Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The room was spacious with a nice big balcony. The property was well kept and less than a minute to the beach, which you could see from the balcony. Lots of birds and animals in the trees. The beach is amazing with the jungle pouring into the beach- a beautiful lagoon and soft surf to play in. The family also have a nice restaurant bar just on the beach. The family were so so friendly and they looked after us very well, making us feel very special. Thank you.

United KingdomEverything was perfect. A little kitchen and fridge would have made things easier but without it, they helped us anyway.
The location is 50m from the beautiful Mawella Beach. Our hosts Sana and Dilka went the extra mile to help our group of 6 with everything we asked for including scooter and snorkel hire, local information, and transport. They have a beautiful beach bar with excellent food and cocktails.

NetherlandsThe location can't be better: just a couple meters away from the lovely beach! We, family with two young kids, had a very pleasant stay here. The family room is basic but has everything you need to feel comfortable: good beds, mosquito nets, good aircon, good bathroom with warm shower, a desk and a cupboard, our 4 year old loved the hammoc out on the balcony and almost didn't want to come out of it. The owner kindly let us use his body board for an afternoon. Great place, thanks very much!

Easy access to the beach with free sunbeds Room is spacious and clean. Despite partially open-air the bathroom is clean and a tight net prevent animals from entering the bathroom. Nice place just around the corner to have breakfast starting from 7am

United StatesKeep in mind this property is secluded and away from the main tourist areas. It was perfect for us but it may not be for everyone.
We booked the four rooms for our three families for a week and had the most relaxing vacation on beautiful Mawella Beach. Sanna & family couldn’t be more hospitable. They will do all they can to make sure your stay is comfortable. If you’re looking for quiet and seclusion, this is it!

LithuaniaThe property is in a quite area and it’s perfect if you’re looking for a non-touristy place. Just a few steps from the beach where you will basically find no other tourists, which is great! The room is clean and spacious, it has an AC and there is a spacious bathroom. The owner is very hospitable and helpful. They also have a restaurant where you can have breakfast, dinner, drinks, etc. Ideal place for a peaceful stay.

United KingdomRooms could do with a kettle and cups in room. Property was a fair way off the main road so may feel isolated if you don't have transport. Otherwise it was almost perfect.
The beach house is less than 100 m from the beach, on the beach are a number of beach bar/restaurants. Some are very reasonable and some are on the expensive side. Beach is not steeply shelving so quite easy to get in for a swim or body board (available to borrow at relax beach house). Food at the beach house was reasonably priced and very good. Rooms are a good size and comfortably furnished. A nice relaxing property away from major development. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was good with a variety of options. Restaurant had a good atmosphere for both eating and drinking.

Czech RepublicEverything was perfect.
This place is a gem in the middle of paradise. Sanna and his family made our whole trip a lot better then we could have expected. Sanna is a great host and a professional who can handle every issue and situation. He also arranged our trip in this area, which was perfect. And the restaurant… His wife is cooking one of the best meals that we’ve ever had! And also for a reasonable price. Location is amazing, in very peaceful village with almost no tourists, beautiful beaches, welcoming locals and cute dogs. Rooms were very clean and comfy, with working AC, fast internet and spacious bathroom. They really did their best to make us feel like home. We definitely want to come back again soon and for longer! :)

United KingdomWoah, what a stand out property, in the most beautiful area. Sana,the host, could not be more hospitable, attentive and helpful. He was always on hand to give us tips for the local area and drop us off places with his tuk tuk. He also has a snorkelling company with his friend and knows the best places to see all the sea wildlife Tangalle has to offer. The food at the restaurant in the guest house is also phenomenal, as are the cocktails. And being a bit quieter but wide and long , Mawella beach is the perfect respite from busier beaches though has restaurants and amenities of its own should you want to explore - could not rate this place higher!
