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...).

Sri LankaThe rooms are just next to the beach. Beach is very clean and crystal clear water. Though the rooms are small in size, they were equipped with all the necessities., including mini bar and tea/coffee maker. Breakfast was super. Dinner was served a la carte and was very quick and fulfilled all our different food requests without any hesitation. The staff were very friendly, always ready to help with heartiest smiles on their faces.

RomaniaThe room was quite noisy, because it doesn't have insulation. There is a window on top of the door which makes impossible blackout in the night. The walls should be repainted because they have some stains.
Big and stylish room, bathroom has walk-in shower, which is quite rare for Sri Lanka. The hotel looks like a colonial old house, which gives a lot of charm. lt's located on the beach and close to all shops and restaurants. Room cleaned every day, free water provided daily.

SingaporeBreakfast was average. If you want traditional breakfast you must order in advance. Also, at night plays loud music which can be heard in the rooms. We were lucky that we didn't get the room that's directly facing the beach where the music was coming from.
Beachfront, pleasant and accommodating staff, very clean and nicely decorated rooms. They offer free access and transport to a nice pool in their exclusive sister hotel. Surrounded by many eating options and stores.

QatarThe pictures seem to have been taken a long time ago so the room and bathroom is looking a little tired and needs to be freshened up quite a bit. Also above the door is a window to the corridor so at night it lets light into the room.
The location was perfect. Right on the beach and the quiet street (not main road) where all the restaurants and bars were. we stayed in the penthouse which has a split level where the boys slept upstairs and we slept in the main part. The balcony was amazing to have. The staff were all so friendly and the resident stray dogs which have been adopted by them are lovely too. If you come to Sri Lanka you need to understand there are stray dogs everywhere so you can’t moan that they come in the seating areas. The food in the Resturant was really good and I was also impressed with the breakfast. You certainly won’t go hungry! I didn’t realise when booking it but they have 2 other hotels with pools so you can be taken there if you want too which is great.
