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 staff are amazing and go the extra mile. The very relaxed atmosphere and the super swimming pool. The bed was very comfortable for my back. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. Only a 2-minute walk to a wonderful beach with full use of beach chairs, umbrellas, and restaurants. Great value for a beach holiday.

Verified reviewGood location on a nice part of the beach.
The common area and the pool could be cleaner. The personnel and the general vibe of the place could be more professional and a little friendlier. We felt it was a bit overpriced.
Thank you

Verified reviewWe found that Trinco was quite busy so there was not much choice left… the hotel is in a good location and the pool is nice.
Rooms average with basic bathrooms and very noisy air conditioning. Staff pleasant but sometimes strange things happened like they kept taking or drying rack to give to other rooms! Hello we are still in our room… Ok if nothing else available in the price range but expensive for what the rooms are like.
Thank you .

Verified reviewThe Hotel did not look like the pictures which was a bit disconcerting just on arrival. We are so glad we stayed! We had really good sleeps, the place was incredibly clean, and the staff with a friendliest we had on our whole trip. They always went out of their way to say hello and to ask if we needed help with anything. And then there were a breakfast, lots of food, plenty of extra helpings and a really nice room to enjoy it in.
The only thing I didn’t like is it didn’t really look like the pictures
Thank you .we will modify it next year .i will hope you will be here next time. Welcome back 🙏

Verified reviewLocation to beach. Excellent hardworkig staff.
Was disappointed as restaurant wasn't open during the day. Even if there was just a vending machine to get a drink during the day we may have stayed on the premises to use the pool more.

Verified reviewThe property was clean and comfortable. We all loved the pool which was directly outside our room which was very convenient. But more than anything, the staff there were exceptionally friendly. We had breakfast there and we felt like it was a family treating us for a meal. They went out of their way to give us whatever we asked for. We were hoping to come back and stay at the same place but our trip got cut short. I will definitely come back to this same place anytime we visit Trinco.
Nothing at all!

Verified reviewThe staff were very welcoming and helpful. They went out of their way to help and accommodate us in many ways. The location was a short walk to the seaside. The breakfast we had was delicious. Overall, it was a delightful experience and worth the price we paid. If flights were cheaper we'd be here every year.
Thank you very much. We will hope to be. See you next year

Verified reviewThis is one of several small hotels along a track leading to the beach - however this would always be my choice due to the staff, the pool and the breakfast. The staff work so hard - long days but are always freindly - big shout out to Diso who was at the pool by 7am cleaning diligently and thanks to the manager who always showed our kids kindness at breakfast.
Payment in cash on arrival so please come prepared otherwise it will be a trio to the ATM.
Thank you very much for your review. We will hope see you next time .

Verified reviewRoom was nice and clean, comfortable beds, fan and airconditioning, service and hospitality is good. They helped with arrangements to go to the Girihandu Seya temple and they know good drivers to bring you to your next location. If you ask for a vault/ safe, they bring you one. Pool was clean, the water of the pool was hot in the afternoon because of the heating sun but it is nice to cool off at the beach nearby.
Thank you very much .see you again soon

Verified reviewMRD is a charming oasis away from the main road and only a five minute walk along a footpath to the beautiful beach where there is a choice of restaurants and bars. Our room was clean, well fitted out with a great shower and two huge double beds. Outside was a seating area overlooking the large swimming pool which had a separate shallow children’s area. The staff were all polite and helpful and the Sri Lankan breakfast was plentiful and delicious. You may even have to explain why you couldn’t eat it all! We had a great stay and would come here again. Just one small tip, the hotel only accepts cash and likes to be paid on arrival.
Thank you very much. Have a nice trip.
