How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewSuper friendly people! We felt at home for our entire stay. Breakfast was good and tasty. Room was extremely clean and we loved our little 4 legged dog friend Max. If you don't pet him, he'll leave you alone. If you give him attention, you will get love from him. Wifi was good as well. Bonus tip: if you love playing Padel, there is a padelclub "Tropicpadel" 1 minute from the hotel. In our 4 day stay I played 2 matches there. If you want, you can also book lessons there. Furthermore, the hotel is in a very good location from which you can see everything near unawatuna. Restaurants close by, shops close by, beach close by. If you would like to have a pool day you can book that reasonably cheap at Araliya beach club which is also on 1 minute walking distance.

Verified reviewVery nice place located close to many restaurants, souvenir shops etc. Beaches are within walking distance. The room was clean with nice stylish decorations, there were some flower leaves put on the bed, sink, tables, chests which made a nice atmosphere. Good breakfast. The staff was very helpful. They arranged a transport to the airport much cheaper than what we found using Pick Me app. I can recommend that place🙂

Verified reviewThe manager at this place is so helpful. She helped us arrange tuk tuk and a taxi to Negombo for great price. Housing was really nice, rooms were big and modern and breakfast was served and tasty. A lot of greenery in this housing. Location is good, a few minutes from the busy main street and beach. Thank you!

Verified reviewThis guest house is a perfect oasis in Unawatuna. It is spotlessly clean, the rooms beautifully decorated with everything you need (including a mosquito net) and set in a lovely calm tropical garden. We were well looked after by the best team (especially Gayani) who was so friendly. The breakfast was great too. Highly recommended!
The view from the front room wasn’t great due to recent building but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Everything else was perfect.

Verified reviewThe room was super nice and smelled really really good. The breakfast was super good too.
We did not like it that we hired a tuktuk with them. I specified if the price she was telling us was for the four of us and she confirmed. When we got to our destination the drivers told us it was the price for one tuktuk…. Then we had to pay double the price she told us. We came back to the hotel for less than the half we paid to get to the beach. They were not helpful at all in this aspect

Verified reviewNice villa with a few rooms to rent. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we also used laundry service which was very quick. Location is good, close to the central beach and also within walking distance from the Jungle beach - no need to use tuk tuk, you can have a nice walk through the jungle with great views. The villa was very comfortable with a pleasant garden when we had breakfast every morning. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable. The AC was doing a great job!
Noise from the street was a bit disturbing, particularly at night. The lighting in the room was a bit dim and probably I'd have one more mirror in full size.

Verified reviewNice,quite modern hotel in a beautiful garden,rooms are hudge,bathroom is also nice and clean with hot water and strong presure, Breakfast is also good and delicious.
The only one thing for us was really disaster - our room was facing the street and it was VERY VERY noisy.There were thousands of motos,tuktuks and cars passing the street and making unbelievable noise till late night.You had a feeling that you sleep on crossroad directly.And moreover - there was the bar across the street ,just in front of our room ,with loud music till midnight and later.
