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.).

Sri LankaStaff was not supportive. Had to keep asking for the same thing many times. It was not clean as there were cockroaches in the bed room There were no curtains in the kitchen. Everyone outside could see it directly which was very uncomfortable We didn’t have towels by the time we checked in and waited for more than 2hrs. Couldn’t contact the staff and had to walk to the reception few times. They gave us some old towers covered in ants and looked dirty and we returned them immediately We didn’t have any toiletries, face towels, rugs. They told us that it was due a delay in delivery from the laundry.

AustraliaThe dark spots on my bedsheets.. asked for this to be changed but no one ended up coming. Everything else was clean though including the bathroom. The gastove cooktop also did not work & had to request service. Also could not get the phones to dial out but that could be a user issue.
Back of the property leads out to the beach. Nice pool in the midst of a picturesque garden. Amenities of the hotel were comfortable, very handy having a kitchenette.

United KingdomMinor things only that could be improved: Two of the bath towels were stained so we asked to change them and it was done. There were no pool towels the day we arrived we had to wait until the next day as they were all in laundry. The kitchen cupboard doors and walls need a bit of a clean as some dirty stains/marks.
The apartment is well decorated and well furnished and the pool is lovely and we liked the beach too. The beach is quiet as most of the action is towards Uppuveli but we liked the peaceful location. The apartment had all the appliances and things we needed. We liked the location next to Diving Guru which is a very good outfit for diving and snorkelling and it has a great cafe. There is another nice cafe a bit further along also. We enjoyed our stay.

QatarWifi was supposed to be free unlimited, but during the stay we discovered it is mapped to only 5GB and it had to be increased each time ! Increase was not expensive and at the end the host paid it but it is not matter of money but matter of complicated process that you need to call the IT to come each time a 5GB is consumed ! which is annoying if you plan to merge remote work with holidays

Sri LankaExcept for the delay in checking in, everything else was near perfect. Keys were not available on arrival due to a late departure. We arrived late, but had to wait beyond one hour. A few more guests had the same problem, so steps need to be taken to make sure guests leave on time, especially since an apartment takes longer to clean. Gas stove had too much gas input so had to repair it once, but it flared up again. However, that only resulted in a bit of overcooked food - not a big issue.
Location was perfect. Ample parking. Private beach with a security guard at the entrance to the beach - just in case. Had a great dip in the sea followed by a relaxing swim in the pool. Walking distance to the Poseidon diving center where you can rent a boat/snorkels to go to Pigeon island. Apartment had almost all amenities in the kitchen. Rooms were very comfy. Living area had sofa, tv, a rack to dry clothes, an iron. Well furnished and clean.

AustraliaThe location of the property is very inconvenient for everything including grocery shopping, as there are no supermarkets within walking distance and cost us 2000rs to go the nearest one, and you will have to go to the town centre of Trinco which is around 40 mins away. The beach is inaccessible as the location is not suitable for swimming and is advised against it. There are no reasonably priced restaurants nearby as they all are foreigner prices. The place it self did not have tissues, hand towels, salt and pepper and would be a lot more worthy if there was a washing machine for the price that was paid. Overall it's best to do research before booking this place as it cost us a lot more money just to travel to a convenient store, and is not worth the price.
The place was very clean and aesthetic. The kitchen was equipped with convenient equipment for cooking. The pool was well maintained to wind down. The environment was very calming with the sound of the beach. The staff was very kind and helpful.

United KingdomIt’s about a 20 min drive into town to get grocery’s. However it is only 5 mins drive to get a Boat to visit Pidgeon Island which is good
Our Apartment was Amazing! we loved our stay there! It’s was extremely big and very clean. It also kindly had everything you would need. It was like living in a home from home. The kitchen was full of cooking utensils and a fridge/freezer. The lounge was lovely with a big dining table. Both bathroom immaculate and bed were very comfortable. We’ve been travelling for 4 months from the UK, and this was one of our most favourite places to stay. The infinity Pool overlooking the sea was lovely, with two shallow kids areas. Also the food from the restaurant was Very Good. We loved our stay.
