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.).

United StatesThe mattress was a bit hard as were the loungers on the beach. I did notice that the cushions for the beach loungers were the same as for the property next door, which I think belonged to a Sheraton so this may be what's available in the area.
The breakfast was delicious. I was able to pre-order the night before so they could ensure the had what I wanted and it was freshly prepared. I also ate dinner at the property which was equally delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and the owner came to check on things daily.

United KingdomLovely Hotel, facing the beach. The owner, Pujeet is a wonderful host. Looked after us very well. The Manager Tushar is also very good accommodated all our needs. The hotel is virtually on the beach and not crowded so it almost felt like we had our own private beach. Loved it all.

United KingdomWe stopped off here on our way to the airport and we are very glad we did. It is perfectly located right on a beautiful beach with the waves crashing all around. The team were full of smiles and very helpful - they took our dinner order (my wife is vegan) and then went to the market to buy fresh produce. It is a simple place, but all the better for it.

United KingdomAmazing location right on the beach. Lots of outdoor seating and hammocks and swings to soak up the view! Sea was powerful but nice to swim in if you were careful and are a confident swimmer. There are strong waves and currents too. The food was delicious- seafood so fresh. The staff warm and welcoming, very friendly. Bed very large and comfortable and shower powerful once we got the hang of it! The owner even took us to a nearby turtle sanctuary where we learnt about the turtles and saw various ages. We were able to release some into the ocean near the hotel!

GermanyWish we could still be there now!
This place his a true gem, to the extent we stayed longer than originally planned. The owner is a true gentleman who does his utmost to ensure you have a great stay. We loved everything at this place; the room, the restaurant, every member of staff we met were so pleasant and really kind to our little boy. The proximity to the beach and the view from the balcony was just the best, a real slice of paradise and I wouldn't hesitate to return here, true 10/10.

FinlandNothing to add.
This place is like a little slice of paradise. Quiet, private, excellent service, excellent food. Beach is amazing and easily accessed from the private yard. Sea is rough but warm. Rooms were big and clean, and there is no way to have a better view. One day we even spotted a turtle laying eggs in front of the hotel 😀 Food was really good, the sauces were tasty. We even had lobster one night, one of the best dishes I have ever eaten. I want to give special thanks to Thusbar (sorry of I write name incorrectly) and the staff for always taking care of our needs with a smile. In case you want to indulge yourself with massage, there is a great place nearby. You ask from the manager who is always also there to help. All in all, we could have not asked a better start for our holiday.

United KingdomThat we only had 4 nights - could have stayed much longer.
Fabulous large clean room and bathroom with superb balcony overlooking the beautiful Kosgoda beach. The owner and staff were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. Comfy sun loungers and swing chairs to sunbathe or watch the sunset. Nice small pool to cool off in. Cosy restaurant and bar in the garden. A++

This hotel is absolutely nice, rooms are very big and comfortable, everything is clean, staff is doing a really good job, breakfast is good, food is good, location is good, two steps from the beach, you can have a nice walk on the beach. supermarket 10mins away walking, souvenirs shop, but if you look for a crowded place, with many restaurants or bars , its not, you go to kosgoda for relaxing and being almost “alone”. So now special thank to our man, Thushara, the caretaker, he is absolutely kind and always here if you need something, i think its the best guy i have met in 1 month in SL. so kind, so professional. thank you my friend. we will surely come back just to see you because you were a great encounter. this place absolutely worth the visit if you want calm and relaxing beach not far from Colombo.

The Pleasure has been my favourite place in Sri Lanka. this small hotel is so peaceful, in such a beautiful location with the beach at your feet, but a nice big garden with hammocks and chair swings. The rooms are spacious, quiet, with balconies. the food is great. However the thing that makes this place special is the people. They cannot do enough to make your stay the best you could ask for, they’re always there and smiling and ready to help. In addition they clearly care about the environment and the nature around them. If I didn’t have a time limited visa I think I wouldn’t have left!

Beautiful location, hotel has 3 rooms, so the 6 of us had the place to ourselves. The property is on the beach, so you can walk across the garden straight onto the beach. Rooms are large and clean. Staff are polite and attentive. Bentota is 15 minutes away, 1500 rupees by Tuk Tuk, Pier 88 is a good place for food.
