How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewHad an amazing stay in suriya guest. The staff, food and rooms were faultless. Rooms were even nicer in person. My favourite place I stayed while travelling Sri Lanka.

Verified reviewThe property is wonderful. The staff are exceptional. The location is easy walking distance to the town sights. The room was big, very comfortable with stocked minibar and couch, big bathroom, comfortable bed. The shower was lovely water pressure and hot. The hotel had lovely common areas and fireplaces. Breakfast was good, ours was included in our booking cost and was less in quantity than other breakfasts we have received. The cafe in the hotel is excellent. Banana pancakes are recommended! They have filtered water and heaters in rooms.
The hot water is tricky to work. I recommend you make sure you have it worked out before bedtime/reception closed.

Verified reviewAll the staff are really friendly and helpful.Very helpful with local recommendations and arranging transport. The well stocked fridge in the room was a nice touch. The place has a nice homely and relaxed feel. It right near the lake which was nice to run around (the entrance fee was a bit of joke for a lake). I would stay here again as it was good value for money and comfortable with a great breakfast. You are only 15-20 minutes walk from the centre , but the guest house will arrange any taxis or Tuk Tuk that you require.
There is a fair close by which means it can get a little noisy until around 11pm. I know the Guest House and locals are trying to get the fair removed. Breakfast was good but our evening meal was pretty poor. I did think the water refill charge for each bottle was a bit excessive and this first time we had come across it in 4+ weeks in Sri Lanka. I don't think you should be charged for drinking water or just charge a flat fee for the stay (or build into room rate).

Verified reviewClean and cozy accommodation, well located. There was also an hairdryer which is difficult to find in Sri Lanka’s stays. The staff was very polite and friendly, they even borrowed us two umbrellas to go out as it was about to rain
Just as a small note, the bathroom has an always open ventilation grid which made the bathroom very cold

Verified reviewVery friendly staff, great breakfast (we loved the banana pancakes), very spacious rooms and comfortable rooms, great and cozy breakfast area on the first floor. Also nice to have big couches outside the room to relax. We used the yoga and mediation area on the top floor for some sport and yoga practice, great to have this option with nice 360 views on the city. High value for money.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe hotel grounds were beautiful and immaculately kept. The rooms and communal areas also very very clean and well maintained. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. We had our toddler with us and they are well equipped with high chairs and games to keep them occupied. As a bonus they also offer a cooking class! This was the highlight of our stay and I would highly recommend this :)
A fridge in the room would Be great as we travelled with a toddler. Though they were very accomodating and kept his food/snacks in there fridge downstairs for us.

Verified reviewThe hotel is set in a large house with plenty of communal spaces, big windows, and fireplaces—very cosy. The rooms are spacious, and the service is kind. Everything we asked for was provided with a smile. We enjoyed a beautifu; Yoga room in the attick with stunning views of the town. Perefct for families.
The weather was very stormy, so things were wet and cold, but the hotel staff did everything they could to make us comfortable.
