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...).

AustraliaOur host Jagath and his lovely wife were so gracious with their time and kindness. Attended to all our needs including a 2AM pickup from the airport. In the morning they served us an incredible breakfast spread that included traditional local favourites, which my daughter and I enjoyed very much. If your flight arrives late at night, this is a great place to stay until you have time to plan the next day/arrange proper transport etc.

When I arrived his wife en daughter were there, and they made a yummy breakfast for me, so kind! If you are here you should really try the Sri Lanka dinner, de dahl that I got was one of the best I have every tried! Jagath also helpt me to change money and go to the store etc. Had a good time here!!

SlovakiaThis guy with his family IS really nice! He picked up us on the airport, prepared delicious sri lankan dinner and organised a lot of things like safari tour and driven us to another planned place on our Journey. We couldnt imagine better first contact with sri lankan people. We hope to see each other next time. Thank you for everything and being yourself. Your slovakian "spirit"tourists. :)

Jagath and his family are so sweet and I had the most wonderful stay with them. Despite my very early flight (4:45 am), I got free pick up from the airport. Everything was very good - comfortable bed, AC, hot water and yummy breakfast! Jagath was extremely helpful and from the first moment I did the booking, he got in contact with me, recommending things I should do when I arrive, answering all my questions, arranging my next transport and checking if I am allright, also after I left. I will stay one more night before I leave Sri Lanka. Don't hesitate to book this place!

GermanyReally special accommodation. Jagath already gave us great tips before arrival, picked us up at the airport. Everything went so smooth. His English is perfect and it was great to enjoy some conversations with him and learn about the culture. Also the food was the best we had so far on our Sri Lanka trip. We also had dinner at his place and I am still dreaming about it! Highly recommended

United KingdomJagath and his wonderful family welcomed us with the hospitality and kindness you can only dream of. Before our trip Jagath went above and beyond to help us with planning, even buying our train tickets for us. His rooms are equally hospitable. A huge bed and good shower await you, and the breakfast , cooked by the whole family, is delicious and huge. You won't need to eat again until evening! Overall I cannot recommend staying here highly enough. Thanks Jagath and family!

NetherlandsWe arrived in Negombo from a late night flight, arriving at 2 at night, but his was no problem for Jagath! He gave us tips on how to pass customs and get a sim card, picked us up from the airport and drove us to his home stay. We easily got in contact using WhatsApp. The room itself was spacey, and very (!) clean. Airconditioning working properly. Day after we had breakfast and met his family. Breakfast was great! Jagath is a great and friendly host. We got to spend a bit more time with him as he was driving us to Hikkaduwa, and he told us all about Sri Lanka and gave us more tips. This is hands down the best place to stay after or before a flight! Jagath really goes the extra mile to support his guests. He made the inconvenience of the weird flight hours much more convenient and relaxt! We will probably stay here on our flight out again

SlovakiaI strongly recommend this acomodation. The best host we experienced in our 2 week stay on SriLanka. Room was nice and clean, with small fridge and AC. They even cooked us awesome local dinner, and prepared us breakfast to go. His english is fluent, and after dinner we were just chatting about local situation. Communication was done via watsap and host was super responsive. He is also providing airport shuttle. One of our best experiences on SriLanka.
