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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomThe food offering is very expensive (we were offered fried rice for us$12 per person which we declined and went next door) . Lots of ants in the room.
Location is right on the beach front, provided loungers with mats. Room had a kettle and good air conditioning. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice balcony overlooking the sea plus good parking .

NetherlandsWhen checking out the food turned out to be quite expensive, one of the most expensive we had in Sri Lanka.. we did not check in advance but also didn't expect this pricing.
The beachfront where the hotel is situated at is really a gem! We we were almost the only ones at the beach, with a calm sea and beautifull bay to walk and swim. It was magical. Hotel offers food and nice room with a view on the ocean. Hotel isn't finished yet so looking forward to sea what time will bring. I fear It won't be such a hidden gem anymore! Owner is really making an effort with the hotel.

Germanyrather expensive, nevertheless no card payment is possible (if I stayed several days I would need to carry around half a fortune in cash - that's not acceptable for such a place) Sunloungers under coconut palms (shadow - makes sense) but coconuts were not removed for safety purposes (other locations do this because of the risk of coconuts dropping to the ground very unexpectedly) Hotel is still under construction (interrupted due to COVID). This wasn't visible while booking
Extraordinary proximity to the beach, very friendly and helpful staff, nice view (but ocean is only partly visible due to many trees), well-sized rooms, clean

RussiaVery slow internet, that is often in Sri Lanka. Food was a little bit expensive. However tasty. Picture is looks like it is more new that it is not so new in reality.
Ocean view. Only 6 rooms. Beach is good. And walking distance to Pasikuda beach. Some snorkling in walking distance is also available.

SwitzerlandAs we checked in, the hotel was just opened for 1 month. However, the construction project started shortly before the pandemic. They couldn’t finish the construction and have chosen to open the hotel for business with 2 upper floors unfinished. - We arrived at the end of the month. They said the internet data limit has been used, so, we’d need to wait until the beginning of the month to have Wi-Fi connection. They did change the Booking.com description at that time. - The breakfast costs $8 / person, which is overpriced for what you get. - The facility in the room was aged. It gave a feeling to stay in a hotel that was forgotten during the pandemic, and just opened without much attention of renewing the facilities. We told the owner at the end of our stay. He said he’s happy that we were honest and he’ll renew the facilities. Hope his words have come true.
- The manager was super helpful and friendly. - The room was spacious with ocean view. - The location was good - walking distance to Pasikuda beach, which is better for swimming than Kalkudah beach.

RussiaGreat place and location! Very nice almost empty beach (with cows 😁), new hotel, which soon will have more rooms. All the staff is very helpful, room is clean and with nice design (love the concrete table/wardrobe thing!) All rooms has sea view and balcony. Dinner at the beach with freshly caught tuna was good too, thanks to the guys!
