How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewA short stay here for a flight the next day. We had a confused check in but it was 1am. Nice enough room and good size pool area. Breakfast buffet looked ok
The place felt a little tired but perfect for a stop over

Verified reviewWe stayed only one night, but could have stayed longer. We were upgraded to a villa and the room was immaculate, expansive, and newly renovated. There were fresh flowers, a fruit plate, new pillows, robes, and a mini fridge.
Nothing- The property was gorgeous! 12 acres of pristine grounds with a restaurant looking out to the pool and surrounding grounds. It’s a must stay if you are near the airport or want the convenience of town with the quiet and natural beauty of Sri Lanka.

Rooms have separate bedrooms a living area and bathroom but only the bedroom was air conditioned. Felt like a sauna! Felt soulless and empty and the restaurant food was poor.

Verified reviewLove the location of this hotel -- on spacious, green grounds (a couple of horses sometimes are brought to feed on the grass), and coconut trees, as well as other mature trees like tamarind and jackfruit. The rooms are huge and simply furnished, all is there. Surprised that such a quiet, country-side type hotel is only 10mins. from the airport! Really special. The large swimming pool is also very enticing.
The breakfast and dinner buffet did not have many Sri Lankan offerings which we really missed. Would be lovely to have string hoppers, milk rice, curries for breakfast, and perhaps hoppers, roti, and curries as part of the buffet offerings for those of us who love SL food and spice! (There is a small offering, but I wish it could be expanded a bit.)

Verified reviewThis is such a beautiful, quiet hotel on beautiful sprawling grounds. We stay there as an airport hotel because it is only 10mins from the airport, but this is nothing like a typical airport hotel. It is much more personal, and really makes you feel like you are in Sri Lanka. The staff are delightful, warm and friendly, and so helpful!
The breakfast buffet could be bolstered with more Sri Lankan choices for example hoppers, milk rice and kolkanda.

Verified reviewA lovely quiet location close to the airport . With fresh air . Better than the local airport hotels and I noticed airline staff were staying there too . Staff were so lovely . Breakfast was buffet and good . Pool was huge and a lovely relief after the long flight . If you have to stay over in Colombo I’d recommend this . It’s not in centre so safe too . They have ponies eating the grass which is a lovely touch too . Well done and thank you
The coffee could be better . It’s always difficult for get good cafe latte etc in Asia ..
