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.).

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful and central location. The hosts are a wonderful family, very kind and helpful. The room was large with a four poster bed, mosquito net and a great sized en suite bathroom. Very clean throughout. In addition to this, the room had its own fridge and safety box. The villa has a beautiful terrace outside too. It also has a fully equipped kitchen which you can use. WiFi works very well. It's close to the beach, shops and restaurants. All within walking distance. They also dropped us at the airport at the end of our trip. The hosts own a mini van and tuk tuk if you want to do any trips away from bentota. Really recommend this villa to everyone!

AustraliaThis is a great place to stay in Bentota. It's only about 100m from the main bentota beach, a short walk across the train tracks. There's also a nice restaurant just down the hill, we got takeaway from it. Owners are lovely, rooms are spotlessly clean with comfortable beds.

The owner was super communicative on WhatsApp and he offered lots of help when I was unfortunately unwell too! He couldn’t do enough for me and his mum and the two kids were super sweet! Much appreciated thank you Channa Villa!

LithuaniaNo TV 🙂, but in Sri Lanka usually there are no TVs in the rooms and for some people it could be an advantage rather than disadvantage.

The stay was very nice. Super comfy A/C Rooms with big comfortable beds for a wonderful sleep. The owner was super nice and arranged a good discounted Boat Ride, a visit to a turtle hatchery.He had some other activities also but we had little time. The bentota beach is 2 min away by foot so its perfect. The Included breakfast was filling with a lot of variety. We got Egg Hoppers with sambol and Jam, butter with bread. A Passion Fruit Drink, Bottled water, Tea and Coffee was available as beverages. Fruits were also there as a dessert. Parking is also available.

The rooms at the villa are maintained to the highest standards, very clean, hot water, kitchen, cutlery, complimentary tea/coffee.

United StatesThere were some power outages during my stay, but this seems to affect all of SL and not just this place. Also, Channa seemed to want to take me to many shops (ex: woodcarving, gems) so not sure if he receives a commission from these places. I actually enjoyed visiting them, but not everyone may enjoy.
Comfortable room and bathroom,location is walking distance from the beach, Channa is so friendly and was great about coordinating all tours and excursions. He made everything very convenient and easy and was always happy to provide recommendations.
