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 KingdomNothing really. A good convenient guest house for its low price.
A good choice for a short stay fairly near to beaches and also the airport. I arrived from the airport much earlier than check in time but was made to feel very welcome by Kumara and Himanchi and my room was ready for me. The guest house is by a road that does get quite busy during the day and so is noisy. The bed was comfortable and had an excellent full mosquito net. Decent aircon. Decent shower. There was a safe for valuables. Fridge in bedroom and free bottles of water. Breakfast was good. No evening meal available there when I was staying but a quiet time of year for them. A short and very cheap tuktuk ride to the beaches or to the town to eat. I don't think there are many restaurants close to the hotel. The fish market is just a few minutes walk away and worth a visit in the morning. Staff at the hotel were excellent, very friendly and helpful. They gave me a free lift to the bus station for my departure to Colombo.

United KingdomNo view from room, windows frosted, however I realise this is difficult with a one story property. Nowhere to sit outside in the shade. A shame the restaurant is no longer open as I purposely chose this hotel because description of property indicated it had.
Room was quiet and cool. I asked for simple breakfast which was good. Owner very friendly and attentive.

PolandAn atmospheric old-style house with full comfort - a large comfortable room, impeccable cleanliness, efficient AC. Located just a short drive from the airport, ideal for the first or last night of a trip to Sri Lanka. The owner was so kind to drive us to the airport at 4.30 am to catch an early flight. Some interesting local life nearby - fishermen drying their catch on the beach, colourful boats, some nice colonial time architecture.

AustraliaWe only stayed a night and left the next day, so not much to feedback.
The breakfast was yum. Sri Lankan omlette, juice, sausage and toast with butter and jam The staff were friendly and when we were running late after going to pick up our tuktuk they were accommodating and didn't charge us for the extra few hours. Friendly, welcoming and the airport pick up was amazing especially landing at 12am. The room is spacious and they were kind enough to carry our luggage to our rooms

ChinaThis was the worst night I had during my 14 days stay in Sri Lanka! There were cockroaches on the bed and pillow, and long worms in the drawer. After showing the cockroaches to the staff, they agreed to change us to another room, but they made us wait in the lobby for more than half an hour before a dusty room was cleaned out for us. While waiting, the staff just place the pillow which with cockroaches on the dining room tables, and the bugs crawled in the drawers came out to the living room. The next morning, I found another very large cockroach again in the toilet, surrounded by countless small cockroach seeds. The breakfast containers was left open in the dining room over the night, you can image countless bugs and cockroaches crawled over it. Very, very dirty accommodation! absolutely disgusting! Too disappointed! (I have uploaded the photos of cockroaches on bed and in room) Don't stay here, it will ruin your holiday.
Absolutely disgusting!
