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 has actually a living space infront but the room itself is a bit congested. The owner was very helpful. We enjoyed our pool time as well.
The bathroom fixtures need to be renovated. The ceiling fan was not working.

Verified reviewWe are Paola and Silvano from Italy, travelling through Sri Lanka by bicycle. We spent one night at Litlle Paradise. The room was clean and confortable but the bathroom hasn't hot water. The hosts were friendly and cooked us a good breakfast for a good price. There's also the pool, but we didn't use it because we stayed only for a short time. Nearby there's a a good restaurant (Esprit Bentota).

Verified reviewGood pool
No TV, not regular Wifi. Lost connection many times. No accomodative nature and no room service, no help for dinner, no facilities nothing. You should book good hotel at Bentota rather than going for cheaper options. Not so good location. And the hospitality is very bad. No nature of help given to guests.

Verified reviewI found a real gem in Bentota. The description on booking.com is correct. The upstairs room has a small lounge and a separate bedroom with poster bed and A/C as well as a fan. One could see the nearby beach and hear the sound of the waves. There was the option of a continental breakfast also with omelette or a Sri Lankan breakfast. The sparkling pool managed to keep me away from the beach most of the times. An additional benefit was that the Lucullus Garden Restaurant (seafood and western) was basically less than 100 metres away, and that kept me away from the competition.. I originally booked Little Paradise for 1 night but then I added another booking for a total of 10 nights and I was not disappointed
no complaints
Thank You so much sir being Little paradise family.

Verified reviewIt is located near the beach area...
The staff didn't check me in first. He came late at night to do the paperwork. And he was unable to settle the amount as well. I think it requires a little more maintenance
