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):
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.
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.).

It is a fine hotel and well located close to the beach and restaurants. Staff is friendly. The bed and chairs in the room are very comfortable and it was nice to have a small desk in the room

United KingdomNoise levels if you're an early sleeper and early riser. Very loud even with earplugs. Should be great for night life lovers though! The beds were a little thin and creaky.
Sura (the owner) and the team here are incredible! So friendly, welcoming, and super helpful with suggestions on transport and food places. There is also a little puppy as part of the team , so you enjoy spending time with her too! 😍 The room was spacious and very clean! They provide plug-in mosquito repellent too, which is great! Great hanging options for clothes and towels around the room. Also, there is an area on the roof to dry clothes! There is a spa attached to the hotel, so there's lovely calming music to create a great atmosphere! Amazing food places so close, so you can try a new place every day! There's a mix of local and posh western food. The location is amazing! Right on the beach. (This can be an issue on weekends though, if you aren't into night life, as it can get really loud until quite late, even with earplugs in).

DenmarkThe property is not beachfront, as mentioned in booking.com. The beach is however very close. Keep that in mind. The non A/C rooms are extremely hot. I could barely sleep in mine. Please take a room with A/C because it’s a sauna in the dry season There are a lot of ants and insects coming into the room. I got a bit a few times throughout the night
It’s well located and the rooms are reasonably spacious. The receptionist offered me lunch when I arrived and seemed like a nice guy

Fabulous location, extremely helpful hosts, really clean rooms. When we stayed we were the only guests, over the new year, but they were getting ready for the upcoming season. Nothing was too much trouble, and although there wasn't a kettle or fridge, they were happy to make me a cup of tea when I wanted one. They have big plans and I think that with their determination and talent they will have one of the best accommodation places in the area...

United KingdomThe property was a bit dated and not particularly clean. But for the price can be expected. What I didn’t like is the receptionist lied to us and said buses were not running (on a Sunday) to try and get us to take a tuk tuk that they owned. After 5 minutes of waiting a bus arrived…
The location was very good for tourist area of Uppuveli. Very close to the beach and fernandos bar. Very cheap price for area and location.

ItalyThe room on booking was advertised with "sea view" but it was not, it had only a small window on the adjacent house... The bathroom well, was not really ok, the shower was right above the toilet, so every time you took a shower you wet the entire toilet and floor, the bathroom door was like one of those you take from a construction site with still the sticker of the advertisent on and it didn't close... The shower also was only one temperature, freaking hot in the day and just a bit warm at night, and there was 4/5 watern knobs but not even one for cold water. Also, we had a Coca Cola bottle right next to the sink with some blue liquid inside probably left from someone before or from the cleaning crew, we still don't now what was inside. You can see it in the photo. Only reccommended for a short stay.
Really close to the sea, location is a plus, room is clean and staff is really helpful. The air conditioning system was functioning properly and is a must in this area if you don't want to sweat even at night.

PhilippinesI had such a wonderful stay here. I originally planned to stay for 3 nights but ended up extending for another night — and I will definitely stay here again when I return to Trincomalee. The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and even with just the fan on, it felt cold and refreshing. The water pressure was strong, which I really appreciated after long days out. I was also super satisfied with the lighting — the room was really bright, which I loved, especially compared to other places I’ve stayed at. The location is fantastic — just a 2-minute walk to the beach, which is the perfect spot to chill, and there are lots of restaurants nearby. On top of that, I had the best massage at the spa upstairs! What truly made my stay memorable was the amazing staff. Everyone was so nice and accommodating, always making sure I was comfortable. They often offered me free tea, and I even got a free dinner on my last night! Sura, the owner, was super friendly — I never felt alone because he would always take the time to chat and share great recommendations. I especially loved the sunset spot he told me about! I can’t wait to come back, not just to visit Trincomalee again, but because of the wonderful experience I had here. Highly recommend!

Lovely guest house! The owners are incredibly helpful and kind - organising activities, Tuktuk’s and recommending what beaches to visit. One of us was sick while we stayed and they helped organise a Tuktuk and what dr to visit. Location was perfect! Right opposite the beach (30 second walk). The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and the aircon works well. I stayed on as a solo female traveller and safety wise I would 100% recommend. Hopefully I can visit again one day ☺️.
