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.).

ThailandThe Staff were excellent, kind, helpful and created a relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent, the coffee was great and you don't get a better view, right on the beach. The room we stayed in was perfect for us, we loved it.

United KingdomExceptional stay at a very beautiful hotel by the beach. The staff were very supportive and attentive. The food here was exceptional, the tuna poke bowl divine. Furthermore, this place has a lovely cocktail menu, I tried many, all with a Sri Lankan twist, delicious and divine. The morning breakfast was fresh, and there was a selection of morning coffees and teas. The rooms were spacious and elegant with a comfortable bed. Just sitting reading on the balcony of your room or on the deck chairs watching and listening to the waves was very healing when a place like this provides the vibes.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The room was clean and nicely decorated. We loved the outdoor shower. The breakfast’s were delicious and they stuck to a Sri Lankan theme. You also got a coffee/tea/iced coffee included. The staff were lovely and friendly. We got a welcome smoothie which was a lovely touch. The communal area is also wonderful to hang out in during the evenings. We had a fantastic cocktail.

IrelandEverything about this place is spectacular. The room itself was beautiful and clean. The aircon worked very well and cooled the room down within a few minutes. The bed was comfortable and there was reliably hot water. The beach and sunbed areas were clean, comfortable, some parts in the shade and they have a full menu with reasonably priced food and drinks. What really made this place special was the staff. Every single one of the people working here was friendly, polite and kind. Some of the guys remembered our names from the first day and were so lovely and hard working. I also did surf lessons with Kalu who was very knowledgeable and helpful and made the lessons really fun.

GermanyFor us, it was the perfect stay! Nothing to dislike!
We were looking for a place to relax and we found exactly that. The rooms are beautiful, very quiet and comfortable with a nice balcony to spend hours watching the sea. The restaurant/ sunbed area is also suberb, you can chill there all day long. At sunset they will set up tables right at the beach. It was the perfect location. The breakfast is great, every day you get different dishes, from toast, to pancakes to Sri Lankan breakfast! The staff is very friendly and funny. My special thanks goes to my surf Instructor Kalu, who was very knowledgeable, patient and an excellent teacher! I took 3 lessons, wish I could have done more, and he really knows how to help you to progress according to your needs. I highly recommend Amaroo!
