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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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):
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.
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.).

Sri LankaA few maintenance issues seem evident ; such as the elevator not working and the walls by the pool showing a lot of water damage which need to be looked after
I’ve been to this property before and what brought me back is the location and the pleasantness experienced before . I think the management has changed since and the property is showing few parts wear and tear especially in the common areas . But the staff remains lovely . We came in pretty late in the evening and the manager had informed the staff well and check in was a breeze .

Sri LankaThe pool was clean and it was really close to the ocean. The room was clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and the service was good. However, when I tried to contact the hotel to inform them that I was running late, there was no response from the staff. It would be rather inconvenient if there was an emergency and you wanted to get in touch with the hotel.

Good location close to airport and the hotel do a cheap taxi to the airport. Hotel is basic but definitely value for money at the price they charge. We arrived in the evening and had a really good meal at the hotel. Room is basic and there is nothing nearby but good place to rest before/after flying into Colombo.

United KingdomThe breakfast was ok - fresh fruit and either option of omelette or fried egg with toast. Some pastries were provided but they weren’t fresh. The room had a few mostiques & moths which was a little annoying.
It was good for 1 night stay as we arrived early hours in the morning. The family room was huge with plenty of space for 4 (with one being on the sofa bed with the mattress on the floor). The hotel is a bit dated but clean & quiet. The staff were very friendly. We seem to be the only guests and the manager was kind enough to let us checkout late. He also arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport. We didn't use the pool or any other facilities.

United Arab EmiratesNot much to complain about
The property is fairly close to the airport. You can used an Uber or ask for a transfer. It’s quite new and clean. The pool is also nice and big. The beach cannot be accessed but the view from the hotel is nice and pleasant. Food was good although slightly expensive for the country. Room is spacious with wifi and international channels. All in one, that’s a convenient place for a one stop before flying out or moving elsewhere.

AustraliaWe booked for two nights night as we had a 28hr layover at Colombo, the staff were up waiting for us to check in at 5am and were very friendly, we slept most of the day so missed breakfast and checked out early so missed the breakfast the next day so they insisted that our food dinner was complimentary. They also organised our car back to the airport at 4am the next day! Room was huge and clean and comfortable.

NetherlandsAn otherwise wonderful stay was off to a horrible start due to an obnoxious group of daytime visitors who were making a complete racket next to the pool: they were drunk and had karaoke on full blast. The hotel staff was not able to control them, and once we asked them to keep it down in the public area, we were subject to racist verbal abuse for more than an hour (in colourful native Sinhala). Not wanting to escalate it further (and probably get even worse treatment from the large group of drunk men), we endured it until they eventually left. Apparently there are regular daytime visitors to this location, and clearly the hotel management is unable to ensure that they do not ruin the peace and quiet the guests would expect from such a location. You are basically at the mercy of the visitors to keep things pleasant. We recommend checking with the hotel staff about the schedule before booking.
Elegantly designed premises with a nice, partially covered swimming pool. The hotel is right next to the beach (though not swimmable as there’s a large reef). Good facilities that are well-maintained and clean. Friendly, courteous staff.

United KingdomSome things in the room didn't feel as clean as we would expect from a 4-star hotel - towels, sheets, mugs etc. Although we knew that the beach wouldn't be suitable for swimming, there was a bit of an unpleasant smell coming up from the beach for some of the time we were there.
For us this was a place to chill out for our last night in Sri Lanka, as an alternative to busy Colombo. The room was comfortable, the pool was lovely with a nice view out to sea. The evening meal we had was delicious. The staff were very kind and helpful.
