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.).

NetherlandsEverything was great
It is a beautiful hotel in a calm part of weligama. It is so calm that in the mornings you can spot monkeys in the trees next to the balcony. As well as squirrels , beautifully coloured birds and peacocks ! The rooms are very spacious and have a big bathroom. There's also an indoor seating part in front of the room . Breakfast is really good and healthy and can be taken on the flooting terrace while overlooking the sunrise over the river. Truly magical . Beach is only 10 min walk away. And not to forget : the beds are extremely comfortable! If asked, the owner will arrange airport transfer or other taxi services!

We enjoyed our stay here, the room is nice and spacious, the bed was really comfortable, air con worked, nice spacious bathroom. Breakfast was good and the setting was lovely - right on the river. There was water refill and we were able to use the kettle in the kitchen which was nice.

GermanyEvery room has it's own terrace with a lounger, chairs and table which is perfect to spend the hot hours of the day in the shade. Rooms are equipped with AC and fan and are spacious and cozy. Beds have a mosquito net so you can have a peaceful sleep. The beach is a little more than 5min walk from the property. We enjoyed that the guesthouse was right next to the river where we saw some birds and wildlife. Breakfast varies and is a good start for the day. We booked for one night and stayed ten, because we liked everything so much.

RussiaThe location is great. Cozy jungle garden, quiet and peaceful. A lot of shadow, good to spend time on the terrace. The room is nice and clean, spacious. The bad is comfortable, air conditioner works properly, blackout curtains. Few minutes from all the places you may wanna visit in weligama (2-7 mins by bike or 7-15 by foot). The owner and his family works there and they are extraordinary hospitable and cheerful. You literally feel the warm they share greeting you sincerely every day.

United KingdomThe location was so nice and quiet, away from all the noise of Weligama town but still close enough to get to it if you want to go to restaurants and bars. What sets this place apart is definitely the owners, a Sri Lankan family with true Sri Lankan hospitality at the heart. The Mum, dad and son who run this place are so kind and welcoming. The food is done if the best I’ve had in over 2 months in Sri Lanka besides my own family (I am half Sri Lankan!) so be sure to choose the “Sri Lankan breakfast” option in the mornings. This place is a real, authentic gem in the south coast.

HungaryAll was good, if we had problems, Ravindu helped us to solve them. My friend had a problem with ear, insurance doctor didnt help good. Ravindu recommended another one, who solve the problem and cleaned ear.
Ravindu's family are the best hosts. This place with a soul. We had amazing breakfast and had a choice between different types (local, western, bowl). Breakfast serves on the platform that is on the river with a perfect view. Monkey, birds, nature are everywhere in the garden. Each room with big terrace. We met new friends and had a great barbecue, that Ravindu cooked. Internet wi-fi is stable and its was enough for work (video conferences). Ravindu helped us a lot, thanks him, with taxi, rent motorbike and even with car rent to go to Ella and other things. You can also buy coconut right there for normal price. And after they can cut it for white pieces that inside. We stayed in this place everytime when we returned back to Weligama and it was the best choice. The location is good to beach 7 min, and close to supermarket and fruits point. Fridge is not in every room, but you can use main big fridge on the first floor.

United KingdomNothing. It was perfect.
Luvi Lucas is in the most beautiful & amazing setting next to the river. The photos dont do it enough justice. You even have monkeys swinging through the trees next to your balcony, 2 very cheeky dogs and lots of other wildlife coming ang going from this perfect river setting. There is a floating dining area as well. The place is everything that you could ask for. The hosts are really really friendly and they cannot do enough to help you. Lovely people!!! Its a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 5-10 minute walk or 2 mins on a scooter (hired at the apartment for £3.50 a day) to the town. Restaurants are within walking distance for the evening or you can eat at the apartment. There is nothing at all to fault Luvi Lucas. Perfect!!!

This has been one of the best guesthouses we have stayed in over the last 1.5 months in Sri Lanka. The room is really spacious, and also has a big bathroom and a terrace which faces directly onto a really nice garden and with a view of the river. The family that run it are absolutely lovely - kind, friendly and genuine. We loved the breakfasts. There are three options but we always chose the smoothie bowl option with banana + papaya or banana + pineapple smoothie, as it was a delicious and healthy way to start our day. We also had veg curry for lunch, which was very tasty and good value. We hope we'll be able to come back here, as we felt totally at home.

SwitzerlandWhen we arrived, half of the lights were not working. They repaired it quickly but it's something which should be checked before we arrive. It would be great if the host propose a few drinks from the fridge. As they have a restaurant as well, I was expecting to be able to order a beer or a drink. But it was not possible.
The location along the river is really great. We had one of the room at the 1st floor. They are bigger and newer than those on the ground floor. The view from the Terrasse is better as well. You can choose different breakfast which is great. But it's not big. Just enough to start the day!
