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.).

GermanyVery nice accommodation with friendly hosts. The Sea Breeze Garden is a family business who offers a great stay with delicious authentic Sri Lankan food (particularly rice and curry!). They were very nice and helped us a lot with the organization of our trip such as renting a scooter and ideas for activities. It's close to the silent beach that contains some beach bars and beach beds but it's still natural. We would definitely recommend the place.

GreeceA wonderful homestay, right by the water: you can literally walk barefoot from your room to the beach. The room was cozy and comfortable and all you could hear at night were the waves breaking on the shore. The homestay is run by Viraj, who, together with his lovely family and his assistant Indiga, will go beyond their ways to make their guests feel like at home. Highly recommended.

Its close to the beach, nice smiling family, great food. We have already stayed here once and would love to come back, mainly because of the landlady and the location. The accommodation is modest, but clean and extra clean beds, great location and pleasant owners, you don't need anything else. You're at the beach all day anyway.

GreeceEverything was more than perfect❤️
Tharu is an angel, her smile lightens up every day. I was so lucky to visit her small paradise. She speaks perfectly English and i had wonderful deep conversatins with her.. She makes wonderful food and fulfills all wishes with the warmest smile that reminded me of Julia Roberts in pretty woman. She also organised a private boat tour with a local fisherman. I had such an amazing, peaceful time The lush nature around is energising and at night the mumbeling of the small river makes your float in your dreams, my sleep there was so relaxing and deep. You have to cross the neighbouring resort to get to the most beautiful paradise beach i have seen in Sri Lanka. At night the place lights up with sparkling stars and many fireflies. It is like living in a dream. I am already dreaming about coming back💥🌴😍 Don't miss it 💗❤️🌴🌴🌴⛱️🌅🌊🌊🌴🌴🌊🌴💥💥💥

United KingdomI had a great time at Taru's place. She and her family were very welcoming. I felt home. She was always happy to have a chat, and make some delicious meals suited for my vegan diet. The atmosphere was always relaxed. Even when we had thunder and heavy shower; and the electricity was off, I had my dinner on the table. I loved their lush garden, the quietness of the area. Foremost, I appreciated the closeness to the truly beautiful Silent Beach. I loved watching sunrises, and drinking delicious king coconuts at Still Point Beach Cafe. Without any doubt, it became one of my star places.

GermanyI can totally recommend the Sea Breeze Garden in Tangalle. The owner Tharu is the greatest cook - her cheese Kotthu and curry were incredible, she also makes a great breakfast. And it’s just a few meters from Silent beach, which is the most beautiful beach i have seen in Sri Lanka. There are also other beautiful beaches nearby (you can walk to them). If you feel like having some quiet days at the beach - this is the perfect spot. It was so nice to meet Tharu and her family.

VietnamThe room is pretty stuffy during the day if there's no aircon. The water runs slow, maybe because of the location itself. Other than that it's a great place
The room covers very basic facilities, no hot water, but is very clean and spacious, and the bed is super comfy. I also give credit for the towel provided here, nice and clean. The owner is super lovely and she cooks decent food. Senu the labrador is adorable too :) If you're looking for a walking distance place to Silent Beach, get away from touristy beaches, and immerse yourself in nature, this place is perfect for you.

NetherlandsI booked Sea Breeze because i want to be as close as possible to Silent Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of Sri Lanka. It's just a 50m walk. Sea Breeze only has 3 rooms and it has their own restaurant. Room is fine with airco. The family who hosts this stay is really friendly and try to do everything to make your stay as best as possible. Really in love with their one year old labrador dog Senu.

At this price level it’s completely acceptable that the mattress is a bit on the thinner side and the room is very simple - the place has got everything you need and the family feeling gives you a wonderful local experience. It’s the closest place to the beach, only a 2 minute walk. We will definitely here again!!!
