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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomJust a point to note if you are travelling in a big vehicle access may be tricky in bad weather or late in the night but we were fine in a mini bus!
The architecture and location of the building was outstanding. Kumara and the team hosted us so well. The food was delicious. We needed more time as didn't get round to getting out late for the turtles!

United KingdomFor a relaxing, nature filled hideaway holiday, there was very little not to like
The villa and location are stunning. Such a pristine, isolated spot with an abundance of wildlife and the highlight being the turtles. The villa team were brilliant at coordinating, seeing firstly baby turtles hatching and heading out to the sea and then seeing female turtles laying their eggs. The villa was modern and clean with simple yet refined architecture. It had everything we needed for a relaxing, luxurious stay. The food put on by Kumara and the team was superb and a true taste of Sri Lanka but also catered for the varying maturity of our kids palates. We only had time for a couple of nights but we will definitely be back for a longer stay soon.

United KingdomGreat position on Rekawa beach. Wonderful staff (brilliant with children) and good food. Beach was absolutely stunning and an ever changing landscape due to the strong waves. Villa dogs were wonderful. Definitely recommend local kayaking.

NetherlandsWe liked everything, but good to know that you cannot swim at the beach where the house is (current too strong). There is a pool, but it is rather small.
Beautiful villa right on the beach. Very secluded. Staff is extremely friendly and prepared wonderful food for us. We also got a chance to see a turtle lay eggs at night.

United Arab EmiratesIt didn’t bother us much but you cannot swim in the beach. We still had a great time on the beach and enjoyed the giant waves.
The beautiful stretch of beach behind the garden was breathtaking. We watched a turtle nesting on a nearby beach on the second night. So many animals passed through the garden (monkeys, water buffalo, peacocks, chipmunks). The staff were so kind and accommodating. The rooms were very comfortable and we all enjoyed the pool.

The villa is amazing, design comfort, location, but the staff is even better! Priyantha (the chef) and Sisira are two amazing persons, extremely available, super friendly and professional, made our stay absolutely fantastic. Whatever we needed, they knew it before we could ask! The food cooked by Priyantha was unique. We have travelled through several luxurious lodges, but none could compete with him. Let him suggest the meals, you will not regret it! Sisira was showing us the best spots on the beach, helping out with everything and get us on very short notice request on the fron line watching a sea turtle laying her eggs on the beach just under the villa! Amazing experience, great stay, extremely reccommended!

NetherlandsUnfortunately, it’s not possible to swim at the beach, but luckily there are other beaches in the area where swimming was possible.
We loved our stay here! The villa was wonderful and we enjoyed the delicious meals prepared by a chef both trained in Sri Lankan and European dishes. The staff was very friendly and the house was a great place to rest. We also saw baby turtles on the beach and this made this place even more special. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

United Kingdomhonestly speaking everything was amazing we want to our kids next time when we visit Sri Lanka
I cannot even begin to explain the serenity of this place while listening to the sea from our balcony and bed. The villa is beach front and we had all the space just for the two of us- it was perfect! Came to Sati straight from the airport with ease and checked in early. We woke up, told the chef what to make for breakfast and walked to the reef along the beach. The beach was marked with turtle paths and felt like we were the only people around. The garden had a peahen and chicks roaming around while we were having breakfast. All types of birds and monkeys in the neighbouring garden. This was the most peaceful, energizing and relaxing stay we have had as a couple. The massage therapy was just what we needed to end our wonderful stay at Sati. Regretting we didn’t book a couple of more nights here. The host and staff are so flexible and even the meals are personalised, highly recommended.
