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 reviewLovely colonial vibe, securely tucked away at the end of a lane in the northern end of Hikkaduwa. .It's walking distance to a beach, and nearby shops on the other side of the railway line, yet very quiet. The room and bathroom were very clean. The bed didn't have a top sheet, but I was given one once I asked. There is a small shared kitchen that you can use to make coffee or even cook and a fridge in the family's living area that can be used to store your things. The host Iresh is always there to answer any questions or help with any other inquiry you might have, yet unobtrusive. Overall good value for money.
The room lacks storage. Only a bed, nightstand and table. There is nowhere to put your bags or hang up your clothes. A few hooks or a clothes rack would be great. The bathroom window can not be opened, so it lacks ventilation and always feels a bit humid. There is an air conditioner in the room, however if you want to use it you will have to pay extra. The room can get a bit stuffy and musty once you close the shutters and only use the fan. Fly screens on the windows would be great to keep out the mozzies and give some fresh air. You will not have any private space outside. There is a sitting area in the middle for all guests to use. However, only 2 chairs between 3 rooms.
Thanks for staying with us.

Verified reviewBeautiful colonial architecture. Owner Iresh is very helpful and gave lots of suggestions for places to visit both in the local area and elsewhere in Sri Lanka. His English is very good. Room has hot water, a ceiling fan, air conditioning and a desk. It's spotlessly clean and the bed is very comfortable. The towel was new and fluffy. The best place I have stayed in Sri Lanka so far. Quiet neighbourhood.

Verified reviewVery friendly, helpful family who provided lots of information on what one could do in the area. I asked to rent a bike and that was organized quickly with a neighbour. Only takes a 10-minute walk into town, and beaches were also within easy reach. A beautiful peaceful setting, could not wish for better
