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.).

AustraliaRoom and bathroom were so spacious, plenty of room to unpack our suitcases. Bathroom was stocked with toiletries and a hairdryer. Room was beautifully decorated and we had table and chairs out the front to enjoy the morning/evening. Pool was well maintained and the perfect temperature to cool off at the end of the day. The staff organised a full day safari for us that was fantastic- highly recommend leaving the organising to them. They also provided a packed breakfast with no worries of our vegetarian diet. We ate at the accomodation after a day of safari and while it was more expensive than other dinners we have had it was delicious and part of the price Loews on convenience. Highly recommend, all staff were so kind and helpful.

United StatesNothing- we liked everything. Compared to some other nearby restaurants, dinner was a bit pricey.
We liked everything about the property, the bedroom was very spacious with a table and chair to work with. Bathroom is super big, equal size to a typical bedroom. The pool was amazing and it was very clean and well kept. The staff was very accessible and helpful, Kumara and Neranji were the chief members who helped us during our stay. Kumara always had a wide smile across his space and was ready to help any time you needed him. We had dinner at the premises for two nights and one outside. Delicious food!

We had such a peaceful stay here, we were only here for one night but loved how this property is surrounded by nature and is so calm. The room was really comfortable and huge! The staff were very friendly and attentive. We had dinner brought to our terrace and a packed breakfast for our morning safari. Would definitely recommend staying here and booking a safari through this accomodation!

NetherlandsThe price-quality and quantity of the food is not quite in proportion. But at the end of the street you have restaurant Flavors where you can eat deliciously.
Nice, big room. Lovely big bed. And nice pool to cool off. It is also nice that you can eat at the accommodation. Breakfast was neatly provided at 5:45 in connection with safari. Tissa itself has little to offer, but this accommodation makes your stay in Tissa pleasant.

LithuaniaThe only thing that could have been better (and I am being very pretentious here) was food. It was ok, but for the options in the town were tastier and cheaper.
The houses are decorated very nicely, truly spacious and stylish. There is a lot of space in the garden, so many bird species and squirrels just roaming around. A pool was great and we had the whole resort practically just for us!

NetherlandsThere wasn't really anything I didn't like. However, I preferred the food at the sister property in Bentota, hence I've given a 9 rather than a 10.
The accommodation is wonderful and the location perfect, tucked away from busy roads. The room is big and the bathroom even bigger, the beds are super-comfortable, the pool is clean, with pool towels provided, and a lovely covered terrace out front where you can sit and read in the evening - the staff put coils out for the mosquitoes. There is wildlife right on your doorstep - a troupe of langurs right behind my room and beautiful birds in the garden. The staff were also great about arranging an early morning trip to Bundala National Park for me, with a knowledgable guide and for a reasonable price. Oh, and great home-made jam for breakfast :)

PortugalWe only stayed one night but the food was not the best, its ok but everywhere else in srilanka the food was much better so for longer stay that may be an issue.
Beautiful place, only 4 villas sharing a pool in nature. Our villa was so clean really big decorated with style, the outdoor bathroom alone was 30sqm and so zen. Really the photos dont do this place justice. The staff is also so nice whatever you ask no problem they are so lovely.

GermanyWhat to be mindful of: - It is quiet and peaceful and therefore there are not many other restaurants nearby. We loved the food at the venue, so no problem for us, but if you are looking for dinner choices nearby, there are not many. - As with quite some other places in Sri Lanka: Payment only in Cash, so make sure to have enough available on checkout
Very calm, family run retreat which is a perfect starting point for a Yala Safari What we liked: - Very welcoming and friendly family that owns and runs the place. - Fantastic home-cooked Sri-Lankan food (In our opinion the best Sri Lankan Curry we had). - Quiet and relaxing garden with pool. - Bungalows have lots of space inside (not really needed, but still nice)
