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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

SpainEven though we didn’t get the room we expected for it ended up being a super nice and cozy stay. We actually got a bigger room and still got to use the nice terrace so it was just perfect.
Dinnesh and his wife were very welcoming from the very beginning. They arranged a rental scooter for us whicu was available 30min after our arrival. That was a must for us since the property is located about 1km from the main road and there is not much around. We were not given the room that was showj in the pictures as there was someone else renting it so we stayed in a different room (both room share one bathroom). However the other room got free the day after so we could use the terrace there which was amazing. We asked if we could use their washing machine and they accepted and charged for it at the end of our stay (price was more expensive than regular laundry places but it was very convenient). Kumudu prepared some delicious meals for us too at a fair price; everything was tasty and made with love. We very much liked staying there, we felt like home.

We stayed just one day but it was a great choice. Family who run this home stay is very kind and you get everything that you need to get a proper rest. Very comfortable bed and warm water in bathroom are good pros (not obvious in some properties we booked before)! Also we get Sri Lanka style breakfast, nice!

RussiaOne of the best places I've ever lived. A very quiet and peaceful place, a lot of greenery, birds singing. But close to beaches and shops, 10 minutes by tuk-tuk to Unawatuna. The hosts are very kind, cheerful and polite. You can arrange transfers to the beaches and Galle. Large room, always hot water, small shops nearby, delicious breakfast. Thanks for a great vacation! I would like to come back here again!

United StatesThere's nothing about my accommodations here for me not to like. Is Sri Lanka more expensive than India. Sure. But that's the state of affairs. I'm glad I've come and I look forward to another visit in the future.
I can most enthusiastically recommend any traveler to stay here. As I sit on the peaceful balcony listening to the various birds sing while gazing out upon the lush green forest I'm filled with such gratitude for having chosen Diwanka Villa for my stay in unawatuna. The family that owns and runs this charming little oasis are fantastic hosts. Always so kind and helpful. Momma of the house is available to cook you a wonderful meal at a most reasonable price while dinesh always with a big generous smile for his honored guests is ever ready with his tuk tuk to assist in whatever needs arranging. The home is kept spotlessly clean with constant loving attention from the mother. My stay here became extended after a bad scooter crash on the main road. Broken collar bone and significant wounds from the road rash. Dinesh and his wife kumudu have been beyond amazing assisting in my healing. Lovingly applying medication to my wounds. Constantly checking on my condition and offering uplifting encouragement when Im feeling so down. Truly if the accident had to happen, im so very lucky that I was living here at Diwanka instead of a hotel when it did. Any traveler would be fortunate to stay with this beautiful family for a few days during thier stay in unawatuna. The location is down a quiet road. A pleasant 15 minute walk amongst the vibrant lush green landscape to the beach nearby. In the other direction 25 minute walk to the magic of Yatagala temple. The blessings of Diwanka Villa and the love of this wonderful family have made what's been a difficult experience with my injuries, still feel like a Gift. Thank you!!!

FinlandLovely, helpful and truly caring family. Clean room and good breakfast. The way to the beach is not too long at all, its quiet country road, not too much traffic. Just out of tourist area and main road traffic noises. The hosts have their own Tuk Tuk, so its easy to get around.

GermanyMe and my friend were doing some remote work and we had problems with both the wifi and our sim card reception, so we had to go to the town to work. It was raining a lot so maybe the wifi was failing because of that. Because sometimes it was working ok. Other than that it was perfect. :)
The place is very quiet, very nice family. Very filling breakfast every day, they also have tuk tuk service. The house is very beautiful also.
