Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

LithuaniaSome rooms don't have AC, don't take them - they can be extremely hot. Rooms can be quite dark.
Location - it is right at the beach, you can just go swimming just with the swimming suit. Restaurants, bars and everything are close. Quite place, the noise from the street doesn't reach it.

United KingdomThere are quite a lot of mosquitos outside so wear some spray if you are sitting out on the balcony 🙂
Beautiful, clean and comfortable room. We had everything we needed- mosquito net, aircon, towels, hot water. Ideal location - plenty of restaurants and bars just at the end of the alley and the beach just a couple of minutes away. We booked one night at the beginning of our stay in Sri Lanka and one at the end. The staff were so helpful by letting us leave our large rucksacks with them between stays so we could travel around comfortably. Thank you so much!

GermanyThe owner forgot to send a taxi to pick us up at the airport because he confused the days. However it was no problem, because there are many taxis waiting at the airport for you. Expect to pay a little extra when booking at the airport. It was an honest mistake and he apologized kindly. It was quickly forgotten.
The room was exceptionally clean for this type of stay. The owner is a very friendly and an interesting guy who traveled many countries and connects well with his guests. The perfect place to stay in Negombo with high value for money. We felt welcome and safe. It's 20 meters away from the beach - however don't expect the beach in Negombo to be nice for swimming etc.

GermanyBreakfast is varied, everything is prepared upon request. The inner courtyard is like a small oasis. Due to its location on a small side street, it is very quiet. Beach can be reached in just a few steps. We use Angel Inn as a “stopover hotel” to the airport. Always my pleasure.

AustriaEverything was actually quite nice! Room for improvement: The towels could use more washing powder to get a bit of a smell. Exchange the cheap closet with a proper wooden clothes rack or construction. Mosquito „snail“ on the outside would be useful. The rooftop could use some attached in case you want guests to hang out there. Sea is not suitable for swimming in November (not Angel Inn‘s fault of course) Thanks for hosting us!
- well maintained rooms with traditional wooden windows and furniture (except the closet) - friendly staff - clean, bright room 5 & 6 - great wifi in room4-6 as router is in front. - 1 min walk to restaurants and mini mart (try zen café) - 50 meters to the beach - rooftop terrace - soap / a/c / fan / white sheets / mosquito nets - chill out in front of your room on the veranda - white tiled floor - good room rate

United KingdomBeach was the only disappointment but think it is ok further up. We only went for a walk along it as no time to enjoy it as we were departing on a plane.
Good guest house just off Lewis road and 2 minute walk to beach. (Beach is not for swimming as dirty at this end). Room was great - huge comfortable bed with mozzie net and fan. Free bottle of water. Good size clean bathroom. Would recommend is staying / leaving from airport. Was about 2km from Negombo train station and cost around 200r for tuk tuk.
