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.).

KazakhstanMany thanks to the owner of the hotel Hoigo for the hospitality. We liked everything very much: the room, the pool, the beach, the location. We especially liked the restaurant. Everything was very tasty! We didn’t even go anywhere to have dinner. The staff is very nice and helpful. Thank you very much for everything! I wish you good luck and prosperity!

Great location on the beach & the pool is an added bonus. Sri Lankan breakfast is delicious & a great portion size to start your day. Western option is available too with a great selection of German breads. The staff really make this hotel, Bobby & team were fantastic & let’s not forget Bobbys dog! Fridge in room & additional beach towels were a welcome addition. Refreshing welcome drink on arrival. Short walk by road or beach to the local restaurants etc. We will stay here again!

Cannot recommend this place any higher!! We arrived early in the afternoon, but that was no problem. The owner Peter is a fantasticly lovely person, and so is his wife Cristina. They make you feel right at home. Also, their partner Holger is a great guy! They were friendly, had great tips, and enjoyed a beer every now and then. The hotel has recently hired a new chef, and the food was absolutely superb! The rooms were spotless, the swimming pool was extremely well maintained, and the staff was super friendly. We are currently traveling to the center of Sri Lanka, but we are definitely coming back here for a few days before our Holliday is over

Sri LankaI recently had the pleasure of staying at Pearl Island Beach Resort from October 17th to 20th, and it was an unforgettable experience! The beach is stunning, with crystal-clear waters and soft sands that invite you to relax and unwind. The equally superb pool provides a perfect spot to soak up the sun. The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The food was absolutely superb, with a great variety of delicious dishes. I highly recommend Pearl Island Beach Resort to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway in Hikkaduwa. I can't wait to return!

United StatesThis beachfront hotel is a hidden gem. Located in the heart of Hikkaduwa’s beach, I was blown away by its ocean view. One of my favorite moments was when in the pool, admiring the breathtaking sunset horizon, as it rained upon me. The sound of the rain drops meeting the water of the pool was truly beautiful and therapeutic. The restaurant made such the tastiest soup and butter fried shrimp I’ve ever, creating an everlasting impression on my palate and senses. I will be sure to return to the magical pearl of Hikkaduwa.

Sri LankaThe Pearl Island Beach Hotel in Hikkaduwa is truly a gem! Nestled on a quieter stretch of the beach, this hotel offers a serene retreat with breathtaking ocean views, making it an ideal spot for those looking to escape the more crowded areas. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and go out of their way to ensure guests feel welcome, adding a wonderfully personal touch to every interaction. Rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, offering all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay. Considering the location, quality of service, and amenities, this hotel represents fantastic value for money. I highly recommend Pearl Island Beach Hotel for anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating beach getaway in Sri Lanka.

Czech RepublicThe resort is very nice, in good location, next to the beach and with clean pool and good restaurant. Breakfest and other food in menu are tasty. As a bonus they offer very good german dark bread for breakfest. Owner and staff are communicative and helpful. We fully recommend to stay in this accomodation.

The location is absolutely perfect. It's right on the beach, but the waves can be big, so you have the pool to cool down if you don't feel like getting sand in your bathsuit. It's on the beach, but it's on a quiet stretch of the beach. You walk for a few minutes along the beach and you hit all the restaurants and bars and all, but the hotel itself is quiet. There is a restaurant, enough chairs and sunbeds for everyone. You have breakfast, move to the pool to cool down, then onto the sun bed. And start again! It's a small hotel, definitely doesn't feel like a resort! I kept extending my stay, because everything was perfect there.
