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.).

United KingdomWe had to leave
We have just left after a two night stay, and what can I say? The accommodation was spotlessly clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we have slept in during our time in Sri Lanka. The shower had good pressure with plenty of hot water, and the air con worked well. What really set this homestay apart was the wonderful hospitality from the hosts Manu and Sashi. From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated like family rather than tourists. We were welcomed with fresh mango juice, and Sashi kindly gave us a handwritten list of local attractions with distances and travel times. We had a delicious breakfast and, after a busy day sightseeing, were welcomed back with a fresh king coconut juice. Manu and Sashi exceeded our expectations as hosts.

NetherlandsI only regret I could not stay longer. Thanks a million you two amazing humans!
I am a woman traveling alone, so to feel safe and at home is such a gift. These two were so warm and welcoming. It was without a doubt the best experience i had during the past 3 weeks. The room was perfect, as well as the location and the breakfast. I just really wish I could have stayed longer, but no doubt I will be back, even if it is only to see them again❤️

IrelandGreat home stay in Tangalle. The hosts were really friendly genuine people. The room was basic but had everything we needed - AC / wifi / mini fridge. The outdoor area is really nice & there are some little breakout areas with sofas / table & chairs to chill outside of the room. Can hire scooter from here which we’d recommend to get to the beaches as the beach nearby is more of a fisherman’s beach, the other end is best for spending the day

AustraliaNothing was perfect.
Fantastic place with hosts that genuinely understand and care about guests and have created a magic place to stay that reflects this. The place to stay in Tangalle. I had to cancel one night in order to get an emergency passport and they didn't charge me cancellation fee. The hosts have thought about and prepared the place with thoughts about guests and not just making money. Would stay again definitely when in Tangalle next. It is a fantastic place to stay with funky colored rooms and little outdoor area and restaurant.

GermanyThe room is super equipped and very clean. The special thing about the accommodation for me was the hosts in particular - they are the nicest people ever. They helped me with everything and we had great conversations. The dinner at their place was great, I can highly recommend it. It was the best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far.

GermanyWe stayed for 6 days and didn’t expect much, cheap accommodation and very close to the beach and city centre. Turned out to be the best decision ever! Never have we met someone so nice, lovely and helpful as the hosts, Manu and Sashi. Words are not enough to describe our time here, if you are in Tangalle, there is only one place you should stay. Also the cooking skills from Manu and Sashi are better than in most of the restaurants. Much love

United KingdomThe lighting in the room could have been improved by a side light to the bed. Everything else was great.
Manu and his wife were some of the best hosts we have had in Sri Lanka. Their hospitality was superb. They cooked a fantastic fish / lobster / prawn dinner for us at a very reasonable cost, sorted some well priced tuk tuk journeys and onward travel arrangements. Really enjoyed going fishing on a fishing boat, organised through Manu, catching many fish. Manu then used that fish to give us another delicious dinner. The room was spacious, air conditioning was effective, plenty of hot water all the time for showers. There were outdoor spaces around the property for relaxing and a lovely covered area where we had breakfast each morning (and dinners when we ate there).

PolandWonderful place! Wonderful people. Very tasty and fresh products. Breakfast was delicious. They prepared vegan version especially for us. Everyday dishes were different. Perfect location! The owners are really helpful and friendly. It was a real pleasure to spend time with them! We appreciate every moment in Menaka. Bed is comfortable, room is clean and you have a lot of space outside to spend nice evening. You can rent a motorbike or a bicycle in low price. If you ask, Manu can order a tuk tuk in good price too. He helped us with many things! We were really moved and definitely recommend this place.

NetherlandsJust a recommendation, maybe some new pillows. And a bigger Internet package. But actually even this, like the Internet if the package ran out, Manu fixed this within seconds. At night we had a concert of frogs, but earplugs did the trick.
Extremely clean room, the shower is cold but powerful. The bed is huge. The breakfast is continental and more than enough. Manu and his wife are kind and gentle. A relax vibe and peaceful stay. Just one of those places you have to stay. We also had the ocean dinner! By far the best meal and sooo much we had in Sri Lanka. Aircon work really good.
