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.).

AustraliaNo tea or coffee facilities in the rooms. I’m sure it said it did on the website. Manager tried to say it was a tranquil but there were a lot of small children who were very noisey.
Beautiful setting in the gardens. Next to the ocean. Can hear the waves breaking on the beach. Really cosy and comfortable room and bed. Lovely finishing touches.

CroatiaSuch a great location, close to Tangalle. Big, green property that makes you feel relaxed. You can always find a nice spot to enjoy the shade in hot day, listening sooting sound of waves. Lounge area being one of them. Beautiful pool and vicinity of the beach gives you the choice to enjoy your swim. Room was spacious and inviting, with the big and comfortable bed and nice terrace to enter the garden. A la carte breakfast was amazing, with variety of local and international choices. Compliments to the chef. We had the issue with our shower, but Oshan and his team sorted it out immediately. The only thing we regret is not staying here longer, due to our previously arranged plans, but we are looking forward to our next trip to Sri Lanka and enjoy Taru villas once again.

United KingdomMaybe the evening dinner options? We wanted authentic Sri Lankan and the options were mainly western influenced. However there were plenty of options along the beach so we didn’t miss out.
From our arrival to our departure the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We decided to book literally a couple of days before - we didn’t want to stay in Mirissa after speaking with several people - and the villa was just beautiful and exceeded what we were looking for. Somewhere quiet, great location, and relaxing. Taru Villas was everything we look for.

Lithuania• The area outside the hotel outside the fence on the beach is nothing like a luxury experience (the beach itself is normal if you stay elsewhere but if you stay at the hotel I would like properly arranged sun-beds, etc.) • I had a minor unpleasant dinner experience with one of the waiters where he almost refused to serve me at 9pm even if it’s written their kitchen is available until 10 pm (but we all have space for development). • I felt the youngest of the guests during my stay; thus if one is traveling solo, and is younger than 40, I would suggest to look for a more lively place :) • And I didn’t like limited lunch/dinner menu with more western adapted meal options and more western adapted prices as well - so explore the surroundings for a true Sri lankian experience!
I loved the premises, that speak classic luxury. Beautiful room and common space, especially the open living room that is a lovely area to relax at evenings, to do online work with a laptop, or chill with a cup of tea when it rains outside. The staff is very professional, and the maintenance/cleaning services impeccable. One of the main managers - Oshan is the most caring guardian!

I and my family spent five nights at Taru Villas, the first two at the Pool House and the remaining three nights at Kurumba House where were upgraded thanks to the kindness of the manager Gihan. Gihan was very attentive, supportive, always professional. Nothing was impossible for him! The stay at the villas exceeded our expectations. Everything was great. The properties were spotless and super comfortable. The food was amazing, fresh juices so tasty! We were being looked after by Ruwan, his service was amazing. He was always there and available but at the same time his presence was very discreet. We would love to come back to the Villas. Thank you all for making our holiday truly special!
