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...).

United States of AmericaThe room could used more lights. There was super loud music one night, but stopped very soon after we alerted the owner.
Easy bicycling to visit the sites. Clean. Bike rental on site, though not the best quality or price, super convenient. Easy enough to walk to restaurants. Helpful owners.

United KingdomA long overdue review but one I couldn't not write. I had a wonderful stay at Levi's when staying in Anuradhapura. Room was basic but very comfortable and excellent value. AC worked well and bed was comfy. But the thing I'll remember most from my stay was the food.. if you stay here you have to try their Sri Lankan curry. Levi and his wife made the most incredible tasting curries. Easily one of the best I had during my time in Sri Lanka (and I had many from different places). Location is also ideal as only a short tuktuk ride from nearby things to see

United States of AmericaNot located in the best location. Requires about 20 minutes walk to good restaurants and bus stand. Tuk-Tuk charges will add up to the overall cost.
Simple but clean and comfortable room. Though not located on the main street, but convenient to visit the historical sites like Siri Maha Bodhi, etc., Railway station, Bus Stand and City Center using the local transportation mode Tuk-Tuk. Restroom/bathroom was neat and clean with hot water shower. Aircon and Fan worked well with little noise, but tolerable. Friendly and helpful host with always big smile. Host is always available, if any assistance needed. Host provided useful info on tour to Trincomalee by Govt. Bus and also arranged Tuk-Tuk to the Railway Station. Thank you for your help and hospitality.

United States of AmericaWe rented one speed bikes from them for 1000 Rs each. No baskets and both bikes needed the bearings repacked. Later we rented bikes at Polonnawura for 400 Rs that had gears, baskets and no bearing issues. It’s ok to charge a little more for convenience, but the bikes need to be maintained better. We went to sleep at 10 pm one night and then heard loud karaoke singing. I messaged the owner who said he would be done in 10 minutes! Shocking that the owner didn’t even show consideration for his own guests!
Quiet neighborhood but easy to walk down the dirt road across the RR tracks to get into town in a few minutes. Beautiful yard, nice tables to sit on the patio (but we didn’t because it was too hot in the day and mosquitos at night). Comfortable bed. Room had electric kettle and mini fridge, plus a desk. Wi-Fi worked fine. We ate our own oatmeal and didn’t try their meals.

CanadaOnly great things to say about this place! Hot water, great water pressure, strong AC, big bed with good mattress, pillows not too firm, great location and great set up. Wifi works well! Room has lots of space and storage to put your things, has a huge mosquito net, and stays nice and dark if you like to sleep in! Otherwise the lighting is great and opening the windows allows a lot of natural light. Right outside your door you have a nice outdoor space with your own table and chairs. There is a beautiful garden courtyard too. You get a close up view of monkeys running around on the roof! There are only a handful of rooms so it won't get overly busy. We rented a push bike to check out the archeological sites, it was an easy 15-20 min or so ride. A tuk tuk to town/food is about 220 rs so you're close to all you need. Great price, they also offer food which we had the breakfast and it was exactly what we needed. We were treated to fresh juice on our arrival. We only stayed one night as we were just traveling through, but I would easily stay here longer, they have definitely put all the work in to make this place a treat to stay at. We rank this place within our top 3 in our month in Sri Lanka, and we have stayed at some great places all throughout the country. Highly recommend!
