How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewOnly thing they welcomed us warmly wen we arrived The Below comment I want to send for the information of Booking.Com and you may not publish, but take appropriate action. Actually on checking in I paid for the both rooms using my credit card. Then the person at the Reception informed me that their Bank has not received the money and the card machine did not print the receipt. However in my phone I received the message saying money was deducted from my account. But they said they did not receive money and demanded to pay again. Using my credit card I paid for the second time again. That time also I received the message in my phone sayigng the transaction done. But they said again that they have not received the money. I showed them the bank messages I received and also called my bank and they said money had already been deducted from me. After discussing further, they allowed us to go to the rooms on the condition that we have to pay when checked out if they could not confirm from their bank. next day. Next day morning we left early without taking the breakfast(though it was included in the room rate). At checking out they said they have not received the money and asked me to pay again and as they were not accepting the evidence I have I paid in cash for the third time. They said that if they received money they will return to me. After our visit we returned to Sri Lanka and I checked with my bank and the visa card center and they confirmed me that two transactions done successfully and money has been the money has been already transferred to their account. Then I informed them about it and requested to return my money(twice of room rates amounting to some 14,000 INR). They informed me that they have not received money and giving various excuses. Then after several requests that I informed that I am going to complain this to Booking. Com if they do not return my money. Then they got scared and demanded INR 3500/- as bank charges to transfer the money.
. Until then, they did not admit that they had received money. I did not agree to pay bank charges as it is their fault.Subsequently, one of my freinds in India visited them and collected money from them and sent me. In my opinion this Hotel cannot be treated as a reliable place. Secondly, it is a highly unclean place, I will attach some photos for your information. The Bed linen had scars and the toilet condition was hopeless. The bathroom floor carpets have not changed for years I think. Actually, it is selected, as it is a 4-star hotel. But in no way it can be treated as a 4-star hotel and needs to be reassessed. This is the experience I had in this place, and we were totally frustrated, and it was the first time we faced a similar situation. Thank you and this is for your information.

Verified reviewRoom and view was beautiful, one of the best I've seen in my life. So surreal. Room was clean, bathroom and toilet in good working order. Staff were helpful and kind. Rooms look exactly as they are shown in the pictures.
Initially the air conditioning in the room wasn't working, they eventually asked me to switch rooms and everything was great thereafter. Apart for the room the rest of the place looks a bit run down and the pictures aren't that accurate.
