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 came across this hotel by chance since we got late coming down from Colombo due to traffic. Even though it was late at night we still got a very warm welcome from the staff, we even got to light the oil lamp as a traditional welcome and a nice welcome drink. Since it was late we ordered food from the restaurant downstairs. They served us quickly knowing we were tired. The food was heavenly. The restaurant staff was very happy to serve us even at late night. The room was as expected in the photos very clean with a nice aroma and the bedding was amazing. We slept extremely well and feasted on a fabulous breakfast the next day. The outdoor dining is nice in the morning with the lake view. All the staff were all smiles throughout our stay. I was extremely happy that we were attended to by everyone there. I’m glad we came here all of a sudden with no prior plans but it was a fantastic experience.

United KingdomI didn't notice when booking that the hotel was on a main road. The floor of the room and the bathroom were a little dirty and the bathroom a little tired and run down. Wifi was very slow.
The staff were amazing, wonderfully polite and helpful. Truly Sri Lankan people are some of the nicest I have ever met. Breakfast included a lovely juice and fruit platter.

SingaporeThe property is very tired and not so clean. Lots of mosquitos in my room. The bathroom and room itself were OK but you can see lots of wear and tear and age. Because you're so close to the lake, the noise was a lot. There was an ice cream tuk tuk outside that played the same tune over and over all day. The stairs are all wood so it's noisy with got traffic outside the room door. Not so peaceful. The air con is very loud and the window at the top of the door means there's light shining into the room all night.
Hotel is central beside the lake. Staff are friendly.

United StatesThe couch in the room wasn't the most comfortable, but the bed was great. The AC leaked water onto the desk. If we hadn't packed our bag the night before, it could have been a catastrophe, but thankfully nothing was damaged.
Big, well equipped room with a view of the lake. Easy walk to the Temple of the Tooth. Wifi was very good, among the best we had in Sri Lanka. The food at the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. The room was a bit more expensive than many of the other places we've stayed in Sri Lanka, but it was well worth it and an incredible value.

FranceThe room wasn't clean ( dust) and the bed sheets, towels and pillows were full of yellow stains. Noisy hotel in general, plus some people took a room to make a party and WE really had to insist to get the staff go UP and say something. We gave our laundry and got it back quick but still wet! Very expensive hotel.
The staff tried to do their best but nothing corresponded to the supposed standards of the hotel. Good location though, 10 minutes walk from the temple of the tooth.
