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.).

SwitzerlandThere’s no fridge in the room.
The view from the rooftop was great and the food/drinks up there were delicious! The staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room was overall clean and with a nice balcony. Just be conscious about the fact that it is not in the center. Anyway by walking or tucktuck you can reach the beach within a few minutes.

IsraelLocation: The hotel is located in the western part of Weligama, a very quiet place, there is not much to do around here. There isn’t a refrigerator on the room. The wifi didn't work that well. Maybe there was a reception problem while we were in the area.
Restaurant on the roof of the hotel: amazing restaurant! Suitable for meals throughout the day. The hotel's breakfast is also served here - a large selection of meals. very very tasty. I recommend coming even without having to stay at the hotel. Hotel staff: The hotel staff is lovely! Helped with anything we asked or asked. Everyone is smiling and kind. Room: A room with an amazing view of the forest. Very comfortable bed. The hotel has laundry services that cost 1,000 rupees for 1 kg of laundry.

United KingdomBreakfast wasn't to my liking but it's alacarte with lots of options. Dogs barking next door woke me every day about 2am. You pay in rupee and they convert from the currency you book with via booking.com I.e dollars. I queried the exchange rate they applied and when the receptionist checked the online rate it was better so My bill was reduced, she apologised but if I hadn't been aware of the rate I'd have been overcharged.
Spacious room, hot shower, good aircon and WiFi. Close to Weligama beach and town. Hotel has motorbikes for rental.

United KingdomAfter having our room cancelled on arrival at the Good Karma Hotel due to owner wanting us to pay in advance in to an Estonian account (Latvian/Russian bad management team)which i wouldn't do, it really was a lucky escape after reading the negative reviews on other sites which are very informative. After the lucky escape we came across this hotel which is just a few mile down the road in a better location with lots going on around it. Excellent Sri Lankan management. Quiet hotel even though your not far from lots of entertainment. Very attentive staff. Good size rooms with all the mod-cons, excellent air-con, comfortable beds and a powerful rainforest shower, and everything extremely clean, what more could one ask for. The food at the rooftop Bar/restaurant was extremely good and well priced and so were the drinks. Brilliant views of the sea and jungle in the other direction. If your in the area this is definitely the place to stay, we extended our stay as we liked the area and the hotel.

GermanyWhen taking a shower, almost the whole bathroom floor got wet. This was annoying but happened in every accommodation we had during our 3 week Sri Lanka trip, though. Otherwise, bathroom is lovely!
Great accommodation! Very quiet, spacious room, balcony and bathroom. Roofterrace is also an amazing spot for breakfast while enjoying the view on Weligama bay and the jungle.

CyprusThe only problem I had is the same problem I have everywhere I visit. There was too much light coming into the room in the morning. My suggestion as always would be to install blackout blinds. Also, I would suggest installing some kind of clothesline on the balcony of the rooms to dry out wet swimsuits, towels, and clothes.
The breakfast was exceptional. There are plenty of options and all of them were delicious. The breakfast includes free coffee, free juice of the day, and a free choice from the breakfast menu. We had lunch and dinner on many occasions at the hotel and everything we tried was very good! Their cocktails are also nice! The hotel also has a power generator which is a blessing for times when the power goes out (this is common in Sri Lanka). The staff were all super nice, always with a smile, and willing to assist with our requests. The AC worked perfectly and in my opinion is a must in Sri Lanka in order to get a good night's sleep. The bathroom was modern, with warm water and particularly good water pressure. The room was always clean. The view from the rooms and rooftop restaurant/bar were very nice. In case I visit again, I will return to Scenic Bay Weligama.

AustraliaThe location is only a short walk to Weligama main break but other beaches were more to our liking like Mirissa and Ahangama. Tuk tuks are cheap though so the location is not a major drawback unless you want that beachside feel. We stayed during a quiet time but if the rooftop bar was busy it would be a great place to have a beer.
Modern room, very cool rooftop bar, do a great breakfast.

Germany- Nothing! Everything was simply perfect!
This was by far the best accommodation we had in Walegama/Sri Lanka! Staff was super friendly and welcoming, always happy to help and making sure, we had the best time here. The rooms are huge, super clean and come with the most spacious and comfortable beds. Food was amazing!! For the breakfast included you‘ll have a bunch of options, accompanied with coffee/tea and freshly squeezed juices. I can highly recommend the French Cinnamon toast! Location is perfect- a 3min walk to the beach and just minutes away by tuktuk from other destinations, cool Cafes and restaurants and many different beaches. Also, there‘s a great rooftopbar and restaurant, where you can catch the sunset. I highly recommend this place!!
