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 KingdomThere isn’t any aircon but the did provide us with an extra fan which is lovely! It is by the main road so if you sleep with the doors open it can be loud, but with the 2 fans you don’t need to!
Lovely small apartment with everything you need for a few days at the beach! Huge comfy bed, fridge, balcony and very clean. The hosts are fantastic and provided a lovely breakfast, and even drove us to our next destination in his massive Tuk Tuk! You can walk to Dikwella beach (literally 10 steps) or cheap tuk tuk to Hiritikya. Highly recommend!

Czech RepublicWe would appreciate AC as it was very hot the first night, the second night was a little bit colder and it was okay with fan and open balcony.
We loved our stay, the hosts were super nice, the room was beautiful and the bathroom was the cleanest we’ve seen in Sri Lanka. :) It’s very close to the beaches. Also there was a mosquito net and a fridge in the room so that was nice. We loved the plants everywhere. Great value for the price.

Germany- Since there is no AC in the room, it became a bit stuffy in the room during the night - the house is located at the main road, as long as the door is closed it´s fine, but with open balcony door it can become intense. But maybe it´s just me being sensible ;)
- lovely and caring Hosts - beautiful house - arranged scooter for a reasonable price, there have been some difficulties with the police and they offered all the help - exceptional clean

GermanyI had an exceptional two-week stay at "Art House". The lovely artist couple who is running the gallery were incredibly kind, tending to all my needs. The well-equipped room, more satisfying bathroom, and highly recommended cooking showcased their artistic touch. The ambiance, adorned with plants and pictures, created a pleasant atmosphere. The comfortable bed and cozy balcony, just a minute from the beach, made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for a unique and delightful stay in Sri Lanka. Throughout my stay in dikwella for over a month I stayed in jungle villas, beachfront houses but would prefer to stay at the Art House whenever I come back. The room was cleaned everyday and coming back after hours of an early morning surf was just always pure bliss! The hosts can cater to your every needs and are very invested that you have a man exceptional time! Extremely kind people!

NetherlandsMust say there are no downsides. The street is a little noisy but we still slept really good in the bed. An airco could be a nice addition but the fan in the room did great work cooling us down!
This was the most beautiful stay we have had in sri lanka. The house is so romantic and good looking. Also the room is really clean and good looking. Cleanest bathroom in have seen in sri lanka. The hosts are such nice people and the woman makes wonderful art at her gallery.

The room is well equipped and well decorated ( she is an amazing artist), very comfortable and full of lovely plants and the breakfast was delicious. The locations is close to the city by 10 minutes walk and same is the beach. He even brought us to Ella with the tuk tuk and was a niiice journey! Thanks for everything:)

United KingdomAs some other reviews had mentioned it was quite warm at night but there is a good fan which helps. You can also hear the road noise but it didn't take away from our stay and I still slept well so left happy.
A spacious room with a modern artsy feel, we loved the interior and that they had personalised it so well. It sits above the owners art studio - they are very talented!! We are also plant lovers and there are so many gorgeous ones! The hosts are super welcoming and we are so glad we stayed here, they offered breakfast/dinner too which we now regret not taking! Very clean and tidy, comfy bed, WiFi box in the room so works very well, good balcony space and a decent bathroom/shower. Less than a 5 minute walk to a few restaurants at the beach. We were so pleased with this price of this place we couldn't believe the value with it being so close to Hiriketiya where others are charging so much more for less. Good parking space for our tuktuk. Thank you for a lovely nights stay 🫶

DenmarkBreathing was incredibly challenging due to the lack of air conditioning and only one fan in the room. However, when we expressed our concern, we were promptly provided with a second fan. As others have mentioned, the location near the main street makes it very loud.
The interior is charming, the hosts are incredibly kind and friendly, and Hiriketiya Beach is conveniently close by. Additionally, the breakfast is reasonably priced, ranging between 1000 and 1400.
