Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Sri LankaI really enjoyed the stunning sea view and the peaceful atmosphere the hotel offers. The location is excellent. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-kept, and the ambiance gave a nice blend of comfort and seaside charm.

Hotel was very clean and tidy. I was accidentally charged twice by the receptionist for the room. Although, this was dealt with quickly and professionally.

MalaysiaThe only downside? The property is right next to a train track, and trains do come and go every few minutes — starting even before 5am until midnight! But to be honest, after 3 nights, we somehow got used to it.
We absolutely loved our stay at 50 By The Sea — the ocean view was nothing short of spectacular! 🌊✨ I could’ve easily stayed in bed all day just soaking in the peaceful sea view right from our room. The property felt like a hidden gem — private, secure, and so serene. We really appreciated the strict security and privacy; it made us feel safe and completely at ease throughout our stay. Although it’s located slightly away from the city centre, it wasn’t a problem at all — getting around was super easy (and affordable!) with TukTuk via PickMe. If we ever come back to Colombo, we’d still stay here again in a heartbeat. 🩵

CroatiaThere is no possibility of optional breakfast. However, it is possible to have breakfast in a separate bar in the same building but is entered from the outside.
Very good and clean accommodation. Good service for the value. Nearby there is a large and beautiful beach and several beachside restaurants. I would stay there again.

AustraliaThe room was nice and clean with a great view of the ocean. Bed was very comfortable to sleep on and I didn't wake up with a sore back which was a bonus. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Initially we booked the room for 2 nights but extended our stay for another 2 nights as we were very happy with the place. Excellent security downstairs to the apartment complex where there is someone there 24/7. That alone was a huge bonus and gave us peace of mind to venture around and enjoy our holiday.

IrelandIf you book this hotel please be advised that the traffic is insane right outside with noisy cars, trains and everything in between that stop only from 12am to 4am, so this can be very challenging.

Sri Lanka1. The building doesn't have a main entrance. It is quite confusing as the front facade - facing the main road has a restaurant, while one side has an ATM but no entrance, and the other side has a simple, almost-hidden side-entrance through a parking space. It seems dodgy to have an entrance to a beautiful place through a side, manned only by a security personnel (luckily helpful and kind). 2. The noise of the road is heard fully and abundantly in the room. It was like we slept on a very comfortable pavement on the side of the road. We barely got any sleep with trains, rowdy and loud boys singing with a bluetooth speaker at 2am, and vehicles zooming by on a Saturday night. The 'french-windows' need to be replaced with a sealed thick glass or other alternative that significantly reduces sound travelling into the room.
The room was neat and cosy, the bed was comfortable and the toilet was clean and nice. Basic amenities were available for a comfortable stay.

I loved this place. Very comfortable and clean. The staff is really helpful especially Prasad. My stay here for 18 nights has been really exceptional. There is noise from outside but i played deep sleep relaxation music on TV while sleeping. The security is great especially for female solo travelers. I’m gonna come again and stay here for sure.
