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 LankaThe next hotel playing loud music
Nice hotel but needs a little bit more of care. The staff was really kind. Music unfortunately loud to the near hotels until 10pm but we had fun dancing on the terrasse. If we wanted an early night sleep that will have been difficult. I was afraid in the beginning as they were not so good review but we felt good in the hotel and the room was really confortable. 5 min walking to the beach. But not a beach to swim directly. I recommend to go to the rstaurant La buranella near the hotel. Sweet family there!

AustraliaThere was a party outside my bedroom both mornings at 7am. People were telling and laughing and playing extremely loud music. I am presuming it was the staff as I didn’t see any other tourists staying at the hotel in my 2 nights there. But you get what you pay for. It was cheap!
Great location m as it is close to the Doctor’s House and we were going there for Saturday night party. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were spacious and clean.

Sri LankaThe pool was disgusting and unusable, which for many is a main factor when booking a hotel in Sri Lanka.
The rooms were freezing cold & crisp, which is perfect in Sri Lanka. Staff were friendly.

Sri LankaThey didn't able to provide the room towels until the night. We had to wait until then to take shower. Also they did only provide just two sugar packets and tea packets for the whole two night I spent. Bottled water only for the first day, and didn't get any water for my second day. There weren't any TV channels in the TV.
Location was good. Easy access from the Galle road. Walking distance to the beach. Room was clean. Bathroom with Toiletries and good water pressure. AC was good.
