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...).

IndiaGreat job. Keep up the good work.
Nice property. Dulip the host did a good job in making us comfortable at the homestay. He is a starting entrepreneur managing the homestay on his own. He is the host, the manager, the chef, security, housekeeper...... Does all of it himself as a starting business and does a good job in ensuring his guests are comfortable. Included Dinner and breakfast were awesome and the portions were generous, sufficient for 3 meals rather than one. The room was spacious with lots of sitting space outside as well. The property has a pool and lake view.

RussiaThe hotel area is green and well-groomed. But the rooms definitely need more attention and a facelift. This shortcoming was corrected by the friendliness of the staff, the location and the excellent early morning Yala safari.

AustraliaWe needed a fridge however that should not be expected in this type of budget accommodation. Staff obliged by sharing their fridge and then hurried after us by motorbike when we forgot to take out our medicines when we left. Note: not a criticism. Driver accommodation is not available here.
This accommodation is located beside the lake at the end of a quite long and narrow road so it is very quiet and peaceful. There are six double - triple rooms in two separate buildings, each with its outdoor covered dining and relaxation area with views of the lake. We enjoyed the clean pool and lovely garden and environment. Breakfasts were continental with omelettes, toast, fruit and fruit juice. We were able to also have some Sri Lankan breakfast food when it was served to local visitors. Dinner was included - great because you are far from any restaurants - and it was voted number two of the best of 23 dinners we had in the country. The rooms [ we had three] were clean, well equipped with furniture, and comfortable. The bathroom was as clean as any similar accommodation in Sri Lanka which is to say that the washbasin, shower and toilet were really clean however cleaning around the edges of bottom of walls etc could be improved. The staff were always approachable, helpful and focused on service, providing extra services such as washing clothes for us and keeping medicines in their fridge. Value for money for this level of accommodation. We enjoyed our stay.

RomaniaBecause of the location, we had some small animals like geckos, little frogs, and bugs in the room. There's no real way to keep them out. There are quite a few mosquitoes, but the host provides burning coils to help with them (it didn't help too much) If there are other guests, the pool can get a bit crowded, and there are only two sun loungers. The food is cheap but you get what you paid for.
The location is right by Yoda Lake, so the view is absolutely stunning. The yard is really nice with lots of swings and tables to chill at. The green grass against the blue lake is just beautiful. The pool is super clean and perfect for a dip after a safari.

A very kind host and friendly staff. Beautiful location with the view and the breeze from the lake. Clean pool. Great relaxation. Not the most modern type of lodging , a nice environment, eco friendly, full of greenery. Food was delicious. Definitely we will return!!!!!
