Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United Arab EmiratesOur stay was really fun at the beach house, the access to the beach was amazing and our children loved playing down on the beach. The breakfast was an extra charge for our room but was good and both days we had different options. The staff and the owner were really helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Although there is no restaurant literally two seconds down the beach is a lovely restaurant so you don't feel at a loss. We would defo go back and stay again.

IrelandWorn down, dirty fridge and not working. Stains on sheets and they went into our room without doing any daily cleaning work. Not sure what that was for but thankfully we didn’t lose anything. I still don’t think they should go in to our room if they didn’t have any business there. I know they went in because the blanket that we purposely left on the floor was put away on top of the bed.
View and the beach is 10/10, we swam here everyday during our stay and so many turtles at the front of the beach! Bed was comfortable.

FinlandThere was nothing I didn’t like but I think it would be good to provide some kind of snacks and drinks and maybe also to include breakfast. There are plenty of restaurants around the area but it could be good for the hotel if they would have the option. I know that the manager would provide something if you wanted but it was not something that was advertised.
Lovely place to stay next to the beach. Managed by a very helpful and kind man who was always happy to help with anything we needed. Definitely worth the stay.

GermanyWe had absolutely nothing to complain about.
Really nice place right on the beach with access to sun beds. We had a room on the 1st floor which has a direct view on the ocean. Room had a refrigerator which was really great. We were allowed outside drinks and food on the premise. We had warm water all the time (which we did not have at other places on our tour). The manager Pushpamal was a really nice guy. He arranged us a taxi to the airport, so we did not have to organize it by ourselves.

Sri LankaI have nothing to complain about.
I was warmly welcomed by the owner of the Hotel. Behind the hotel complex, you'll find the beach and other attractions such as The Frog Rock, Turtle Beach, and the Unawatuna Beach Swing. The room was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. There is also the option to have breakfast at the hotel, including local dishes. The staff was very helpful and accommodating to all requests. The hotel owners are very caring and were always approachable during my stay. A lovely environment where it’s impossible to get bored. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. I would book it again and definitely recommend it to others.

United KingdomAmazing location right in front of the beach. Because of the geography of spot, there is a sort of lagoon protected by the coral reef where you can swim with kids safely and where you can spot and swim some giant sea turtle. The host and everyone working in there is super friendly and helpful, really nice people.
