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...).

LatviaThere were some insects, there are a lot of them on the island in general, but the owner brought us a special spray. The problem was solved.
Great location, quiet area, very close to the ocean. Clean room. The second floor was fully to our disposal. There was everything you need. Very nice and responsive hostess.

UkraineTo my opinion this place can be better and cleaner, especially the kitchen. It requires some new stuff like pots/pan, TV in the main room would be excellent decision.
If we are talking about the price/quality range - it’s a really cool place with a hot water, air conditioning, comfortable bed, very good location (3 minutes to the ocean, good restaurants, wine shop). It’s very safe here, owners are polite and friendly, you can leave your money and other things without any worries. Kitchen allows you to cook everything you need, fridge is big, even some type of multicooker presented. We were satisfied and paid 300$ for a month, which is veeery reasonable price. Good place to leave your things out and travel around the country)

New ZealandLovely area to start our Sri Lankan trip. Shanika, her husband and lovely neighbour's gave us lots of helpful advice and tips. They offer an airport pickup too. The lane is quiet and gives you an insight into real Sri Lankan life.

AustraliaThat I didn’t find it earlier
The apartment was better than nearly all I stayed at in Sri Lanka for half the price. Very spacious and comfortable. Shanika is an amazing host and the family were lovely. The location is perfect in central Negombo a stones throw from the ocean. Also they have a beautiful dog named Huskie ❤️

AustraliaApartment is above the main house with very steep stairs and no handholds. Not ideal for anyone in the “seniors” category ie. Me! Booked for 2 nights with midnight flight on 2nd day. 1st night - Sunday night was a nightmare with huge explosions from fireworks at midnight and party music with both sounding like they were coming from a property very nearby. Not the fault of the hosts but .. Some outdoor seating provided on the balcony would be a huge plus.
Location was very nearby the beach. Very comfortable bed. Own kitchen for cooking a bonus. Hosts were wonderful and provided a free pickup late at night from the local railway station and a drop service to the airport for a modest fee.

the family was so kind. they picked us up from the airport and met their 3 girls sethumi, sajel and sejin who my daughter got along with very well, the location was just opposite the beach however its nit the best for swimming as the waves were quite strong. Shanika the owner made us an amazing fish curry. the bed was very big and fit the three of us and there was great air con.we felt really safe and welcomed thanks to the family
