Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

FranceNothing! Everything was perfect.
An unforgettable stay — everything was perfect! We had the most extraordinary stay thanks to the exceptional care and kindness of our hosts, Gaya and Chira. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and their attention to detail made our experience truly unforgettable. The property itself is simply breathtaking — nestled in the jungle, with a lush, mesmerizing garden that feels like a little piece of paradise. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully appointed, with everything we could possibly need to feel comfortable and at home. One of the highlights was the dinner prepared by Gaya — it was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and made with so much love. We enjoyed every bite and felt so spoiled. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, surrounded by nature and cared for by the kindest hosts, this is the perfect place to recharge and unwind in a stunning setting. Thank you so much, Gaya and Chira, for your warmth, generosity, and for creating such a magical haven. You made the end of our vacation truly special, and we will cherish these memories for a long time. We hope to come back one day!

Chira and Gaya are such a lovely couple and the really went out of their way to make the stay so special. They even made us a packed breakfast when we checked out early on the last day. The rooms were huge and spacious, very bright and the bed was very comfortable. The pool was very clean and refreshing. Very peaceful place away from the busy roads and beaches.

The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was excellent there was always delicious fresh fruit and eggs cooked to order as well as toast and a different tasty treat every day. The location was good it was a short walk to the nearest beach and restaurants. Tuk tuks were very easy to find if we didn’t fancy the walk and the host Chira has a tuk tuk and gave us several lifts for a small charge. The service and hospitality were excellent. The situation in the jungle was amazing, there was much to see and hear from the wildlife living there.

RussiaEverything was beyond any expectations. Chira and Gaya are the most hospitable hosts ever. They are very attentive to every need of their guests. The villa is located on a hill in a quiet area with a view over a jungle. Without even leaving the premises you can enjoy the wildlife - parrots, chipmunks, monkeys, varans etc. The nearest beach is 10 min walk. Unawatuna beach is easily reached by tuktuk. Breakfast is really good. We stayed for 9 days and every day Chira and Gaya tried to regale us with something new. Everything is very clean, rooms are spacious. Highly recommended!!!

The place is perfect if you are looking for a quiet and natural place. The pool is a real plus even if I did not use it. Tips, Better to rent a bike if you want to visit the area beyond unawatuna.

United KingdomSome of the reasoning for marking the property lower: 1) Steep climb to reach villa so need to be sturdy on your feet as can slipperary in wet weather. 2) The chant of the monks can wake you up very early in the morning (4.30 am), so depending on your perspective this is both a positive/negative. 3)The property next door can be noisy with music. 4) Constant requests for pictures so they can refresh media (got rather frustrating)
We were welcomed with open arms and smiles by a beautiful couple. Our room was located on the top floor with amazing views to the front of the infinity pool and surrounding jungle, so you can watch the monkeys, birds and insects. The breakfast was amazing and beautifully presented with flowers, alot of attention to detail, in respect of crockery and design. The room had x1 large kingsize bed and a single, fridge and tea/coffee making facilities, safe and hairdryer but lacked electrical sockets and mood lightening (a small reading lamp or similar). Trips can be organised, as well as tuk tuk ride (at additional cost). .

The hosts were the most wonderful people we have met. They couldn’t do enough to help us and immediately made us feel at home. The location was so lovely! It’s a little out of Uluwatuna but easily accessible by tuk tuk, but it’s in the jungle where you can wake up to monkeys and peacocks roaming around. It’s so peaceful away from the busy road.
