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...).

BelgiumIt was a 5 to 10 minutes drive by Tuktuk to the city center, but this made the hotel the perfect place to relax and get away from the city chaos.
We loved the kindness of the staff. They were the first one to help. The room, place for eating and swimming pool with its beauty made us feel so relaxing. It was nice coming 'home' after a visit to the busy city.

GermanyVery minor things: the Wi-Fi was not very strong. The location is nice when it comes to the jungle view, but there is a road right next to the hotel, which you hear. But I didn’t feel too disturbed-would still 100% recommend!
The hotel is very nice, our room was super pretty. Everything was clean, the pool a welcome refreshment in the evening. The decorations very nice.The food was excellent. The best part was our wonderful host Lasi. He is the heart and soul of this hotel, thanks to whom I would 100% recommend anyone to visit! He made us feel so comfortable. We arrived super early and were allowed to sleep in a free available room while ours was being cleaned and we received complimentary tea and coffee. We got a super nice breakfast once at 6 am because we wanted to start a tour early. On the day of the departure Lasi went to the train station for us before 5 am to get the train ticket and waited in the queue!

United KingdomIt was very noisy at night, you could hear people in the lobby and other rooms sometimes late into the night. There is also a tannoy nearby that plays chanting from 5am till 6am every morning which woke us up. They do not have a card machine, thankfully we had cash so we’re able to pay for our stay but had we not had enough cash we would have had to get a tuk tuk to get some. It is a little far from the city centre so you will need a tuk tuk to get around.
The property was very nice and the room was spacious, it has a lovely little pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely. There is a tuk tuk driver on site who can take you places or they can arrange one for you.

Czech RepublicWe enjoyed the stay at Veraima Kandy very much. Rooms vere clean and spacious. Staff was very kind and helpful. We also took cooking lesson here. Mr. Gayan drove us around the city, where we visited beautiful botanical garden and then he took us to local market to buy various kinds of vegetable and fish for our cooking class. Cooking class was lead by Mr. Manjula who taught us how to prepare selection of traditional delicious curries, which we enjoyed later at our dinner.

Unfortunately, we could not able to use the swimming pool, which is well maintained as well. The breakfast served is really impressive. The staff is so helpful with fulfilling our needs.

SwedenThe room was so beautiful, spacious room with nice furnishing. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful nature, lots of different plant and trees. The pool area was a nice place to relax by in the warm days. We had dinner two days in a row at the hotel. They served local food and it was absolutely delicious. The best thing about veraima is the amazing staff. They are really helpful and kind. We would definitely come back to veraima again.

Czech RepublicWe had an amazing 2 nights stay - had a warm welcome after arrival, staff was super friendly and helpful with everything we asked about - a private yoga lesson, train tickets, laundry etc.. their tuk-tuk driver Susantha who took us around, was also a nice and modest person. Very cosy hotel, with enjoyable shady restaurant surrounded by greenery and pleasant pool area. I especially appreciate a small, but for me important thing - usage of metal straws (instead of one-time plastic ones). Thank you again :)!
