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 Arab EmiratesThe room we stayed in is a modern glass house, well decorated with a big office table perfect to finish your left emails and then take a shower outside in a well covers area. Unfortunately the little house is not so well sounds proofed, so the night was full of disturbing form the near by street, fighting dogs and animals as well as late night party people having a great time on there way home. We woke up to the Maintanance staff cleaning the sewer system to out bad luck this morning.
When we enter the location we meet a lush and green scenery. The welcome of Eraeliya is warm and informative. The reception feels like to come to someone’s home back in the colonial times. The food is the best about this place, extremely well composed in a platoria of colors, dinner by the pool. Breakfast is served in the most beautiful settings with a beautiful view over the bay and the early morning surfers.

Beautiful garden and pool area, exceptionally friendly and attentive staff (a special thanks to Sandun who took great care of us during our stay), wonderful à la carte breakfast, perfectly secluded villa (we stayed in Beach Hut Muhudu bella which is great for couples)

IrelandNothing we didn’t like about the property. We only had breakfast so can’t comment on the other menu items but I do think $12 for a latte is crazy expensive!
Beautiful accommodation located just outside the main town of Weligama! With private access to the beach and a beautiful pool looking out over the surfers, you feel you never want to leave the property. Breakfast was included and was really tasty and the staff are just excellent and really pleasant!

SwitzerlandThe staff was a bit slowly reactive and appeared not to be very happy. The first day we had some trouble to find sun beds because there are not enough. The beach access could be improved. The price is quite expensive for a 5 stars hotel and the view compensates it, but the service could really be improved (we had to ask things several times).
The location is mind blowing with the front sea view, the villa garden and the swimming pool. There is also a beach access. Our room was big, nicely decorated in a colonial style with spa furnitures. The customer has the choice to have breakfast in front of his room on the private terrasse or in the garden which adds to the intimacy. The breakfast was really good!

United KingdomDinner menu quite highly priced compared to other local restaurants, so we were tempted to eat out - I felt for the chef as his food was amazing, we had fresh water crab on the last night , delicious but London prices.
Fantastic location close to but away from the busy beach of Weligama. Beautifully designed main villa - felt like a sumptuous private home with extensive immaculate gardens, views of sea and infinity pool. The staff were especially helpful and friendly, the breakfast healthy, fresh and flexible on time and place.

This is by far the best stays I have ever had. We were a party of four (two couples) and had opted for the sea facing family villa which huge and private. The beach, the cliff and the pool- everything was picture perfect. A special call out to the exceptional staff who made our stay so comfortable- Housekeeping: Hemantha/ Damith Butlers: Sandun/ Deen/ Praneeth Kitchen: Shan/ Kaveen Front Office: Tharaka If you are looking for a quiet, relaxed, romantic and luxurious stay by the ocean I would highly recommend this place.
