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.).

NetherlandsThe beds weren't the most comfortable
Very comfortable and aesthetic resort right next to the beach. Personnel was very friendly and helpful, and dinner tasted really good (albeit not the cheapest). Pool area is also very comfortable and the beach is practically a private beach. Our room was very spacious.

New ZealandThere was nothing we did not like. We like the rustic and relaxing vibe which is what the accommodation is like. It’s not a flash upmarket sort of place so don’t go in with expectations. Go there to ‘get away’, and you will not be disappointed.
If you are looking for a more secluded, relaxing break away, to literally tap out, then this is the place to stay. What will be memorable about our stay will be the beach out front- you pretty much have it to yourself and the small number of people who stay at 108 Palms. The beach is kept clean of all rubbish, the water is warm and inviting. The best thing is that the beach is right on your door step. Inside the property, it is very relaxing. Theres a pool and hammocks to relax in. The staff go to great lengths to keep the property tidy, and well maintained. All the staff are kind, caring and genuinely good people. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners who were there throughout our stay (5 nights). The owners care about what they have created, and are passionate about looking out for the locals. Thank you Mark, and all your beautiful staff who made our stay at 108 Palms resort perfect. We will be back!

GermanyThe place is very well maintained and looked after. The garden and the „lonely“ and unnamed beach is just so beautiful! You get the enjoy all this beauty by yourself and this is honestly just amazing. The room has a really nice design, aswell as good furniture. You are asked if you want a cleaning service and that’s a big plus in my opinion, since it’s not necessary to have the room cleaned everyday and get to decide it for yourself. The staff and the owner are such nice and welcoming people, always up for a talk and listen carefully to your concerns and wishes.If you ask them, they can always provide you with interesting facts about the country and places to go and visit. Sometimes they host a bonfire at the beach, which is just lovely. It’s also a great opportunity to get to know everyone and just spend a really cozy and peaceful evening at the beach after dinner. Also available to drive you around in their own TukTuk and wait for you for very reasonable prices. The food is just excellent, big thank you to the cook, always gives his best to deliver a great meal. In the end this stay is really worth the money. Overall a one of a kind experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back here!

A beautiful location with a beautiful beach a stone throw away. The beach was so quiet it was like having your own private beach. The staff were amazing and the chef was the cherry on top his food was outstanding in presentation and taste with a good mix of sri lankan and western food available.

GermanySri Lankan food was mostly very good (more of that please!), European style food less tasty, but okay, so we would prefer more of the local dishes. AC would need a bit of maintenance, simple stuff like wall hooks or bedside lamps would be nice. It could be clearer in the description that the bungalow is shared, we had expected to have one bungalow for 4 people as it says „bungalow“ and not rooms in the booking, which was no problem at all with lovely neighbors, but you should know this. However, as it was all in all such a beautiful location, our stay was wonderful.
Location is top! Beautiful place, nice garden, nice pool, very friendly staff, hammocks under the palm trees are nice, beach beds, wonderful beach where you can have a good swim, also with children. People offered a good service anytime, assisting with getting a tuk tuk or other transport. Rooms: Fridge, shelves and cleanliness were a plus, also the small terrace with chairs.

Lovely place. A bit further from Uppuveli but very clean and quiet. The nature is very cherished in the property , nice pool, private part of the beach , practically no people there. Breakfast was nice and different every day, unlike in all other hotels we stayed. Nice big rooms , a fridge is a bonus, to keep water and fruit cold.

JapanSome renew work could be done in the wash room. However it did not bother us during our stay.
Location. Private access to the beach. Beach is very clean in May when we are visiting. Staffs are very friendly and supportive, right to the point. Food. Breakfast are very nice with varieties. We stayed three days. All different and always small surprise to us. The first day was the local loft bread, the 2nd is the Roti bread and the cream grilled potato. The third day was the banana cereals. I will add some photos of Breakfast and dinner. The price is at middle level of tricomalee with is more expensive then sigiriya and Ella for example. However the quality price value are still good. Lunch and Dinner menu changes daily, a reservation is needed. All freshly cooked from the neat kitchen, Garden. Very clean and neat garden with a lot of trees and flowers. Well maitained.

NetherlandsWe were lucky to get a room so last minute, it was fully booked. I missed a chair in the room itself, as i like to sit and read, or do some writing. The shower was nice and hot. A bit weird was the location of the cold shower, next to the hot shower with a protruding cold water tap (almost sticking into your ass when you try to shower without watering the entire washroom). But that is a detail that probably arose with the maintenance that bathrooms require over time. Very positive overall.
Good food, nice location, atmosphere, camp fire, nice pool, well trained accomodating staff that is really servicing it’s guests.
