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.).

AustriaA nice place to be. Clean room, big and comfortable bed with mosquito net, warm water, quiet place, close to the long beach, which is less crowded than in Hikkaduwa, many restaurants nearby. But above all is the family! What ever you need they are here for you. This was our second stop in Sri Lanka and we feel very fortunate to have stayed on both places with extremely welcoming families.

United KingdomReally enjoyed our stay at Anthony’s. Quiet & comfortable room. Comfy bed. Anthony and his Son Dillon were so friendly and knowledgeable- nothing was too much hassle. Dillon picked us up from the airport helped us to plan the rest of our trip and drove us to our next destination. I would recommend it to anyone.

On top of that, we have his parents which were awesome, with Antonio being a superstar! Very kind and funny man! We had a blast with Antonio!

The family is very nice, as a solo female traveler I felt safe and good taken care of. Coffe, breakfast, papaya juice. I rented a bike from them and did loundry. Dilan, the son, was a great help with recomandations of sightseeing and traveling. Great AC and fan!!!! Bed was clean and comfy. Moschito net in perfekt shape and clean! Privat kitchen, had everything, I did not really use it. Private bathroom, clean and new, so happy! Location is a bit of the center, but I got around by bike just fine.they ofer airport pick up, I regreted not accepting it, I ended up spending more money with more hustle. It is not on the main street, small street, but safe for walkingveven after dark. Would return 100%.

GermanyI've been to this lovely nation five times, and Anthony is among the loveliest people I've ever encountered. He places a high value on the service and does not prioritise money. A minute is all it takes to reach the blue-turquoise beach. We had an excellent guided city tour of Galle thanks to his arrangements. I later found out that he is a certified lecturer and a tour guide in Sri Lanka. He has such a modest demeanour, and such enlightening conversations are really worthwhile. With all the conveniences inside, the room was large, contemporary, and clean. The air conditioner was quiet and brand-new. I have no difficulty in recommending this location. A must visit location on Sri Lanka's southern coast because you will receive excellent value for your money. I nearly forgot to add how delicious the dinner was. Hope to come back to Anthony Guesthouse next year as well. I glad i found this place on booking 🤞

NetherlandsThe mattress was a bit thin and seemed a bit older, with some obvious sagging in the middle. It didn't bother us at all, but I can imagine if you have a bad back it could be uncomfortable.
Great place, very friendly and enthusiastic family. Dylan knows a lot about the surrounding area and his parents are there to help out when he´s away. There is a train track behind the house (which is true for almost all accommodations in Hikkaduwa) and although you can hear the train pass, it didn't disturb me or my toddler.

The owners are so amazing—they go out of their way to help you out. 10/10 for hospitality. Thank you, Dilan and his parents, for the nicest stay I’ve had in Sri Lanka. I hope to be back.

CyprusGreat room. The owner Anthony and his family are very nice and friendly people. We asked them for water several times - each time they gave us huge bottles of water and did not even charge us any money for it. They have a lot of cats and kittens and a very cool dog. The beach is literally across the road, a couple of minutes by tuktuk to the beach with turtles. The location itself is quiet and pleasant. We had a great weekend there.

United KingdomThe Anthony Guesthouse in Hikkaduwa is the ideal location to stay. The restaurants and the train station are both fairly near by. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The breakfast was very variety and very good. The staff at the guesthouse has always been accommodating, kind, and patient. I was extremely amazed by that. You could confide in them at any time of day or night with any worries you had. On my next stays, I will definitely check into Anthony Guesthouse again. The ratio of price to performance is excellent. The doctor prescribed long beach walks, which I got ample of during my time at Anthony Guesthouse.

My stay was fantastic thanks to Anthony, who is incredibly helpful. The breakfast is excellent, and his wife makes a variety of delicious, authentic Sri Lankan dishes that I really enjoyed😊.
