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...).

United KingdomNot a complaint - this is a simple family hotel, at incredible prices, don’t expect the facilities of a huge chain hotel, instead enjoy the luxury of perfect, charming hospitality on a personal level.
The most relaxing experience, this little gem is perfect, the gardens are immaculate and the views couldn’t be better. The infinity pool is spotless and a wonderful spot to watch the river life pass. The family who work incredibly hard to make sure your stay is perfect, go beyond any expectations of hospitality. We had fresh fruit and juices provided every morning along with a choice of Sri Lankan breakfast or a variety of eggs./ toast etc. Value for money this place way exceeded our expectations . The rooms are simply furnished with en-suite, air conditioning and a little fridge. They are serviced daily by the housekeeper or the family. We will never again book into a big hotel for the facilities having experienced such a perfect experience in a small family home , Absolutely amazing can’t wait to return

United KingdomVery relaxing and comfortable. The local couple running the accommodation were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. It is a quiet area and I slept well at night. Just a short walk to the town and the beach but far enough away from the train line and traffic to enjoy peace and quiet.

PortugalOur stay was phenomenal! Starting with the very spacious room, impeccably clean and comfortable, perfect for accommodating a family of four. The owners are very kind and attentive people, always ready to guide us with the activities we wanted to do. The accommodation is located by the river and has a beautiful garden with a pool, providing a sense of well-being and tranquility. Also worth mentioning are the wonderful breakfasts and the dinner they prepared for us with fresh products, which was absolutely delicious! We recommend it 100%!

IndiaEverything fine. Nothing that I didn't like.
This property is adjacent to Bentota river and gave a good view of the river from the dining area and the balcony of our room. The hosts were very kind and offered their suggestions on how we should be spending our time with 1.5 days that we had with us. What makes a property great is not just the location, the cleanliness, the price, etc. but also how the hosts/staff treat you. The hosts really embodied what we really saw of Sri Lankan tourism - they welcome you with all the warmth and love and take good care of you.

United KingdomThis is a beautiful guesthouse! it is wonderfully peaceful, with lush green gardens overlooking the River. Our room was very large, cool, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was very modern with a great shower. The beds were large and very comfortable and luxurious. There was a very effective fan and aircon and facilities for making tea. The WiFi was excellent. We had a private terrace overlooking the river which was idyllic. It was where we ate a truly delicious sri lankan breakfast. Our hosts were extremely warm and welcoming and helped us to arrange a riverboat tour on the afternoon we arrived, which was also brilliant. An added bonus was some of the fastest wifi we've accessed in Sri Lanka... We loved our stay here!
