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.).

NetherlandsSuch a cute accommodation. The cabin is spacious and fully equipped. We loved waking up with the sun on our faces, to relax on the balcony hidden between the leaves and the quietness. The host was very friendly, made a delicious breakfast and even provided a breakfast to go on the day of the check out.

PolandI really recommend the sky view cabin in Unawatuna 😃 The place was clean, comfortable and it was really good idea to build cabin in this style. I really enjoyed the time I’ve spent there. Owner was extremely friendly and his wife made excellent and tasty food. The owner also invited us to the museum where he told us the history of Sri Lanka. It was very interesting💕

IndiaSince the place is quite cosy we kept bumping our heads while climbing up the stairs. But if you’re careful it’s not a problem.
One of the best finds in Unawatuna. Our very kind and helpful host gave us a very local experience of our first stop in Sri Lanka. The breakfast was great and the whole deal felt like a steal with the amount of effort that was taken to make sure it matched our tastes. He even went out of his way to find us details about our transport after the stay to make our travels easier. It gives the mixed feeling of a small humble homestay with the aesthetic of a cute wooden cottage. The place is cosy so if you love that kind of vibe go for it. One tip would be, if you’re a small eater, tell the host in advance as he makes a lot of food for breakfast and an elaborate meal that might be tough to finish :)

NetherlandsWhat a great concept! We loved the small cabin, such a unique way of staying in beautiful Sri Lanka. The location is between Unawatuna and Galle Fort. If you plan to have a scooter this is a perfect in between location (+ quiet). Everything was very nearby. Also not to forget to mention the extensive breakfast! Will defiantly come back!

BelarusNice and cozy place. Hidden in the garden not far from central street. Railway station, frut spot ant tuk-tuk parking are close. The owner and his wife are kind, generous and honest people. And what wonderful breakfasts they serve!!!!! With fruits and local dishes. The owner built this cabins by himself during the coronavirus period, so everything is new and clean. We spent their 3 nights, and can recommend it for longer staying.

Awesome place. Unique cottage stay, with a nice bed, sky view and balcony on top floor and clean bathroom and a small bed in ground floor. Very good utilisation of space and all necessary items were thoughtfully provided. Excellent vegetarian breakfast provided (best spread I have seen - sandwich, shawarma, beans, fruits, toast, fruit juice, coffee, marmalade, etc). Very warm hosts, were always a call away and provided very sweet king coconut on arrival. I must comment the effort taken by the hosts and if the place is available, do book at the earliest. You will wake up to birds singing and really love the hospitality of the hosts.

United KingdomAll Good
Rokshan was a fantastic host. Super friendly and knowledgeable with a beaming smile. Happy to share this knowledge of the area and chat over breakfast. Breakfast was amazing too. Eggs, Spanish omelette, bacon and fresh paw paw and banana, Mango Juice and Passion fruit juice over the 2 days we stayed. If anything they gave us too much:). All prepared by his wife. The accommodation itself is cool. Like a little tree house as you sleep in the attic under the stars at night. Location is super handy for the train station - just a 2 min walk and a short Tuk Tuk ride from both Jungle and unawatuna beaches

LatviaJust wow - this little cabin was my favourite stay during the two-week trip across Sri Lanka. The wooden and stone design is charming and unique; the bed is super comfy, and everything was clean and new. The cabin is located close to the beach (a short walk or a tuktuk drive), but in a very quiet neighbourhood, so you can relax and get a proper sleep during the night. The yard is very beautiful with plants and flowers, and the owner is the kindest person ever. I was welcomed with a king coconut, could use the kitchen and washing machine free of charge, the home-made breakfast was scrumptious, and I got some valuable tips on what to see in Unawatuna. So yes - go and book your own little, magic cabin; you will love it, and it will make your stay in Unawatuna special! ☺️
