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.).

FranceWe recommend to put in the double room a mosquito net because a lot of mosquitoes was inside.
We had an amazing stay at Ubuay GuestHouse. Anthony was outstanding from start to finish, always going above and beyond to make sure our week in Trincomalee went perfectly. He was attentive to every detail and truly took care of us. He even cooked us fish and calamari with so much heart — and you could really taste it. The breakfasts were also excellent, especially the Sri Lankan breakfast, which we highly recommend. A huge thank you to Anthony for all his help — we look forward to seeing you again soon! We definitely recommend staying at Ubuay GuestHouse, you’ll be warmly welcomed.

IrelandA good easy locations, clean and comfortable rooms. But the best thing about this place is the people. Everyone who worked here was so friendly kind and helpful. Antony the host was incredibly knowledgeable on areas to visit and always happy to help. We asked him one morning about hand weaving and he then organised for us to go with him to visit two different weaving mills and meet some amazing people, no extra cost or pressure to buy goods just really honest and happy to help. Thank you so much for having us. It was such a highlight of our trip! We will be back

PolandMy room was not so nice. The floor, when I was putting things on it, was leaving stains on my clothes that I can’t get rid off now. But I have chosen the cheapest option that’s why! So anyway the room was OK! I was spending only nighttime in it because I was all day out so it was not the issue!
It was so nice to stay there. The distance between the beach and my room was about 1 1/2 minutes walk! The best thing was I could go back even at midnight because it was 150 meters walk! The hotel area is so safe, the staff is very nice and helpful and you can talk with them if you want. It is the best area in Trincomalee to sleep in!

SpainAll was perfectly fine.
I had a wonderful stay at Paul’s place in Trincomalee. Communication was very effective and fast—Paul was always available to answer questions and provide helpful tips, which made everything smooth from check-in to check-out. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh, local ingredients and generous portions that really gave a taste of Sri Lankan hospitality. The location was ideal—just a short 2-minute walk from the beach, making it perfect for morning swims or sunset strolls. The surrounding area was peaceful yet close enough to restaurants and small shops for convenience. The accommodation itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. It struck a lovely balance between simplicity and charm, making it a relaxing place to unwind after a day of exploring. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Trincomalee in a welcoming and well-hosted setting. Thanks again, Paul!

AustraliaThis place was absolutely perfect. The room was huge and had a massive kind size bed. Both the bedroom and bathroom were very clean on arrival. Fantastic location just a few minutes walk to the beach and many restaurants. Breakfast was an omelette, 3 pieces of toast, papaya, watermelon, butter, jam with coffee or tea. The main highlight of this stay was the very friendly and kind host Antony. He was more than happy to help us in any way he could and recommended some great places to see in Trincomalee. Thank you! :)

The accommodation was very clean and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Just a 3-minute walk from the beach, it is a peaceful and quiet spot, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the seaside. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and gave us great advice to help us plan the rest of our trip. They even reached out to their contacts to help us find the best deals. We loved the included breakfast and tried both the Western and Sri Lankan options. While both were delicious, the Sri Lankan breakfast was our favorite! Our hosts were attentive, always available, and truly made us feel welcome. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this place without hesitating

It was a great location, close to the beach and restaurants. The beach is amazing and you can easily find a spot in the sand away from people and enjoy the quiet and water, or easily find a chair to enjoy the beach! Paul was great and was attentive to our never ending questions. He was always available and helped us with booking a taxi to Kandy and doing a snorkel trip to Coral Island. The room is big, with plenty of room to spread out. The aircon is a major plus, but the fan works very well too!
