Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

We have been traveling for almost 2weeks and this was by far the best place we stayed at. The family was so welcoming and sweet, made us feel like at home. Helped us with everything and were so understanding. After our stay we did not even want to leave cause they made us feel so good, such a lovely family. If you can its definitely a place worth a stay, everything is clean, they have AC, private bathroom and just a lot of room to put your things, over all very comfortable and nice. 10/10 experience!❤️💛❤️💛❤️

I stayed 2 nights at Namalis place and she really made sure that I have the best time possible. She offered to make western or Sri Lankan food which was really delicious. She also organised some tours including transportation which was very helpful. The rooms are big and clean and the balcony is the perfect place to relax. There is also a really sweet dog that enjoys belly rubs :)

FranceYou can hear some ads in the street through megaphones (but it has nothing to do with the guest room). Its just a part of the city (from 8am to 22pm i guess)
The host was totally charming, she made us very confortable and was available at any time. You should definitely order some food, she is a really good cooker (special mention for the rice and curry).

Beatiful home with even more beautiful owners! The accomadation was clean and well looked after with good ac/fan aswell as nice common areas to relax and hang out. The food was simple but very tasty. The thing that makes this accomodation the absolute best is the ownes! Super welcoming, warm and attentive. Providing us with activities in the area, always making sure that you are comfortable and enjoying your stay. We booked only one night but ended up staying for four nights. Namali and her family made our stay the absolute best!

The family here are amazing and make you feel so welcome! The nicest family we have met on our travels. They make you feel so at home. It was the best breakfast we have had so far in Sri Lanka - included a big meal, juice and tea. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Little luna, their dog, is so friendly too and loved a belly tickle. The location is great as you can walk 5 minutes and be at the main beach where there are lots of restaurants and bars.

PolandI highly recommend staying at the Golden Town Hotel. The owners are incredibly helpful and courteous. They organized transportation for us, both for local sightseeing in a tuk-tuk to admire the turtles and for a trip to Udawalawe Park, as well as providing a guide for the park. They even arranged small details like a power adapter. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast, which we could schedule at our preferred time. On the day of our park visit, instead of breakfast, they provided a packed meal, and the owners woke up at 4 in the morning to see us off. Additionally, the owners run a convenience store, so if you need water or any other products, they are readily available, and you can trust that you won't be overcharged. They also have a restaurant on-site, offering the convenience of purchasing meals right at the hotel. A valuable note for us was that from the hotel, we went directly to Udawalawe Park, where the owner personally drove us. From the park, we continued our journey to Ella in different transportation. This meant we didn't have to waste time during our stay in Tangalle, allowing us to make the transfer seamlessly. While you can take buses from Tangalle to Ella, be prepared for one or two transfers, with Wellawaya being a definite stop. Additionally, in Sri Lanka, you can use the PickMe app, similar to Uber. To get to Tangalle from Colombo, we opted for private transportation, negotiating a lower price after being approached at the airport. We managed to bring the initial quote down by 70%.
