How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewIt's located in very quiet nebhiour hod area away from all noise from traffic. It may take 15 munite to walk to main road. All rooms are spotless clean bed was very comfy toilet are very clean water pressure and room Aircon fantastic..

Owner of the hotel design it such a great rooms are very big absolutely good for people who are transit can have good rest.
All my meals are from the menu, but this time I was very disappointed it's not same taste as before and too much black sauce add in to my meal and salty, I think it's about time to think about change food vendor or the cook.

Verified reviewIt was conveniently located just 5/10 minutes to the airport. The room and bathroom were also spotless - the bathroom must have been renovated recently, it was very nice. Also, the hosts helped us organise a transfer early in the morning.
The house is right beside a train track, so it is a bit noisy. Trains pass at least once an hour. Also, the bed was very squeaky and wasn’t the most comfortable.

Verified reviewWe stayed here for one night before our flight, and everything was perfect. The room was spacious, spotless, and smelled really nice. It’s located just 4 km from the airport – about a 10-minute drive – which made it super convenient for our transfer. The place was very quiet and peaceful, and we had a great night’s sleep. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable stop near the airport!

Verified reviewWe couldn’t be happier with our stay! The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location is ideal, just 5 minutes from the airport and conveniently close to Negombo. What truly made this place stand out was the exceptional customer service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. We were delayed and arrived very early in the morning, but this was handled without any issue at all. Communication was smooth via WhatsApp, and they went out of their way to assist us with anything we needed. Breakfast was another highlight. The owner offered several options, and we chose the small local Sri Lankan breakfast, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. This was the first time we’ve ever rated a place 10 out of 10. It far exceeded our expectations, especially considering the price category. We were so impressed that we’ve already decided to return here for our final night at the end of the trip. Highly recommended!
There is no elevator available. The staff will help you with the bags

Verified reviewAbsolutely it's very peaceful quite place, very near to the airport you can reach in 10 minutes, staff is very helpful always ready to help when needed, they do not have restaurant but food are delivered when request and it's very delicious. Big room good air con and shower and clean towels, keeping place well maintained by staff. This is my second visit I'm back for sure
Location of this gust house ,if you do not have vehicle it's a long walk to the road, there is no street lights,road is too much of uneven, strays dogs on the road at night,no sign board to indicate the location of this gust house even at hotel premise, My suggestion is night shift staff should be staying and resting down stairs just in case of any emergency after when guest check in.i also think they should have some bottles soft drink to sell when needed coz it's too far to walk .

Verified reviewWe stayed one night and really liked it. We arrived late after a very long day. The very friendly night manager met us at the gate, completed our paperwork, arranged our taxi to the airport for the next day and carried our bags to our room. A very good breakfast (string hoppers, coconut sambol plus toast and jam). An excellent and comfortable place to stay. Highly recommended.
