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.).

Thanks a lot to the hotel owner. He did everything to make our stay comfortable. He answered any questions. He is a very cheerful and pleasant person. The hotel itself is small, but this is its advantage. The rooms are clean, well maintained and designer. The cleaning was done every two days, and the breakfasts were delicious. There are always water bottles, a safe, and a refrigerator in the room.

A Secluded Jungle Retreat with Soul and Atmosphere I stayed at Saffron Robes Living in Hikkaduwa and was absolutely delighted. The hotel is located away from the main beach, surrounded by lush jungle, which creates a unique sense of seclusion and connection with nature. In the mornings and evenings, you hear birds and forest sounds — it truly feels like you’re in a tropical retreat. The hotel is small and intimate, with only four rooms, designed in a stylish loft aesthetic — concrete walls, wooden elements, and stone floors. My room was decorated in all white, overlooking the garden. The bathroom featured a tropical rain shower partially open to the outside — a beautiful experience! I especially enjoyed the lounge area on the ground floor with comfortable sofas and a fish pond, as well as the cozy meditation zone with floor cushions and a view of the jungle. There’s no TV in the room, which is actually a plus — it allows you to disconnect and enjoy being alone with your thoughts. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful — always available, but never intrusive. Breakfast was great, with a choice between Sri Lankan and European styles — I tried both and they were delicious. I would love to come back. This place is a true hidden gem. Although officially a 2-star hotel, it feels more like a 5-star retreat.

Czech RepublicIt was really amazing stay. It looks like on pictures. I felt very well take care for. The hotel has just 4 rooms, gives you private vibes, very calm place, nice environment around (jungle vibes). Very close to the beach and "center" (5 mins), but thankfully outside of noisy busy life. Breakfast was good and everyday different (srilankan, but you can opt for classic english). Room was beautiful and spacious, all facilities worked well. Complimentary water after cleaning. Great matress and bedsheets, for me very suitable pillows. Special thanks to Theekshana for booking for me private yoga class and other things, as well as management of late check-out for me.

RussiaThe best place to stay in Hikkaduwa! The most friendly stuff I’ve ever met. Breakfasts are amazing, design is wonderful. Perfect stay! I had my birthday during the stay and they arranged a birthday cake, it was really nice. The manager/owner of the hotel was of great help, helped us to book tuk tuk, taxi, travel tour, transfer to the airport. Also there’s a gallery Saffron Robes, where we bought a couple of paintings. Very worthy of visiting

It was very unique and artistic and at the same time functional. U live like on extended art gallery installation. The stuff is very helping too. Many eating options and the beach is near, 5min walk.

The minimalist decor was lovely and so comfortable, the breakfast each morning was delish and such good value for money for the price we paid. Very good location and easy to get to Galle for the night if you didn’t want to stay there. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There is also a Saffron Robes gallery close by where you also get discount for staying at the hotel!

PolandEverything was perfectly executed, every detail was thoughtfully planned, and we have absolutely no complaints.
This was, without a doubt, our favorite place in all of Sri Lanka. Completely unique and exceptional, this spot stands out as a true artistic gem on the island. The interior is beautifully designed, with a creative and intriguing vibe that reflects a level of artistry rarely seen elsewhere. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making it a place of inspiration. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a refreshing coconut – a small but meaningful touch that set the tone for our entire stay. The room was filled with a delightful fragrance, and the meditation cushions provided a perfect touch for relaxation. The artwork throughout the property was nothing short of spectacular, adding to the feeling that we were staying in a living art gallery. The atmosphere was tranquil, clean, and comfortable – everything had been perfected down to the smallest detail. The service was impeccable, truly a 10/10. The staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to help, making us feel incredibly welcome. We enjoyed the minibar, the lovely balcony, and the peaceful surroundings. Normally, I don't take photos of accommodation, but here I couldn’t resist – I must have taken a thousand pictures because this place is simply a work of art. The “wow” factor was real, and it was, by far, the biggest surprise of all our stays in Sri Lanka. If you're looking for a truly artistic, memorable, and tranquil experience, this is the place to be!

Sri LankaWe did feel slightly uncomfortable with the bathroom’s open design facing the roadside. Adding a set of blinds or a similar option would enhance the experience and provide more comfort when using the space.
The hotel was a beautifully designed, serene retreat, perfect for a relaxing getaway. It offered a peaceful atmosphere, free from crowds, with exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. The room was spotless and well-equipped with all the essential amenities. A true haven for those who appreciate art, design, and aesthetics.

United KingdomWould be great if there was a water cooler in reception or somewhere we could buy additional water ( if the staff were not around) Hotel is quite dark ( I think that’s to suit the relaxed vibes) but a few more lights would help in the common areas. I’ve noticed this in lots of Sri Lanka though! Perhaps it’s to keep the mozzies away 🤔
