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.).

I recently stayed at Hotel Apollo and had an amazing experience. As a solo traveler, I was looking for a comfortable and welcoming place, and this hotel definitely delivered. The double room I booked was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

The property is on the beach with a perfect location for everything you need in Hikkaduwa. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff are very nice and we really appreciated all the good talks with them. The restaurant connected to the hotel is also really good, with proper italian cuisine. (Try the pizza, trust me)

Amazing place! The view is gorgeous, the panoramic window overlooking the ocean is just a dream. We were received very warmly, they were always in touch, but at the same time no one bothered us during our vacation. We were very comfortable, thank you very much!

United KingdomThe room wasn’t exactly as expected. Listing for this deluxe double room mentioned seating area, tea and coffee making and a mosquito net, none of which it had. Main reason for booking was for the balcony and sea view which was in fact a terraced walkway down to the beach which also had an area for all guests to wash their feet before entering accommodation. Very warm to sit out there due to a/c units to other rooms. Our view of the sea was pretty much interrupted by another couple in another sea view room who sat at the end of the terrace.
Location is amazing. Right on the beach and within walking distance of all shops and restaurants in Hikkaduwa. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
