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...).

AustraliaWe experienced lmited wifi and low water pressure, but these issues are not the property’s fault
Clean rooms, friendly staff and lovely breakfast. Great location They picked us up from airport at midnight for a very fair price and organised a tuk tuk tour of Negombo in the morning. Breakfast was lovely served by the pool near the little canal at the back. Quiet in the hotel.

United KingdomBreakfast was plenty but really average. Had too many sweet cakes, with a sandwich with a thin piece of omelette. Would have been nice to have a proper omelette with more greens. To be fair, that is just our preference so maybe other guests likes confectionary cakes in the morning. The initial room we were given had a sewage smell, hot water wasn't working and the walls were really thin. But we arrived after midnight so we didn't make too many remarks. However the next day the hot water was still not working so they moved us to another room which was also a double and it was much much much x 10 more comfy. Aircon was working well, room smelt better and hot water was working. I just wished they gave this room to us from the beginning.
Place looks new from the outside, staffs were kind and helpful. The view of the canal was nice in the morning. I went swimming and the owner was very proactive in getting one of the staff to pass me a towel.

Sri LankaI recently had the pleasure of staying at the 3R Resort by Bluebird, and it was an unforgettable experience. The resort offers a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and relaxation. One of the biggest highlights was the beautiful swimming pool — crystal clear and surrounded by lush greenery, it’s the ideal place to unwind during the day or enjoy a peaceful swim in the evening. Another standout feature is the resort's location right near the Hamilton River. It adds a serene and natural charm to the whole experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a quiet retreat in nature, 3R Resort by Bluebird is the perfect escape. Highly recommended!🫰💐
