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.).

Our stay at Coffee Shade was exceptional! The toom was very nice and clean. The stay itslef is not on a busy toad so it is very quiet and peaceful. We would wake up to monkeys in the trees and go to bed to bed watching the fireflys. The host family is what makes this place special. They are extremely kind and care for their guest. We were given fresh fruit every morning and even a gift before we left. They were always there to answer any questions and always had a big smile. Definitely recommend staying here.

GermanyLike we said, this is a special place! Constructive feedback: - Please switch to a single mattress instead of two smaller ones! The slot between those two smaller was a bit uncomfortable.
The best accommodation of our entire trip. It is in a beautiful location with and nice garden and wild coffee plants growing everywhere. 5 minutes walk to the beach/shore and main street that connects all shore cities. The lovely host who gave us small gifts, fruits and drinks everyday. Really special!

AustraliaA small fridge to store medicines and cold drinks would be handy.
The location in Midigama is perfect, short walk to the beach, train station, bus stop and main road but far enough away to avoid the noise. All conversations are via whats app and any questions or requests were answered straight away. The owners are so sweet and really try to make your stay special, a welcoming drink, dropping by with fresh fruit and helping us find a driver to our next accommodation, very much appreciated. If you need a place to stay in Midigama, Coffee Shade is a great choice!

AustraliaThe owner family was super nice! Jayalath assisted us via whatsup, everything (Check-in, extend stay and organize breakfast etc) was organized smoothly. His wife welcomed us with lovely smile and humble attitude. She also brought us fresh fruits sometimes. Their dad wiped to dry our bike after rain. They are so thoughtful, they made our stay comfortable as much as possible. The place itself was in good location. Only 2mins walk to surf (lazy left), and in quiet street. Short drive to Ahangama or Weligama.

Our room was quiet and had great air con, and the location was completely perfect - short stroll to the surf breaks but nestled away from the main road. Fantastic value, highly recommend.

SwitzerlandCoffee Shade was everything we needed to feel at ease after a long day of travelling - comfortable, clean and very kind hosts. They think of everything, for example had 5l bottled drinking water available and send a pdf with such additional services at the end. Good communication and the location is ideal.

GermanyNothing. 100% happy
Everything! They have built a beautiful little guesthouse with 3 rooms and ensuite bathrooms. Very close to the beach, Coffee Shade is the perfect place to stay in Midigama if you're not on a very tight budget. That said the prices are more than fair for what you get. Everything is well maintained. What I really enjoyed: FOOD: The vegetable curries were the best I had during this trip to Sri Lanka! I love spicy food and definitely enjoyed the burn. If you're not eating spicy at all, it could be worth noting this with your meal orders. ORGANIZATION: The owners provide a PDF menu for breakfast and dinner and also create an invoice with total cost provided as PDF. Couldn't ask for more professionalism from a guesthouse. THE GARDEN: Very lush and beautifully maintained, I felt like I was staying in a botanical garden. Jaya was even so kind to gift me two plant seedlings that I will hopefully be able to grow back at home. 💚
