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...).

The Pavilions was like an oasis of peace and tranquility in Negombo. The treatments were fantastic and my friend and I both left feeling refreshed and rested for the rest of our trip. The hotel is located near to a sister hotel and lots of other restaurants and shops. The food was inspired, the passion and creativity put into a primarily vegetarian/vegan menu was incredible. I am not a vegetarian but I wished that my friends who are could try the food here. If you are on a meal plan then your menu will be determined in part by your Ayurvedic type, this wouldn’t have been right for me so I was on a B&B only plan and I did eat out several times. My only suggestion would be to offer more variety on the menu. There were some amazing curries (loved the bitter gourd and the banana flower) and I might have eaten more at the hotel if there had been an option to choose from a sort of ‘tapas menu’ similar to the traditional Sri Lankan curry but with the ability to choose 2 or 3 from a selection and then to choose, rice or bread or poppadum as accompaniment. The team who run the Pavilions were lovely throughout, there was a real sense of pride and community which made it feel a very special place to stay.

AustraliaThe location outside the hotel is quite touristy, and has loud club music - but within the hotel grounds it’s calm and peaceful.
First and foremost, the staff are exceptional - I arrived super late and was picked up at the airport (additional charge) and the driver was professional. Kalaka (may have spelled wrong) checked me in and made sure I understood the system for the Ayurveda appointments. The room was lovely and the surroundings relaxed. The pool is clean and a good size. All the staff smile and say hello - such a great feature of the Jetwing experience! Ayurveda treatments are just amazing!

NetherlandsYoga only one session at 6:30 in the morning!!! We missed all the classes Negombo is not very interesting so maybe not the right place if you are not looking for Ayurveda treatments.
A very nice, calm place to have Ayurveda treatments. The massage was one of the best we’ve ever had by very sweet professionals. Nice swimming pool and possibility to use the facilities of the sister Jetwing hotels à few meters away on the beach that we advise to do.

United KingdomThe massage therapists did not all have the same techniques which made me feel that they were not trained together. I was ok with vegan food. However, the diet was low in protein and did not have a variety of vegetables. Having said that the kitchen staff tried very hard to respond to our requests. The bedrooms had alot of mosquitos and more should be done to minimise this.
I thought the staff were excellent and very helpful. The room was comfortable and cleaned everyday.

MalaysiaThe food as part of the full treatment & board was very well presented but lacked protein & nutrition. It was very carbo & starch based which was not to my liking. I would have preferred a more well balanced diet with less starch.
The staff were excellent and always tried their best to meet our needs. Treatments were good too. The property is well maintained and has a tranquil feel to it. Room sizing is good with comfortable beds. Definitely worth a visit again.

DenmarkWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at Jetwing. Peaceful, healthy, relaxing. Everybody is very professional and dedicated, making sure we got the best service. At the restaurant they are attentional, it is a talented group of young waiters. The reception as well, very helpful and accommodating. Housekeeping taking care of anything from room, laundry, water supplies etc. The rooms are nice and simple, it works! Everybody can follow the morning yoga, the yogis approach and his technicality is incomparable, second to none. Treatments and massage very very good and helpful. So nice to be able to use facilities on other Jetwing Hotels, eg. gym and 50m pool at Jetwing Blue. It was peace of mind!

NetherlandsThere was many mosquitoes (normal in this region), but we would recommend the staff to be more cautious while cleaning the rooms.
Fantastic ayurveda experience! This was our first ayurveda treatment, we did the 3 day program and the program had really positive impact on us. Extremely nice hotel with great service. The food is outstanding with every day three meals consisting of 3 courses each. Every morning there is relaxing yoga to start the day well. The daily treatments are amazing and vary depending on your body type. Outside of the program there is room to relax at the pool or explore the city of Negombo. Special thanks to Hishan & Saman for the remarkable service and treatments. We hope to be back!

GermanyThe housekeeping could further improve their service by closing the door every time they come in the room, because there were a lot of mosquitos around and in the room every day. The cleanliness of the floor could be a little better. Sometimes, when I needed something for the room, it took up to more than half an hour until it was brought to me, it would be nice, if this would be a little faster.
I had a wonderful stay, all of the staff have been so friendly and helpful all the time. The hotel has a beautiful garden and the pool is also very nice. The food was delicious and the cook even took some time to show us the garden and explain a lot about the plants, trees and herbs that are growing there. The treatments with Ruwan have been great and the consultations with Dr. Anuradha have been very helpful and interesting. We also had wonderful yoga sessions every morning and the aqua exercise in the afternoon was also fun. The housekeeping did a great job every day and they decorated the room with beautiful flowers and cute towel animals. The team at the reception has always been very helpful and the laundry service was also very good.
