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...).

NetherlandsMaybe it's not the question to the hotel, but the location on booking shows completely irrelevant location somewhere close to another hotel The Kingsbury Colombo. The actual location of the hotel is closer to the Dutch Hospital area, so better check google maps.
The room was big with good air conditioner, the bed was big and comfortable, well-equipped bathroom with a hairdryer, everything was very clean, Wi-Fi was stable and worked well. The breakfast was good, and it was possible to select on which day you want to have breakfast.

NetherlandsDuring the weekend the music from nearby pubs and restaurants is very loud and until very late. The hotel is a bit old, so the windows don’t protect against any noise. We were staying on the 6th floor and despite that we were hearing the music so loud it felt like they were playing next door. After the first sleepless night, we contacted reception who told us that the following night the music would have stopped earlier and be less loud. Of course this wasn’t the case. We asked if we could be moved to another room but this was also not accepted, so we ended up sleeping with pillows over our heads.
We enjoyed the central location. The room was spacious and well cleaned.

BrazilIt isn't a big issue but rooms are a bit outdated. Also keep in mind that hotel is right next to Dutch Hospital (kind of mall) and a few bars that performs live music during the weekends so it's noisy until 1am.
Comfy bed, good shower and room space, good breakfast (partly buffet on the weekends) and walking to distance from the One Galle Mall (less than 10min) and Pettah Market. Friendly and helpful staff too!

IndiaThe breakfast area had a lot of small flies and all the food items including cakes, breads etc. were covered with plastic to prevent the flies from sitting on them. If these flies were hovering around cut fruits I could have discounted this but they were all over the place. Also, there was no hand towel provided which was strange especially when you have clothes iron and iron board but not something as basic as hand towel in the room.
Excellent location. The room was humongous and well furnished. We had a great view of the Lotus Tower from our 6th floor room. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. Food was great. The in room dining menu has a lot of options and the taste is good too. The breakfast spread was good too. I would rate this higher than all hotels in this price category in the Fort area.
