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...).

IndiaSpent a night at Bamboo Tree Transit Hotel and had a fantastic experience. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring everything was just right. The room was clean and comfortable, perfect for a short stay. Breakfast was delicious and the beautiful garden added a peaceful, relaxing touch. With a convenient location and such warm hospitality, this place truly feels like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

The property was amazing, everything you need after a long flight. It was very conveniently located only being a 10minute car ride from the airport. The bed was comfy and the breakfast was great. The family were incredible!! Due to arriving late at night, they told us we could just go to sleep and worry about the paper work in the morning which was very appreciated. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thank you all so much!

United KingdomWe cannot rate this hotel enough, the couple who run it are so lovely and couldn’t have done enough to accommodate us after a day of travelling and arriving late. The room we had had a small terrace/balcony that opened out onto a beautiful garden area. The room was very clean and everything worked as expected (AC, tv, shower etc). The hotel is very close to the airport so a perfect stay if you are flying in/out. Thanks so much for a great stay, we will 100% be back!!

Perfect place to stop either arriving or leaving Sri Lanka, the food was fantastic and the staff so so friendly and accommodating, it was our last night in Sri Lanka and we asked for curry and string hoppers in the morning and they made it happen even with such short notice.

Simple and clean hotel close to the airport. The beds were comfy and the breakfast good (they even served it in the early morning at 6:45). It‘s close to the main road but still very calm and the owner was friendly. As transit it was perfect for us.

IndiaI recently stayed at Bamboo Tree and had an amazing experience. The service was absolutely excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive and made sure every need was met with a smile. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and provided a cozy atmosphere. It felt like a home away from home. One of the highlights of my stay was the food, prepared by the owner herself. It was incredibly tasty, with a perfect blend of local flavors that made every meal a delight. I also appreciated the cost-effectiveness of the hotel. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of service and accommodation provided. Plus, it’s located very close to the airport, making it a convenient choice for travelers. What truly stood out, though, was the excellent customer relations. The owner and staff made me feel welcome and valued, going above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay. They also took the time to guide me on the best local places to check out, making my trip even more memorable. I would highly recommend Bamboo Tree to anyone looking for a quality, affordable, and friendly place to stay.

United KingdomThis was our last night before a morning flight back to the UK. We had a warm welcome by the lady owner who showed us our spotlessly clean room and brought us cups of tea to our patio. After a good shower we mentioned to her that were were going out to find some dinner, and she offered us freshly fried rice chicken and vegetables, which we had after nipping out to the nearby beer shop. Delicious. Had a great sleep - it was quiet, comfortable, and with good air-con. We got up, packed and got into the taxi she had arranged, and rode 15 minutes to the airport. The whole thing was so simple, enjoyable and relaxing.

GreeceThere was a lot of noise during the night coming from other rooms. We would also expect a bigger variety for breakfast or at least something local to try. There was only a juice and omelet with bread.
The place was very clean and beautifully decorated. Our host was very kind and helpful, as well as flexible about the breakfast time.

ItalyClean place, close to the airport, quiet neighborhood, good for overnight stay. Nice hosts. Clean beds and bathrooms. We were a bit surprised when we didn't find sheet to cover the blanket, but realized later that this is customary in small Sri Lankan guesthouses. I'm sure that if you ask, the hosts will happily provide it (we realized it too late into the night). Overall-good place for inconvenient flight hours
