How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewShort walk from the beach, friendly staff and good pool to use. The WiFi was dodgy but the manager sorted it out straight away - very helpful

Verified reviewThe staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly and happy to help. Our room was clean and comfortable. The hotel and pool are kept very clean and tidy. A 10/15 minute walk to the beach. The staff allowed us to continue using the facilities after our check out time, due to our flight being later in the evening. They were very accommodating. Would highly recommend.
Nothing, we had a great stay :)

Verified reviewThe staff were really friendly and helpful. I can see where the property gets its name from because as soon as you enter the property, it is very quiet and serene. I originally booked a basic room but ended up switching to a room that had AC and a fridge. It didn’t have a kettle but I just went down to the kitchen every morning to use the one down there. It is about a 10-15 minute walk through a village to get to the center and the beach. There are a couple of shops close by where you can buy water and fruit and veg stalls very close by

Verified reviewWe loved the one bedroom apartment for our family. One of our best stays in Sri Lanka. The pool was lovely, everything was very clean and the staff were fabulous and helpful. It’s a short walk to the main road to the beach, train station, bus station. It was nice to be off the busy main road. The street is full of local shops and food and fruit stands. Laundry service was very affordable and quick, most affordable in our 3 months in sri lanka).
Loved everything

Verified reviewThe Manager Uncle and other staff were super friendly and made us feel like home. The location is super convenient, walking distance to Hikkaduwa town, bus stand and important beach spots. Very very reasonable and affordable pricing. The manager uncle was always ready to help us. Calm and quiet place, spacious varandahs, pool side and balconies to relax. Splendid experience. Highly recommending the place. Stayed 3 days and wish we could have stayed more there. ❤❤❤
Literally nothing.

Verified reviewIt's an economy accommodation for sure, but the pool area with comfortable chairs, perfect shade and a do-as-you-please attitude (as long as you don`t inconvenience other guests) made it for us. We had a very enjoyable time there.
The promised balcony wasnt really a balcony, but since we used the pool area instead we didnt miss it. Some installations are in need of an update.

Verified reviewCheap place with a basic gym and a swimming pool. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had many ants in my room and in the bed but I got a new room within couple of minutes where there was no issue with ants anymore.
The room has many windows around and the curtains are not thick enough. it doesn’t really block out the light from the common areas. Also you can hear everything from the outside or common areas. The walls are very thin so if that’s an issue for you you won’t be able to sleep. The second night there was music from the neighbors almost till 1am and it woke me up couple of times.

We booked an a/c room and they have also charged for an a/ c room.but a/ c was not working at all.Informed them quite a few times.still no option provided.but full charge was taken despite providing a/c.quite abusurd and unfair. Too much of ants inside the room making really difficult to keep any kind of food for a while.
