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.).

Sri LankaNice Eco Resort with safe beach for a bath. Very comfortable beds, with large washing areas. Its in the middle of the jungle with lots of nature. Great seafood, fresh days catch is served according to your wish. We liked the Jaffna crab curry that we got for us. Ideal location for nature lovers, photography and underwater lovers. One of the best places to relax, no one to bother you on the beach. Long beach walks and trekking at your will.

Sri LankaWhat I loved most about this place was the relaxing and calm feeling on the premises. It was a different level of experience for me because I was too busy with some stuff, and this place really helped me to step away from the busy schedule and to be relaxed. The staff was super friendly and always ready to help, making me feel welcome right from the get – go. The rooms were comfy, and there was no disturbance, providing a peaceful environment. The food was really good, especially the seafood, which was super delicious. This beach resort can be recommended to anyone who looking for a nice place with a beach nearby, with a fantastic pool, delicious food, and a friendly staff.

The staff we very courteous, sincere and eager to make our stay comfortable. The food was top notch!!! Best seafood meals I've had, generous portions and flavourful curries. I'd come back just for the food! Rooms were right near the beach and we had the beach to ourselves... perfect location!

Sri LankaWonderful time !! Unforgettable stay at Giman Free Beach Resort. Peace and privacy on the beach, no disturbance at all. We both had a wonderful time at the Beach, with shallow water for a perfect sea bath throughout the day. Food offered was just to our liking and the sea food was special. The staff is ever accommodative and supportive. Lots of trees around you and nature all over with inhouse naturalist to show and explain the nature, nature trails and History. Great place to stay for an extended stay !!

Sri LankaNothing bad , all good .
Best thing about the hotel is the location. Nature lovers and people who like peaceful places must book this hotel only. And book it on full moon night. You will never regret. It will be a lifetime experience. Extremely extremely fantabulous moonlit night stay it will be for the nature loving people. Totally satisfied with the hotel stay. Clean rooms , Clean bathroom with bath tub , clean swimming pool , Moonlit beach experience. Beach is just 5 steps away from the hotel. Everything about the hotel is just 10/10. The staffs will make sure that you enjoy your stay completely. Babu supervisor , Ajeeth manager , Pavi cook + auto driver , Neroshan helper , Darshini and Ronshini cleaners..all of them did an amazing job to make our stay enjoyable. All of them are very very helpful , cooperative, supportive and hospitable. 10/10 Pavi makes very delicious food for the guest. Indian, Sri Lankan, English breakfast options are available. A la carte menu is available for lunch dinner snacks. Alcoholic drinks are also available. Food quantity is more than enough. One person cannot finish the food, they give huge quantity. We witnessed fresh fish buying from the beach fishermen. You may buy fresh fish from there and ask the restaurant staff to cook it for you. No disturbance, Only Peace and Enjoyment.

RussiaMy impression is hard to put in words, but I'll try. This hotel has probably been prosperous several years ago, but now it looks empty and even spooky a bit. It is located quite far from everything, the road to the hotel is a dirt road. There's a swimming pool, but very shabby. The ocean is very close and nice, but there's no prepared beach, no deck chairs and beach umbrellas. WI-FI works near reception only. There probably used to be a lawn between bungalows, but now it's dry. The room is spacious, but it seems no one has been there for quite a while. Some barbed wire could be found on the territory. The staff though is very friendly and helpful. But the entire property is really strange. We spent one night there, and if there're no other options it would work, but it's probably not the best choice for a long stay with kids especialy. The hotel could be transformed into something nice, but there's a lot of work to be done yet.

PhilippinesThe pool area is very poorly maintained, for example full of leaves, plastic edging is all broken and breaks under a child when walking in it to get in the pool. There are only 4 loungers and no other seating. The small children’s pools were green. The restaurant area is poorly maintained. Unbelievable amount of flies at lunchtime and breakfast, slightly better in the evening.
The rooms are large and spaced out well. The staff were friendly.

AustraliaWhere to start. I tend to be really fair with my reviews, my standard are not very high, and do not like giving negative reviews, but this property is so badly maintained that I hope management can take this review as constructive criticism. Overall this property looks like an abandoned resort, it should not be called a resort, resort gives the impression of a nice place to relax with a number of facilities. We booked for 3 nights, but thank goodness for booking.com flexible cancellation policy, because I wanted to get out of there as soon as we arrived. I can appreciate some of the other reviews saying that is the perfect place to relax, but if you have kids and want a clean beach and a clean pool for them to be entertained, do not stay here (see the picture of the pool, it wasn’t so much about the leaves or bugs, it was the dirty moulding tiles). The beach was very dirty, not the “picture perfect Pasikuda beach” we imagined, 4 broken and dirty daybeds around the pool, one broken wooden bench near the beach and absolutely nothing else to do.
Despite the “resort” facilities, the room was actually nice and comfortable, some general maintenance and upgrades would make the rooms better, such a as the tap in the bathtub, so slow we could not fill up the tub. Staff are nice and do their best, obviously not their fault this hotel needs a total upgrade. Oh the food was very good.
