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 reviewWe stayed only very briefly after our arrival in Colombo, the staff were very helpful and accomodating. After a long flight the beds were so comfortable and we slept so well. It was fun to wander the streets early the next morning and watch all the kids heading to school.
Thanks for the review 🙏sir madam

Verified reviewWhat a nice place to rest within 10 minutes drive from the airport. After all the experiences in Asia we were pleasantly surprised. Beautiful and spotless interiors, comfy beds, caring and professional staff who arranged and paid for our airport transfer and without any sign of discomfort made sure we could depart at 3am. Thank you!
Thank you for your review sir madam.🙏🙏🙏

Verified reviewWe stayed for one night before flying back to the UK and had a great experience. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a short stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. A free 5-minute shuttle to the airport was included, which made things super easy. Breakfast (toast and coffee) was brought right to our room in the morning which was a nice touch! Definitely worth the money for the convenience and service.
Shower head needed fixing, not much pressure.
Thank you very mutch for the review

Verified reviewWinston’s welcome was warm & friendly. Thank you for your kind hospitality. Hotel wifi was excellent. The open airwell design of the hotel was really nice.
Nothing. As we arrived late directly from Bandaranayike airport (close to midnight) and left the next morning after breakfast, we missed out on getting to know the neighbourhood.
thank you very much for the review

Verified reviewAll quite new and well furnished. Lovely owner that really takes care
Water did not flow smoothly and had a brownish colour (probably our room wasn't used for some time). Suggest to keep water running a bit before people check in the room
Thank you for the review🙏🙏🙏

Verified reviewClose to airport; set back off the road so pretty quiet. "Free airport transfers" only applies to drop off. Was quoted US$20 for airport pickup; when Uber cost $3. Property seems unfinished - bare wires and holes in ceiling. Bed squeaky and uncomfortable. Breakfast average. We wouldn't stay here again.
thank you very mutch for the review When arriving at the hotel from the airport, if you do not use our luxury transportation service, you can also use other budget transportation services. Our breakfast is an English breakfast and we provide free transportation from our hotel to the airport.
