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):
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.
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.).

Gomez Place is a great place to unwind. Rooms are very spacious with outdoor seating areas to take in the views of the extensive gardens. The staff are very warm and friendly and nothing is a trouble for them. Gomez himself is the friendliest owner we have come across in our travels. The pool and pool area is more than enough to cool down and lie out in the sun. You get all of this at a very reasonable room rate. We will definitely be back some day.

LuxembourgI don't think the hotel could have been better. It's a pity that several of the streets in the area get flooded at certain points. They require massive works which the government cannot afford. This didn't impede access to the hotel itself, however.
The breakfast was freshly prepared each day, the staff were very helpful & Mr Gomez went the extra mile, organising transport & giving advice. The pool, tho'smallish, was always clean with fresh towels, and the garden was original and a real treat!

Helped with information and booking the various trips we went on as well as the taxi back to the airport. 10/10

GermanyNothing to complain about the hotel.
This hotel was so so so beautiful. We had a very clean and big room with a beautiful bathroom. The interior looked so nice and the decoration outside was also so nice. It was only 20 minutes from the airport by car. The workers were so helpful and kind. The hotel had a nice pool where I could take a swim from time to time. We loved to spent time and relax in the hotel. Gomez is a very nice host! I would definitely recommend this place especially when you arrive to Sri Lanka! This is a perfect start for the holidays.

AustraliaNothing, it was all excellent.
Gomez’s Place is ‘child free’, open-minded, welcoming accommodation located in the northern part of Negombo. After some initial hiccups (poor wifi and cold water) that were quickly resolved by our hosts, the accommodation offered all that was expected in the relative sanctuary from the touristic traps that are the Negombo environs. The rooms are generously sized and very well apportioned (and clean!!!), especially when compared other similarly priced accommodation in Sri Lanka. The rooms also had both aircon and a ceiling fan, which seemed a rare thing in this country. The breakfast was ample and tasty (toast, fruit, coffee, tea, and eggs cooked as you like them), and the pool – while not the biggest – was an absolute godsend. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially our host Gomez who helped us with all our requests and enquiries, including arranging airport transfers. Thanks Gomez, you’re a star!

United StatesGomez Place is an absolute gem. I had a lovely room that opened onto a lush garden. The grounds here are beautiful and very well maintained. There are also rooms here that face the pool as well as many with terraces. I loved the bathroom in my room. It was part indoor and part outdoor, yet still maintained a sense of complete privacy. I slept well here. Comfortable rooms, good a/c and a quiet that brought serenity. Mr. Gomez is a wonderful host who goes over-the-top to meet all your needs. And the staff, especially Mr. Tharusha, are friendly, pleasant, and ready to assist. Also, my early arrival was graciously accommodated. I am looking forward to my next visit. Highly Recommended!
