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.).

Very welcoming hotel with plenty of choice for breakfast, freshly cooked and prepared for us. Great location to Hikkaduwa and beach. The family rooms were so spacious on their beautiful large roof terrace. Ideal for our family for 5 nights in April. Highly recommend.

PolandI will not say anything bad about this place. If you still hesitate to book it- stop doing it and simply book a great stay at Villa Dineha.
This place is fantastic. I travelled together with my wife and 3 year old daughter. During my 6 day stay I worked remotely for 5 days. The internet worked without any problem. Great place, beautiful shady garden,clean pool. Literally a 3 minute walk from the main road and maybe 5 minutes from the beach. The owner and staff give 110% to make your stay a success. Definitely recommend!

United KingdomVilla Dineha is in an amazing location, close to the beach but far enough away from the busy road. It’s is spacious, clean and has amazing helpful staff. The wildlife around the villa is varied and the monkeys are entertaining. The pool is spotless and a good size with a shower and sun beds. Breakfast is similar every day but it is tasty, fresh fruit, eggs, toast, pancakes etc. We arrived very late and the guy was there to greet us with fresh juice and a smile, and he proved helpful throughout. The ladies who make breakfast and clean are little diamonds making the rooms clean and comfortable. The owner is very knowledgeable and helps wherever he can Tuk tuk bookings, ideas for days out. All in all an excellent place.

I felt at home in this place - killer breakfasts after which you need to lie in bed for two hours, the hotel is very cozy, the rooms are very comfortable, a huge swimming pool. I didn't want to leave this place, and even more I wanted to take it with me, since we understood that in other places in Sri Lanka it would be unlikely to be possible to stay in a similar place...

United KingdomThe room was a little dated with the chairs being quite worn and uncomfortable and the sheets were clean but stained.
The room was really big and spacious and staff are all really friendly. The pool is really nice and it’s fun to watch the monkeys around the garden. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and to the main road with lots of restaurants.

LatviaVery nice Villa with friendly atmosphere and great hospitality! The room was spacious and clean, good breakfast, beautiful swimming pool in jungles and cute monkeys, which were coming in the mornings to get some food. The owner of the villa is very friendly and helped us a lot. The staff is happy and smiling, like a big family, and we felt like at home among friends. Definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely amazing place to stay. We have been 5 days and our stay could not be better. Comfort room with air condition, balcony with garden view (once we saw monkeys on the trees 😊). Staff were very kind and polite, always with a smile on their faces! Breakfast was very good with fresh fruit and juice, we have tried a srilankan delicious breakfast one day as well! The owner was very helpful, he explained us the area and give us recomendations and tips for the area. Not very far from Turtle beach where we saw turtles every day. Close to the bars and restorans.

Don't think even for a second, just book!! Where to start? We loved everything!! Staff is wonderful and so is the host. Pool is AMAZING, big, deeper, clean, perfect. Breakfast is amazing, rich and nutritious and healthy and yummy, just what you need to start your day. Ladies making the lunch are the sweetest women ever! Rooms are spacious, clean, modern, bed is so comfortable, nice views from big balcony and the shower is great, water pressure good and warm water available. Mosquito net over the bed. AC is working very good, not noisy, but there is also fan if you prefer it. Location is very good, it may seem it is hidden but just 5 minute walk and you are on the main road with everything close (ATM commercial, restaurants, markets, etc.). This is truly our favourite stay in Sri Lanka by now, we love it so much and want to return as soon as we get to Sri Lanka again. Thank you so much for making big effort in cleaning and breakfast and customer care. We will recommend to everyone!!! P.S. if you need laundry washed and dried, you can also do it at the villa, very well job done and for a fair price. Thank you!! Hearts from Croatia ❤️
