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 reviewVilla was really clean, staff very friendly and location was really peaceful and beach was clean.Breakfast was also good and you can choose what kind of breakfast you want. There is only 5 Rooms in this Villa so it's really quiet. There's a small market nearby If you want to buy some snacks, drink etc. Villa has own security person and gate so it's also really safe.

Verified reviewEverything!! The location, the view, the facilities, the food, but overall - the staff are truly incredible, especially Kelum. He and his wonderful team arrange tuk tuks and transfers, mopeds and tours and they bring the most incredible food to enjoy on your balcony (or in your room) with nothing less than silver service. You go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean in this luxurious boutique hotel and in every way possible the staff make your experience magical. With only 5 rooms in the hotel you get peace and calm like few places can ever offer and with essentially a butler style service. This is truly a slice of paradise, so private and exclusive, so special and with such a warm welcome. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed in the world. Ever!
That we couldn’t stay for longer/live there! :)

Verified reviewA Massive thank you to Team Ten30 for making our stay with you so magnificent. The food was amazing and better value than the beach shacks close by. The presentation of our meals was always stunning and served with big smiles, nothing was too much trouble whatever our request, our room was very spacious with a large fridge, the bed was comfortable, bed linin and towels clean and fresh, the views from our terrace were wonderful including the sunrise and sunsets. Kelum, the manager, was so relaxed with our timings, we could dine whatever time we wanted, his mantra is, the answer is yes what is the question. This is the best hotel, food, and staff we have encountered on our stay in Sri Lanka. SO A BIG THANK YOU TO Kelum (manager) Tushama, Tush (head of housekeeping) Dilshan (kelum number 2) Manoj (master chef) Keep up the excellent work team, Ten30. we hope to see you all again one day in the near future. We wholeheartedly recommend this guest house, it's worth every penny. Pete and Sam xx

Verified reviewBreakfast was very good and more than enough food. Location right on the beach offered fantastic sunset views. Pool was small but clean and well maintained. Very refreshing to cool down after coming off the beach. The beach was quiet, clean, spacious and we enjoyed walking up and down. It was about a 20 minute walk to the busier beach area closer to Hikkaduwa. There are some very good options for food and drink within a short walk; nothing overly fancy, but very good quality and prices. We also felt safe walking at night. The food prepared by the hotel staff was also very good and they did there best to accommodate special requests/diets. Really enjoyed listening to the roar of the waves. The guys working at the hotel were wonderful; very kind and considerate, and they always greeted us with a smile. They really went out of their way to ensure our stay was great.
Dear Kevin, thank you for your lovely review & are glad you enjoyed your stay & look forward to having you back. Our best regards, Kalum - manager

Verified reviewSuper staff. Kelum and his team were extrarordinary friendly and attentive. The beach in front is clean and there were almost no beach boys. Also we liked the quietness of that region of Hikkaduwa. It's a bit further away from the main places of Hikkaduwa, where there's more turmoil. And we had a lot of delicious food. We really enjoyed the stay. Thank you!

Verified reviewThe accommodation and staff are absolutely amazing. Location wise it’s a 10-15 minute walk from town but we prefer that and don’t like to be in the noise and crowds so for us perfect! We had the king suite on the top floor and the space, facilities and views were SO good. The staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. Breakfast is like a banquet and we also ate our evening meals there and everything was always on point. Don’t think twice just book!

Verified reviewOverall, excellent stay. Great hospitality and service from the staff, especially from Mr. Kelum. Him and his team took care of us and attended to us in a very kind and professional manner. Place is very private and ideal for couples, even the beach, is not at all crowded. I would really recommend it to anyone, especially couples who prefer a quiet, peaceful and a private stay. Food was very good too, it was fresh and felt home made. Great chef. Highly recommended
There's no kitchen appliances like microwave etc. but the staff were more than helpful to assist to heat your food and all, they would even come to your room step to help you. But i wish the room was equipped with a microwave and etc, as its an apartment like place, so it would be easy for us to get things done by ourselves, rather than calling the hotel staff. (Cuz there's a big fridge in the room to store the food n stuff)

Verified reviewWhat a great stay! The Team of Ten30 Hikkaduwa is so helpful and friendly. There are only 5 rooms, so it's never too busy. It's a quiet part of the beach, which was great, because the beach near to the center of Hikkaduwa can get really full. Everything is still in walking distance, or a short Tuktuk ride away. The curries where really tasty and we even got a cooking demonstration. The rooms are huge and clean, as were the balconies. You can even fall asleep to the sound of the waves, when the door to the balcony is open. As you can probably tell, we had a wonderful time!
Just one thing: There are not enough sunloungers when the hotel is fully booked. Maybe it would be possible to have a few more and out them on the beach in front of the hotel.
Hi! Thank you so much for your beautiful & very encouraging review. We are glad you had a relaxed holiday. So sorry about the sun-beds which will be attended to immediately. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Best regards, Priya.

Verified reviewHands down one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Incredible value for money, wonderful sea views from the balcony and whilst having breakfast. Leads straight onto a lovely quiet part of hikkaduwa beach, but you can also walk up the beach into town or get a short tuktuk. What really made this was the staff, they treated us like family and went above and beyond to personalise our stay. The chef is incredible, having grown up on Sri lankan food, I found some of the towns in Sri lanka did quite fusion-y menus, but this hotel and chef made proper authentic Sri lankan food that was the best of our whole trip
