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 StatesNothing - everything is great
I’ve stayed all over Colombo and this is my favorite spot. I stayed on my way into Sri Lanka and again on the way out. The family room is very big with high ceilings and a big balcony. Super clean. Blazing fast internet. Great AC unit in case it’s hot. Good location next to lots of restaurants. Great hosts who are very communicative.

RomaniaLocation was pretty quiet, 10 min from the train station at Kollupitiya. Room was quite big, with AC and very clean. Kitchen and fridge were also available, so you can cook something light if needed. Close also to a shopping mall with many dining and shopping possibilities, and also some cafes and supermarkets available. The hosts were very kind and supportive, flexible with the check-in and check-out. Definitely recommend for a few days in Colombo.

Such a good stay in Colombo! The owners were super friendly and helpful, it’s so clean and comfortable, it was the perfect location for us - really quiet at night, close to restaurants and the mall, sea just at the end of the road, 20 minute tuk tuk to the main railway station. Would recommend!

United KingdomThis is a good place, however, the bathroom could do with a deep clean to remove limescale from the glass and chrome. Also, a mosquito plug would be a useful addition.
A very well equipped place, in a fairly central location. The owner was very good at communicating pre check-in.

ChinaThe power outages made checking in a little difficult because the doorbell is electric.
It was more of an Airbnb-style stay than the typical family fun guesthouse in Sri Lanka. I had access to a kitchen where I could cook. The hosts were polite and I only saw them when I checked in and out. The room was quite comfortable with a very efficient A/C and an actual desk with office chair that I could work at.

United KingdomOn going construction on a building site nearby which made the place rather noisier than ideal at times. However, this wasn't the fault of the property and can be a problem just about anywhere. You have to take pott luck when booking.
Beautiful location, in a smart residential and commercial quarter of central Colombo, with the ocean just at the bottom of the road, and a large modern mall just around the corner where you could eat inexpensively at the several food outlets, have coffee etc on the terrace overlooking the sea. The host Farook was super helpful in any query that I had and took good care of me. I very appreciated his many helpful suggestions.
