking .com provided us with a room that did not fit description as advertised, we feel robbed and you are cheating. At 8.0pm a member of the hotel staff came to our room to ask us to move to another room, i am 70 yrs old and could not be bothered to get dressed, pack my stuff and move to another room at that time of night and who is to say that the third room would be any different, Robbers.

Saudi ArabiaDisappointing Stay at Port View City Hotel I stayed at Port View City Hotel for one night during my time in Colombo, and unfortunately, my experience was far from ideal. Reception & Service: The check-in process was frustrating. The receptionist was not very attentive and didn’t provide the room keys until I called multiple times. It felt like a lack of urgency and poor customer service, which set the tone for the stay. Room Issues: Upon entering the room, I encountered several problems. First, the lights weren’t working properly, and it took a long time for maintenance to address the issue. The air conditioning unit was old and very noisy, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The room itself was basic, but the condition of the amenities made it less comfortable than I would have liked. Corridors & Noise: The hotel corridors had a bad smell, which was unpleasant and didn't make the hotel feel welcoming. Additionally, the hotel is located near a factory area, so the noise from the surrounding factories and traffic was constant and disturbing, particularly during the night. Conclusion: Overall, my stay at Port View City Hotel was disappointing. The lack of proper service at check-in, the noisy and outdated air conditioning, and the unpleasant smells and noise from the surroundings made it hard to enjoy my time there. While the room and bathroom were clean, the overall experience didn’t match the expectations for the price.
Positive Aspects: On a positive note, the room and bathroom were clean, which was a relief given the other issues. The cleanliness was the only redeeming quality of the hotel.

The hotel is ideally located in the Heart of Colombo, close to everything (main streets, train station, bus, supermarkets, etc). The staff is very nice. The WiFi works very well. It is clean. There is a kettle so we could make tea in the room. We will definitely come there again when we will be back in Colombo.

The place was very close to the Colombo Fort train station. The room was clean and the ameneties were perfect. It came with a nice little dresser, some drawers, and a mini fridge. There was also a little safe for precious belongings. The staff were very helpful and responsive and helped us out when we wanted to go to the roof or come back inside at odd hours.
