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...).

AustraliaNothing really, WiFi isn’t great if good connection is essential for you but I suspect this will be the same in most places.
The perfect landing pad to start my trip in Sri Lanka. Everything was great- big comfy bed, modern bathroom, excellent breakfast, Sita’s wonderful hospitality. Her son drove me in his tuktuk to the train station on departure, helped me buy a ticket and even took me to the train itself to make sure I got a seat. I felt safe and well looked after. Thank you Glenn for the travel tips too!

United KingdomNothing, we would very much recommend this B&B and would stay again if in Colombo
Lovely warm welcome. Very spacious and comfortable room with A.C., comfy bed, lovely clean shower ensuite. Property is just set off the main road which made it quiet to stay, but a 15min tuk tuk and you can be on the coast or amongst main attractions. The owner also very helpful, and made an excellent recommendation for our final evening meal. We had a early start to airport so a take away breakfast was made for us which was very good.

Canadacouldn't get hot water but it was so hot outside that we didn't really need it nor did we mention it to Sita.
SITA, the caretaker, was THE BEST. She is so sweet, makes excellent breakfasts, including a special one for New Years', and seems to genuinely want to make everyone happy. She took care of everything as if we were family members. The owners were living outside the country (they were very responsive via whatsapp) so Sita ran the show and is the face and success of this place. We enjoyed meeting her two children, sweet Sadie the dog, and the yard tortoise!

AustraliaVery clean place, comfortable mattress and pillows. I've stayed at a number of places nearby and you can find cheaper comparable accommodation, but you cannot guarantee the care and cleanliness provided here. If you want a hassle free stay with a great touch of care and attention to detail - stay here! Sita was a lovely housekeeper and treats you like family. A number of requests I had were graciously and quickly accommodated by the hosts. Thank you

Everything. Thanks to Glenn we will return with positive memories of our stay in Colombo, even if ongoing developments didn't allow us to actually see the city. This was our last night in Sri Lanka, completing a great two weeks trip through the country. While the economic situation in Sri Lanka is far from great and news are not too positive, we never felt unsave and will return home with many great memories and experiences.
