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.).

GermanyThe facilities seem to be a bit older. There were a lot of mosquitos in our room and bathroom. Also the net had a lot of holes. We bought tesa Stripes to fix it at least for our stay. The Floor is very dirty so you should keep your shoes on otherwise your feet are Black.
The Hotel is located directly Infront of the Beach which is perfect. Also its just a short walk to the Center. They have a Pool game which you are free to use.

Location was great and the owner is very communicative and friendly! Many nice restaurants in walking distance, also not too far from the bis station. The pool table is one of the best I've seen in Sri Lanka. Nice garden too. There are things that can be improved in the room, but fine for 2 nights. You get what you pay for.

PhilippinesCheap price with good value. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Easy to chat with other travellers because people liked to hang out in the lobby and play pool and have few drinks. Even tho there was people drinking in the night time it didnt bother because the music and partying stops at 11pm. Overall a nice place to stay.

United KingdomMaybe we were unlucky with the room (room 4), but I wouldn't recommend this place for couples. Or anyone who doesn't relish a nightly standoff with a cockroach. The room was infested with insects (a continuous column of ants, mainly, but also a few cockroaches and mosquitoes). The problem seemed to be that none of the windows closed (the catches were broken, presumably by previous guests trying to escape or ventilate, or rusted). The ceiling fan creaked, with air barely reaching the bed through the mosquito net, leaving the room over 30 degrees all night. There was only one plug socket, which sparked every time you put in a device, and it was - dangerously - not screwed into the wall. For the first time in 20 years of travelling we checked out a night early to move elsewhere in Tangalle. Staff didn't seem concerned or surprised, and we paid in full. For £10/$15 more we found a 4 star hotel down the road, which felt like arriving into paradise.
The staff were welcoming on arrival. The room had the most basic facilities needed, including an electric power shower. The location is on the sea front, convenient for the beach.

SloveniaReally a spot to enjoy Sri Lanka to the fullest. Owner and the crew are the best source of information for exploaring the area, small tips of where to find the best meals and sights. Ask them and you will not regret. As a family with a seven-year-old, this was the perfect spot. The host even found a local family to cook non spicy food for our kid and he loved it. It was hotless curry. Really great hosts. Highly recomended!

NetherlandsIt was really old and the room has to be renovated. Sockets really dirty. Lock not really good. Mosquito net had holes, and there are lot of mosquitos. Towels really then and not nice smell. Very hot inside, has ventilator but no screens at window to get some fresh air. Although room is not expensive, in Sri Lanka you can find really nice room for same money. We payed room and went around corner to newly build beautiful location, even cheaper
