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 reviewWe had a wonderfull time at the hotel! The staff was very nice and helpfull. They were cleaning a lot so it is clean an tidy. The room was big and comfortable. Plenty of room to park the tuk tuk in front of the hotel. Breakfast was very nice! We also had dinner there two times because we liked it. They arranged the safari to Yala for us. We got the best guide ever! Even tough we had little lick with seeing animals that day he still tried his best. And the end of the day we did see 3 leopards! His wife cooked us a very nice meal for lunch that we eat at the beach of Yala.
It is a bit far from the center but you can arrange transport trough the hotel or if you have your own it is very handy.
Thanks for your valuable feedback 🙏🙏

Verified reviewVery nice accommodation, clean, with a nice pool. Typical hotel service with restaurant. We only spent one night here so I can't rate everything. The accommodation arranged a Safari in Yala for us, they arranged a nice Jeep for just the two of us ( I said we could take a shared one, but they can't arrange that - or probably don't want to). Anyway, it was nice not to worry about anything, they even packed us a breakfast to take with us on the Safari as it starts at 4:30am so you are the first in the park and have the best chance of seeing the Leopard. Interesting design of the building

Verified reviewVery nice, spacious room, very clean. Nice pool and good food. Safari arranged by hotel was very good, good guide.
I personally would have preferred a shower curtain + the fitting that holds the shower head was loose. Everything else was perfect.

Verified reviewBeautiful hotel with a good pool and restaurant. Food very good and service is friendly. We came back from our safari midday but were allowed to use the room for shower long after we should have checked out. Thank you
A bit quiet. Need some music to cheer up the place. Once the building work is finished upstairs, the place will be amazing. Already is where it’s completed

Verified reviewWhat a hidden gem in Tissa! The cleanest most comfortable accommodation we have had in Sri Lanka, the food in the restaurant was high quality and delicious, especially the Sri Lankan food! The pool and gardens are beautiful. The hotel organised a great safari for us and packed us breakfast to go. If you are staying in Tissa - you must stay here, highly recommend, 10 stars!
We liked everything! 👌
