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 reviewWonderful stay at DreamTime! Beautiful property with a large pool and peaceful surroundings. Our room was spacious with an amazing outdoor shower. Quiet and slightly secluded, yet still close to the center. The related Amaroo beach restaurant is highly recommended with fantastic food. Friendly staff made our stay extra special and memorable!

Verified reviewThe place itself makes you feel like living in a jungle so some insects and mosquitos are very likely to be expected. The room itself is quite big, bathroom itself has an open shower so it gives an experience like showering in the wild. We also had a room with a private swimming pool but in the territory there is another swimming which is bigger. I would say it's very instagram pictures hotel where you can also take a lot of nice pictures.
Breakfast weren't as good as other places in Sri Lanka.

Verified reviewNature and staff were exceptional
There should a be a 1 foot boundary from plants around the room and walk ways, and plants shouldn’t come into the shower basin area, need more food options in the menu, and have better breakfast options

Verified reviewSeems really the best location for staying in Hikkaduwa. Best beach 3min walk. DreamTime is total relaxation. No noise or light pollution only nature. Railway is near but not so close that it would affect sleeping.

Verified reviewNice place, quite, nice staff, nice curry restaurant nearby for diner
Small bed and cold shower
Hello, Glad you enjoyed our place. The room you booked as a queen bed as indicated in the room type. We do have rooms with king bed but they were sold out for your dates. The water should be hot in the room as we have a solar hot water, if you let the staff know they would have switched to more manual after the storm. Apologies for that. Thanks again for staying, Dreamtime team

Verified reviewBest breakfast we had in Sri Lanka. Very nice room and loved the bathroom. Nearby the beach. Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends. Another tip: there is a mangrove lagoon nearby, take a tour there on a manpowered catamaran!
Their tuktuk / taxi prices are relatively higher, but can sometimes be convenient.

Verified reviewWe chose the King room, and I have to say, it was amazing. First of all, the shower. We picked it especially for a photoshoot, and it was exactly as good as we'd hoped. Additionally, the whole place was made to look like a jungle, so it felt as though we were sleeping in the only building in some wilderness.
Nothing comes to mind, whatsoever
