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 reviewAn very good experience at Blue Wings, a place we recommend for its very good value for money. Here's what we liked the most: Location: Perfect! You are literally steps away from the beach, which is a huge advantage. The View: The view from the restaurant's terrace is superb, ideal for relaxing during a meal. The Staff: A 10/10 team, made up of very kind and helpful people. The Value: Overall, we consider it one of the best choices in the area in terms of value for money.

Verified reviewRight next to the sea. Big triple room with plenty of space, and provided adequate tea and coffee and water. Powerful shower with hot water. Owner was very helpful, signposting us to a dolphin watching and snorkelling group. Tasty breakfast for an additional cost, and we also dined there another two times, both meals were nice.
Nothing, everything was lovely.

Verified reviewVery near to beach.
the room and washroom were basic. compared to price it seems too basic. However, you cannot call it a complete hotel. more like a building with rooms. No washroom amenities were provided. There were no blankets only sheet provided

Verified reviewThe staff is great. Kudos to Tiron who is a wonderful guy. The view is awrsome and you can hear the ocean abd watch fishermen bring in their catch roght on the beach
This property would get 10/10 if it weren’t for the hundreds of crows who caw-caw from morning to night. We love birds but this is over the top. They have taken over the place and sitting outside on balcony is not pleasant So much so that we would have changed hotels if our stay was longer. Also, this stretch of beach is not the cleanest.

Verified reviewGreat place to stay in the Trinco area. Beautiful balcony overlooking the beach and a lovely area to eat and relax. Family run place and the owner/staff are so lovely and welcoming. Clean facilities and everything worked. Right on the beach and a short tuk tuk (7-10 mins) from the main Trinco centre / fort or Trinco market (main touristy area). Would definitely stay here again!

Verified reviewgreat location at the beach, in a more quiet area, but if you would feel the need to see a lot of tourists 5-10 minutes in a tuktuk will get you to there. beach towels provided, beach chairs can be used from the next door restaurant if you order drinks there, which is convenient. (hotel has better food) great owner who helps organize dolphin tours for very good value home cooked seafood dinner with seaview, the fresh fish can't be be beaten. great breakfast sri lankan / european mix. lovely people working there
nothing, very happy about the place

Verified reviewOur stay at Blue Wings Beach Hotel was very pleasant. Staff was very friendly. The room was clean, had good beds, and a nice shower. There was also a refrigerator, which was very convenient. The hotel is located right on the beach, which makes it even more appealing. From the hotel, it’s about a two-kilometer walk along the beach to an area with many restaurants. By tuk-tuk, it takes about ten minutes to get there. All in all, a quiet and pleasant location for a relaxing stay by the sea.

Whilst my son enjoyed the Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. The western one was less inviting.

Verified reviewThe rooms look way bigger and more beautiful then on the pictures. We had seaview from our room. The location is just perfect. A 10 sec walk to the quieter area of the beach. But enough facilities in the neighbourhood. The family made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious too. Genuinely positive surprised by the hotel.
Absolutely nothing.

Verified reviewWe were welcomed to this 10 Roomed Boutique family owned hotel by the owner Mr Praba with a friendly smile and a nice welcome drink. The place is located 50 Metres from the beautiful sandy beach front, the rooms are new and the bathroom is spotless. The first and second floors have great views of the bay. We had a TV, Ceiling Fan, big Fridge with some supplies and an Air Conditioner to keep us cool. The Staff are well trained and genuinely helpful. There are four rooms in the ground floor and three in the first floor and three rooms in the second floor. The third floor - no rooms butr offers a view of the bay. There are tables and chairs on each floor and in front of each room. Note. There is no elevator available for the upper floors but the staff were extremely helpful with the luggage. I would like to say a few words about Mr Praba, the owner who knows everything there is to know about Trincomalee and surrounding with several contacts to get things done. He also knows the hospitality business...being an excellent Chef .( Try his Garlic Crabs with Buns and Chicken Schnitzel and Salad) He leads from the front...I mean literally. He is there all the time and knows what is happening and is a fount of all knowledge He is a ' hands-on ' owner. . He was very helpful, flexible and generous . Thankyou Mr and Mrs Praba and family for making our trip to your City a truly wonderful experience.
Err.....I'm still thinking 🤔.

Verified reviewThe owner is a great person, always willing to help with anything in his power. Great staff, tasty breakfast, nice view from the 2nd floor terrace.
The beds produce a strange sound when you lie on them. The biggest issue was the shower that had no curtain, therefore when you shower the entire bathroom floor becomes wet. Also, there are no bars and restaurants in this part of the beach, which is why we were going to Cafe on the 18th, Snack Bar Hawai and Waves up north on the beach.

Verified reviewThe staff were super helpful and the food was great! I extended my trip and they sorted me out perfectly. I was able to work from here whilst also travelling around the coast. 30 seconds from the beach so it was lovely for a morning swim.
I’m a solo traveller so perhaps more for couples and families, however I still felt very welcomed
