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.).

SwedenVery nice and big room with good AC.. We were on the groundfloor, just a step into a fantastic garden. A staffmember made gardening with great care. Close to the beach and if you prefer pool there is one as well. Nice, calm feeling over the hole place, because of the garden and the nice staff. I will really recommend a stay.

This is a beautiful place. Really peaceful and cared for. The yoga shala is just lovely and the gardens are gorgeous. The cafe on the beach is perfect. Fresh food and juices with sun loungers and some tables right on the sand. The staff are so kind, I'm leaving with new friends 🥰

SwedenThe staff were so nice here! They went above and beyond what they needed to do. When we arrived it was late and we wanted to have some drinks. The manager drove to the liquor store and bought beers for us. The next day it was my birthday and they even got me a cake. Everything was clean, the pool was awesome and rooms were great.

United KingdomLack of tea/coffee facilities. Kettle, cups in room but no teabags or coffee.
Absolutely loved our stay here and if we could have, would have definitely stayed longer. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. I felt like a small oasis away from busy Hikkaduwa. The pool was fantastic. The rooms were so comfortable. We had a balcony which was very enjoyable in the evenings or 1st thing in the morning. Great for spotting wildlife. We used Thambili Cafe a few times for breakfast and dinner, which was a wonderful experience and delicious food. We even liked the trains running outside, and felt it added to the experience of being in Sri Lanka. The staff arranged transportation to our next destination, and we would have taken up their offer to use their transportation from the airport had we not already arranged with another company.
