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.).

MoldovaN/A Nothing to say about the pool since I didn’t use it (((
Small resort with beach front. Rooms are spacious, so is the bathroom, which needs a little renovation (might be like that because we came end of season - lit last days of it). Beds are wide and comfortable with clean bedsheets. Superior rooms have an amazing view over the sea/ocean. The waves can be easily heard - ocean symphony. Amazing breakfast, despite the fact that I was having the same every day, toasted bread with local butter and jam and the big pot of Sri Lanka coffee. I have to mention that the food at their restaurant is delicious, compared to many others - so don’t hesitate to try along with the local beer or any other cocktails during the happy hour. Beach is clean but not possible to swim, but the view is amazing (daytime, sunset). If speaking about the staff, I have to thank Mr Kumara who helped me get my luggage since was lost at the airport and he helped with all the paperwork even the calls to the airport, very careful, attentive to details, not only with regards to this case but in general. The staff is wonderful, always there when needed, attentive and polite. Security available at night, very polite gentleman.

QatarThe only disappointment was the water pressure and not much hot water.
Right on the beach which is amazing to watch and listen to the waves. Also right on the beach to walk along. Nice quiet part of the road. Room was wonderful, comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the setting was stunning. Sitting on the balcony watching the waves and ocean is so calming.

Great location a little away from the busy hub around Main Point but still only a short 5-10min stroll along the beach for great surf and restaurants. Great food at onsite restaurant. Attentive staff.

United KingdomThe location is part of a strip of hotels and Hikkaduwa is a very busy touristy town.
The food was exceptional, best breakfasts that we had in Sri Lanka. The beach was beautiful and we were able to swim in the sea although it was always quite rough. The bed was very comfortable with lovely bedding!

New ZealandIt was all good!
Lovely, spacious suite, great terrace with amazing views and garden! Staff were very attentive and kind, even organised my surfboard to be fixed overnight after getting damaged during transport... Perfectly placed just outside the madness, but still an easy walk to the main surf spots and restaurants! We had a lovely stay, thank you!
