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...).

Sri LankaThere was a foul smell in corridors and outside room sometimes. Food prices in their restaurant downstairs is expensive compared to what you can get in restaurants in surrounding areas inside dutch hospital. Would be great if the window can be opened but they are sealed shut.
The room is big, spacious and clean. Bathroom is the same. Kept clean. The location is prime. Overall good value for what we paid.

Russiathe window that is mentioned in the description is not the window such as European or Russia style. it’s just a small hole that better not to be opened :) but it’s not a minus it’s just a nuance
location is really nice just exactly in the city centre. close to train station and the market. pretty close from the bus stop to the airport. and in the lobby nice pub, so pity they don’t have cider there

United KingdomThere was very loud live music played in the bar area of the hotel until midnight the night we arrived. Very clearly audible from our room - several floor above! After a 9 hour flight this really wasn’t the most comfortable and relaxing welcome to Sri Lanka..
Very well located for the Fort area in Colombo and close to the Dutch Hospital area of the city with its restaurants, shops and bars. The rooms are spacious and well equipped and the hotel is a very good value for money.

United KingdomBooked a room with a City View but it was limited as the widows were obviously defective as they were scewed shut, fortunately no emergency occurred requiring us to exit through them. The Staff were cheerful and curtious but the Bar Staff wereeither strained or just slow ?? and although they made it clear to make the most of the offers in the restaurant and bar,, particularly at Happy Hour, it was not clear to which brands were part of the offer?
In the heart of Colombo The Steuart is very well located. The Staff were curtious and friendly and attended to any requirements requested.The breakfast cated for most needs (poached eggs particularly good) and the Hotel had a relaxed 'Vibe' about it, created by the Staff. Worth of a particular mention was 'Raja' a charming Gentleman at the 'Front of House' always ready to be most helpful.

United KingdomI have stayed in the Steuart several times before without issues. Unfortunately on this occasion we were let down, with no twin beds as ordered, no loo roll and only one damp towel provided for two persons. Be aware that the 'courtyard view' rooms in effect have no windows or view.
The location in Dutch Hospital is excellent. The hotel bar is very popular.

Polandthe room was a bit dark and the lighting not good, we had a feeling that AC “thermostat” was not working, the bottled water was for a multiple use and therefore we could not fully trust to drink it (it could be tap water), the room had many unfinished/old parts that you can’t see in the photo, the window was dirty, view to the buildings.
The staff was very helpful and nice, the room was huge, the running water gad good pressure and was hot (sometimes is an issue in the other places), the location was good, breakfast was very varied and delicious

IndiaSo we had an issue with towels not being kept in the washroom and when we asked for it they gave us 1 towel. When we checked back again, the person on the reception had a very lame answer that apparently the room is supposed to be for 1 guest so we gave 1 towel. The housekeeping guy later told us that they had miscounted and given more towels in other rooms leading to shortage, towels are a very basic requirement in a hotel which we should not need to ask and we can still be understanding if you are being honest rather than give lame answers. The issue was sorted though and we were given new towel the next morning. However, it will be good to train the staff on how to answer in the sticky situations.
1. Superb location 2. In general courteous staff 3. Excellent breakfast spread and in general the food and cocktails were very tasty when we had dinner there 4. The room was spacious with all the amenities
