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.).

BelgiumThe bedding and cleaness of the bathroom could be improved but it did not alter my experience greatly.
The location is perfect for anyone looking to relax on the beach. The hotel is across the little street (with barely traffic) from the beach and the rooms have a balcony and with view on the beach. The restaurant of the hotel is on the beach, feet in the sand. They have sunbeds there and you can spend your day lying there with a cocktail in your hand. Careful that the waves are very strong currently (in mid April). Around the hotel there are other restaurants too. Rooms were big and had AC and fan.

Right on the beach and you can hear the waves as you go to sleep. Very friendly and helpful owners. They had fresh lobster in the morning and we got it for grilled for our lunch! Slow paced beach life.

AustriaSmell in the room (a bit old and moldy), staff took a very long time for bringing the laundry back - first it didn’t dry because of the rains (fair) but then they were to busy with their restaurant. Anyways, they got them when I insisted, so no big trouble.
Perfect location, big room, comfy bed, aircon, balcony!

Great location next to the beach... free sunbeds, nice restaurant and amazing happy hour cocktails. The staff were really friendly and chatty. The room was big with a lovely view from the balcony, comfy bed and hot water in the shower. Overall great value for money and would recommend this place if you're looking for budget accommodation close to the beach and other bars/restaurants in Tangalle.

United KingdomThe hotel does not look like the photos. The bathroom in particular was very dirty. There was matted hair in the plug hole and the toilet was so stained it looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in months (probably not the case, but it’s not difficult to make it look a little better). As a result, we chose not to stay in the hotel. It is very expensive for what you get. We stayed elsewhere last minute, after leaving this hotel, which was much nicer and cost less. The bathroom window was broken so you couldn’t close it, there were a lot of mosquitos around when we were staying in Tangalle however no mosquito net was provided above the bed, so we would’ve been bitten by mozzies coming through this window. There was an ashtray on the balcony filled with previous guests cigarette ends. The lovely looking beach bar in the photos is not part of the hotel - don’t be fooled. The staff made me pay them money to leave and said they will charge my card the full amount if I write a bad review. They just kept saying it was my fault as I didn’t like the hotel, and wouldn’t acknowledge the issues I raised. I got the impression we weren’t the first people to have this experience. The hotel could make some small changes which would go a long way to improve things.
We didn’t stay at this property.
