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.).

Czech RepublicWe stayed only for one night, as we left in the morning for the airport. But the hotel is really exceptional - the staff, the facilities even the breakfast options. We had dinner at the rooftop bar and the food was delicious and the staff was so welcoming. We would definitely stay again.

AustraliaHad to ask for things, like a hairdryer. I understand that it is cost/environment saving for guests to share, however, basic stuff needs to be provided in each room especially for guests who’ve travelled far & are tired. Being asked many times how we are enjoying our stay is cumbersome. I appreciate you need to do this, but don’t do it quite so much please.

PhilippinesThat I didn’t stay there longer 😀. I have stayed in Colombo hotels for a couple years for work and wish I would have given this place a chance as it’s definitely a contender with the bigger hotels that I’m accustomed to staying at there.
When I visit Colombo I often stay at the more well know hotels there in the city but wanted to try something different this time and was overly impressed. To be honest I have driven past this hotel at least a hundred times in the past and never noticed is to when I arrived for my 2 night stay I was a little hesitant. Was immediately greeted and given the royal treatment. The room was just as impressive as the friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again when I return to Colombo next week. Breakfast was also better than expected

United StatesThe only issue for us is the airport shuttle. We searched for a hotel with an advertised shuttle. In the US, that usually means a free shuttle. We naively thought this was the case at this hotel. We paid $40 for the ride to airport. Had we known this, we would have chosen a different hotel. It is our fault but I wanted to let others know.

United Arab EmiratesThe A/C would not budge from the mid to high 20s. The rooms, while comfy and stylish, are quite small. Also, please be advised: the in-room dining has hidden charges that tack on another 25% to the bill. And for me, the food (a sandwich) I ordered arrived after an hour and a half... and let's just say, it provided little to no sustenance.
Modern. Clean. Well-situated. Near the main road and overlooking the lagoon. Great Wi-Fi. Massive in-room TVs with Netflix included. A wonderful breakfast buffet with delicious food and juice options. We also loved the rooftop pool. The water is clean and clear, and the views are stunning.

the room is excellent , What I recommend for improvement is to pay attention more to clients demands - example : a quiet room should not be offered one next to the elevators ! ;-) except this , I am highly recommend this hotel for an excellent stay in Colombo!

SingaporePerhaps given it's newness, but I encountered a few issues right away. I checked in late at night and found the door to my assigned room ajar. I was assured it was simply an error by housekeeping but it was a little disconcerting at 1am. Additionally, the large framed picture over my bed actually fell off the wall and onto my head the first night. Naturally it was pretty unpleasant, but I wasn't injured - the sound of it hitting the headboard first woke me up so I had a chance to react before it crashed onto me. Of course I reported this to the staff and I was a bit annoyed and their lack of response, not even an apology. They simply wrote down my room number. It was generally a good stay, but this certainly put a damper on things right away.
It's a newer hotel so the facilities are in good order, clean, rooms are good size. The breakfast is a good selection and the room that houses it has a lovely view. The rooftop restaurant had an ok ambiance but beautiful views; I happened to go for dinner right around sunset. There was a very loud TV program happening on a screen in the main part of the restaurant, I assume for a sport, that took away from the ambiance, but I'm not sure if that's normal. The food was good. The cafe on the reception area floor is also very cute; I just had a snack there, but the staff were lovely.
