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.).

We loved our stay at The Panorama, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool was great and was set in a pretty garden with options for sunbathing and shade. We hardly left the property in the few days we were there! The food was absolutely top quality. Thank you Manjula 🙏 The delicious rice and curry and the most amazing sri lanka breakfast + a bbq one evening which was really tasty as well. All the staff were so friendly, kind and helpful. We will definitely be back to stay. Great place to stop on arrival or before departure, easy access to airport and negombo beaches etc.

The Panorama is a fantastic place to stay at the beginning or end of your holiday. It is a short transfer from the airport. The staff were exceptionally helpful, they met us at around 5am after our flight landed early in the morning. They didn't hesitate to give us a lovely late breakfast after our live-in after the flight! The owner was very helpful in recommending a boat trip to monkey Island on the lagoon , he organised a tuk tuk to take us to the boat. (A great trip, our two children ages 8 & 10 loved it). Our family room was very spacious with comfortable beds- gratefully received after a long night flight! There is a lovely little pool which was clean and great to cool off in. Highly recommended!

Sri LankaAt the time of my checking around 6.00pm no one was visible. The restaurant area, front desk and lobby were deserted. I rang a bell and a guy came from upstairs. He was expressionless and look like a zombie. There was little verbal communication. About 11.15 pm I requested a water bottle as there was nothing available in my room and I got a rude reply saying no room service after midnight. Luckily I got my order next morning around 6.30pm. I think this place has hardly hit by ongoing economic crisis in the Island. But there should be better budget hotels in Negambo for the same price.
It’s in a central location. Easy access to nearby restaurants and beach

United Stateswe stayed here for 7 days. staffs were good and friendly. Very helpful 👌 But Owner doesn't really talk a lot. He needs to improve on his customer service skills. Guy who worked at the kitchen didn't know how to make french toast and scrambled eggs. He cooked some traditional food and it was good. Last day of the stay he made some dry fish, I couldn't eat it because he didn't wash the dry fish properly and I could taste the sand. Please Improve the breakfast menu. Wi-Fi is horrible
I LOVE THE LOCATION. CLOSER TO BEACH AND RESTAURANTS.

IrelandThe food wasn't appetizing and the bedsheets had a funky smell. The pictures on booking.com do not reflect the reality of what we found. It felt and looked quite run down.
The staff was helpful and very friendly. Location was good, close to the beach and restaurants. Ok for one night stay if you are on a budget but wondering if you could get more comfort somewhere else with a similar price.

United KingdomOne one thing in particular. I thought the bedroom furniture was rather outdated. There was no real atmosphere at the property but there were plenty of guests. I was situated in the topmost room of the property up 2 flights of stairs and then outside across the roof.
The best thing about the property was the location which was just one road back from the beach area and there are a good selection of restaurants in the vicinity. There is a pool though I did not use it (charges apply for use though that was not a factor in not using) and nor did I eat at the hotel except for breakfast which I would say was average. The hotel manager and staff were all friendly and helpful with any questions.
