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.).

GermanyWe booked the room with the garden view, it was really beautiful. The staff were really friendly and polite upon arrival, we received a fresh coconut and they helped carry our luggage to the room. Initially, we wanted to book a Yala safari, but the owner recommended not to, because there had been no animals the last couple of days due to off season and he wanted us not to waste our money. We really appreciated his help and honesty, it was important to him to help instead of making the most money out of tourists. Great stay, such good value for money! Definitely recommend!

United KingdomRooms weren’t restocked or cleaned.
The rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, air con and fan great, WiFi strong, located close to the beach and plenty nice restaurants close enough. The manager generously took me to see the turtles laying eggs on a beach close by in the back of his bike one night. I only had the breakfast one day and it was so good, but too big for me. I was full for the rest of the day!

United KingdomThe property itself is very well looked after, the rooms are clean and modern and very comfortable. The staff are amazing, always making an effort to ensure everything is perfect. A few times while outside they bought a fan and incense sticks to make the experience even better. The place is walking distance to the beach and town, I would thoroughly recommend staying here if looking to come to Tangalle!

Located 2min walk from the beach, and 10min walk from the city center, this place is great. The room is very confortable and clean, fridge, hot shower, great AC (sometimes I even felt cold haha). The staff is super kind, they helped us with everything we needed. You can feel how much they care about the guests. But wait for the best: the sri lankan breakfast! It was a feast! The best way to start a day.

Quiet place close to Tangalle beach and to bus station. Room is spacious and fully functional (big, comfy bed, aircon, hot water…), friendly staff, small garden to relax and get breakfast… far enough to feel comfortable. Some good restaurants within short walking distance.

GermanyI think at times we had some communication issues. It wasn't a big problem as all the necessary things were clear but it might have made some situations slightly awkward ;)
Good room for the price. Big, with lots of shelves, chairs, mini fridge (big plus!), hair dryer; enough space in the bathroom to put your toiletries; very comfortable bed The owner takes good care of you, he even dropped me off at the nicest beach as well as gave me a ride to the bus station Mosquito net, coal and anti mosquito spray kept me bite free :) nice chilling area with fans and sun covers 2-3min walk to the nearest beach but if you're looking for something bigger/cleaner, you'd need to drive for around 10min - ask the owner, he knows the best spot !

United KingdomMy only small point is that the power in the room operates on a room key basis, so won't stay on while you're out - I assume to stop folks from leaving the air-conditioning on constantly when it's not needed. Fair enough - but it made it tricky to charge devices (e.g. Macbook) that required a long time charging.
What a great property! So close to the beach, and with amazing bars/restaurants only a few minutes walk away. Sad I was only staying for two nights I could have happily stayed much longer... The Sri Lankan breakfast was outstanding, and massive! Great value.

Outstanding accommodation, host and breakfast. Liked · Absolutely everything!! The welcome with a ice cold King Coconut. The room with air con, wall fan, mini fridge, mosquito net, mosquito plug in, powerful shower in spacious bathroom, hair dryer. Comfortable bed, tea and kettle. The bathroom also had a powerful extractor fan which meant that it dried out everything really well. The breakfast was outstanding. We had the Sri Lankan option but believe a western option was available. The breakfast was massive and freshly cooked. The coffee was strong and tasty. Two egg hoppers each. The fresh fruit- passion fruit, avocado, orange, watermelon, banana, guarva. String hoppers, 3 curries, roti, crepes with jaggery, fresh juice- all amazing. The location was 5 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from banks, supermarket, bus station, and on the coastal road with many tourist restaurants. We would recommend this 100% and is great value for money.
