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 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 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.).

GermanyIt was really cheap and the accomodation was luxury. The owner took care of everything and the wifi was awesome compared to other hotels in Sri Lanka. It is close to the beach and you have more than enough space in your room. It is the best accomodation I have ever been in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was delicious. Thanks for everything.

GermanyMoskitos at night. The moskito net too short; you do need moskito coil. If there are high waves the beach is not ideal for swimming. The surf tends to be short and steep. Go to Dickwella for ideal waves.
I had planned to stay 2 days and ended up staying 6. Eco stands for ecology, which means simple wooden huts in green surroundings near a lagoon, with exotic birds waking you up in the mornings, monkeys visiting, friendly stray dogs and moskitos. Eco stands more for economy here, so if you rent a scooter (2500 per day) you easily can make it the base for your explorations of this lovely part of Sri Lanka to do the following: - buy moskito coil in Tangalle - walk 6 km on a beautiful empty beach to Rekawa for sunrise - watch the small turtles come out of their eggs at 6 pm every day at the nearby turtle watch station - watch the big sea turtles come ashore late at night for hedging - rent a kayak nearby and explore the lagoon - have dinner with seaview or not at one of the nice nearby restaurants - visit Tangalle, Dickwella beach, Dondra Head Lighthouse and the Matara forts by scooter or TucTuc - visit Mulkirigala rock monastery by scooter or TucTuc - visit Tissamahawa and Kataragama temples if you don't .mind a longer scooter ride. Include Rajamaha Temples If you don't mind the dirt roads in the national park. The beach is a 5 minute walk away and you can hear the waves breaking from far. All in all for me it was a really lovely place with friendly staff. The longer I stayed the more I liked it.

SwitzerlandThere were nighttime noises from roaming dogs that disturbed our sleep.
Our stay at this hostel in Tangalle stands out as one of the best accommodations we've experienced in Sri Lanka. The hosts were incredibly helpful, addressing all our concerns and even guiding us to the nearby beach, just a short 5-minute walk away through another hotel complex. The room was excellent value for money – clean, spacious, and well-appointed. The small balcony provided a perfect spot to unwind, and inside, ample shelves made it easy to keep our belongings organized. A thoughtful touch was the mosquito net for each bed, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable and enjoyable stay in Tangalle.

BelgiumVery cozy cabanas with all the necessities, very close to the beach and beautiful surroundings . Extremely friendly hosts, we had a little problem with our cabana and they let us sleep in another cabana without hesitation. We also needed transport to Ella, the host provided us a car and drove us himself all the way to Ella. 100% recommend this accommodation.

United KingdomThe location is too far from everything, so without a car or motorbike it’s a long way from accessing nice swimmable beaches or various places to eat. The beach nearby is beautiful but not if you enjoy swimming in the Ocean as it’s not swim friendly due to the strong waves. But this is not to reflect bad on the guesthouse, it is simply a fact of the location.
Clean and very comfortable. Nice family. I appreciated that they upgraded my room for free as it was not busy, very kind of them. The beach is 5 mins away. Delicious Rice and Curry.
