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...).

United KingdomWe paid for a villa with a private pool however, found that we were also connected to the main kitchen meaning staff were always close by, therefore limiting privacy.
The staff and owner are very friendly, the facilities were both clean and relaxing, staff incredibly helpful and couldn't do enough to help us. A retreat from the busy city of Colombo.

IndiaNothing! Except that the WIFI in the bedrooms was dodgy sometimes
The Hosts were exceptionally hospitable! The Villa was very comfortable, we planned to stay there for 2 nights and ended up extending it to 6 nights! I'd highly recommend the Colombo Villa Collection to anyone visiting Colombo, it is close to everything yet nestled away from all the noise and hustle. We will be coming back for sure!

Really spacious and comfortable. Huge kitchen and living room area and bed, big bathroom and a nice balcony too. Also off the main busy road but still a short and cheap tuktuk / car ride away from all of Colombo’s best sites.

AustraliaZero. Staff were incredible. Rooms spotless
The warmest welcome one could wish to find . Particularly at 11pm. Owner Rukie was not only there to greet us after our flight, she provided refreshments from her own supply and then non intrusively was a wealth of information. Breakfast from the staff was incredible. The place was spotless. This is not a hotel, nor a villa. It is a home away from home. Greeted by Rohane the next morning, this couple are definitely in the right business. Thank you for a truly amazing stay. My only complaint is that we stayed one night. . Like general mcarthur, we shalt return.

United StatesBeautiful family run villa just on the outskirts of Colombo bordering Nugegoda. Both Rohan and Rukie are very kind warm and welcoming. I was extreme touched by the vegan 🌱 Bibikkan they brought in as a treat for my 50th birthday. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very cozy. The breakfasts are FABULOUS. They both really go above and beyond with local recommendations, laundry and even kept my suitcase safe while I traveled Sri Lanka for 2 weeks. This is an exceptional option in Colombo and a great value - don’t even hesitate to book here if you are lucky to find availability!

United KingdomIt's a little distance from the city centre - which I didn't mind as transport in tuk tuks is so easy and the plus is the quietness of the area.
Very comfortable place to stay with great hosts who took the time to get to know me. As a solo traveller I really appreciated that. Nice swimming pool and outside space Very comfy bed - probably the best I'd had in two weeks of travelling around Sri Lanka. Good advice on places to eat. I'd definitely stay here again if I come back to Colombo.

Sri LankaI recently stayed at Ara by Colombo Villas and it was an incredible experience. It's right in the city, so everything is super convenient, yet the place is amazingly peaceful and quiet. The villa is beautiful, with lovely gardens and stylish interiors. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it easy to relax after a busy day. The staff were wonderful—really friendly and always ready to help. If you're looking for a perfect blend of city life and tranquility, I can't recommend Ara by Colombo Villas enough!

A Tranquil Escape in the Heart of the City: Nestled amidst the bustling city of Colombo lies a gem of tranquility - Ara by Colombo villas. My recent stay at this idyllic retreat was nothing short of exceptional; a perfect blend of urban convenience and peaceful seclusion. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm of the villa. The architecture exuded elegance and sophistication, with a modern twist that seamlessly integrated with the surrounding cityscape. The villa itself was a haven of comfort and luxury. The spacious living areas were tastefully decorated, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The bedrooms were elegantly furnished, offering a restful sanctuary after a day of exploring the city. The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that every need and desire was catered to with utmost care and attention to detail. The villa's location was another aspect that truly set it apart. Despite being situated in the heart of the city, the property felt like a world away from the noise and chaos of urban life. Its strategic location allowed for easy access to the city's attractions, yet provided a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of the day. In conclusion, my experience at the Villa Accommodation was nothing short of extraordinary. From the impeccable service to the luxurious amenities and serene surroundings, every aspect of my stay was meticulously curated to ensure a memorable and rejuvenating experience.
