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...).

GermanyThe mosquitos, but there are nets.
We had the large family room with two queensize beds: comfortable for two. The AC and hotwater worked well. The deluxe rooms are nicer decorated. Friendly and helpful staff. Some nice beach bars and restaurants are close at the nice part of Negombo Beach. Airport is an 0,5 hour’s drive.

My husband and I can highly recommend The Branch B&B. Fabulous central location close to the beach and in the centre of many restaurants and bars. The location was quiet with lovely manicured gardens, exceptionally clean and the staff we very helpful. We will definitely stay again if we return to Negombo 😀

GermanyThe welcome was not very friendly. They didn‘t pay much attention to us: Maybe we arrived too early in the morning: 08:00 am. We had to pay for the early morning check in. But that’s ok: we slept well after a long flight.
Very clean and modern room with well working AC.

SwedenIt was noisy at night. There is no safety box in the room, and there are no gates to the property.
Very close to the sea, there is hot water in the shower which is not always the case in Sri Lanka.

AustraliaThe room was spotlessly clean and just across the road from the beach. Very quiet and the room stayed nice and dark. Towels and linen were top quality and we loved the fact that they replenished the drinking water in a glass refillable bottle rather than two plastic bottles. You MUST eat at the restaurant here. We had been travelling around Sri Lanka for 3 weeks and the food served at The Branch was one of the best. Amazing food!! If you want a clean, quiet room with great value this is the place!
