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...).

CanadaImprovements should be considered by management re: cleanness of rooms, bed comforts and amenities provided. Separate water bottles weren't provided in rooms. Towels weren't fresh/not clean enough. Wash room size is fairly small.
Location is great and conveniently located nearby stores, many restaurants and local & street markets. Easy access to local transport (auto/tuck tucks, uber, taxies & buses etc.) and situated by Galle Road as well other main streets. Wellawatte beach is very close by about 7-10 mins walk and Galle Face beach is around 15 to 20 minutes drive or approx. an hour walk. Two room apartment size is adequate for four adults or families with children. Three rooms apartments also available. Check-in & Checkout were smooth and quick enough. Reception staff, bell boys and other hotel staff were great and very helpful. I will recommend this hotel for families with kids, business and leisure travellers.

BulgariaThere was a bit of a musty smell in the apartment, so we kept the windows open. the kitchen was good, but there was nothing to wash used utensils with and no paper towels/tissues.
very spacious apartment with three bedrooms and bathrooms. good restaurant on the rooftop. The location is good because of all the shops and restaurants within walking distance. Supermarket in the basement was very convenient. They gave us a 4 G router for internet, which was very good since we had multiple devices connected at the same time.

IndiaStaff behaviour wasn't that convenient. We avoided talking to them and maintained distance only talking when we needed something but they seemed to be rude and arrogant. We didn't feel like we were in a friendly environment. Else property is really good just need proper staff at the front desk who have more courtesy.. Else just go for a better hotel because your experience with staff is of utmost priority for decent stay.
Property was clean and location is near to many shops and easy to access there are many supermarkets nearby to get everything you need. Property is really awesome with amazing pool and roof top dining..

Czech Republic.Wellawate beach (near by hotel), is disgusting without palm trees, a lot of garbage even in the water, we had to go to City Port Beach (it's not much either)
The accommodation was nice, clean with a view of the ocean. The kitchen is furnished very modestly. Some of the air conditioners were old and malfunctioning. The rooftop pool was clean, the food at Area 56 was decent.

Sri LankaBefore we could check in I went through the reviews on the website. There were mixed reviews. Pls experience It yourself before judging. It was completely opposite to what I was expecting. The staff were really helpful. Especially the guy in the reception and the one who took us to see the place. As I was not comfortable with the place which he had showed me initially so I asked for a change. The guy in the reception was really sweet to change it into a sea view and to a bigger apartment. My husband and daughter loved the place. We had called the housekeeping the following morning. They were really efficient and quick. And the place was really spacious and quiet. The location was accessible to all the places. Overall it was a good experience. Felt like we were living in Qatar. It was just the same. And plus you could hear the adhan from the mosque next door. Alhamdulillah. Thank you so much team.
