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 reviewThe location is very central in Uppuveli, close to the beach (2 minute walking distance) and to the restaurants. Other facilities like supermarket and ATM were also very close. The family running the place is extremely careful and they make you feel at home. The home made breakfast is simple but tasty. AC works properly.

Verified reviewRooms are very clean, air conditioning work, there is still ceiling fan. Wi fi is good. Bed linen and towels are provided fresh. The Beach is a 4-minute walk away. The guest House has a café. There are many cafes and restaurants near the hotel. Recommend!
There is no refrigerator in the room, but you can use the refrigerator in the kitchen of hotels. A couple of times there was no water, but I think it's not a problem at the hotel

Verified reviewFacility is closer to the beach.
Unfortunately, our stay was not comfortable due to several issues with the room. The indoor temperature was extremely high, reaching up to 35°C. Although I informed the owner about the malfunctioning air conditioner and he attempted to address the issue, the cooling was still inadequate. The temperature only dropped to around 29°C, which remained uncomfortably warm and affected our sleep quality. Additionally, basic amenities such as soap and bath towels were not provided, which was disappointing. Considering these shortcomings, we did not feel the accommodation was worth the amount we paid. The only positive aspect of the stay was the property's close proximity to the beach, which was convenient.

Verified reviewThe hosts were incredibly helpful - keen to understand our needs and assist us in the best possible way. For example, we try not to use disposable plastic water bottles and travel with our own re-usable bottles. The host was kind enough to arrange a 20litre container of drinking water for us, from which we re-filled our bottles. We paid for the water, he explained he would get his deposit back on the container when it was returned. Excellent. We were very happy. We also used the kitchen facilities to make a fruit salad and the laundry facilities. All good.
All good.

Verified reviewVery close to the beach and restaurants. Ideal location to explore Trincomalee. The host was very friendly and was always checking if we needed anything. We could wash off the sand outside before entering our room. On our last day the host prepared a fruit platter for us, it was delicious. Our room was clean and spacious.

Verified reviewGreat location near the beach and restaurants, large and clean room with good AC. Nice manager, who helped me to arrange tuk-tuks when I needed it. He also allowed me to hang out on the sofa in the reception area even after my check-out for quite long time period.
Low water pressure in the shower, no hot water. There was no proper blanket on bed. Quite noisy from outside.
