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 KingdomDisappointed as the description on Booking. Com didn't really match reality. No kettle, hair dryer or microwave, etc in the room as in the listing. Communal kitchen is a better description. We had to ask for clean sheets and towels. It was adequate but not up to the expectation for the price we paid for nearly 2 weeks. WiFi wasn't any good at all. Better to buy a local sim
It's on a good position not far from the beach, buses and restaurants etc

FinlandI’m really surprised that I did not like the place. I guess I was not expecting that there would not be anyone around in the evening/night time. I stayed for two days - and the internet only worked for two hours during that time. As a solo traveller, these two things made me feel, well not unsafe, but uncomfortable. Compared to the other hotels I stayed in while being in Sri Lanka, this was the most expensive one.
The building itself seemed nice, and the garden too. The breakfast was delicious.

United KingdomSpotlessly clean and spacious rooms. Lovely quiet location. Great for bird watching in the day and fireflies at night but still only 5 minutes walk to the beach. Lovely, friendly staff who really do go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Only cold water shower but it wasn’t an issue for us as it was a perfect cool down from the heat. Will definitely come back!

United KingdomUnfortunately we had no hot water during our 16 night stay despite notifying Neil of the problem. He advised that the water is heated by solar panel but the temperature outside was over 30 every day and still cold/tepid water. A boiler upgrade is definitely needed. We had no toilet roll when we arrived and when mentioned to Neil I was handed one. We ended up buying our own for the duration of the holiday. You have to request clean towels and bedding as they are only changed once a week if not. Once requested Neil kindly obliged so was not an issue if you made him aware. The rooms are swept a couple of times a week but the bathroom was not cleaned at all during our stay! WIFI is very intermittent and you could not rely on it. It only worked well if you were sitting in the dining area of the garden and next to the router. Neil had to keep resetting it. A few minor adjustments, i.e. addressing the hot water and WIFI issues, ensuring toilet rolls are available in the room, cleaning the rooms on a more frequent basis and changing towels and bedding regularly could make this one of the best Villas in Hikkaduwa as it has many positive aspects.
Great location very close to the beach, shops and restaurants in Hikkaduwa. The rooms and bathroom were large and airy with good air conditioning and fan. Comfortable beds. We had the whole top floor of the Villa which had fantastic views and space to sit on the terrace, Delicious breakfast always freshly cooked each morning with herbs picked from the garden. Beautiful garden. The host, Neil, collected us from the airport on time and his family were waiting to greet us with tea and cake when we arrived and beautiful flowers as a welcoming gift. Neil is very friendly and accommodating. He speaks very good English and is always on hand to help if you need assistance. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he assisted us with our scooters and Sir Lankan SIM cards when we encountered problems.

BrazilI don't recommend it to people who work while traveling. The internet was limited. We were in the middle of a zoom meeting and the data ran out. Then she said that the internet was only for WhatsApp and social media. We had to pay extra to have internet to work
We stayed in a room with a garden in front which was great. Waking up to the sound of so many birds was very special
