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...).

Humming Bird Suites is the place to stay if you are looking for an affordable and comfortable accommodation. It is a lovely villa with a terrace and a spacious hall. The rooms are clean and heaters are being installed so as to provide hot water in each room. Ragu is an exceptional host: he is kind, proactive, and ready to help with any needs such as booking long-distance buses and recommending places to enjoy Jaffna cuisine.

This was the perfect place to stay in Jaffna for us - it was close to everything or a tuk tuk ride away, we had a family room and it was very clean and spacious- it even had a fridge which was greatly appreciated. Internet was perfect. There was a small terrace where we got takeout and ate one evening. We caught up on laundry and the staff were so helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Belarusour room felt a bit too small, and it was connected to another one by a door. it was easy to hear a noisy family as early as 5–6 AM, who stayed there for one night. it would be helpful to print and hang information inside the rooms about quiet hours. it’s possible to use the washing machine, and it costs 1,000 LKR per wash, which I found a bit pricey. I also find it frustrating that most businesses in Sri Lanka don’t take responsibility for bank fees when paying with cards, and instead charge an extra percentage. at least card payments were accepted, which is a plus. also, the bedsheets on one of the beds were spotty, but they were changed without any issue. another problem in the room was a strong smell of urine coming from the drain, which was resolved by placing a toilet brush over it, although there must be a better solution for it.
the house itself is nice and has a special ambiance. the location is convenient, so you can reach some places on foot. Raghu is a very cheerful and attentive host. the beds are comfortable, and I slept very well all three nights — which is extremely important to me. there’s a cozy terrace upstairs where we could do some computer work, meet other guests, and eat.

NetherlandsIf you sleep at the street side there was from 5:30h-22h a lot of street noice a lot of honking, so if you are a light sleeper it could be a little issue. You could also hear a lot from the other room in our room, luckily we had a quit neighbor.
This stay has very comfortable beds and a very friendly host, who is always ready to help. There is also free drinking water and you can use the washing machine for a little price.

A lovely new hotel run by two really helpful and friendly guys. The room was spacious and clean with great a/c and a fan. The shower was great! They have a washing machine or facilities to do your own and places to dry your clothes. They organised a tuktuk for us for the day at a good rate so that we could explore surrounding Jaffna and go up to Point Pedro and some beaches. Both the guys were so so helpful! They also organised an electric kettle and tea tray for us which was fantastic. The bed was really comfortable and all the bed linen and towels were the nicest and cleanest we’ve had in all Sri Lanka! Thank you!
