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.).

LatviaIn Sri Lanka one must go with the flow. The Hotel should keep up its positive and very good service on this level and work hard in order to maintain it.
We came for wedding and we felt very good in the hotel - everything was perfect: room, bathroom clean, TV and wifi working, breakfast, lunch, dinner, the restaurant, the bar and cocktails - superb. The pool - excellent. Close to the ocean to try - how is it to swim there. Helpful staff, great opportunity to have perfect massage treatment. Close to Colombo, helpful guy Banda (not from the hotel) took us for private shopping treat- have a good health, Banda! Wedding management did run well - on the beach we experienced marvellous Sri Lankan traditional wedding with 100+ guests. Everything was great and we're coming back - great value for money. It was a real Paradise!

United StatesThe hotel could do more to make the beach more inviting and useful and perhaps might add to the appeal. A boardwalk from the outdoor area to the beach would be awesome. There were minor slips that are not worth mentioning given the overall service. However there are some hotels in Colombo that are comparable and less pricey.
The location worked perfectly for me, allowing for easy family visits while maintaining my own place to stay. The food was great, at both the buffet and the Fishery restaurant. It is a nice quiet place for family as well as those looking for a quiet getaway and to work remotely.

Sri LankaFront counter cashier male fair man with pimple marks in the face, age between 38 to 45. Date 4th January time 13:30, the man's behaviour is rude kept us waiting. It was the day of my 1year old baby. Cashier took a phone call right before me without doing my 30 second transaction, at my face he raise his finger to wait 1 min with the face of a alien, I said okay but he to 5min kept us waiting calling here and there, my baby was asking milk and we want to change his nappy, it our baby's first birthday the very reason we went there just to celebrate I would have extended my stay but that brakes our hearts not the whole week here no no. When the first impression is bad everything else is. But food was delicious thanks to chefs. I recommend the person by the door in white uniform an old person to that cashiers position. Arrogant people makes things worse, even the lady by the next seat in the counter with specs on also complained the guy take care of the customer quickly but guy didn't even care for minutes. You really need wisdom Pegasus HR and management team, right people at right spots. Customers are considered God who brings money in some Asian countries and they does treat them like one... Other Hospitality team by the counter are very nice they are good, few are excellent. So, I will be back as usual. Don't let that happen again.
Food is good, tasty it touches the umami flavour. So Umaiii ❤️

IndiaThe access to the location is through poor roads. The hotel does not have an elevator, so it's very difficult for people with mobility issues. Breakfast options are very limited and not good quality. There is no room or restaurant service late at night. The minibar is empty.
The hotel has its own (very beautiful) beach. The property is extremely clean, and many rooms open out onto the garden. The staff are (like in all of Sri Lanka) extremely nice. The room was big, clean and comfortable.

United KingdomArrived about 11.30 at night having flown from India. We had not eaten. . We appreciated that restaurant etc would be closed but we did have some cereal with us. Requested some milk so we could have at least something to eat. Informed room service finished at 10pm. There were 4 people in reception. I felt that someone could have just fetched some milk under the circumstances.
This is a very nice hotel near the sea with lovely garden views leading onto the beach. The rooms were reasonable size with everything you need. The showers were good. Breakfasts are mainly geared to the local tastes. This is only to be expected and applies to all Asian Hotels. There are some European options which the Floor Manager Ms Priynoh was most helpful with. Cereals ,Eggs to order, bacon ,tomatoes, and delicious fresh waffles. She could even organise a pot of good English tea. Although they had a good dinner selection we were drawn to THE FISHERY –Watlala restaurant in the garden area. Nice live saxophone music, beers and delicious food. Complements to the Chefs and staff, Manasha,Sampath,Asanka,Navodya,Ayesh ,Sampath,Shiva and Ashen, who prepared our lovely fresh food. The vegetarian options were excellent. We were also shown a selection of fresh fish that was then filleted and cooked it to perfection by the Fish Chef and his staff. If booking with booking.com I suggest you screen shot offer prior to booking. they use another company to book on there behalf and sometimes the details can vary. A very nice stay.

AustraliaWas last here some 30+ years ago and time has definitely taken a toll on the property overall. Somewhat neglected and maintenance appears to be minimal. Need to improve on appearance to be competitive with newer hotels in the district.
Stayed here 23/9 to 28/10 (almost 5 weeks, excluding 6 days away). Excellent work by staff in all departments but special mention must be made of Niji at Reception, Nishantha, Priyanka and Suranjan at the Restaurant / F&B for courteous, efficient and very attentive service.
