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 reviewThe host is really nice and speaks good English. The house is easy to find, the room is good, with both fan and mosquito nets next to the bed. The bathroom (even if you seared it with other guests), is clean and have a good light(something I miss in other places).
The room can be really warm at night, but I found an extra fan I borrowed.
Thanks you for your comments. It is important for my future improvements.

Verified reviewThis guesthouse was my number one location here in Sri Lanka, I could have easily extended my time here. The facilities were above my expectation, very clean and spacious with a balcony and a kitchen dining veranda, plus a living room and bathroom (with hot water). The host Anura and his wife were the friendliest, good hearted couple, nothing was too much trouble for them, they really made my stay comfortable and easy, the cooking was healthy and tasty. I can recommend this guesthouse, ideal for relaxation and taking a much needed rest from travelling.
thank you very much for your comments. 🙏🙏

Verified reviewReally lovely, relaxing stay with very friendly family! The house itself is very impressive and the room was very clean and spacious. The host is very thoughtful of the guests, providing an adapter for charging our phone and a plug in bug repellent just incase for when we opened the windows (there was no issue with this however). There is also a very convenient common area on the relaxing balcony outside where you can use the provided dishes and dining table to eat, also coffee and tea provided. The owner was very kind, giving us great directions for our journey to Negombo the next day. Would highly recommend! 😊
thank you very much for your comments.

Verified reviewBreakfast was sumptuous. It was big - so I had to request to take some away before I start so as there is no left-over. The friendliness of the owner Mr. Aruna stood out. The place was so quiet that I am mulling to always choosing the home-stays rather than expensive, noisy, hotels.
A bulb in the bathroom focusing over the mirror will be a good idea.
noted all to correct . thanks for your comment. it will help me to improve my services. thank you Mr. Ramesh.

Verified reviewBy far one of the best homestays I've been to in Sri-Lanka!! There was a perfect balance between your own intimacy yet great hospitality! It was super clean and there's everything you need. It's also so close to the beach and the transports. I had a lovely stay in this beautiful house with such a welcoming couple.
Thank you very much for your comments. It is very useful to me to improve my service.
