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 reviewWe liked how friendly the staff was. They let our kids play with their pet turtles and bunny. The rooms on the third floor where we stayed were spacious and clean.
We did inquire about doing laundry and they were not able to accommodate our request. The Sri Lankan breakfast of roti and dahl (upon request) was delicious and slightly more filling that the western breakfast of toast and egg.

Verified reviewBig stylish room and balcony Very good breakfast Very attentive personal: they checked us in an hour earlier without any problems and were always ready to help Cleaning! It was the only one from several our hotels where the room was cleaned during the living. Very pleasant.
The main thing that I do not like is reconstruction works during all our living. That was very disappointing and irritating. Firstly it was on the first floor (we lived on the 3rd) and we saw the dust from cutting tiles under our balcony. Then it was held in the room above us (till 9 pm) and finally in the next room. I wish the hotel would not accommodate guests during the rooms renovation. However, future guests will be living in newly renovated rooms which is good

Verified reviewLovely place and staff. Huge room on the ground floor overlooking the garden, with large bathroom containing a washing machine (handy!) Also had a kitchenette with fridge and microwave, kettle, etc. Perfect!
Really enjoyed the place. A short walk to the beach, which was absolutely fine, but others may prefer to be overlooking the sea. Not a problem for us as it meant that it was away from all the street noise and traffic, etc.

Verified reviewThe room was big, the AC was working very well and there was a refrigerator in the room also. The wifi connectivity can be better though. The owner is very good and extremely cooperative. He had arranged a taxi for the airport pickup for a reasonable price. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
The wifi connectivity can be better.

Verified reviewGood location away from the noise of the town and train. Walking distance to get to the high st for supper etc. Nice staff.
It’s fine for a night but we wouldn’t have stayed longer. The room had a strange smell. Carpet on the floor was dirty. Shower leaked all over the bathroom. Balcony doors didn’t open. Not great value all things considered but maybe that’s because it’s Hikkaduwa which I thought was overrated.

Verified reviewBreakfast was just as expected. Fruit smoothie, toast, coffee and scrambled/fried or omelette. Perfectly acceptable. Staff REALLY friendly and helpful Room of good size with fridge; excellent shower.
Initially the lock to our sliding door on ground floor room wouldn't work but it was fixed within 24 hrs. The bedding was changed regularly but there was some staining. Had to ask for a safe. Cash only - which to be fair is detailed at the bottom of the Booking.com listing but I missed it, and should be available in this day and age
