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 KingdomThey could do with a few more vegan options on their food menu, but the options they had were really tasty…. Vegan milk would be appreciated!!
We LOVED it here. Easily one of the best stays of our three week trip. The room was amazing, the facilities were great and the staff were brilliant. It’s a bit out of the way, but a very short Tuktuk ride to Hiriketiya or Tangalle. They have three dogs who are also amazing company.

TurkeyThere were a few tiny lizards and the smallest frogs in the room. We informed the team, and they did their best to help by using a spray, although it didn’t make much of a difference. It wasn’t a big issue for us, but something to keep in mind. Given the hotel's location right next to the lagoon, it's quite understandable and part of the natural surroundings.
Suresh and the team were fantastic – they helped with everything and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. They organized our transfer and a safari to Yala, and patiently answered all our questions. The villa and the property were spotless and well-maintained. One of the highlights was the presence of three adorable and friendly dogs – Rocky, Roxy, and Holya – who made our stay even more special. I also enjoyed a wonderful outdoor massage with a beautiful view of the lagoon. Everything was just perfect – we truly loved our experience!

United Arab EmiratesThe only small thing was that I was hoping to join yoga classes, but since it was off-season, they weren’t available. Not really a downside - just something to keep in mind if you’re visiting during low season.
I’ve spent 2 amazing nights at Simply Peace, and let me tell you - the name truly speaks for itself, because that’s exactly how I felt throughout my stay. My villa was one of the best, with a direct view of the pool. The energy of this place is so good, and so are the people who work here - everyone is incredibly kind, proactive, and always willing to help! There are also animals who live at the resort and they are so cute! Dogs would come say hi during breakfast, and they love being pet, so don’t hesitate to give them a little love. Special thanks to Suresh and his team for organizing the sweetest birthday surprise! They brought a cake with candles and arranged a “Happy Birthday” sign and balloons - it was really thoughtful and made me feel very special 🥰 Sanjeewa - a driver who picked me up was the sweetest man too! And a big, big thank you to the therapist Dara. That was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. l walked out feeling like a brand new person and my energy felt so light and pure. I later tried a massage at another 5-star hotel in Weligama, and it wasn’t even close… plus it was 3 times more expensive! 🤡 so you should definitely book a massage during your stay!

DenmarkOn our first night, unfortunately, the place next door had a very loud party. However, they put us in the furthest room from the party, and it wasn't too much of an issue. The location is also suboptimal as there are limited places to go in the immediate adea. Otherwise, it's hard to fault it.
The rooms were clean, modern, and tastefully decorated. The pool was kept very clean and was even large enough for swimming. The gym was a little worn, and the weights were a bit dirty, but it was kitted out with all the essentials for weight training. The grounds were kept immaculate. The breakfast was good and the restaurant also had some good options. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

IrelandWow, what a truly wonderful stay at Simply Peace. The accommodation is fabulous, beautiful bungalows, pool, well equipped gym and great bar and restaurant area. But what really made this stay so memorable was the staff. I can’t praise them enough they were simply incredible. Special mention to the general manager, the boys working in the bar and a wonderful driver we had. We felt so welcome and well looked after. Food is simple and fresh and we had delicious cocktails each evening. We also had two wonderful massages. We can’t wait to come back soon to this haven on the lagoon!

United KingdomNothing! It truly is a beautiful resort.
This resort is perfection! We absoutley loved everything about this stay. The place is immaculate, clean and has great facilities (gym, pool). We had a bungalow that was well maintained and stylish. Each bungalow has a balcony with sun loungers outside, mosquito net and fridge. The pool is clean and so relaxing. The massage was the best I have had in Sri Lanka alongside the coffee! Staff are wonderful and accommodating, the resort even comes with 3 pet dogs who are always up for a pat! Cannot fault this place.

United KingdomAs a woman travelling alone with my son, I could not have felt more safe or looked after by these guys. The genuine care was so clear, actively making sure we had the right price for things. As we left, when the front desk guys saw me carrying bags they literally ran to help me! The support was generous but at no point smothering and because everything was so appropriately priced I never felt like they had another motive, they simply cared. The vibes are so good here, I worried about having my 6year old boy at a place called Simply Peace interrupting the ambiance but everyone commingled so well. The property is gorgeous and stunning value. We had a great trip to Silent beach from here

Absolut lovely place and a must if you want to have a calm and beautiful place to stay at when you travel the south of Sri Lanka. The cabines are beautiful and very clean. We really enjoyed the stay and it was the best Hotel that we stayed in during our 3 Week vacation. Special highlights for me where the following: - super clean and beautiful pool and chill area that allowed us to really calm down and get a bit of rest. - Easy driving service organised be the hotel (they have their own cars with drivers) for super fair prices. In all cases we had super good and friendly drivers and the price was never higher than PickMe, but rather lower. - General friendliness of the staff and the owner was really amazing. We did also have a special situation, as my girlfriend got bitten by a dog at a random beach in Tangalle. The second we called the owner about the situation he organised everything for us, so when we got back to the hotel everything was organised for my girlfriend to get the vaccine against rabies. He pre called the hospital, reacted super understanding and supportive and he even drove us personally to the hospital, waited for us (until we told him he did not have to) and then send a car to pick us up. All of that was completely free of charge and afterwards the whole staff was constantly asking whether everything was good and cared even more. All in all a perfect location to feel save and supported so you can fully enjoy your vacation and reload your batteries. Fully recommend 11/10

The best place we stayed at in Sri Lanka! 12/10 would recommend! The staff is super lovely, welcoming and attentive. Especially I like to point out that they are super helpful. Whatever you need - also in emergencies - they help you super quickly! Also, they have very good drivers to take you wherever you need to go for a fair price. Apart from that the hotel is absolutely stunning. It’s so calming to stay there and just enjoy nature and the pool. Everything is super well maintained, the rooms are with a lovely interior, you have everything you need and it’s all super clean. Outside there are so many cool plants and animals to watch, for example monkeys.

FranceWe should call this place “Perfect Peace”! Everything is perfect: the spacious bungalow-style rooms, both simple and stylish, set far enough apart from each other; the garden beautifully lit at night; the pool with its view of the lagoon’s birds; the fresh and delicious food; the deserted beach just a three-minute walk away, where you can swim safely while watching the colorful fishing boats waiting for their time to set sail. But above all, the smiles, kindness, and constant attentiveness of the team and the owner, who anticipate your every need, make this place truly special. Even the dignified and silent cat, the peacocks, and the little dogs are gentle, discreet, and welcoming. Whether with family, as a couple, or in your own company, this is the perfect place to restore peace to both body and mind. Thank you!
