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 KingdomThis was an absolutely beautiful place to stay that exceeded our expectations. We were a little anxious about the temperature at night but the evenings were nice and cool and we both slept well. The breakfasts (Sri Lankan) were delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately you cannot swim in the sea directly in front of the rooms but it was only a short walk to the swimming spot. We saw a lot of people complaining about the toilet/bathroom being underneath the room but we never found this to be an issue at all.

United KingdomOne thing that would be really great is the addition of a very small fridge in the room if possible, to allow guests to keep waters cold (given how hot it gets during the days here)
Incredible location, right on the amazing beach (though note that you can't swim directly in front of the hotel). Staff all exceptional, particularly Chamal who was attentive and helpful throughout my stay, so huge thanks. Drinks and food also very good - particularly loved the coconut lassi and the fresh fruit juices. The highlight is its proximity to the best spots on the beach to watch turtles laying their eggs at night, a truly magnificent sight and one not to miss in Tangalle. If you can get past the lack of swimming pool it is an ideal place to stay and unwind in Sri Lanka.

SloveniaGreat little cottages, breezy so not too hot without AC, okay breakfast (classical Sri lankan continental type), amazing beach (unswimmable though), very quiet (except crashing waves). It's the last resort before "empty quarters". Very kind staff.

FranceThe smell! At night we got this awful smell from the "lagoon" nearby which smelled more like a sewer... Not much they can do about it but I must say it was annoying. Food was slightly pricey They don't take card
The view from the restaurant is amazing! We got the garden view bungalow so we didn't have the beach view but the other ones seemed great! Our accommodation was big enough, clean and nice. Staff was incredibly helpful: I forgot my bag with our passports 2 hours from there and they helped us arrange a tuktuk to pick it up. We needed an extra bed for our daughter and they brought a small bed right away. They were always super friendly and attentive. Food was nice but portions were not huge. Overall a fantastic place!

PolandThe hut (being what it is) easily allows animals in (dont keep food inside), we had a dangerously looking spider in our bed - be aware of such possibilities. The entrance to the bathroom (hatch in the floor) a bit uncomfortable but not a big deal. Portions in the restaurant were surprisingly small (like a children meal) but we only ate there once.
Staying there feels just amazing. You can see the beach and the sea from your bed, it takes 30 seconds to get to the water. The beach was one of the nicest we've seen in Sri Lanka topped probably only by Silent Beach which is nearby). Hut is beautiful, bathroom spacious and comfortable. Sunbeds available, shower on the beach, hose to wash sand off your legs near the entrance to the hut. Restaurant - great atmosphere especially during sunset and night, pretty good drinks, prices are ok. Helpful staff.

United KingdomWe checked in for five nights and ended up staying two weeks as we loved it so much. We loved our cabana which was simple but very clean and comfortable and opened directly on to the beach. The beach was absolutely stunning, and empty most of the time. The sea directly in front of the cabanas was too rough for less confident swimmers, but there was safe swimming just five minutes walk up the beach. The food in the restaurant was delicious, especially the Sri Lankan dishes. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to help with everything we needed.

NetherlandsBeautiful and well kept cabanas, perfectly located on a gorgeous stretch of beach. The wooden cabanas had just been renovated before our arrival and were in very good condition, looking super clean and fresh, with spotless bathroom. The quiet location under the palm trees right at the beach definitely contributes to the paradise feeling. The included breakfast was copulent and very tasty. The atmospheric restaurant serves delicious food for lunch and dinner too, with eg. fresh fish and prawns, or good Sri Lankan curries. Service is very friendly and attentive. We've enjoyed every minute of our stay and regretted we had to leave. No doubt our favorite place to stay during our holiday. Highly recommendable!

United KingdomThe cabana itself is tiny; there was barely any space for us to open our luggage. Also, the bathroom is in a basement accessible via a trap door from inside the cabana... I'd be surprised if noone has got seriously hurt from falling through it, it's that dangerous. Staff weren't super friendly (although this could be because of not great English).
Cute cabana right by the beach. Beach towels were provided and the beach itself was nice (long). Breakfast was good (with a choice of western - eggs in various ways) and there was a good amount of choice for dinner.

CanadaIt looks like i'm the only one who wasn't happy with the location . Yes, the beach is beautiful, but you can't swim or even play in the water because the waves are way too strong. So basically, is there just for you to look at it. As an active person, I feel very bored after two days . There is nothing there to do except walking up and down the beach or lying down and reading your book. The bathroom is in the basement , and you have to wait the longest time for hot water.
