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.).

We had an amazing time staying in this Resort. The employees were all really friendly and helpful. The beach and the pool was nice but quiet.

IndiaThe place is a little out of the main town / tourist area so tuktuks and bike rentals are more expensive, but you can get cheaper rentals in town - Uppuveli side. There are also more food options there so we did have meals at the hotel.
It's a great location, right on the beach in a quite area, perfect for soaking in the sun and enjoying time by yourself or using it as a base to explore options near around. Very comfortable room with wifi, mini fridge, ac, kettle etc - and we had three beds giving enough space for a family with kids. Breakfast is good, and staff helpful in arranging transport or connecting you for activities as needed. We went diving with Poseidon Diving in Nelaveli and they were great.

Sri LankaThis was our second visit to this hidden gem of a small resort, and it was even better this time. Rooms are simple, clean and with basic amenities. Each room is directly facing pristine beach. Plenty of options to have meals either in the garden infront of the rooms or in thier small restaurant. Food was so yummy and also generous portions.

Canadathe beach in front of the property was cleaned by the staff but the rest of the beach was sadly full of plastic. We booked for two days ended up staying six days and would have stayed longer if we had the time to do so.

Beachfront location- what is there not to like like. Beach was clean and easily accessed with outdoor shower for a rinse off before returning to our room. Scrumptious breakfast and great staff who looked after us so well. The pool was deliciously cool and room a good size with working air conditioning and fan.

CanadaAt first the place seemed à bit basic but it grew on us as it was very clean and the owner knows what travellers want in terms of basics as well as little things : good internet , , good reading light, ample plugs, etc etc.
As the owner said, this is not your 5 star hotel. But if you are looking for quiet, tranquility, good swimming, lovely staff and fresh seafood, hanging out with a good book, this is a great place..Nice to have the pool as back up as well. It is easy to ask for a tuk tuk to go into town for some busy time, which we did. But once was enough.(.the restaurants geared to tourists there matches those at home.) It was nice though to see Trinco beach. Be aware, as with most Sri Lankan beaches, plastics wash up to the beaches in their "off season" and the hôtels do their best to collect these mainly off shore offerings.

United KingdomLoved it all.
The place was as described, itemised and photographed, you got what they said you would. The views from the chalet rooms were perfect, the beach empty, a few outside showers by the fence after being on the beach or in the sea is lovely. Beach/pool towels a bonus. Room had kettle, teabags, coffee, fan, a/c, bedside lamps, wardrobe that did not smell mouldy, 2 clothes dryer racks etc The food was really good, some items a little different which was delightful and good value too. The manager and all the staff are totally wonderful. The owners/whoever hired them youve found some really super people to work here. Kind, thoughtful and nothing is too much trouble. There were a few local shops and its a quiet area to walk around. For more beach restaurants, shops, stores they are about 10 minute drive. Beware Some cafes/restaurants on the beach are expensive. I am pleased they don't clean the room and change bedding/towels daily - totally unnecessary and if that's what you want, go to a 5* hotel and pay a lot more!

United StatesBungalows could use a little renovation, beds were not the most comfortable, small dead bugs kept falling from the ceiling onto our pillows but this can probably be resolved with some additional cleaning. Beach is great but not the best in the area. Getting to Nilaveli, Uppuveli, or Trinco town takes about 15-20 minutes by tuktuk and the cost adds up.
Proximity to the private beach is unbeatable. Bungalows all situated with an ocean view. Quiet and relaxing. Good value for money.
