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.).

United KingdomThe hill is steep to get to the actual hotel.
The hotel is a peaceful sanctuary away from the main road. Its so quiet and has an amazing pool area that over looks palm trees. Th room was a brilliant size and the staff were great and able to assist at any opportunity. It is up a steep hill so beware when booking this but we didnt mind as we like to walk. Great wifi available for free and a lovely sitting area within the reception. W e were also met with a welcome juice on arrival!

The Horizon Hill Top is located away from the busy beach roads on a hill. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The staff are cheery and helpful. We did use a tuk tuk to come and go but if you're a keen walker you could manage it. The pool is lovely.

SlovakiaMaybe more toilet paper is needed for a week stay, but when we asked for it, we got it. The wi-fi was not working very well (we got the password, but works for one device only). Would be nice to have more fresh juices available.
Fantastic view from the balcony, could spend all day there – real jungle vibes. Lovely breakfast every morning and the staff was helpful with their suggestions. During the way, whenever we asked for something (like water bottles) we got it quickly, the staff was very helpful and nice.

SwedenAs the bathroom was outside and the ceiling of the bathroom was hen net/wire net, we had quite a few mosquitoes which ruined the experience of the bathroom a bit. Adding a mosquito net on top of the ceiling should not be a hard to do. My girlfriend got a back and shoulder massage but in was unfortunately not got.
Lovely stay, beautiful room and well secluded location. We got our own house which was a very pleasant surprise och the ”outside bathroom” was very nice. Good shower pressure!

Sri LankaSpiders. There's a long walk from the lobby to the room which is unavoidable and has a bunch of stairs. Some tuk tuks don't like going up the hill, and drop you off at the bottom of it and you have to hike up with your stuff when this happens... which is kind of unpleasant. The pool had a bunch of fallen leaves (cause it was raining) that took too long to clean up, so we never got a chance to test out the pool.
The room was great! The hot tub was unique and really the star of the room making it very enjoyable, the layout of the room and bathroom made it quite nice to stay more than. The Sri Lanka breakfast was really delicious and the bedding was clean and comfy.

United Kingdom- it was perfect and we didn’t want to leave.
This place felt like a proper retreat. Beautiful accommodation nestled in nature with great views. Room was spacious and well appointed with a view of the valley where you could sit on the terrace and watch monkeys, chipmunks and exotic birds. The Ayurvedic treatments were also very good with this ideal setting.

This villa is truly wonderful, offering all the necessary amenities and a serene, peaceful environment. In the mornings, you can enjoy the sight of a variety of beautiful birds. The hospitality here is exceptional. We went diving in Unawatuna at 8 AM and chose to skip breakfast beforehand, as having a heavy meal isn't ideal before diving. We planned to have our breakfast afterward, but due to an unexpected delay, we returned to the villa at 12:45 PM. Despite it being well past breakfast time, the Office Manager, Mr. Thilak, kindly prepared and served our meal without any hesitation. I deeply appreciate this level of service — it was excellent. Moreover, the breakfast was incredibly tasty and delicious. I highly recommend this villa, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Thilak and the kind staff for their outstanding hospitality.

United KingdomWiFi could have been better
The property is located further back from the main part of Unawatuna but I liked this as I prefer being away from the sea. It is a quiet oasis of tranquility. The room was amazing - it had a lovely big 4 poster bed which was like sleeping on a cloud. I loved the open roof bathroom with the stunning shower which had hot water. The pool was fab and clean. The service was great and friendly and the food was amazing. The portions were huge and the dishes were all freshly made. We had the biggest prawns and a huge tuna steak. The vegetable curries are a trio of delicious curries, highly recommend.

Czech RepublicThe location is something to consider. If you like to stay in the jungle and see monkeys from the swimming pool - it’s is awesome, but if you want to be able to quickly reach Una, or other city, or better beaches than the one next to hotel, you have to count with ~1000 LKR for tuktuk every time you go out of villa or get back. We did not enjoy the breakfast much as well, but other dishes in the cafe we ordered were fine.
We stayed in double deluxe room with pool view, and it was one of the most surprising, unusual and exciting rooms we have been to in Sri Lanka. We entered it and gasped - we had alive fish in the aquarium in the bathroom, and our furniture was made out of concrete, with one wall being literally a rock. We also really loved the pool, it’s big, clean. overall staff takes good care of the facilities with keeping it beautiful and clean.

United KingdomMinor thing but the floor in our room could be quite slippery if we wore socks!
We loved the location of this place. Yes it's a trek from the town (we tried to walk it one day but it was too hot so got a tuktuk), but we enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Our room had a beautiful view and we enjoyed watching lightning storms, as well as monkeys from our room. The room was beautiful - huge and very well designed. The breakfasts were also good. We didn't have the evening meals, which looked expensive compared to other restaurants. If in the area we'd stay again.
