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...).

GermanyCheck-in was a bit harsh and unfriendly, requested our passports twice without explaining the situation. Our initial room smelled strongly of smoke, despite all rooms being non-smoking. The second room was better, but had been heavily sprayed with air freshener before we could move in.
The location is excellent, right next to the Dutch Hospital and Galle Face Green in walking distance. We used it as a convenient stopover to spend the afternoon and evening before heading to the airport at 11 pm. We received a room upgrade due to the issues mentioned below. The upgraded room was spacious with a good shower.

Very comfortable room and a great location for central Colombo. Easy walk from Fort train station too. The breakfast was a good buffet selection and the bar area had a wide range of Scottish inspired food and drink.

IndiaThe hotel smells funny, not sure what it is. It's not too bad to deal with for one night though.
Absolutely love the location. We make The Steuart our default pick when we need to stop over for a night in Colombo and the fact that it's bang in the middle of the Dutch Hospital district makes it easy for us to make the most use of our time — great restaurants, events and the railway station is very close too.

AustraliaShower grout bit dirty in some areas. All the food and drinks are priced "nett" When I asked what are the add on charges it seems it was about 40% extra. Don't like not knowing what the final price will be. At least you can add a quoted 10% service charge if that is what is advertised, but nett could mean anything and did so.
Rooms are huge. All facilities like tea and coffee, refrigerator, iron and board present. Situated next to the classy restaurant area. Within walking distance to fort train station.

VietnamThe room is very big and dark (even with lights). They could have made it nicer with a seating area. When we arrived I did not know if I had enough money left to pay cash as it was our last day. I asked if I could pay later so I could calculate in the room. The staff was very strict and said I had to pay immediately. Not customer-focussed/friendly. The part when you exit the elevator could use some upgrading/painting. It is close to an area with lots of restaurants and they have concerts there as well, so it can be quite noisy until late.
It lies in the centre so easy access to various things. The restaurant has a variety of dishes and the price is not too high. In general, the staff was friendly, except the receptionist when we arrived.
