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 LankaI traveled with my family of 4 ( 11/8/25-13/8/25). The room suggested for us ,through the website was for 76USD. When we reached there the room reserved to us was a very basic one without A/C, with very limited space not acceptable for any family at all. No kattle, no TV (not available in any room i guess )and the room was dark as balcony was facing some trees and roofs of nearby houses. It was nothing like well lit rooms in the photos. It was horrible experiens and my kids were very disapointed and we had no choice as it was late, but to upgrade to sea side room for additional cost of 8000/=(26 USD) for 2 nights than the one we initially reserved. I would suggest all guest travelling with families, should double check the facilities that your room provides after booking through this site ,with the hotel as this institution has bright, well sunlit spacious rooms as well as gloomy little tin cans with more beds and no basic requirements such as a furniture to keep your stuff.....Be careful you may get trapped just like me....
Location is good. Rooms with balcony facing sea side are good . Breakfast is ok with few choices. Staff is kind and helpful.

RussiaI could not settle in this hotel. When I came to them at night after a long road. They did not have a booked number. I asked them to at least cancel the reservation without a fine and went to look for another hotel at 11 o’clock in the evening. But the hotel did not cancel my race and made it as if I had settled. Now they demand money for housing. I do not recommend this hotel!

Czech RepublicUnfortunately, a big disappointment. The photos promise luxury, but the reality is more like a prison cell, with a balcony overlooking a roof and a mess behind the hotel. The bathroom is nice, and everything is clean, but overall it’s what you’d call "polished poverty." The worst part was the breakfast – very limited selection, stale toast, the cheapest jam, old noodle pancakes, and one time an egg... And the "best" part? In a more expensive hotel here in Sri Lanka, they serve you chemical juice made from powder. Overall, this was the worst accommodation we experienced in Sri Lanka, and ironically, it was the most expensive. Sorry, but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Even in the cheapest guesthouses in Sri Lanka, we felt welcomed and cared for — here, it’s just business.
clean, location

PolandWe had a fantastic 5night stay at Caritas hotel in Trincomalee! The price was very reasonable considering the nice spacious room, big comfortable bed, sea view from our balcony and free breakfast! The location is amazing, right opposite the beach and super close to everything. Downstairs you can also have good lunch and even do your shopping in the Caritas shop. Overall wonderful and we really recommend! Thanks to the friendly and helpful staff:)))

Sri LankaI am sorry to mention this while i am also a hotelier I recently(October2024) visited your location and wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience. While I appreciated the convenient location and overall ambiance, I was deeply disappointed by the cleanliness and service I received. Unfortunately, I found a dead fly in my breakfast, which raised serious concerns about food safety. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, they showed little to no concern and did not offer an apology. Despite the incident, all meals were still charged on our bill. When I inquired further about food safety, the staff member I spoke to was rude, treating me as though I was being unreasonable. Their attitude made me feel as though I was intruding or questioning them unfairly, which was disheartening as a paying customer. I hope you will take this feedback seriously, as cleanliness and customer service are essential for a positive dining experience. I look forward to hearing how you plan to address these issues to prevent similar situations in the future. Thank you for your time.
Location was excellent as well the view
