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.

BangladeshI had an amazing time at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect—right by the beach, which made it so easy to enjoy the sea, stunning sunsets, and relaxing walks along the shore. Waking up to the sound of the waves was truly unforgettable. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. They really made me feel at home. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a beautiful view that made the stay even more special. The food at the hotel was excellent, with plenty of fresh options to choose from. Having breakfast while overlooking the beach was a real highlight. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with the perfect beachside location, this is the place to be. I would highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay here again on my next visit.
I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, who were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was cozy, the bathroom was clean and well-maintained, and everything felt fresh and well taken care of. Housekeeping did a fantastic job every day. One of the highlights was the food—delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal was enjoyable. The restaurant staff were also very attentive, making the dining experience even better. The hotel’s location is perfect, close to [beach/market/tourist spots—adjust as needed], making it convenient to explore the area. On top of that, the property itself is quiet and peaceful, allowing for a truly relaxing atmosphere. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area, whether for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be coming back!

United KingdomLocation a bit out of the way, but with a scooter we had no issues.
For an incredible price we had a clean room with a hot shower. The owner sourced us a scooter for only 1500lkr/day. Did not need AC while we were there, and the fan was suitable. Put a mosquito repelling device in the wall, which worked a treat! Tip for food- try the roti place on the left when you reach the main street.

FinlandIt's exactly what you pay for: the room was quite small, a little damp due to the rains and it didn't give me the crispy clean feeling.
It was good value for the money. The lady was helpful. The location is a little off the roads but it was quiet and there were great restaurants nearby.
