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 KingdomComfortable, spacious room & bathroom in a good location for walking to Hiriketiya beach. Overall we had a good 3 nights stay (Oct ‘23) but there are some points to note: - the owner lost his login to booking.com so wasn’t aware of our booking, we found his WhatsApp number & contacted before arrival - owner was away for our stay, we were helped to check in with directions etc by a couple who rent there long term who were v helpful. Owners parents also living at the house who tried to be helpful, brought us a welcome drink which was sweet - they speak very little English so used google translate to communicate - no wifi - no hot water - Owners parents suggested we needed to pay extra for electricity but nothing came of that - shared kitchen not really available for us to use as long term renters used the upstairs kitchen as their own. We asked for use of a fridge and were able to use the parents fridge which was ok but had to walk through their house to get to it. Also they drank one of our sodas and refilled it with water (lol) Don’t want to knock this place with a low rating as we think if the owner was around it would be a great place to stay & assume he will be back in the future for high season but felt these things should be called out to anyone looking to book around the same time as us.

Sri LankaThe place is Excellent, because of many reasons. Cleanliness is good / silent and calm environment / High privacy / Humble and Truthful owners. Highly Recommend for a family. They have a small Kitchen also where you can prepaire your own food. Also they provide moter bicycles acording your requirement which is resonable price.

New ZealandWe booked for a short stay and ended up staying here almost one month! It is one of the best places to stay in Hirikiteya! The family are wonderful people and make the stay so special. The room is almost brand new – super modern, clean with a really comfortable bed. The location is a five-minute walk from the beach and is a really quiet and calm spot.

Czech RepublicAccomodation is beautiful, everything is new and clean. Beach is 7 min. but for us it was perfect place becouse it was quiet and calm. We really loved the garden, perfect view. The food is absolutly amaizing, we really enjoy home-made food. Sachi and his mum create familial atmosphere and they did everything for our satisfaction including washing our clothes! Our plan was stay just 4 nights but we stayed two nights more, becouse we didnt want to leave. We will come back for sure. I can recommend this accommodation for 100%. :)

SpainThe house was super nice, with a full new kitchen and very beautiful terrace where you can enjoy the sunset. The bed was incredibly comfortable and big. It is really quiet and peaceful because it is not on the main road but it was still easy to get to town and the beach. Sachi was super helpful with everything and it helped make the stay even better. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!
