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.).

We liked all, to be honest. Regina and her staff are so kind, helpful and friendly. The room was big and clean, well working air conditioning and no mosquitos at all !! The meals we ordered there were fabulous and every time fresh prepared. The beach is like 100mt away from the bungalow, and it is just a wonderful beach, almost private (you can maybe meet 10 people per day or less). The garden around the accommodation is so well maintained and full of trees and flowers. You can relax on the beach under the private cabana or at the garden on the hammocks. Is true that there is a cemetery close to the property, but it is nothing that bothers you at all. They also have a night guard at the gate. We can absolutely 💯 recommend this place if you are visiting Trinco and want to relax in a peaceful place, avoiding the crowds.

TurkeyOur only issue was that the property accepts only cash. Unfortunately, our bank cards didn’t work and it was difficult to access cash, as credit cards were not accepted.
A warm and pleasant welcome. The rooms, set within a beautiful private garden, were spotless and very comfortable. Waking up in the morning to nothing but birdsong made the stay feel truly special, a perfect retreat in nature. The staff were friendly, always smiling, and spoke good English. Other than that, the hotel has a wonderful private beach right in front of it. The city center is just 10 minutes away by tuk-tuk. If you are looking for a quiet, clean place surrounded by nature, this is the right choice.

Germany5 stars – A Hidden Gem with Amazing Service and Food We had a fantastic stay at Regina Beach Bungalow! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. The place has a relaxed, authentic charm and is located right by the beach – perfect for unwinding. What truly made our stay special was the exceptional service. The owner is incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares about his guests. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and shared great tips about the area. The food was absolutely outstanding – probably the best we had in Sri Lanka! Everything was freshly prepared, full of flavor, and made with love. We looked forward to every meal. If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with personal hospitality, great vibes, and top-notch food, we highly recommend Regina Beach Bungalow. We would definitely come back!

AustraliaThis was our favourite accommodation after a month travelling through the beautiful country of Sri Lanka. There is everything to love about this property, plus more. The grounds are incredibly beautiful and so well maintained. Our room was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The staff were so kind and very attentive, always taking the time to chat to our toddler. The private section of beach is a 2 minute walk out the front of the property and is pristine with clear blue water and soft white sand, absolute heaven. The main street is a 10 minute drive away and can be reached by tuk tuk. The tranquil location of the property is definitely worth the short drive to and from. If you find yourself in Trincomalee, do yourself a favour and spend some time at Regina Beach Bungalow, you won't regret it. Thank you for having us and sharing your amazing Sri Lankan hospitality ☀️

SpainWe liked everything about this accommodation. It is in a paradisiacal area, the staff is very attentive and helpful. The food is incredible, I recommend that you eat at the accommodation because you can enjoy the typical food. They also help you book activities with local people. The beach is magnificent, in addition the dogs there are very friendly, especially Juli is a very special dog that you can see on the beach and if you are there you can feed her and she is very grateful :) My whole stay was excellent!

United KingdomNothing. It met my needs, was well managed and the team go out of their way to make the stay as comfortable as possible.
Set about 130m from the beach, this was exactly what I was looking as part of my short stay in Trincomalee. It's a short tuk-tuk ride into central Trincomalee, should you wish to visit the main town and local areas. The Regina has number of cabana's around the edge of a wonderful, well kept and established garden. A very short walk to the beach, which was stunning, and being low season was quiet. I probably saw more cows than people during a 3km beach walk. I chose breakfast as part of my booking and it was wonderful, setting me up for the day. Just sitting on the veranda and watching the local wildlife in the morning was incredible, and the palm squirrels are great entertainment for a piece of papaya. My room was spotless, the bathroom big and the shower perfect and the fridge/mini bar was well received. The Regina offers a great menu and I chose to have both lunch and dinner here each day. Puvan was a great host, and the supporting team wonderfully polite and helpful. They have a number of covered beach beds as well, alternatively chill in the garden on a sun bed or even a hammock. A wonderful stay, I am happy to recommend the REGINA BEACH resort based on my own personal experience.

PolandThe price of food is definitely too high. We would have taken more meals if the cost was only slightly higher than in town. However paying 2.5 times more for the same dish is ridiculous. I hope the owner rethinks his strategy.
Super clean, genuine, beautifully maintained garden, right by a beautiful, deserted beach, staff that speaks good English.
