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.).

GermanyIncredibly nice staff. Arranged us Tuktuk to the beach and railway station in the early morning. Also arranged lunch packages because of early departure of our train. Nice pool. Great opportunity to use the very big and clean kitchen to cook for yourself. Very near to the beach. The best thing are the monkeys visiting you at the balcony, so nice for the children. Would definitely recommend this location for a trip to Hikkaduwa.

The beautiful pool was a highlight for the whole family, and the monkeys visiting the balcony added a unique touch - our child was thrilled! The neighbors were great, and the kitchen was clean and convenient - everything was top-notch. If I visit Sri Lanka again, I will definitely return to this hotel. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!

Villa White 16th 17th April This was a nice guest house that provided a warm welcome with cakes and fruit juice on arrival. It has a small pool that was very welcoming in the summer climes. We chose a family room which had two large double beds a private bathroom as well as a desk and two chairs. We were pleased with the fridge which in our experience isn’t common in Sri Lanka but great to keep the water cool. This was a great base to walk to turtle Beach and swim with the turtles as well as walking Hikkaduwa Beach too. Our breakfast consisted of egg toasted bread, freshly squeezed juice and fresh fruit, a great meal to start the day.

We loved our stay at villa white. It's a very welcoming and homely place equipped with everything needed. Beautiful surroundings, big and clean pool, lovely breakfast. The hosts are very helpful too. If you want an amazing place just a little further away from the hustle and bustle of the town look no further.

AustraliaThe bathroom would flood when showering, but not uncommon for Asia. We stayed 4 nights & on the third day had to ask for new bin liners, toilet paper, clean towels and bed linen (we are travelling with our 3 and 1 yr old). Not a major issue but some proactive housekeeping would have been great (we’ve been travelling Asia for nearly 5 months and most home stays provide the above). Overlap still a very good stay.
Comfortable beds, cot provided (thank you) comfortable shared lounge area which we were lucky enough to have to ourselves, clean and beautiful pool, daily breakfast was good. Breakfast was meant to start at 8 but due to our little ones waking early, the host would bring breakfast to us early (thank you).

The breakfast was always above and beyond our expectations, with an array of traditional Sri Lankan treats. The rooms were spacious and the swimming pool was wonderful. It was great staying at this villa, surrounded by nature and wildlife, whilst also being so close to the beaches too! Definitely recommend this villa to all who come to Hikkaduwa!

MoldovaThe only downside to our stay was that the AC needed a cleaning. However, this was a minor issue and did not affect our overall enjoyment of the villa.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel villa that I must say exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a good host and his wife who made me feel like home. They were warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful in every way. One of the things that stood out to me during my stay was the good woman who took care of cleaning the villa. She was very efficient and always made sure everything was in order. I appreciated her attention to detail and the way she made sure that everything was tidy and clean. The villa had all of the facilities that I needed and it was very kid-friendly. There was plenty of space for my family to move around and we never felt cramped or crowded. The location of the villa was also a highlight for us. It was situated in a quite jungle place where even monkeys would come to visit us in the morning. It was a unique experience that we will never forget. The fast internet and good breakfast were also big pluses for us. We were able to stay connected to the outside world and the breakfast was always fresh and delicious. The big territory and good pool were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. One of the things that I appreciated most about this villa was the helping host. He was always available and willing to assist us in any way possible. He was kind and patient with us and made us feel like we were part of his family. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this hotel villa to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The combination of good host and his wife, feeling like home, good woman for cleaning and taking care, having all needed facilities, kid friendly, in quite jungle place where even monkeys are coming in the morning, fast internet, good breakfast, big territory, good pool, and helping host makes this villa a standout choice for travelers.

United KingdomIt would be lovely if the rooms had complimentary toiletries, and darker curtains for the light mornings.
Our family of five loved our stay at Villa White. It's well located, just a short walk from all of Hikkaduwa's shops and restaurants, but far enough away to enjoy a little quiet and nature. We saw incredible birds, squirrels, fireflies and monkeys from the garden. We were fortunate to get a room upgrade, and were greeted with welcome juice and cake by the loveliest of housekeepers; she works so hard and can't do enough for you. The shared self catering space was an added bonus, with sofa, dining table, a well equipped kitchen and a balcony. We used the pool every day too. We only stayed three days, but could easily have stayed for longer.

ChinaNot good value for money. While the building has been decorated recently, the furniture and the interiors definitely need to be refreshed. We found holes in the mosquito nets and stains on the bed lines. The air conditioner shall be recharged as air coming out is not cool enough. The common area has an unpleasant smell.
The owners are very nice and the breakfast is abundant and homemade. Beds are comfortable.
