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.).

Beautiful resort close to the town center (tuk tuk ride 2 minutes). It is located at the beach and has large swimming pool, water is warm and clean. There is pool bar as well so you can enjoy the cold Lion beer ;) Stuff is excellent. We really enjoyed our stay.

The resort was tricky to find at first but so worth the effort! We had such a great stay that we decided to extend our stay there .. the staff were terrific and could not have been more helpful. The room was spacious, clean and had a great view of the resort and ocean. The breakfasts were a great start to the day!

United KingdomThe hairdryer lacked any power. (Take your own) Wi-Fi in room very slow, bit a bit better in the bar area. They put on a big new year's eve party which was great, but lots of plastic cups, straws etc left on the beach, even though they did 'clean up' after party.
Beautiful location on a stunning beach, not crowded. Short walk to the beach bars in Tangalle. We had a large room with large walk in shower, big comfortable bed and good air conditioning. We had a terrace overlooking the jungle, so saw lots of birds, squirrels etc. Mini fridge in room. Breakfast was good, and the staff in the restaurant were friendly and helpful. The pool bar staff, Kavindu and Chalani were lovely, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Beach towels available.

FranceUpon entering the hotel, we thought it was modern and newly built. But it was even more amazing than we had imagined. Our room, facing the lagoon, was perfectly clean and fully furnished with minimal touches. What made it even more attractive was watching the lagoon birds fly by. We spent about an hour in the free canoe. Afterwards, I can highly recommend the massages at the spa, which were the best I have ever had. There is a snooker table and bar downstairs, and a short distance between the hotel building and the ocean, there is a beautiful and large "infinity" swimming pool with a second bar, directly at water level. The staff are very kind and friendly but always respect their own privacy. We would definitely be happy to spend a few more days here if we return to Tangalle.

Wi-Fi available on the whole area, when I reported the problem once, it was immediately resolved. The food is delicious. Prices same as anywhere else. Lovely dogs very happy to see you. I can honestly say that this was the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Russia- The personal was very slow, almost no one understood English. - There were a lot of dogs on the territory, which inconvenienced us by trying to steal food straight from the plates, and the staff did not even react. - The prices in the hotel restaurant are quite high. - there is no safe, TV, electric kettle and tea/coffee in the room (this is not a claim: this is a two-star hotel and there are no such facilities in the description, but just keep this in mind).
- The hotel is located on the very shore of the ocean. - A large swimming pool. - The grounds, the hotel and the room were clean. - The building and the room where we lived are quite new. - We were given a better room than we had booked. - A pleasant tuk-tuk driver, which was ordered for us at the reception. - Note: Google Maps shows very few restaurants around, but in fact there are many cozy, cute restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

South AfricaNothing more to add.
The hotel is paired with its immediate neighbour next door, under the same ownership. They operate as one complex, sharing facilities. The one unit has the reception, main restaurant and chalet rooms next to the beach. The other is a characterless hotel building with a pleasant pool separating it from the beach. We were offered the choice. Prices were the same. For us it was a no-brainer. The location of the chalets is great. The beach is very pleasant but swimming was definitely not safe. Maybe it was a bad couple of days, or the wrong time of year. We were not over-impressed with the restaurant, which was also quite pricey.

ItalyIt's a little far from the town but this also makes it a peaceful and silent location, that it's often not the case with other accommodations nearer to the central area. Anyway tuk tuks are always easily available. Also, in all Tangalle, swimming in the sea can often be dangerous, due to strong currents. But the hotel's swimming pool compensate this very well
This brand new hotel is a spin-off of the longstanding Ganesh Garden Beach Cabanas that's just beside and it seems as if it's tought to accommodate the customers who like an hotel room better than a cabana. The sea-view room where we have been was perfectly clean and full furnished with a minimalist touch. Down in the hall there's a snooker table and the bar and, in the short distance between the hotel building and the ocean, a beautiful and big sized "infinity" swimming pool with a second bar, this one directly at water level. The staff is very kind and friendly but always respectful of one's own privacy. If we will happen to come back in Tangalle we'll definitely be happy to spend some more days here.
