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...).

ItalyThis boutique hotel is very nice and well-maintained. The staff is very helpful- they arranged a relaxing massage and also the transfer to the airport super easily. It’s definitely the place to stay in Negombo

NetherlandsThere were just a few tiny things, but didnt impact the experience. We thought the beds were to hard. The wicker blinders on the outside could do with replacement and at some places it could do with a lick of new paint. Nothing major and definitely didnt impact any of the relaxation and joy staying there
We have stayed in 8 hotels during our trip, the dickman was the best one, with staff it had 2 compete with 2 other really great ones, but they won. The guys who work there are absolutely amazing, treated us like a King and queen and we had a lot of fun with them. The first night my matrass wasnt good, they told me the next morning i should have come to them straight away as they would have solved it, even in the middle of the night. The hotel was the best spot i could have picked for the last few days, it's a little colorful paradise, it was very very clean and with eye for detail. I love the vibrant colors, we got a deluxe room with pool entrance. The pool was nice and clean, the rooms spaceous and well decorated. Breakfast was really good with enough options. The cocktails were lovely. Definitely would go here again. Massive thanks for the wonderful staff

The staff at the Dickman Resort were fabulous, friendly, helpful and kind. They gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat and also helped arrange a massage at a nearby facility that was amazing. We stayed in the Mango Suite (yellow) which was very well appointed. The bed was huge and comfortable. The pool was clean, deep and refreshing. The pet turtles that roam the grounds were cute. Breakfast was very good, fruit, eggs and toast. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying there.

SwitzerlandThe furnishing of the individual rooms was simply fantastic. The feeling for the colors and the small details is like art. The staff, like the owner, are lovely and super friendly and accommodating. Everything is prepared with a lot of love and the included breakfast is the best I have ever had, sumptuous, fresh and again the small details like the butter and the jam on the table or how the fruit is cut. You simply have to see this hotel
