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.).

AustraliaNo AC, plenty of fans and breeze though.
Very new, simple and clean accomodation in a very convenient and quiet location. Surf right out the front and more surf just down the road, surfboard hire, cafes and restaurants in sight. Very welcoming staff.

PolandI'm really happy about my stay at The Stables, they hotel is newly opened - whole building is newly renovated, fresh and clean. Rooms are spacious with very nice raw minimalistic design and big windows. The building is just in front of Rams surf break, so you can watch surfers from your balcony (and bed) if you book the seaview rooms. It's close to everywhere, 5 min walking to Lazy Right and to Plantations surf breaks. The staff is very friendly and helpul. There is also a very cool and spacious roof top where I was doing my workouts! Highly recommend when staying in Midigama!

GermanyI had such a nice stay at The Stables! The staff are very welcoming and gave me good recommendations about surf spots, beaches, restaurants, cafés, etc. which was really helpful. My room was modern and very comfortable and had an amazing view of the ocean and the surf! Directly in front of The Stables is Rams, one of the advanced surf spots along the south coast. I'm not good enough to surf there but perfect spot to check the waves and watch the surf! And close by are more surf spots I could surf, so perfect location! Also, a bunch of restaurants are next door, which made it easy to get good coffee and breakfast in the morning before the surf.

United KingdomNothing. It was perfect
Location is really good, right next to the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. They are sipping right outside, or about five minutes down the road there is one of the main surfing beaches. Also they arranged a scooter so I could explore the island. Really amazing value for money.

GermanyBest spot in Midigama! I absolutely loved staying here. My room and bathroom were both clean and the bed was super comfy. I especially loved the mosquito nets on the hanging frames and the extra standing fan in your room which was a great touch to stay cool at night. The views over the ocean and the surf spot Rams is amazing. Location is great, within walking distance to several other great surf spots and restaurants. the staff here were very friendly and attentive!

SwedenA home away from home! 💜💜💜 A new fresh hotel at the best spot in Midigama. Me and my friend had an amazing stay here, it was our home away from home. Everyone from the cleaning staff, to the receptionist and the owners are amazing people who will have you feel right at home. It was 1000% the best place we stayed at during our 2 months in Sri Lanka and we even extended our stay to 3 weeks because it was so perfect! 💜💜💜 And perfect for surfers -> right across from Rams and 5 min walk to Plantations, Lazy Left, Lazy Right & Coconuts. 🥥 Short 5 min ride to Gas Station. Best breaks in the south of Sri Lanka.

GermanyPerfect stay in the loveliest location of whole of Sri Lanka in my opinion. Folks just opened up the place this season and it’s remarkable. Literally across the street from my favourite surf spot Rams. Rooms are spacious and very clean. The huge rooftop terrace is perfect for star-gazing. Everybody is very welcoming and speaks perfect English. 10/10 recommendation if you want to check out the surf in Midigama/Weligama in a chill environment. As an added extra there will be some holy cows visiting the garden ❤️

United KingdomThe room was a bit shabby. Now I have nothing in the area to compare it to, but I paid a little extra because I thought I'd get a little extra... but I arrived and there were bugs all over my bed. No air-con, which would've been fine I suppose but it scorching hot and made sleeping at night uncomfortable. A vaguely sewer-y smell from the basic bathroom. Worst was that you HAVE to have your windows open (the aforementioned no-aircon) at night, and just up the road is a nightclub that for many (although not all!) evenings it pumped out the crappest club music ever, all through the night. Not this place's fault, though worth bearing in mind. I also only saw the guy who runs the place exactly once. The downstairs bit wasn't open early in the morning, or past about 20.00 at night. It was all just... very ok.
Location great, right on the beach and Midigama is one of the quieter beaches in this stretch, so this was an equally quiet little spot in an new-ish building. The roof was nice for sunrise, although it doesn't feel setup to have people up there yet, which seems like a shame. Room overlooked the water, which was great, and I had good communication with the place before my arrival with no trouble getting into my room.

DenmarkWhile the rooms were nice, the downside was the heat; it was uncomfortably hot, making it difficult for us to get a good night's sleep.
The staff at this place were incredibly friendly and helpful. The view was amazing, and being within walking distance of several great surf spots was a big plus.
