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.).

United KingdomUnfortunately there were a lot of fires around the property from the neighbours the smoke was very heavy at times.
Lovely villa with huge bedrooms! A fridge full of beer and water is a great touch 👌 Pool was nice and the garden setting is beautiful.

United KingdomAll good.
Spacious bungalow set in a tropical garden. This is not high end bland luxury. It is full of character and charm. Whilst there we were visited by a large troop of monkeys, peacocks and palm squirrels. 2 large double bedrooms both with en-suite. Air con and fans. Small but functional kitchen and lounge area. Large verandah with chairs, tables and outside fans and lights. This is where we spent all of our time. There are two properties and we stayed in Silent House. We shared the wonderful pool with Whispering House but we were never using it at the same time. Cooked breakfast provided every morning on the pool terrace. We also had a very good meal there one evening. Owner Opul and his family were very lovely and helpful and can organise transport if needed. Less than a two minute stroll to beautiful Goyambokka beach. 10 mins to the stunning Silent Beach.

The team greeted us with friendly smiles and a lovely welcome drink. It is rustic, feels like you are living deep in the jungle and yet it has everything you need and is situated perfectly near restaurants and beaches. The pool is great, the bedrooms are huge and the nature provided our kids with lots of entertainment. The owner kindly organised an excellent dinner for us, gave us delicious curries every morning and toast and fruit for our kids (age 4 and 6). It has been our favourite place to stay so far!

United KingdomThe property was great, you just have to adopt a different mindset with the insects that come in.
Very friendly hosts. The bungalow was very spacious, lovely big bedrooms and bathrooms, open plan kitchen between the two rooms leading onto the veranda. The pool is just nearby. The beach is just a five minute walk and it’s also easy to get tuk tuks to other beach locations.

Polandthe bathrooms are separeted from the bedrooms by an openwork wall so you have little privacy when using it if you share the room with someone. this was really the only one little thing that could be changed in this lovely home.
One of the most charming places we have ever stayed. we had the old villa with the kitchen and large living space (+ two bedrooms and two bathrooms). The garden is like your private botanical garden. the hosts are most friendly and helpful. breakfasts are to die for! short walk to the beach, many restaurants and a small convince store. We had wished we could stay longer.

United KingdomIt may be a little dated for some although not an issue for us. Beach is nearby although too rough for the children to swim here.
It’s located 5mins drive outside of Tangalle and 5mins to the beach. Perhaps remote for some but perfect for us. Upal is a lovely host, helpful, kind and a good chef of Sri Lankan food. He also kindly amended meals for our children. The pool is lovely and the house is spacious with air con, fans and shutters. Wi-Fi was good. Super friendly driver for local trips was organised.

United KingdomThe breakfast was okay, certainly the most disappointing during our two weeks in Sri Lanka. Also whenever we wanted to use the pool we had to clear fallen leaves from it.
The gardens were beautiful, and the accommodation was very generous. Big enough for a large family, which probably would have made the price more reasonable, as we were only a party of 2. The owner organised a scooter for us, which was very helpful.

Gorgeous rustic jungle beach house, good location with a couple of good restaurants near by. They house is very homely but rustic therefore not the cleanest, there are ants and cockroaches around. The shared pool wasn’t very clean for the 3/4 nights we stayed so we didn’t really use it. The free Breakfast offered was very average, fried egg, bread coffee and bananas only.

SpainThere is no daily cleaning of the room, so it gets very dirty and full of insects. The worst part was the huge amount of cockroaches, I think there should be better pest control, plus it was full of worms, spiders, etc. The higiene part was not taken care, there should be more effort in providing a clean accomodation
Great swimming pool and garden, the beach is nearby (although a bit dirty and the beach bars are not nice), Upul and his son are awesome, they treated us very well. The beds are comfortable also.
