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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

SpainEveryithing was fine..the only thing is thati s a bit far from.the center of town..but they are buses running every 10 min and tutk-tuk always available ..
The location is perfect if you are looking for a quiet place...rigth at the beach front..a bit further apart from.other hotels and busy parts of the beach. .It is a lovely place to spend at least several days..with an incredible little cove protected by rocks..and nearby the fisherman's harbourt and fish market The owner is very attentive and helpful I highly recommend it

AustraliaIt was a bit difficult to find after getting a local bus from Colombo as I didn't have Wifi or a local SIM. Friendly locals helped me find it :)
The owner Titus was incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of his way to assist me. I highly recommend this quiet, beach front, value for money accommodation for some relaxation time.

FranceThe room was a bit dark.
Amazing location right at the beach, which was super clean and we were the only ones there. It's located outside of hikkaduwa, so quiet and not so crowded. Worth the drive. Small but decent breakfast. Very friendly and helpful owner

AustraliaNothing really but just be aware that there is a charge to use the communal washing machine
Extremely close (less than 10m to the water) to a beautiful swimming beach. The hosts were super friendly and flexible. Close to beach restaurants. A quieter area, not over run with tourists but still easy to access Hikkaduwa by bus

SwedenThe picture with sunbeds and sunroofs on the beach is not correct. You have to carry the sunbed down and back every day by your own and there are no sunroofs. Nor the hammock on the terrace. The breakfast was the most meager I have received at any accommodation. 2 pancakes with banana and a cup of tea, not even a pot. No bread, eggs, juice or fruit platter. They like to knock on your door early to serve breakfast. But after a couple of days I managed to decide my breakfast time.
The accommodation has 3 standard smaller double rooms upstairs and 2 family rooms downstairs. The location on Dodanduwa beach was perfect. The rooms were perfectly fine with both AC, fan and mosquito net. Missing Mortein and incense to keep the mosquitoes away though. You can order fruit drinks and dinner and they cook good rice and curry.

RomaniaThe sink was clogged and the water stayed in the sink for a long time. But we only stayed one night so did not bother too much.
The property is very easy to get to, it is on the main road but the rooms are right by the beach so you would hear the waves more than the cars. The room was clean, the staff is very nice and the breakfast was delicious.

PolandStay away from this place!!! The owner is very aggressive!!! I’ve stayed in Crocodile Villa 3 days and that was the worst experience I’ve ever had in entire time of my travels. He was very rude and even aggressive. His English was very poor and he didn’t understand when I was trying to explain him something He accused me for not paying the coconut.He said I don’t wanna pay. The last day he got mad and start screaming to me Get out!Get out now from my property! I don’t want you here! It’s just because I asked him for a pan to warm up my food for the breakfast, his breakfasts included to the room payment was very bad so I had my own food. I left the pan to wash for later before my food get cold but he said he don’t care about my food and I must clean right now. When I said I’ll do later he start screaming at me. This man should not run a hotel, he has no idea how to treat the guests. I’ve got scared and insecured.
Only one good thing about this place is location right on the beach although even that not perfect. Every night there was a noisy local people on the beach drinking alkohol and playing loud music in front of the hotel.

Czech RepublicThe staff were impolite, even rude. Almost zero knowledge of English which would be ok with us if they tried to be helpful nevertheless. We paid for the use of a shared kitchen with a stove, fridge etc. The kitchen was locked most of the day so when we put some food in the fridge we then lost access. The staff weren’t around all the time and we had no way to contact them. The gas stove was broken but nobody told us. I tried to cook some rice and ended up with a stove blasting gas in the air. If I hadn’t find a way how to unplug the gas tank the whole place would explode! Nobody gave a damn. When we arrived, a guy just collected money from us and pointed to our room. Gave us keys but the lock was broken (hence our room could not be locked, anyone could come in at all times). Nobody gave a damn. We paid for free toiletries but ended up with one roll of thin toilet paper for 5 days. Nobody gave a damn. We paid for room service but didn’t even get a broom to clean up our room ourselves. Nobody gave a damn. On the second day, the bathroom sink clogged. Nobody gave a damn, we had to deal with that ourselves. To sum up, be prepared to pay a random price to be silently ignored the whole time. When the staff is around, they follow you around the villa and KEEP STARRING. Ask them whether they’re in a need of something, they will either giggle or frown but surely won’t break the eye contact.
Nice location, right at a beautiful beach.
