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.).

AustriaWe came at the end of the season, so some repairs needed...like curtain, stuck sink, restaurant had not much food and the beach was not 100% clean. but nothing big to complain.
Its a nice place, room was clean and tidy...Position is great, its not loud and very private. I can recommend to a family.

United Arab EmiratesIt’s a lovely hotel but just needs a bit of a clean and TLC - the pool especially. There were always dead insects in the water and a black ring around the top (just old sun cream and sweat) which stains swimwear. The child’s car seat in our transfer car was broken so we couldn’t use it. Also, the single bed added to the room was in really poor condition - rust falling off it and very uncomfortable.
The staff were awesome - happy, friendly and very accommodating. The hotel was in a nice, quiet area just off the main strip. Breakfast was lovely.

Great location right on the beach. It was nice being able to go for a swim in the ocean or float in the pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They had a nice restaurant with daily fresh seafood specials and bar. The rooms were clean and tastefully decorated with high ceilings and a cute balcony.

United KingdomThe pool area was not cleaned very thoroughly with rubbish left lying around. The beach would also have benefited from someone spending just a couple of minutes each morning picking up the litter around the cabanas. They do serve evening meals but the food was ridiculously priced and horrible. We ate there on our first night becuase we didn't have the energy to venture in to town after 20 hours of traveling and were not impressed. We never saw anyone else eating there during our 5 night stay, they are missing a trick becuase the dining area is a lovely setting by the pool overlooking the sea and it would be a great place to enjoy a nice meal if they could get a chef. Lastly the hotel is a beautiful design but not maintained to a high standard, we had broken fixtures and fittings in both of our rooms, holes in ceilings, wires hanging out of walls with no light fittings etc - it needs a bit of attention so that the interior matches it's grand design.
Nice quiet location just a 5 minute tuk tuk ride to Hikkaduwu with all its shops and restaurants. Lovely expanse of beach with cobanas for afternon snoozing. Rooms were comfortable with good A/C. The staff were friendly and helpful.

IndiaNo room service, there was no blanket, upon asking for it, it was kept at the reception and we had to go and collect it from there. Insects and ants shared the room with us. We stayed there for 2 nights, but no room Cleaning. Overall found it bit expensive compared to the price paid.
Good location, comfortable beds and continuously working Aircon. Also the view was good from the balcony. Breakfast had limited options was was very nice though.

United KingdomThis hotel is great in a quiet area of hikkaduwa. It is a 5 min tuk tuk (500rs) from the main area though if you want more bars and cafes.
The hotel was lovely. Perfect for our family with the pool and directly on the beach. The decor was stylish. The staff were wonderful and so helpful. The family room had 2 big beds so our 3 children could share.

NorwayThe room was fine, but we wished there was the option to book twin beds and not only double. Since there is only wifi in the common areas, we really missed some more comfy seating. The dining chairs were ekstremely uncomfortable. The hotel 'closes for the night' before 9PM, so it is not a place to 'hang out' in the evening, and it is 1-2 km from the main 'tourist area' in Hikkaduwa. The beach is not suitable for swimming, since the waves are to big/strong in that area of the beach
This is a nice little boutique hotel. the staff was very friendly and helpful.

BelgiumThe breakfast was quite basic, and it didn't change for all three days. It would be nice to have more variety. Also, having no Wi-Fi in the room was a bit inconvenient; it would be great if they could add that for guests who need to stay connected.
I really liked staying at this hotel! It's right by the beach, so I could easily go for a swim and enjoy the waves. The pool was nice and clean(3ft-5.6ft), perfect for a relaxing day under the sun. Overall, a great place for a beach getaway with a cool pool to chill in!

United KingdomChairs in the dining area are really uncomfortable, no chair in the bedroom and on the bedroom terrace two lounges but no cushions. Breakfast was typical Sri Lankan English but no fruit juice, pepper and salt on table, only a small thing I know but when you ask for it by the time you get it your eggs are cold. Sometimes you don’t get a lot of tea and just a cup, most if us are used to a mug and certainly a pain to keep asking for more tea and coffee.
It’s away from the hustle and bustle and only a short tuk tuk ride or walk into town. Staff friendly.
