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 reviewThe room was clean, comfortable, and safe, complete with all relevant amenities. The hosts were very professional. The breakfast was delicious - I loved the fresh avocado juice! The property is located close to the Hikkaduwa beach and many restaurants. I would definitely recommend this stay!

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location was also perfect - very close to Hikkaduwa Beach and Narigama Beach (everything was walking distance). The breakfast was okay - don’t expect anything amazing as it’s very plain but wasn’t the worst breakfast we tried in Sri Lanka. However, we are not sure why the place has such high ratings. The sheets didn’t smell clean, the bathroom had a weird smell (vomit), and we had two cockroaches in our room which just topped it off. We stayed in 8 locations before this one, of various standard, and never had an issue with the above. It is also advertised that there’s a flat-screen TV, which is true, but was not plugged in and set up, not sure if it even worked. The bedside lamps also didn’t work. I hope that the place takes these points into consideration to improve customer satisfaction. Thank you!

Verified reviewWater pressure was good, no blackouts, the owner is always near, they can easily cook you whatever you bring to them, as they have a kitchen on the first floor, the AC worked great, overall good experience, I would suggest it over the hotel. The breakfast is basic

Verified reviewVery clean property. Shoes taken off at vestibule so no outdoor dirt brought in. Breakfast was amazing,served on patio outside. Staff were very friendly and polite.
It’s not that I didn’t like the noise of the trains but occasionally a freight train would go by at night and was very loud but, honestly, you hardly notice them after a few going past.

Verified reviewGood location. Easy to walk to the beach. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. The staff were really helpful. Nice balcony overlooking the tracks. The trains aren't very frequent so noise didn't bother us. We got breakfast included. It was nice and light compared to some others we had on the trip (few bits of toasts and eggs). Bed was comfy and room spacious.
The only thing was the air con wasnt very powerful but it did work
