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.).

FranceOverall we were disappointed with the accomodation and hospitality for the price we paid. The room was clean and basic but the plumbing in the bathroom is not up to standard (very low water pressure, poor drainage) There is a lack of information on arrival so expect to have to ask one of the few staff for anything you need.
If location were everything, this place would get a score of 11. Nestled at the end of a beautiful, clean sandy beach, the Blissbay has the best spot of all the beachfront bars and hotels. Dinner on the beach was really special (the food is good too). The resort felt safe, which is important.

Sri LankaRooms could be cleaner, and are in need of some repair and renewal.
A beautiful place, on a quiet part of the beach. Swimming and dine snorkeling nearby are excellent. Good at the restaurant is delicious and better value than elsewhere in Nilaveli. I understand rooms are to be refurbished, which is needed. Manager and staff are friendly, helpful and very good at cricket.

Australiafinding the hotel was hard. The Bungalow bathrooms were great but can use a bit more tidying (Looked as if the renovations were incomplete).
I stayed in the Bungalow. It was a beautiful place and was very comfortable. The beds were excellent and outdoor was great too, with a safe access to the beach. The breakfast buffet was delicious and exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to come back again :)

FranceOverall I am hapy about my stay ; the location is great, right in front of a beautiful beach with almost no one. Leonard was a great manager, always helpful and quick in respondng to our needs. On the other hand, one immediatly get the feeling that this hotel is a bit let down and would need some refurbishment but given the past of this part of the country that was absolutly no problem to me...

AustraliaWe had a fantastic stay at Bliss Bay at the rock. The location was absolutely beautiful—right next to the beach, where we enjoyed relaxing mornings and stunning sunsets. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind by the ocean. We’d definitely love to come back!

AustraliaThe manager, Leonard was creepy and offered to give me a massage on the first night I got there. As a woman travelling solo, this is alarming. The manager also spent his days sitting out on the beach which meant that if I were to use the beach infront of the accommodation, he would be watching me. The tuktuk driver who lives on the property was sending me multiple text messages everyday, asking how I am, of I have had lunch yet etc The tuktuk driver jumped the railing on my private balcony to "work" on the balcony? There were also men working on my front terrace area. Not sure why they have to work on my room when there were other rooms that were unoccupied and vacant. Lastly, at 1am someone came to the front of my room and switched off the electricity from the fuse box. All in all I felt unsafe. To go to a grocery store or atm I needed to take a tuktuk which I didn't want to do because of how much the tuktuk driver was messaging me. I ended up leaving the accommodation before the end of my booking because I felt scared and unsafe. Also note that WiFi is only available in the restaurant, not in the rooms and that there is no hot water for showers. These things are not stated anywhere.
The rooms are a nice size and are fairly nice considering the price and everything was clean. The restaurant staff were lovely and made some delicious food.

HungaryWe rented 3 room, and the bathroom in one of the rooms was worn-out, rusted. The beach beds were weather beaten, not to mention the few matracces available.
The food was excellent, and a beach is also nice.

GermanyProperty is not well maintained. Trash laying around. Rooms are very basic. Cold showers. Breakfast is not worth it. Lots of stray dogs on the property that chased our youngest child. For 65 EUR per night (2 adults + 2 children in one room) way overpriced. Manager was hanging out at the restaurant most of the time enjoying himself. Probably the worst hotel during our 3 week trip on the island.
The location is great

AustraliaThe room we stayed in was quite run down, the photos don’t match the room we were in. Maybe we got an overflow room because it seemed quite busy. The Manager was saying how they have suffered quite a bit during covid which is really sad but the rooms and facilities need an upgrade to make it worth the $60aud per night. The beach seating was damaged also not what’s in the photos. Unfortunately it was really expensive for what we got. In saying that I would come back because of the location and hopefully they have done some work…
Location was amazing Breakfast was so delicious the staff really made an effort. Staff were friendly and were able to organise a tuk tuk for us.

Sri LankaThe location of the hotel is like no other with the wide open space in the premises. The beach is by far the cleanest we've ever seen and ideal for a morning or evening dip. The staff were very courteous, friendly and hospitable making us feel welcome. The food was tasty with a perfect blend of spices picked from the garden. All in all, the perfect place to kick back and relax.
