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 KingdomStaff were very friendly, had our breakfast packed for us as we were leaving early morning for the Safari ride. Very helpful staff. However the safari was a waste of money and time. Will not recommend the Safari.

MalaysiaWas looking forward fr a good buffet breakfast as promoted, but it was downgraded to a la carte, much to our dismay. Reason was many didn't turn up fr breakfast the day earlier but we felt it was not an excuse.
Overall , everything was reasonably good.

United KingdomThere is no hotel communal area to sit/socialise really except the restaurant or foyer. We quite wanted a pre-dinner drink and to play cards with our children (since we were in two rooms) but had to retreat back to our rooms since there was no communal area for this (eg some tables overlooking the pool would be good).
We booked this accommodation on the day and got two triple rooms at a very reasonable price, after our driver recommended the hotel (accommodation for him too which always makes it easier for everyone). The pool was great and the hotel is modern and stylish and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Small supermarket opposite and a few places to eat although we ate in the hotel (which was good but I prefer a la carte to international buffets since I want more Sri Lankan food and less Chinese/western food!). Short drive to the town/lake. Good sized bathrooms, with a helpful drying line!

United Kingdom- The toilet smelled - Needs a good polish. - Has the potential to be a 5 star resort, just needs a good clean, including polishing of room furniture and regular cleaning of communal areas.
- Food at the buffet restaurant was very tasty. - There was a good spread of Sri Lankan cuisine - Staff spoke a very good level of English - A/C rooms - Easy access to Yala national park

Sri LankaWe had both Dinner and breakfast at this hotel. Food was good. But they do not re-fill the dishes when they are over. I think they only provide a limited quantity of food.
Hotel location has easy access. This is a big property with a nice pool. We stayed in a upper floor room and the view from our room was very nice. Room was spacious enough, very clean and neat. All the amenities were provided.
