How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It was a little far from the beach for me, about half an hour walk! They do supply bikes to borrow, but they were a bit unsafe, the bike I borrowed had handle bars that were loose and I’m not a very confident rider. The owner said he would look at them though!
The Chill NASA family were so welcoming and they were so much fun to stay with! I left feeling like a part of that family and I will definitely be back before I return home! I slept in a bunk bed that had a tree to climb in and out of, there were waterfalls for the shower and sink in the bathroom and plenty of beautiful outdoor chill areas if you want a little quiet time! 10/10 must not miss out! Especially if your solo travelling!

The place was super quiet, the vibes there, the dogs they have, everything is great. The rooms were super clean and very original, truly one of the best places I have ever stayed. We had an amazing coconut rice pudding for breakfast and they were always looking out for us, sharing good times, stories, food. I would definitely recommend it to everyone and it is clear to me that if I go back to Sri Lanka, I will go to Chill Nasa.

Super cool Hostel. Feels like you are in the middle of the jungle and you can see that it is built with love. The owner Himesh is a really nice guy who took us to a few really cool places (not touristic). The food he cocked for us was insane too! Sadly we only had two days there. I can olny say at this hostel you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Peace!

Very chill place, Himesh is an amazing host, always willing to help and making sure you feel comfortable. Breakfast was great as well! I had to return because I forgot something and arrived in the late evening. Himesh his mother and father let me in and invited me to have tea and got me some food. They even offered me to stay the night for free since it was getting late and I stilI had to take a bus for 3 hours. I was really touched by their kindness and hospitality. For chill nasa alone you should stop in Bentota! Also go dining at Diya sisila if you’re not on too tight of a budget (best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka). All the best guys!

Hamesh was drunk when he rolled in with three male friends and another guest (female); later she told me of her very uncomfortable evening. I was told breakfast was 9:30-10 and I booked a single room but around 6:45a was awoken by Hamesh saying another guest needed to come into the room; I had borrowed a bike the night before and got caught in a massive storm so didn't get back until late and had been assured the door locked (as there were a bunch of mosquitoes); after I said I booked a single room, Hamesh unlocked the door anyway when I was half dressed to try to force the guest into the room! Later Hamesh said I booked a cave (there are three), but I booked the single room and anyways it is not clear on the site when you are booking the MRI-like "cave." ...If he had recognized that a few of his actions were messed up, copped to it and took full responsibility, that would've been one thing; but he said a couple times, once after asking that I not write a negative review, unprompted, that he didn't do anything wrong; this, as I told him, is part of the problem. That and he had no memory of the night before. Would be a nice place if he lays off the booze and grows up a bit. Sorry Hamesh.
Breakfast was very good and for the price I paid with my discounts, would have presented a good value in itself despite location 2km from beaches and waterfronts; Hamesh has a sweet family and nice doggoes, cute turtles in the mangroves (?); design of the place is hand-done with nice touches. Was able to use bikes for no cost, which provides fun and more value, and Hamesh was kind enough to take me to the bus stop to try to make up for some of the down sides....

The room we stayed in was super nice and we loved the shower outside. The people were also super nice and helpfull and we got to use bikes, which was very nice. They also organised a super fun trip and we had a very good time during new years. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a fun hostel :)
