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 reviewAlthough a bit worn out, the rooms and bathrooms are very nice and spacious with good airco. The surrounding garden is beautiful and very well maintained, with a pleasant swimming pool. Good breakfast buffet with choice of Sri Lankan and continental options. Although the room is not very attractive, the restaurant serves very good food, some of the best we had during our stay in Sri Lanka!
From 4pm to 22pm there's loud music at the terrace by the swimming pool that can be heard at the entire property. They try to create a beach party ambiance, but there's not really an audience for it. Anyway, it made us not stay for the barbecue they offer.
Thanks for your comment for us

Verified reviewThe swimming pool was quite large and enjoyable. Trincomalee beach is great.
Clearly a place that could have been amazing, if maintenance was done, and true commitment was there. The rooms were outdated, not the cleanest, and bedsheets were not clean. The true nature of the place was shown within 5min: ‘if you cancel your booking.com reservation, you get a discount’: clearly focusing on making money vs. Serving customer.

Verified reviewThe location was very convenient, and breakfast was great. Rooms were clean and spacious. Very helpful staff. We stayed for one night on our way through Trinco.
The exterior hasn't been maintained, and the black water ponds at the entrance to the rooms can put you off. But inside, everything is clean. And we had to pay for water when our bottle in the room was over.

Verified reviewHotel is near uppavili beach. The food from the restaurant is very good. Highly recommend recommend the kottu roti and the curries.
The rooms are really tired and could really use a update. The staff didn't stock the room with toiletries or towels. The rooms are also quite small. Overall needs a lot more maintenance and upkeep.

Verified reviewOnly the food.
Bathrooms are awful. No TP, no other amenities. Had to ask. At one point shower floor got flooded. Hate when bathroom floor is wet other than inside the shower. Painting on the walls were coming off. Not clean. If you a budget traveler this is the place. I am not a budget traveler, but I was unable to book 8 rooms for almost 20 people in one place. This one had good reviews, so I went for it. I am really not sure what other people saw in this place. This place is not for me. If the hotel can upgrade the bathroom, paint walls and completely clean the floors and water ponds around the rooms, it could be a nice place. One good thing about is, staff was accommodating.

Dear Guest We are truly disappointed to read your review, especially given the circumstances surrounding your departure. Upon check-out, you attempted to negotiate a reduction in the agreed payment after your stay, which we could not permit as per our hotel policies and your confirmed Booking.com reservation. It was only after this was declined that you expressed dissatisfaction, which raises questions about the intention behind this review. Our rooms are inspected thoroughly before check-in, and no such issues were raised during your stay, nor was any complaint reported to our staff at the time – which would have been immediately addressed. We maintain high standards of cleanliness and upkeep, and reviews from countless other satisfied guests support this. We always welcome constructive feedback, but we will not accept false claims used as leverage after a stay. Thank you. Team Hotel Green Garden Trincomalee

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also very good. There was a wide selection of food. The room was nice and spacious, too.
The location is probably a bit far from the beach, but it was easy to get there. Also, the room was a bit dusty and needed cleaning..

Verified reviewThe counter staff were very helpful as were the ground and bar staff. The pool area and manicured gardens are spectacular. Breakfast was limited for the asking price.
Breakfast was very limited and could be improved with some on the spot cooking (eggs) not barley warm.
