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.).

We booked the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and were very satisfied. The room was very clean and spacious. It had a large bed with a comfortable mattress. Everything we needed was nearby – just a 1-minute walk to the grocery store and coconut vendors. Across the street, you can buy delicious fresh-cut fruits. The beach is only a 3-minute walk away. There are many cafes, restaurants, shops, and surf schools in the area.

The hosts are just wonderful - very friendly and helpful . Bed super comfy and the garden view was fab. Trains run behind the back of the guesthouse quite frequently so you will need ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.

United KingdomThe Sweden Inn is the perfect guesthouse to stay at in Hikkaduwa. The host family are absolutely lovely, the wifi is great, there is hot water, aircon, and it is in right in the middle of Hikka, with the beach just across the road and only a few minutes walk either way to whatever restaurant you desire to eat at. The property is very well secured with cctv all around, and a gated entrance which is locked at night. The rooms also feature a safe which gives you that added security for your valuables. The value for money is unmatched and I doubt you can find anywhere better to stay for the price that you get The Sweden Inn for. 🏴

Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. A lot of hosts have been welcoming but Chandini truly went above and beyond to make us feel part of the family. She constantly put us at ease and provided help whenever we needed it and was always there to greet us with a smile and a conversation whenever we returned to the guest house. The room was heavenly, the shower was hot and the lovely comfortable four poster bed had a mosquito net, A/C + a fan. We got terribly soaked on a rainy drive home and Chandini even hung our clothes on her own washing line to get them dry for our next day departure, and found us a bus to our next destination, making sure she waited with us and flagged it down. So kind. Her son also arranged a scooter for us for the best price we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far! We will definitely be booking again if we return to Hikkaduwa!

GermanyIt was absolutely perfect for me (solo backpacker in need of a few beach days). The room was extremly good value for money - clean, comfortable, with many pillows and a good mattress. The location was absolutely perfect - three minutes walk to the IMHO best part of the beach in Hikkaduwa, the Northern part of Narigama beach, which is much nicer and quieter than Hikkaduwa beach and is still close enough to the shops and restaurants "downtown". Highlight of my stay were the owners - lovely welcome, sad goodbye, always there with a smile and advice if I needed some, and at the same time absolutely respectful of my privacy. Definitely a highly recommended place to stay!
