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...).

Sri LankaIt would be a nice addition if they have hot water facility. And also the mosquito nets inside the room are too small compared to the bed.
Food was tasty and also staff is very friendly.

Sri LankaI wish they had done proper cleaning before handing over to the customer. Overall, it’s okay, but there’s room for improvement, especially in terms of cleanliness. They should also consider installing new doors for the rooms. If they can improve these small areas, it would be a really good value for a budget friendly hotel.
The staff is really friendly, and the location is close to the Kataragama Devalaya. The rooms are okay (I stayed in the Superior Family Room), but I wish they could improve the bathroom quality.

Sri LankaThe door was broken, so we had to move to another room, which was smaller and had fewer facilities than the first one. The signal inside the room was poor. There was no water in the morning, so we were a little late because we had to wait for it.
The food was excellent, and the portions were larger than we expected. The staff were very helpful and kind at all times. The rooms were close to each other, just as we requested, and they were spotless.

Sri LankaThe phone number listed on your website and on Google did not work, which made it very difficult to contact the hotel management for important pre check-in details. This caused a great deal of inconvenience and stress before my arrival. I would appreciate it if you could ensure that accurate and working contact information is provided going forward. The door lock was not functioning properly, which may pose a safety risk. I kindly request that this issue be addressed as soon as possible to ensure the security of guests.
The location and food were good, and the room amenities were satisfactory. However, there is still room for improvement in overall service and maintenance to enhance the guest experience.

Sri LankaThe main Door lock of room I Stayed 101 was not working properly even though it's not a major concern it's a bit risky.
I had a fantastic two-night stay at Hotel Senora in Katharagama. The experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was exceptional, offering a delightful variety of dishes that were both delicious and well-prepared. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay. The rooms were affordable, yet didn’t compromise on comfort. They were not only spacious but also impeccably clean, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it clear that guest satisfaction is a top priority here. For the price, the stay was undoubtedly great value for money, offering excellent amenities and service. I would highly recommend Hotel Sanora to anyone visiting Katharagama. It's the perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and affordability. Thank you to the team for making my stay so enjoyable—I’ll definitely be back!

Large clean hotel rooms. Spacious bathroom. Hot water is running smoothly. A/C is new and working nicely. A ceiling fan is also available. Very comfortable bed (spring mattresses) and pillows. Convenient and quiet location - walking distance to Katharagama devalaya. 8 minutes drive to Kiriwehera temple. The hotel staff arranged a Yala safari tour for us within a short notice.
