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.).

The location and the staff were excellent. We felt very welcome at the resort and nothing was too much trouble. Whether it was a special breakfast for our granddaughter or arranging transport to the local attractions. A la carte menu all day.

FranceYou must know you are 15min away from Tangalle by Tuk Tuk if you want to go eat outside the hotel or just go enjoy the main beach. The beach at the hotel is very secluded and one cannot swim. Also the food at the hotel is quite expensive for just regular food. Best to go eat in town even if you have to pay the tuk tuk.
Beautiful property right on the beach. The pool is very pleasant. The view from the top bungalows, where we were, is magnificent, overlooking the vegetation and looking at the water. The staff is very pleasant. Breakfast is generous, served at the table.

United KingdomWe were so glad to have booked to stay here as it’s a really beautiful hotel and we were sad to leave! If you’re looking to stay somewhere luxurious as well as be away from the crowds then this is a wonderful place to stay. Breathtaking views of the sea from our bungalow and it was amazing to sit on the balcony and hear the waves. The beach and surrounding area are lovely and quiet yet walking distance (or a short tuk-tuk journey) to local restaurants. We also had a wander along the beach when it was dark to find hundreds of little crabs around which was interesting!

United StatesWe loved our stay at Omia. It was such a relaxing experience, we spent a lot of time on our deck overlooking the ocean. The waves were a bit too strong to swim in the ocean during the time we visited (end of the season), but it was still very nice to walk along the long stretch of beach.The Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner are very delicious! The WiFi is a bit weak in the rooms, but it might depend on the room you are in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

This place is Paradise on earth, beautiful and quiet. And at the same time, there are a lot of opportunities to explore not far from the resort. Barabara and her team are lovely, they made us feel welcomed and at home from day one. They did beyond what could be expected to secure we had a lovely stay. WE ARE COMING BACK

Just everything, and that's no exaggeration. It was more than perfect. Beautiful bungalow with amazing view. Food was excellent and we ate there for our entire 11 nights. But of course the stars of the show were the staff. All of them. Barbara runs a happy team and they are fiercely loyal to her. Special mention to Luca. Fell in love with him and hope he feels better soon. Oh, should explain his tail always wagged when we saw him🥰. We've travelled to many, many places and this was our number 1. Thanks guys. Miss you all 😁 John & Allison 😍

United KingdomThought the menu was a little limited for choice but otherwise all good
Fantastic location on a deserted section of beach except for the local fishermen. Rooms are huge with everything that you may need, we stayed four nights which was just right, Barbara and her team are a well oiled machine they really know how to look after guests, big shout out to Mahesh, Sandun and Nuwanga. Breakfasts were great and varied I like to opt for the Sri Lankan breakfast every morning because its something you cant get at home!! Nice little restaurant called Nimhira just a short tuk tuk ride away, they will come and pick you up and drop you back for free
