Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IndiaThe accommodation/rooms are on 2nd and 3rd floor of the property with easy staircase. For elderly people a lift/elevator would have been helpful.
Staff was very sensitive and friendly. Breakfast was fabulous and rooms were clean and comfortable. We will recommend this place for safe, clean and enjoyable stay.

BelarusI did not expect that due to the humidity it would be quite complicated for me to acclimatizate and have long walks as I am used to in Belarus, so please keep in mind that it takes 1 km to the nearest beach. You can take tuk tuk (local transport) to get quick And also cosider UF sun index is almost all time extreem, I used 60 spf creem

United States of AmericaIt was great, no complaints
Such a lovely stay! The family who runs Maple Place are so kind and thoughtful, lots of attention to detail. They allowed us to leave our bags early and even provided a cold drink while we waited for the room to be ready. The room was clean, exactly as pictured, always had hot water, and ac/fan worked excellently. Location on the main road was a short walk or tuk tuk ride to the beach or town. The breakfast was so delicious and had variety for our 3 night stay. Highly recommend we would definitely stay here again!

You can here the road clearly from the balcony, so dont exact a comfi relaxing vibe up there, inside the rooms it was Oke tho. Deff good for the price you pay.

Russiathe room is very light and there are no shadow curtains, so you will wake up with the sunrise. The glass wall is made of single glass, because of this, road noise is very clearly audible.
The staff at the hotel was very kind and attentive and the breakfasts are truly royal. Location is very good, around 15 min from the beach, you can use PickMe to ride form this point.

RussiaWe really liked this hotel. We lived in a room that faces the road. The noise from the road was audible, but it didn't bother us. The breakfasts are very large and delicious, lots of different fruits and omelet. You can choose the time for breakfast. The room has a small kitchen with a gas or electric stove, kitchen items are available on request. There is a small refrigerator. Each room has a fan and air conditioning. There is a table that is suitable for working at a computer. Wi-Fi in the room on the second floor was not very stable, on the third floor the signal was better. There wasn't always hot water in the shower. Convenient location of the hotel within walking distance from the beach. There are two shops nearby, one of which is located on the ground floor of the hotel. The hotel is very clean, the staff constantly keeps it clean, they sweep the balcony every day. Room cleaning was always carried out promptly upon request. Thanks to Ishu for always being in touch. Thanks to Dnusha for keeping our rooms clean. Thank you very much to all the hotel staff for your hospitality

RussiaThe staff is not always at their reception, but it’s not usually a problem, because you can text manager via WhatsApp. Also the room doors are of glass. It’s covered with curtains for your privacy, but one might be bothered if someone could see through the small uncovered areas.
The staff was so nice and polite, it really made our stay there. They quickly reacted to all our requests. And they even let us stay a few hours longer for free until our transfer to airport arrives! They showed really great hospitality. The rooms are big and clean. A/C, fan and fridge work well. We also liked the breakfasts so much, they were amazing. We had so many exotic fruits, almost all found in Sri Lanka. We also used laundry services twice for a very pleasant price. The hotel is quite close to the beaches - a few of them in 5 mins by Tuktuk.

IndiaI liked my stay fully at Maple Place and definitely will go back. That being said, I wanted to suggest some improvements - 1. Quality of breakfast fell after the first few days - maybe a staff shortage but last two days even the omelette for breakfast for my wife was undercooked and bread were untoasted and soft. Fruits were also not as fresh as the first few days when we had just arrived. 2. Timing of breakfast - We never got breakfast at the time it was requested - sometimes had to wait an hour despite ordering previous day and also informing the timing. This impacts those who want to hit the beach early before the scorching sun. This definitely can be improved - better planning is needed in this. 3. Cleaning - Rooms were clean and cleaning in the corridor was done daily. But obviously, as we stayed, we brought in sand from the beach and though on request cleaning was done - no one came on a daily basis for cleaning the rooms. Even a quick sweep while doing corridors would be helpful.
1. The people - the owner Mr. Dinesh, Tharindu who was managing Maple Place Bookings and the staff who worked there were always helpful and smiling. No request was ignored and they went above and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. 2. Location - Maple Place is right on a supermarket and there is also another supermarket close by. Pharmacy is next door as well. Restaurants - atleast the good ones are a bit far out. 3. Amenities - Almost everything from towels, hairdryers and soaps to extra blankets were provided on request. Laundry is cheap - SKR 300 for 1 kg and every essential is close by

RussiaLocation is either pro and con of this property. Property is located by the road, so you can easily access it by car. But cars, buses and trucks drive by 24/7. The room had zero noise cancelling. Staff didn’t provide Wi-Fi password at check-in, I had to ask for it later. Staff also didn’t provide any information about breakfast at check-in, but they did everything for us to get in the morning, called by phone and even brought it to the room, that was nice. And least, but not last. I wouldn’t even write this essay, if the room was as listed on Booking.com. But it was completely different from pictures! That’s unfair, guys. Also, Wi-Fi signal was too weak to work with laptop.
Price. Breakfast. Staff was in touch.

GermanySadly, the accomodation doesn't look like the pictures and the information on the website isn't correct either. It's quite far away from the actual tourist area and you have to walk along a very busy street without a pedestrian path to get there. The view from the balcony isn't the mountains but a construction site and there is a huge fish in a small and very dirty aquarium in the lobby. We cancelled our 5 night stay and left the next day.
The breakfast is really nice, with fresh fruit, eggs, baked good,... The bathroom is pretty nice as well.
