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):
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.).

FranceThe property clearly needs some upkeep and renovation, the buildings are showing their age, same thing for the rooms. For a resort that size, having a dedicated kids or games room would be a real plus.
Great beach access, very kind and attentive staff, especially housekeeping (lavaneetham) and at the restaurant (Siva). We had a wonderful stay

United KingdomEvening food was ok but not amazing. They would only set up one extra bed so for a family of 4 we had to have 1 child in our bed, luckily it was a big bed but it would have been better to have two extra beds.
Huge bed, easily slept 3 of us in. Good selection for breakfast. Beautiful beach, enjoyed watching the fishmen bring in their fish. Lovely pool.

United KingdomI was personally very disappointed we went to the hotel for 5 nights arriving late for one and leaving super early after last night, so 4 whole days. I received a text hours before arriving that one of our rooms had a technical issue, and so my grown up 2 children did not get their Twin Deluxe Beach Chalet I booked in advance, instead a twin higher room the opposite end of the hotel, we were told premium, but just not the same as booked, finally they did get last 3 nights but under 2 days next to me in a double bed, but sort of lost the joy of being side by side, which was a shame. My room also had a bathroom infestation of ants each day, no idea why (their room luckily did not), but the staff did come in each day and sweep them away. We were given a buffet dinner one evening, my daughter was not well so it was just two of us, better than nothing I suppose.
Location is fantastic, it was also nice not to have locals selling their wares whilst you were on the beach. Breakfast was a great array of interesting continental and local cuisine, great to have fresh egg hoppers every morning. The locale was also very good for trying out local restaurants for lunch and or dinner. The staff were all very helpful with any requests. The beds in the rooms were so comfortable. Lovely pool, I can recommend the Beach Chalet Room 315, although the best are 318 I think a little closer to the sea. The Pigeon Island snorkel tour was fun too

NetherlandsService not in line with expectations, rooms don’t get cleaned only after asking at 1430, while cleaning request was there already. Main course served without rice or anything else , because they don’t serve rice . No rice in Sri Lanka????? I was advised to pick something else as they refused to make rice. Unbelievable Breakfast takeaway for $17 is a rip off. Cinnamon you know how to do this in Yala. We had dark green uneatable bananas included So if you want to play top of the league make sure things add up. Lot to improve
Great location on the vibrant beach strip. Beautiful pool and nice beach front. We had a nice and spacious room with a nice garden outside. Good breakfast.

United KingdomI think there could have been more choice of food for European children - but they definitely didn't go hungry. And I would suggest that they invest in a trained bird of prey to keep the crows away!
Location was brilliant pool and beach right by each other. Also a short walk along the beach to a number of different restaurants and bars. The staff were super friendly and helpful, rooms clean and well maintained and the air con absolutely perfect.

United KingdomOn our last day, there was a corporate event from 6pm to 11pm with exceptionally loud music that made our room vibrate and unable to use our balcony or hear our TV. It spoilt dinner also as it was difficult to hear each other. Numerous requests to reception finally resulted in the volume being lowered but then it would rise again. We weren’t informed of the event until an hour into the event and two complaint phone calls to reception. Check in advance if there are such events during your stay-had we known, we would have chosen an alternative hotel.
Excellent location, beautiful beach and pool area. Food very good and staff extremely friendly.

United KingdomWe stayed in standard double rooms for two night. I would not rate those 4/5 star standard. The rooms in general are a bit old and rundown. The showers and toilets are not very clean. Yellow marks on the corners of the showers and in the toilets (hidden corners and under the seat). The toilet next to front lobby was really rundown, needs urgent attention. The buffet meals are okay but could improve the quality/ taste. For example, the desert selection was great and appealing but some didn’t taste that great. We also stayed at the Cinnamon Lodge Habarana. The buffet meals there, were far better - the variety, taste and everything.
The location and the setting is beautiful. One if the best beaches we’ve been to in Sri Lanka. We really like the way that all rooms have a sea view. The beach chalets are nice.

Canada- The suite's washroom had a bad odor from time to time - There are way too many crows in the area but not sure what the hotel can do about that
We stayed at Trinco Blu for two nights and had a truly memorable experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the beach views were absolutely breathtaking. We were lucky with the weather too - visiting during peak season in the North Eastern region of Sri Lanka meant sunny skies and calm, pool-like ocean waters. A special mention goes to the front office staff, who were incredibly supportive when my partner wasn’t feeling well. They promptly arranged for the on-call doctor to visit our room. The doctor was professional, attentive, and prescribed the necessary medication. Despite being under the weather, my partner was able to enjoy the stay thanks to the excellent room service and the staff’s thoughtful care. I'd especially like to thank Rohan (Front Office Manager), Sithara (Guest Services Manager), and team members Murali, Prem, and Ravi for going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly stood out. We’ll definitely be back! 😊

United KingdomThe sunbeds under the trees on the beach need regular cleaning as many have bird poop on them - ideally they would be wiped down each morning.
The beach location was lovely - a quiet part of the beach but with various bars and restaurants within a short walk. The area is currently very unspoilt which was lovely but i suspect it won't stay that way for long which is a shame.
