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...).

Very conveniently located for the airport, comfortable, clean room either everything you would need for the night, lovely staff. The lady on the desk welcomed us with juice, recommended restaurants, organised us a tuktuk to the airport at 5:30am and packed us some breakfast!

NetherlandsA very nice and quiet hotel on a small dirt road off the main road. I was surprised to find such a quiet place so close to the airport. The owner is very kind and helpful. It’s a good budget option to stay if you do not want the longer drive from Colombo. Shops are 20-25 min. walking distance.

GermanyThe bed was a bit short for me (1,98m) so my feet tangled off the end. The bathroom is getting a bit old.
Good transit hotel to take a shower or a quick nap in between or before flights. There is a one-way shuttle service included in the room rate which is nice. The facilities are pretty basic but absolutely okay for the price. There is a lockable cabinet so you can leave your valuables while you go out to grab something to eat.

AustriaThe room furnishings are very old/shabby, especially the carpets. There's only one electrical outlet (the second is behind the bed, not reachable). The air conditioning is very old and very loud. The host promised to call us a taxi to the airport and to see us off in the morning. However, at 1:30 a.m., we found ourselves alone in the lobby without a taxi, waiting until we made our own way to the airport. Unfortunately, this was disappointing service for a hotel so close to the airport (didn't got any apology). We were also slightly overcharged with the price, payed more than the price on the booking-site. For this costs, we had many much better accommodations in Sri Lanka (actually all of them).
Close to the airport, about a 7-minute taxi ride away. Relatively quiet.

AustraliaTried to overcharge me. The carpet’s threadbare and stained. TV didn’t work ( no money back) Locks were hanging off doors A/c stuck on 24 Water spraying out of taps when showering. I don’t think one cent has been spent on this hotel in maintenance since it was built. I am stunned that people were able to give this place a high score!
Surprisingly it was quiet. Close to airport Did give me a breakfast package to take to airport.

GermanyThe Hotel offers a free shuttle to the airport, agreed to pick us up in the evening - but did not. Obviously the Hotel is a bit down and out, we were the only guests. No elevators, when we arrived in our room on 3rd floor we were welcomed by an incredible smell of insect repellent. Hard to breathe. The whole room, including bathroom, did not show the standard you should expect, even for a Hotel in the lower middle class.
It is 10 minute drive from Colombo Airport. So it is convenient for late arrivals or early departures, because Colombo city is a 45 minute drive away, minimum. Surprise in the morning: an excellent breakfast.

United KingdomEverything was perfect. I was worried about arriving late at the airport, but the transport service couldn’t have been smoother and more efficient. Once I arrived, I felt at home instantly. The hosts were kind, warm and incredibly welcoming. The room is very comfortable, and I had a great sleep. Breakfast was home made, and delicious. I couldn’t recommend a better stay close to the airport. I hope to come back soon. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. God bless 🙏😊

United KingdomWe were greeted with a refreshing pineapple juice then shown to our room. The room was comfortable with everything we needed for an overnight stay and we slept well. The restaurant wasn't open, maybe as it's end of season, but the friendly owner kindly offered to cook our dinner for us, rather than order in. She actually prepared us a banquet of different vegetarian curries and rice, which were delicious. Breakfast the next morning was equally as filling and tasty. The hotel is in a peaceful neighbourhood and just a short tuk tuk ride to the airport. Thank you so much for making our last night in SL so special.

GermanyThese owners of the hotel are one of the kindest that I’ve ever met. They care so much, making you feel like home and can tell you interesting stories. The hotel has a great location…super close to the airport, but very quiet to sleep. Cozy rooms and a nice mattress. The breakfast is super delicious and also a lot, so you are definitely prepared for your flight 😁
