Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

The individual bungalows are set in a beautiful tranquil garden. Kennath the owner was extremely helpful, the staff were all friendly. Rice and curry dinner was delicious. Kennath ordered a pizza for us before our late evening flight.

A true Japanese gem in the heart of Negombo. I received the warmest welcome of my whole trip in Sri Lanka. The garden is peaceful and charming, and the little houses are both lovely and very comfortable.

The tropical surroundings and the individual huts are relaxing and have a local feel. The huts are clean and stylish, with a separate sitting area looking into nature. Kaneth the manager is friendly and around if you need anything. Transport to places further inland, or local tuktuk can be arranged. Breakfast and dinner are optional and are delicious and freshly prepared. This is a peaceful place with a modern approach. Great pool.

NetherlandsWe stayed in Mango house for the first 2 nights and the last 2 nights of our trip to Sri Lanka, and it was perfect for us! After our long flight it was great to have a clean and quiet place to relax. The garden is amazing and the beds are great. We were lucky to see a lot of fireflies on the first 2 nights as well! We were happy to return for our last 2 days as we knew we’d be at a relaxing spot for our final hours in Sri Lanka. We stayed in a family room (cottage 10) and it was spacious and had everything we needed. It was actually bigger than it looked on the photos. The food is also very tasty and the hosts are very accommodating. All in all we would definitely recommend Mango House to anyone looking for a stay in Negombo

After arriving in Sri Lanka late at night after a 18 hours of travel we were transported to Mango House in a van arranged for us by Kenath. Fantastic service, and we arrived to the most wonderful room for our family of four. Super tidy, clean, cool and comfy. Our whole family still dreams about the breakfasts at Mango House. At first I was worried they weren’t your standard rice and curry, but the sandwiches with amazing bread, fruit, tea, coffee were all fabulous. The spicy fish sandwich was so good. We loved the pool, the amazing property with stunning gardens, and clear Japanese influence.

They can arrange other transportation, trips and tuk tuk for you and give advice what to see. The host is very friendly and so is his Japanese coworker. It is very clean, nice swimming pool too.

We arrived after midnight and travelling with our teenagers, all very tired. The owner greeted us, organised our airport taxi so all very stressed free. Our room was immaculate surrounded by nature. Air con was super quiet yet efficient. I’m a gardener so really enjoyed the planting. Lots of love poured into making this a special place to unwind. Our girls especially enjoyed the swimming pool, again clean. Loved our first day in Sri Lanka. I don’t often give a 10 as there’s always room to Improve. But the guest house deserves a 10 review. Thank you 🙏
