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.).

AustriaRestaurant/room service would have made this stay even better, but everything has been communicated transparently by the Green Parrot Team, so it was our decision to book anyway. <3

United StatesLarge rooms with plenty of space, beautiful vaulted ceilings on the second floor. The outside patios face the pool/beach or lagoon, and are furnished with comfy round chairs or small dining tables and a peaceful ambiance of distant crashing waves or bird song. It's a small hotel so it almost feels like you have the place to yourself. As a woman traveling alone I felt perfectly safe. The beach is pristine and normally completely to yourself. Desk staff are incredibly helpful at answering questions, giving recommendations, and calling tuk tuks. There's no food on site, but it's the perfect excuse to get out an explore locally, with several restaurants in walking distance. If you're stuck working on vacation, the wifi is strong enough for group Zoom meetings (!). This hotel is far enough away from the hubbub of Tangalla to allow for quiet relaxation, but close enough with a short Tuk Tuk ride for all the amenities you could want. Highly recommend.

New ZealandA little remote. Easy if you have own transport, otherwise easy enough to book a van or tuktuk pickup.
Ilia and team were great. Quick communication on WhatsApp to confirm details. Highest quality rooms and bathrooms we saw in Sri Lanka. Great pool and outdoor area, including shaded areas. Best restaurant nearby - Priya Moon - and many others a 10 minute walk away.

SwitzerlandVery well equipped accommodation. Beach in the immediate vicinity. Accommodation very clean. Fresh towels and bath towels are provided. Host is very friendly and always ready to help. Especially we loved the parrot Ruby. What a beauty. There are plenty of places to eat near the accommodation. We recommend the sunshine cafe or NIMHIRA. In both of these restaurants you can dine excellently at reasonable prices. Both offer breakfast, lunch or dinner. On request, they offer a tuk tuk ride.

GermanyWe absolutely loved our stay at the hotel, so much so that we decided to extend our visit spontaneously. The room is spacious and clean, with excellent hot water for showering. The air conditioning works well, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. While the hotel doesn't offer food and drinks (except for complimentary water bottles available at any time), there are several restaurants within walking distance serving delicious meals. The receptionist and the owner of the hotel were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the gardener and cleaning lady were also very kind. The pool is beautifully large, and the loungers are comfortable. It only takes 2 minutes to reach the beach, which is an absolute dream. While it might not be the best beach for swimming due to the high waves, it is practically deserted, offering miles of stunning coastline for leisurely walks. Overall, our experience at the hotel was outstanding, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay near the beach.

Very nice place near Tangalle. For us best accomodation we used in Sri Lanka. Great and very clean pool. This season is without kitchen services, but you can use their kitchen and make some breakfast or other meals for you.... But very good restaruants are near. Ocean is only 1 minute walk from your room. Room and bathroom was clean. Staff is very friendly, also owner is living there and can help you with everything you need.... Beach is empty, not crowded as some other places. For us best choice. Be

PolandWe stayed at the Green Parrot for a single night only, however, as soon as we arrived we could feel the very warm welcome by the owners. The room we had was super spacious with two balconies and we immediately felt like we would love to come back for a longer stay or even workation. Local community also left a very good impression on us, so all in all - brief as it was, our experience was excellent!

UkraineValue for money Excellent place for a family stay. Some rooms have a kitchen, but you can always use a big restaurant kitchen by request, with a pretty big swimming pool that you can access without any restrictions. You can get to the noisy ocean in less than a minute by foot. A lot of fauna around; we have seen dozens of birds, monkeys, buffalo, varans. Close to the turtle beach. I definitely would recommend this place.

UkraineWe have traveled across the south coast and accidentally found this lovely hotel. It is a gem spot. Clean and cozy, ideally located: close to the ocean and far from the noisy Sri Lanka streets. Value for money compared to other hotels we stay at during our trip. Owned by the friendly and helpful guy Ilya who can help you with any information about surrounding places and Sri Lank in general. Recommend for those who are tired of "very nice" and "five stars" Sri Lanka owned hotels that are good only on photos.

UkraineThe restaurant was closed due to not so many tourists (consequences of a covid pandemic). We knew this before the arrival, Ilya notified us at once. Therefore it was surely not something we were disappointed with. There was a kitchen open for everyone who was willing to cook and several restaurants nearby. So it was not at all a problem for us.
Green Parrot is the best place we have lived in Sri Lanka. Really a gem spot. It is very calm, peaceful and quiet. Felt more like a private villa of your friends rather than a hotel. The beach is close, stunningly beautiful and empty. Nice and clean pool. Rooms are spacious, spotless, cozy and perfectly thought-through. Look the same as on pictures, even better, which rarely happens in Sri Lanka. There is no need for adapters: all power sockets are adapted to European. No gaps anywhere: no chance for insects to get to a room. No dusty mosquito nets needed. If some small bug finds its way into your room, maybe it’s because of the open window left. But come on, this is Asia, you knew where you were going. There is nothing scary about that. The host Ilya was extremely helpful and friendly. Always ready to help with any question. Always available. One of the best hosts I’ve ever met. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.
