Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Wonderful little home in the city. For those enjoying a more personal experience and dislike the big hotels this is a wonderful option. Siti is the in house staff member and she is lovely; always happy to make a pot of tea and delivering delicious morning breakfasts at whatever time needed. Sadie is the house dog and a real sweetie. The home itself is small but lovely and comfortable and a great base for time in and around Colombo.

United KingdomI could not sleep well during these two nights because it was impossible to adjust the air condition. Whether it said 22 degrees or 27, it made o difference. It was just too cold, and it was not possible to get this sorted within a day. I understand..
I had booked this property a little less than a decade ago, but had to cancel the whole trip then for various reasons. It was clear to me that I would book "27" again, because already then the owner, Glenn, an Australian, was so prompt in answering all my questions swiftly. It was the same this time, and I am very grateful for that. The good soul of "27" is Sita, a Sri Lankan lady who is extremely kind and helps with whatever she can. I had the pleasure to meet her whole family. Other guests wrote that Sita is also a wonderful cook, and everybody praises her dinners. I was offered one but, given that I was in Colombo only one day and wanted to do as much sightseeing as possible until late, I could not take advantage of the offer. However, the one breakfast I had was superb, and Sita also prepared a great takeaway breakfast on the second morning when I had to leave for the airport at 6.30. The property is in the busy Haveloch neighbourhood, but hidden away in a side street and therefore very quiet, indeed an oasis. My deluxe room was very clean and spacious, with an aircon that made no noise.

Lovely and quiet property away from the centre of Columbo, but easy to get around in the plentiful and cheap tuk tuks that are easily accessible. Sita is the wonderful and friendly housekeeper and made us feel very welcome. She prepared a yummy Sri Lankan breakfast and also cooked for us twice in the evenings, a delicious and plentiful curry for US$10 each. The owner, Glenn, although not there when we stayed was very helpful prior to arrival and organised a taxi for us from the airport. Very good value for money and would recommend a stay here.

United KingdomThe Wi-Fi was shocking.The toilet seat was loose and moved when you sat on it. The tap also was loose and moved around when you used it. I know it’s a bit petty but if you say it gives them the heads up to put it right.After all that’s what reviews are for, I think.
Sita and Yannik were really friendly and helpful.The breakfast was really good.Nice big and comfortable bed.We were only there one night.Glen the owner was overseas working but still messaged us to make sure we had everything we needed.He also said we could message him if we needed any tips going forward on our trip.That’s what I call great customer service 👌🏻.I would highly recommend a stay here if you are in the area.

The accommodaation was in very nice and calm locality, close to city centre. The house itself nicely decorated for Christmas, and rooms are big enough to keep luggage. The caretaker Sita was very humble and helpful person.. We reached well past 11pm, welcomed us with smiling face. Though we ciuldn't meet the owner, but he was always there to help/suggest from the date of booking. Many eateries are near by... We would love to stay again in future.

United Kingdomgood quiet location but easy access to everything via tuk tuk. Sita is very helpful and a kind person. helped us get our sim card sorted ( there was a long queue at the airport and it was so simple to sort just round the corner from the house). we ate Sita's home made fish curry and it was even nicer than the quite posh restaurant we went to on our second night! finally, we were both a bit washed out from our long flight and we got into the room a little early and stayed a couple of hours after checking out which meant so much to us. thanks again Sita. And Glenn who was very helpful via messaging.
