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.).

GermanyThe room got very hot, sometimes even hotter than the outside. There is a big fan on the ceiling and also a little fan you can put in front of your bed, which makes sleeping ok. But AC would cost more I guess. There are also monkeys which go into your room if you let the doors open and aren’t there, so be careful. Unfortunately there are many dogs on the streets who bark and howl at night, so bring earplugs. Other than that it was a very nice place to stay at.
Super nice and chill accommodation located on a hill in Hiriketiya. The room was very spacious with lots of furniture to put and hang your clothes and other stuff. The bed was very spacious as well with a nice mosquito net. There is also a balcony and you’ve got two showers in the bathroom - one for cold water, one for warm water. I really liked that there is a kitchen to use with everything you need for cooking and a big fridge and freezer. The whole place (room, hallway, kitchen) was very clean, the host cleaned everyday (not the room though if you don’t want to due to privacy) and he was very kind and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay and could relax!Will definitely come back here next time.

Czech RepublicThe road around the whole property is rather busy and therefore, rather noisy, especially at night. The front door to the rooms upstairs is at the back of the house and there is a road right there…. The size of the rooms is exagerated and so is the existence of any livable balcony.
4 rooms in total so it was really quiet in this respect. The kitchen was handy, especially the large fridge which you are going to need since the whole area is ridiculously overpriced in terms of eating out.

There's no place for such a price in Hiriketiya. 7 minutes from both Hiriketiya and Dickwella beaches to surf or swim. A fully equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking almost anything. If it's not fully booked (and it is most of the time), book a room now.

AustraliaThe kitchen wasn’t really “fully stocked” (one tiny fry pan, difficult to use stove top), but decent enough to cook an egg or some two minute noodles. Staff were lovely, but their English wasn’t great and we had to ask them for a few things when we first arrived which should have been set up in the room (soap, towels). There was a pack of dogs that had a barking party in the middle of the night 3 of the 4 nights we were there.
Pretty and large rooms with high vaulted ceilings, and nice view slightly up a hill over the trees to watch the sky change colours during sunset. Good location, under ten minute walk to the beach down a quiet backstreet. The best wifi we’ve experienced in Sri Lanka! It’s a small property so we had it to ourselves.
