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...).

GermanyThe hotel and the room seem a little outdated. What definitely needs some improvement is the walls/windows. There is constant noise all day coming from the street. Don't forget to bring earplugs.
The apartment is in a very good location to alot of sights, or to just walk into "town"along the ocean. The room is spacious.

SpainIt's not what we expected. No sea view and bad windows, almost as if they weren't there, you can hear everything from the street so it's difficult to rest. A bit expensive for what it is.

SwedenWe were on first floor and only window facing the water is busy with trafic, pedestrians and trains so we needed to have the blinds down to get privacy. I guess second floor is much better in that sense.
Location is great as you are close to the best part of Colombo. Staff very friendly and helpful solving all our needs. The breakfast restaurant across the street(5m) is nice with a street/beach view.

IndiaLess and limited knowledgeable staff, need to have more English-speaking staff. No routine for room cleaning and house keeping help, will attend only when called. But most of the time no attendants available and you end up doing things on your own or go without the services.
The location is exceptionally beautiful and feasibly reachable to several transport and many tourist attractions. Clean and quiet place for relaxation. Amazing view to feel rejuvenated.

IndiaResponding to hotel’s reply to my first review. I have already mentioned that I did intend to return, and you confirmed change in itinerary, but then refused to give me a room citing occupancy issues at the last moment. You wanted me to call you on the day of arrival to see if you had a room for me. This is after you confirmed that you’re ok with change in itinerary. Regardless, it does not change the fact that there were several issues at the property, including no AC on my final night. Dampness everywhere and ants everywhere. You were hammering the stairs apart while I was staying there. There was zero ventilation in my room and it is your most expensive room. Please try to understand that as a customer, it is my responsibility to write a fair review so that others can benefit from it. Your wifi, despite your best efforts, was the worst during my 30-day stay in Sri Lanka. I’ve given you a generous six stars for your staff and location. Everything else needs work.
Great location, polite and helpful staff.
