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...).

QatarThis place is a Sri Lankan gem! Thank you very much to Bharatvir and his entire team for making us feel very welcome and special. Everyone was friendly, professional, and welcoming. Everything was outstanding...the peace and quiet, beautiful room (thank you for the upgrade!), location, cocktails (so good!), pool, service, and food. The bed in the room was extremely comfortable and the bed linens were top notch. The decor throughout the hotel is very thoughtful with many beautiful antiques and pieces of artwork. The overall vibe is perfect! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

AustraliaClass all the way! Bharatvir and his team (special mention to Randhikar and Nirmal) went above and beyond to make us comfortable and feel at home. The property itself is beautiful with an outlook to match. The food was exactly what we were hoping for, homely and delicious. The only drawback is we stayed here in the start of our Sri Lankan holiday and are afraid the benchmark has been set very high.

United KingdomThis hotel offers a wonderful personal experience, with a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude. When we arrived Swati the manager gave us her number and this was how any requests were dealt with, from room service to sundowner drinks on the terrace or booking the Spa. Service is definitely their strong point and all staff were great but in particular I would mention Arshad. A knowledgeable quiet man who delivers fantastic service. The breakfasts were made to order and delicious with plenty of options. Dinner was also made to order, certainly one of the best meals we had in our month in Sri Lanka. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely go back.

United KingdomThe setting is lovely on the lagoon but it is a little way out of town so you will need a Tuk Tuk to get on. The lagoon setting also means there are lots of mosquitos which limits outside time in the evening - however the staff are quick to provide repellent. The pool is really nice but there aren’t a lot of loungers so you can’t guarantee a sunbathing spot. However, there are plenty of other outside seating spots to enjoy
The hotel was a beautiful space, we loved the furnishings and the overall atmosphere. The staff were lovely; everyone was very friendly and super helpful. The food and drink options were really standout - we had breakfast every morning, dinner one night, and cocktails and loved it all.

VietnamThere is a garden, that looks a bit wild, not cleaned from the old leaves. Could look nicer
The hotel is in colonial style (not historical building but gives the atmosphere) in the quiet area. There is a mosque somewhere near, but their prayers are not that loud. The breakfast was freshly cooked and they prepared it not spicy like we asked.

GermanyYou‘re not advised to swim in the lagoon and the beach is quite far away. The pool was lovely though.
Once you enter the property all the noise vanishes, the heat dissipates under the cover of the lush vegetation and an almost dream like scenery of calm consideration takes over and you in.
