Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomWe liked it all :)
We were very lucky to have the whole place to ourselves and the host Lakshan made us feel like it was home. It was open plan and the pool was a perfect size to cool off. He made us the most amazing dinner, gave us welcome drinks, put our music on around the pop and even taught us how to play a local game! He made our first night in Sri Lanka one to remember!

GermanyVery clean accommodation with good facilities and friendly staff (especially Lakshan). Also good for family. The pool with the nature is unique and the hotel is located on a small river and is very idyllic. Above all, no mosquitoes in the room :-). Thanks to the staff

GreeceIncredible place, one of the nicest we stayed in Sri Lanka and it was just meant to be a stopover. Very comfortable room. Great common area and pool. River was really nice to swim in too. The best was the warm welcome from Lakshan and getting to chat with him. He is a great host and very good cook too! Would definitely recommend staying and eating there. Food was very reasonable prices and very good quality .

PolandRecommend this hotel strongly - it is a quiet, cozy place with a unique local atmosphere. Personnel was proffesional and friendly, as we arrived late in the evening they arranged for us a delivery from a near by shop, which was lovely. The room was very clean, with a nice and calming view - as we were the only guests that day, we were offered a free room upgrade.

AustraliaFabulous introduction to my stay in Sri Lanka! I arrived very late due to late arrival of flight and was greeted very warmly. Was even bought a pot of hot tea ( at 2 in the morning). Beautiful spacious room with modern amenities. Large modern bathroom with spacious shower. Great water pressure. Window next to shower looked directly into lush greenery. Stunning views everywhere. Lush green foliage. Palm trees. A eco paradise. My host was friendly and attentive. Felt at home instantly. Beautiful home cooked meals. Beautiful pool , lined with iridescent blue mosaic tiles. Lots of places to 😌. Highly recommend.

United KingdomAccess, unfortunately is difficult in that the hotel is situated a fair distance from the main road down an unsurfaced road. For anybody in their own vehicle that's no problem though signage could be better. Google maps will help you out!
Roshara Nella Hotel is perfectly placed just far enough from urban hubbub to feel wonderfully calm but only an hour from Bandaranaike airport, so a great first stop for anyone touring in Sri Lanka. A lovely, helpful host will welcome you to your accommodation (all rooms on two storeys around a well-maintained pool).
