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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Amazing place to stay. Kasun is the best host, always available to help with a tuk tuk or scooter rental. Great location as well within walking distance of tw beautiful beaches and lots of restaurants nearby. All in all the room was great value for money and was our favourite hotel that we stayed in the whole of Sri Lanka.

we loved everything! The hosts were so nice, they ensured we had a wonderful stay. The room and bathroom were really clean and we felt very comfortable. It is a little out of town, but very close to the silent beach (1.4 km) which was such a nice beach! Also only 5 min walk from another beach which was also very nice. Breakfast was delicious and you could choose between western or Sri Lankan style.

GermanyWe can’t recommend this place enough. Kasun is such a kind & helpful young man, managing the place by the motto „it’s not a business, it’s a home“. And you can feel that during the whole stay. He did our laundry, organized a scooter rental and made a lovely breakfast with fruit platter, coconut filled pancakes, toast, jam, fruit juice, omelette and dessert - and he changed it up a little every day. You can also get sri lankan breakfast, if you like. At our last day, he organized a tuk tuk for us, explained what bus to take and gave us a water bottle for the road. It’s those little things that made our stay so memorable. The room was VERY clean and spacious, the bed was cozy with 2 pillows each. The terasse was a nice plus (also very clean). Especially the bathroom exceeded our expectations: clean, shower with strong waterpressure & hot if you need that at 30 degrees outside & VERY spacious. Wifi was very good, too. The location is perfect as well: 5min walk to Goyambokka Beach, 20min walk to silent beach, restaurant are nearby as well. Tangalle City is 10min by scooter. We liked staying outside the busy city and silent beach is the most beautiful beach anyway. We can’t wait to be back!

RussiaThe interior is quite outdated, but this is typical for villas in Tangalle. I would also recommend the management to buy new towels.
I like almost everything: price, location, staff attitude. The young man from the hotel was very responsive, helped to solve any questions by whatsapp. I would like to thank him very much!

NetherlandsOur stay at Tamarind Blue was great! Kasun the owner is the personification of kindness. The hotel is in a great location near the beach. The room was clean with a beautiful bed. What really stood out was the hospitality. You can read it here as you can in all the other reviews: this is a good place to spend your stay. Highly recommended!

We had a very pleasant stay at Tamarind Blue! We were welcomed by Kasun who is very kind and humble and he and took care of us during the whole stay. He really did everything to make us feel satisified and happy (he organized a scooter for us, arranged tuktuk and even let us check out later). Breakfast was delicious with plenty of food including a big plate of fresh fruit, omelletes, sausages and Sri Lankan food (coconut pancakes were the best!) served on a small terrace outside of the room. Location is quiet and a bit far from the town, but in a walking distance of two beautiful beaches (Goyambokka and Silent beach). You can get to Tangalle town by a scooter or tuktuk in 5-10min. Room was spacious and clean, we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place to everyone planning their trip in Tangalle. Thank you very much, Kasun!

SwedenBig rooms and big WC. Good Wifi and cozy outplace. The host helped me and my boyfriend so much. Such a service minded young man. I can really recommend this calm and soft spot. Close to Goyambokka beach and an easy tuktuk ride to silent beach that is worth to visit. Really reccomend this place!
