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.).

United KingdomThe hot water wasn't hot around 2pm on two different occasions. The room may come with a tub, but the water needs to be hot too. A number of issues with the TV. I arrived in my room but no towels had been left. Had to ring room service. The room service food wasn't great - I ordered a margherita pizza but it was very cheaply made. I decided to eat across the road at the Sheraton, including for breakfast, for the rest of the time. I think starting breakfast at 7am is a little late. I arrived at past midnight having travelled for 16 hours. I was tired but the check-in process was slow. So much paper shuffling, stapling and looking for things. It took half an hour before I was in my room. Staff should serve one person at a time from start to finish and the process streamlined. Really not good enough. Where was a free map of the city on check-in? This is really basic practice in any hotel claiming to be 4 Star or above. The hotel shouldn't quote prices in US dollars - I'm not from the US so this is meaningless. Use the local currency please. Check that you pay in the local currency on your credit card - I specifically requested this and I suspect if I hadn't it would have been put through in US dollars at a preferential rate to the hotel. No ability to add room service food or other purchases to a tab, had to 'pay as you go' which was frustrating.
The location opposite the railway station was easy to communicate with drivers. Nearby supermarket down 19th Lane. Quiet and clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The infinity pool was cool.

United Arab EmiratesRoom service food was not good. Order a sandwich and the bread was stale and the fries were rock hard. There wasn’t a lot of space to hang your clothes.
The location is faced right at the ocean and you can see the trains passing by. The staff were absolutely lovely and the interior of the hotel and the room were stunning.

FranceThe neighborhood is mainly comprised of the same kind of hotel or official/governmental places, and doesn't have much appeal
High class hotel by the sea front, with a spa, multiple restaurants and a really nice rooftop with swimming pool and bar. Ideal to spend 1 or 2 days to relax in Colombo before venturing further into Sri Lanka or taking a flight back at the Negombo airport.

United KingdomWould be good to have more sunbeds around the rooftop pool and maybe add a couple more items to the lounge bar food menu.
Loved the rooftop infinity pool and lounge bar overlooking the city. There was a great little gym, with a room each for weights and cardio. The decor and interiors were tastefully done and it was nice to people-watch the commuters on the train stop outside the front. Would also recommend the couples massage in the spa - very good value for money. We have recommend to friends to stay here on their upcoming colombo trip.

United Arab EmiratesSadly, when arriving our room was not ready, they asked us to wait half an hour for it to be cleaned. However it took an hour and a half in the end as they gave our room away to someone else. Not a great start to the trip. Be mindful that the room has terrible lighting, there wasn't a 'main' light in the room or bathroom so it made getting ready e.g. Make up and skin care, very difficult in the evening. As mentioned before, this is a really busy hotel and large. You are often waiting a long time for the lift and the rooftop pool has VERY limited seating so isn't much space to relax.
The hotel has a good location, lovely decor and accomodating staff. It is very easy to get around, the rooftop infinity pool has an incredible view of the ocean and there are 3 main food and drink areas. The Japanese restaurant had a great atmosphere and fantastic food options but is very overpriced. The room is comfortable, clean and provides a great city view (if you get a top floor). It is a very popular hotel and lots of westerners/tourists stay here.

SingaporeThe only thing was that the pool area on the top level didn’t have many beds and was quite a small long narrow area but the bar area was large and there were some lounging sofas there. The views were excellent but not a lot of shade and it was very hot on the tiled floor. Pool was nice though.
The staff were really lovely and helpful at all times and helped me organise a small taxi tour. The bathrooms were very nice and “Japanese” standard. The twin room was comfortable and the beds wide. We didn’t have breakfast but there is also a small coffee shop on the reception level. The location is excellent with beautiful views over the sea from the top level
