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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomThere is building work going on and this did disturb us but Mr Gomez took action and got the builders doing quieter tasks until we went out. It might be worth asking for a room in the main house for the next few weeks. However the rooms affected by building noise are otherwise very nice, very large and the most modern so it’s a trade off. I think it will be a fairly temporary issue.
We stayed here twice at the beginning and ens of our trip to Sri Lanka. The first room offered was not good but a quick objection and a much better room was found for us as we had booked the better quality rooms. The beds are large and comfortable and the showers worked well with good pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was very good, not enormous but very adequate, fruit, omelette, good coffee and toast. There is a very nice, though small pool which was always quiet when we used it. The garden here is absolutely beautiful and is obviously very cared for.

ThailandGood place where you can feel completely relaxed. A pleasant pool with cool water is ideal for refreshing in the hot hours. The staff is very helpful and you can contact them with any question like a friend. The room was large, cool, had a safe, AC, refrigerator, hot water. The beach is close, as well as shops, souvenir shops and various restaurants. The choice is wide, from Asian cuisine to Italian. There is also KFC nearby, easily accessible by tuk tuk. In general, Negombo is a good place, the ocean is not very clean but there are a lot of activities.

United StatesNot really anything. The stay was amazing!
Phenomenal stay at Gomez Place! The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are very spacious (including a very large bathroom), clean and comfortable. Plenty of hot water. The breakfast was excellent each morning. Location is just a short walk from the beach and the main road that is filled with nice restaurants, bars, and stores. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. But the best thing about this place is Gomez himself. He is such a great guy and will do anything to make sure your stay is perfect. If you need anything, he will make sure you get it. The hospitality is wonderful. You will feel right at home. Can't wait to stay here again!

NetherlandsGomez place is clean and comfortable. Its a good place to stay with like minded other travelers, in a country which is not always open minded towards our community. Gomez himself is very welcoming, and cares about his guests. Breakfast is top notch, the pool is deep enough to jump in, and the location is excellent. I got a TukTuk to the airport from there by one of the staff which was very affordable. A perfect place to begin or end your Sri Lanka holiday.

This is a very unique hotel. The room were super comfortable, the breakfast was amazing and super filling, and Gomez is a great host. He makes you feel like guest at his house, rather than a guest at a hotel. There is a nice swimming pool, beautiful garden, and great place to meet fellow travellers if you wish, or be left alone if you dont feel like talking. Gomez is a great host and he will ensure you get everything you need during your stay, no judging on his side!

NetherlandsBeds were a bit hard for us. Bathroom smelled a bit funny, because it stays moist for quite a while after taking a shower. That seems a common problem in Sri Lanka though, as we've experienced this in multiple places.
The location is quite good as it's close to some good bars, restaurants and the beach. Nevertheless, it was very quiet. It's also only a 20/30 minute drive from Colombo airport, making it the perfect hub after and before your flight. The accommodation looks quite nice and well maintained. The swimming pool and the rest of the area is very nice and private, as it's out of sight of other buildings. The staff was also very friendly and provided us with everything we needed, like pool towels, drinks, etcetera.

SpainFantastic place, one of my favorite stays in all Sri Lanka. The room is huge, with a small kitchenette and a seating area with a big table. Big outdoor bathroom, just loved looking at the sky while taking a shower. Room with lots of space, which gives you a great sensation, own terrace with table and chairs in front of the room. Gomez Place has a rich vegetation, trees and plants, the place is very cozy and well looked after, great setup. Delicious breakfast and food, nice pool. Great and quiet location, located in a nice neighborhood side street. Only a couple of minutes walk to the main beach road with lots of shops, restaurants and the beach. Owner and staff are great and assist you with everything you need. Very happy with my stay, absolutely recommended.

Czech RepublicCocroaches (maybe it is normal in this city area..?), but we got a room changed (personally arranged by the boss) and then it was fine (the new room had an inside bathroom, the previous one had a semi-open roof bathroom, which was surely the reason… so worth spending a bit more for the better room, in case you are afraid of “the beasts” like me :))
Nicely designed hotel, lovely pool to relax, excelent and tasty breakfasts!!, good location - near to the beach, all bars and restaurants, but still far from the noise of the main street. Mr. Gomez, the boss, is very kind and helpful, he arranged everything what we wanted (spa massage, taxi to airport, printing of documents..). He really cares about the hotel and his guests, real hotel manager! Thank you
