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.).

NorwayWe stayed for 5 nights in January 2025. The hotel is new with nice architecture and interior. Good ambience by the pool. We had the largest room. Spacious with nice interior and two large double beds and a single. Very good WiFi. No noise from the main, busy road along the beach, trains go close by (rarely). We had several meals at the hotel. Credit to Neil, the chef, who served up one meal better than the other. Dinidu, the manager, and his staff did everything he could for our stay to be at its best. The hotel is small and tranquil.

Sri LankaThe discriptor mentioned it was a garden view but there was a bare land which did have a good view. We had to pass a unsafty railway crossing to enter the hotel.
We booked a triple room, and the room had two king size beds which was comfortable and had enough room. Tasty food with good quantity. Small but a clean swimming pool.

We enjoyed my stay at The Chariot. Location is great and easy to travel from Airport and it took 2 hours to reach. From Check-in to Check-out, we experienced the same hospitality and personal care. When we said we were tired, and they arrange for us to go to room and then they did the check-in documentation which was great. It was a rainy day and could not enjoyed the garden much. Unfortunately, there was a power cut due to repair in National power grid due to heavy rain. Team is friendly. Experienced the Sri Lankan food which was great. Architecture was really beautiful and there are locations for the photography lovers. Highly recommendable resort to stay and enjoy your vacation.

EgyptIt was my first trip to Srilanka and I had a great deal from Booking.com. I hear about a nick name for Srilanka as "Smiling nation" . I experience the same with hotel staff and other people who I met outside. I highly recomond Srilanka as tour destination, is really safe and Value for money trip. Location - It is beautiful place with easy access to Main road, Railway station and beach. Safety and privacy is high within the property Hotel - Architecture was really beautiful I love it. Rooms are sizable. Design is beautiful. Even though it is a boutique hotel, all the facilities are there within the room including tea/coffee and bathroom amenities. Bathroom is bit small. But It is fit for purpose. We had all facilities within the room such as Air conditioned room, TV , internet connection. Staff- They are so friendlily, helpful and always smiling Food- Food was great.. Tried lots of seafood.. Recommend to try their sea food platter which is great Cleanness - It is well-maintained hotel. Rooms are cleaned well. Thank you THe Chariot Hikkduwa team. I will see you again.

United Arab EmiratesIt was a great stay in The chariot hikkaduwa. While we were booking the hotel we worried a bit as there was no much review about the hotel as it is Newly built hotel . But ,!We were so happy about our selection. Great team with grade hospitality. Always supportive. We had a TV issue and they solved quickly and said sorry thousand times which shows the hospitality for customers. When we ate hoppers I felt the same taste how my mom use to make hoppers . Homey feeling which was great. We love the architecture of the hotel. Highly recommend and we will visit again

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend The Chariot Hikkaduwa Resort to anyone seeking exceptional accommodations and service. During my recent stay, I experienced unparalleled hospitality and comfort. The hotel's amenities, cleanliness, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. Their warm and friendly demeanor made me feel valued and welcome. The hotel's location, room, dinings were equally impressive, offering stunning variety. I appreciated the all amenities and services, which added to my overall satisfaction. I highly recommend The Chariot Hikkaduwa Resort to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
