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.).

United KingdomSlightly under equipped- probably less sunbeds than apartments! Having full rolls of toilet roll might have been nice on arrival! Only 2 towels in the master bed room en suite.
Great location with the beach just in front. Spacious and comfortable accommodation. Fantastic beach and plenty of cafes etc

AustraliaNothing to dislike. Be aware it's in a quiet location, there were a couple of restaurants in walking distance but they appeared to be enjoying the downtime so we didn't disturb them.
This condo was situated in the southern tower of 5 blocks along the beach. We stayed during off-season, so it was very quiet. We didn't use the restaurant, so can't review that. Book in was easy, this is a no service condo but the place was well equipped for self sufficiently. We use the kitchen and there was adequate facilities. Comfortable bed, lovely balcony and heaps of air cons to cool the place quickly.

United KingdomLocation. The complex felt soulless, reminded me of a housing estate with a sea view. Nilaveli is dead, there's nothing to do or see, small selection of average beach bars and restaurants but not much else. We spent everyday in Uppaveli which has character, a great vibe and way more to do. It's easy to tuk tuk from the apartment but next time I would stay in Uppaveli.
The apartment was lovely, good air con, hot water & strong wi fi. Great view from balcony.

NetherlandsVery bad restaurant. Only 6 tabled and although we were the second to order, we had to wait for 1,5 hours to get just 1 meal (cold fries and nuggets ) and another 30 minutes to get the rest. In two hours we had 1 drink. Everybody complaining. 4 staff in restaurant but they seem to have no idea what they were doing. Hotel manager just ignored the situation and was hiding in small office. Very reluctant in his reaction and took sero responsibility
Appartement was good and clean

United Arab EmiratesYou have to order breakfast on the menu the day before The place wasn’t dirty as such but things like the walls and cushions were a bit dirty. The linen and towels were clean.
The location was next to a centre where you can arrange snorkelling to see sea turtles. There were a few restaurants nearby. The property is right on the seafront. It was mentioned bikinis weren’t allowed which isn’t quite the case, no skimpy western style are allowed but two pieces are fine. I’m not sure if this is a Sri Lankan thing but the area is in a fairly Muslim area so perhaps that is why. I was having issue with WiFi and they came to help me fairly quickly

Sri LankaThe air conditioning in one of the rooms wasn't working. We contacted maintenance who said it cannot be repaired immediately and that the owners had been informed. We were not informed of this before our stay or we would've chosen a different place. The fridge also had quite a bad odour. We also had to ask for new toilet tissue rolls as they had left used ones in the apartment.
We arrived quite late and the staff were very accommodating and ready to welcome us. The apartment has a view of the Nilaveli beach and a cute balcony. The beach outside is beautiful and suitable for swimming. There's also a shared pool. There are 3 bedrooms in the apartment and two toilets (one in the master bedroom and one outside). We didn't have any meals here, however, if you wish there is a restaurant in the next apartment complex to order meals, I would suggest ordering at least an hour in advance. There are plenty of restaurants around Nilaveli and Trincomalee town if you have a vehicle.
