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 KingdomFelt it wasn’t very good value for money, comparing to other experiences we had in our Sri Lanka trip. Also, some of the rooms looked a bit dated.
Amazing location and very nice facilities near the beach and around the pool. The staff was very helpful and professional.

IndiaNothing major — the hotel is fairly new, so some employees take a little extra time to understand requests, but it’s not a big deal.
Had an absolutely wonderful stay at the hotel! We had a few minor hiccups at the start, but the way the team addressed our concerns was truly commendable. The resort is beautifully located — a must-stay if you’re visiting Trinco.

NorwayThe gym was one of the reasons we booked this hotel, but it was so hot it was impossible to work out there. The air conditioner was turned off all the time even though we tried to turn it on in advance, and talked to the staff about this many times. It was a really unpleasant smell in one of our rooms on arrival. The management handled this poorly to begin with,but eventually we got a new room (an upgrade which was nice).
Nice rooms, good room service. Beautiful location on the beach with sunbeds in the shade. The general staff was really friendly.

United KingdomThe breakfast buffet had exactly the same menu the three days we stayed, could be good if they rotate it. There were some constructions going on when we stayed, but it is understandable that improvements have to be made.
Private beach, comfortable and spacious rooms with necessary things to make our stay comfortable. The pool had a beach view and entrance. The location was good, Max 10 min by tuk tuk from busy areas. The staff was friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe staff were very welcoming when we arrived in the evening, gave us fresh juices and cold flannels to cool down while they checked us in. We were given a quick tour of the facilities and helped with our bags to our room. The room was spacious and clean and the beds were really big and comfortable. The pool is lovely and gets a good breeze from the ocean, there’s also lots of sunbeds in the shade overlooking the beach. All the staff could not do enough while we were there, all super friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. It is also a short walk along the beach to a food court area and beach bar which made for a great evening. Highly recommend staying here.

AustraliaBathroom needs ventilation, gets very stuffy. A shelf in the shower would be a welcomed addition. Nowhere to put soap, shampoo etc. Check in was a little haphazard and a bit pushy to pay the bill. I requested to pay at the end so additional charges could be added. No welcome drink was provided. A fan on the balcony would be nice. Tables next to beach lounges need to be cleaned. A rail on the pool entry would be handy as tiles are slippery.
Great cool pool, close to the sea. Plenty of lounges in the shade near the ocean. Breakfast was nice and varied. Spacious room surrounded by lovely gardens and grass. Easy walk to outside restaurants via the beach. Comfortable bed and pillows.

NetherlandsIt was not crowded, which is ok. However, the accommodation is too big hence the cozy factor is a bit gone. And this when it supposed to be ‘high season’. Breakfast and pool almost always by ourselves or with another couple
Level of comfort is high! Pool and sea in front of you. Also staff very friendly and they prepare your room with care.

GermanyThe a la carte breakfast didn't have the same variety as the breakfast buffet. And I personally think that they should add more vegetarian dishes to the restaurants in general :) and a fan on the balcony would be nice.
The staff was very caring and friendly. The whole resort is quite pretty and it's easy to relax there. Pool and sea are great. We went with a toddler and the premises were perfect. The breakfast buffet was amazing and we even got a lunch box for the day we left. All of our special baby food we asked the chefs to make was not charged. That was great! We are very thankful for that!:)

The pool area was lovely and the impact of the hotel from the beach was minimal compared to a higher rise hotel. My partner thought the breakfast was one of the best we had during our time in Sri Lanka.

GermanyWe didn’t see the option for the private pool and asked at the reception to purchase an upgrade but they never got back to us. As hotel was empty they didn’t offer buffet for breakfast, a la carte was a bit limited and didn’t have lots of vegetarian or vegan options. No coffee included and no vegan milk options
Nice and new rooms but could have some adjustments (shower is already a bit dirty and rosty and bathroom gets wet as there’s no shower door). Big balcony

AustraliaEven though they were appraised of our arrival time, the air conditioning in the room wasn’t turned on until we walked into it. Also there was no menu in the room, and only two small plastic bottles of water, which really should have been glass , and more plentiful. These are small things, but for the price I think it would be helpful to fix them
Nice pool, walk to the beach. Gorgeous breakfasts - the staff in the breakfast room - Prasanthan, Niranjan and Laksan were particularly lovely. Very relaxing lying under the trees by the pool
