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.).

United KingdomWe loved our stay at this beautiful cabana right on the beach. The location is perfect—peaceful yet within walking distance to other restaurants and beach bars. **Highlights:** ✔ **Fantastic food** – One of the best restaurants in the area, both in quality and service. ✔ **Attentive & friendly staff** – Always happy to help, whether beach bed mattresses or fresh beach towels. ✔ **Super clean & high-standard amenities** – From quality beach beds to premium coffee (made with a proper Italian machine!), tea cups, cutlery, and much more. ✔ **Stunning ocean views** – The spacious balcony with comfortable chairs was the perfect spot to relax, listening to the waves at night. If you’re looking for a tranquil yet well-located getaway with top-notch service, this is the place! **Definitely recommend.**

United KingdomWonderful week spent here after travelling. Ali and Kapi the owners are so friendly and helpful. We had some great chats . The cabanas are spacious and spotlessly clean - the bed super comfy! Air con great. The staff are brilliant - work tirelessly and will do absolutely anything to help. Breakfast super lots of choice and service quick. Had lunches and dinner all of which were of high standard . Prawn kebabs a favourite! Location on a lovely beach at the quieter end of tangalle. Lots of other beaches nearby . Can walk to many beach front restaurants. Ali and team can recommend and organise trips they are super efficient . Get a scooter for a couple of days and ride out to surrounding areas . A week here with food drinks and scooter was really inexpensive for the service, location and accommodation. Please visit you won’t be disappointed

We loved our short but very sweet stay. Beautifully finished cabana in an idyllic spot, very clean and comfortable and the best bathroom so far in Sri Lanka. Great hospitality, the team go above and beyond for their guests.

Beautiful accommodation directly on the Beach. Ali, Kapi and their wonderful staff couldn’t do enough for you to make our stay special. Breakfast was amazing, big portions complimented by coffee/tea and a fresh fruit smoothie. We also had dinner one evening, it was superb and I’d highly recommend. We loved Tangalle, nice relaxed beach resort with plenty of places to explore locally.

Excellent choice of accommodation, we are so happy we booked Serenity Cabanas. The owners are a lovely couple from Sri Lanka and New Zealand, Elle and Kapila - they are always around making sure guests are ok and feel at home, in fact we felt at home. Breakfast is so delicious, staff are wonderful, we appreciate everybody’s effort, big thanks to Ravi, he is always there with a big smile, we love your sense of humour - Thank you Tharidu, for your great service. Also massive hug to the beautiful lady at the reception. Rooms are spacious, you’ll have everything you need. View outside your cabana is gorgeous, the sound of the waves at night is so soothing, you sleep like a baby on those comfortable beds. The place is clean, the level of hygiene is superb, there is a laundry service, and the owners provide tips on things to do in Tangalle. We couldn’t find a better place, thank you so much for your hospitality

NetherlandsA boutique hotel with your individual cabana on the sand, what more can you wish for? Staff was incredibly attentive and sweet, the food in their restaurant wonderful and open all day not to even mention the gentle owners of which New Zealand Abby made us feel home and at ease within no time! In my opinion this is Unanatuwa’s most personal and high end see front location.

AustraliaNothing comes to mind.
Beautiful setting at the quieter end of the beach away from the larger throngs of tourists and many loungers. All the staff and particularly Alison were a joy to deal with and chat to. They are really focused on your enjoyment and take time to check in, discuss your stay and help with any advice and transfers to other locations you may need, which they certainly did with us. Rooms were very comfortable, the beach is in front of you and the breakfasts were consistently excellent. Loved our time at Serenity Beach Cabanas. The driver they provided to our next destination (Yala) was also excellent. Thank you!
