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...).

SwedenGood location. Very close to the bus stop if you need to take the bus somewhere. I only did it once since I prefer to walk. But to Ravana waterfall I took a local bus. Very cheap compare to tuk-tuk. No disturbance from traffic from the hotel or the room, only from a barking dog during the night and morning (not constantly). Very friendly staff.

IndiaThe towel given initially hadn't dried and I realised that too late. A complimentary cup of tea or coffee in the morning, a bottle or even a small jar of regular water would have been very welcome. These are standard hospitable items one would expect.
Excellent location, lovely surroundings, wide open verandah to sit and enjoy your cuppa. Mr. Soorya kindly allowed me the use of the fridge and the kitchen to warm food.

United KingdomOur Host was very helpful and friendly, he let us use the kitchen which was great as I drink a lot of tea. Location was superb, very close to the centre of town, shops, restaurants, buses etc. but very quiet, especially at night. Room was spacious with hot water, mosquito net and outdoor undercover sitting area. If you want anything just ask and the owner/host will help. He speaks great English and is knowledgeable about the area and Sri Lanka

RussiaIt would be nice to have more than one elecric socket in the room ))) But this is not critical.
The hotel is just perfectly situated, it is across the road from the bus stand, so it is really easy to find. The village center with restautrants, supermarkets etc is just few hundred meters from it. At the same time the neigbourhood is cozy and quiet. Very helpful stuff. You can always find their support with information or whatever. The owner of the hotel, Dasith is a very nice man.

The staff really socks.
