How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe beach is literally less than 5min. walk from the hotel, so many restaurants within minutes of walk, check-in was smooth, place was clean. If you are staying in Unawatuna, try this area.. you won't regret it.
A Queen bed should be one bed with extra width, we had found 2 single beds merged together and there was the seam in between. The rooms that are street facing - can get hot during summer, the AC felt a little underpowered but thankfully there was ceiling fan- so we had to run both.
Dear Mr.Rejwan family, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the convenient location of our hotel, just a short walk from the beautiful beach and numerous restaurants. It's wonderful to know that the check-in process was smooth and that the cleanliness met your expectations. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the bedding arrangement and the limitations of the air conditioning. With the current high temperatures and increased humidity, the air conditioners are indeed challenged. We recommend operating both methods of cooling for the time being. Nonetheless, we are taking measures to improve and maintain our air conditioning systems for better performance. Additionally, merging two single beds is not standard for our King-size rooms, and we will ensure our team addresses this issue promptly. Your feedback is invaluable as it assists us in enhancing our guests' experiences. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Unawatuna for an even more enjoyable stay.

Verified reviewIts a crowdy place, so dont expect to much. The Hotel is clean and the stuff is very helpull.
The name Baywatch could be some misunderstanding. There is no Baywatch, not even from the Hotel, nor the streets, nor the Restaurants. There are only Hotels, Hotels, People, Tuc Tucs, Tourists.... The worst place to stay for your Holidays.

Verified reviewLocation & staff
We were given ground floor room / Claustra phobic / Sunlight coming into room from a glass window not coverable hence sleeping during day time is difficult / Small room May be other floor rooms are more enjoyable. However we did not get one of those and property did not inform it during booking process.

Verified reviewGood location, near beach and restaurants Nice people, gave mango juice as soon as we came, helped with baggage air conditioning was good Nice balcony to sit with family.
Lots and lots of noise coming due to festival, but nothing stopping the sound e.g. soundproof windows Lots of Mosquitoes Not very clean Floor not painted, room should be renovated Smell coming from the fabric used for bedsheets and the mosquito nets, not very nice Holes in the mosquito nets Insects crawling into bathroom through hole in the wall Found centipede in the bath Found larvae on the bed - not very good if you hate bugs. Bed sheets and pillow covers need new. Overall I think the place needs renovating.
