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.).

AustraliaChandi & family are wonderful & very welcoming, I enjoyed visiting the local markets with them, the location with the sound of the breaking waves is very soothing. The view is perfect & watching the local fisherman was amazing, especially as they surf back to shore, timing the waves perfectly!

AustraliaWhen we arrived we were told that the previous guests had failed to check out and were away swimming at the beach meaning we could not check into the room we had booked even though it was around 2pm. We went for some food and returned an hour later to find they had still not returned so we had to sit and wait. Finally at around 4.30pm the guests returned and vacated the room so we could check in. Once this was resolved we loved our stay here it was just unfortunate to arrive in this way.
The location of the property is amazing, literally on the beach. We would fall asleep at night being able to listen to the crashing of the waves outside. Just a beautiful location. Restaurant on site has probably the cheapest prices in the area and is right on the beach as well. Spacious room with mosquito nets and space outside to hang swimming clothes.

Sri LankaChandi Gaya Guetshouse is located on the beachside with a beautiful view. You can reach Tangalle center within 10 minutes and there are many restaurants and small beach bars closeby. But Chandi also offers very delicious food and you can have your breakfast right on the beach. The family is realy warmhearted, helpful and layed back. We always had good conversation with them and all our requests were answered so friendly. We could even buy fish on the market which they would prepare for us for little money. The room we had was spacous and clean und we had a nice balcony/terrace as well. We stayed longer than we had originally planned! Thank you Chandi and your family!

GermanyIf you are scared of insects I would recommend not to choose the top floor room. While it feels amazing to sleep up in the palms and have a direct see view, it can attract some little visitors at night...
I stayed at Chandi Gaya Beachhouse for the second time. You are two meters aways from the beach and sleep with the sound of the waves and wake up to a beach view. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The price is really good for what you get. Chandi has been the best host during our Sri Lanka trip, she is very fun and caring. We took our breakfast at the accomodation and our lunch the food was very delicious.

GermanyRoom was unfortunatly a bit dirty with dust and spider webs - maybe not used for a longer time due to some ongoing construction work at the guesthouse. Also a bit more storage area would be helpful.
Nice homestay at Tangalle beach with very kind owners. Very basic rooms which are very generous with big beds and mosquito nets! Nice terrace in front of the rooms and very nice spot directly at the sea side for breakfast / other meals and drinks with only some stones separating you from the beach. Very tasty restaurant next to the homestay for dinner with adorable owners.

SloveniaRestaurant menu items frequently unavailable, giving the impression they weren't ready for guests. The occasional loudness and lack of guesthouse vibes added to the letdown. Hoping for improvements!
Loved the prime beachside location! The breakfast was a delight, and the family-made dishes were incredibly tasty. Thumbs up for the delicious food and perfect beach proximity!
