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.).

ItalyVery beautiful bungalow, the room is big, clean and new. There is a big garden very well cared for. Breakfast and dinner are tasty, and they have been served on the tables in the garden which was very nice and cozy. There is a beach immediately on the left, near a cemetery, empty, and very beautiful. They have their own sunbeds for the guests. It was really beautiful to see the sunset and sunrise from there. For the next visitors: if you come to these beautiful parts, unfortunately the dogs situation in Trincomalee is quite sad. Please, bring some food with you. Next to the hotel there are two sweet dogs that would love some cuddles and food.

United StatesThe local beach nearby is not the cleanest, though did not see many clean beaches in SL. I cannot fault the bungalow, because it is clear that they clean and attend to the area they have sun beds (also great sunrise here).
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this place. Although the pictures are very accurate, I felt that everything was better in person. Each unit is pretty private and has a nice ground level terrace, perfect for relaxing. The room was really clean and the overall environment tranquil. We also felt safe here, as there is someone always on guard and also cleaning the property. In addition, I enjoyed the beach setup with beds and cushions with covers! The welcome smoothie still goes down as one of the best that I had during my holiday. The hotel can help organize transport for various needs.

SwitzerlandJust to mention that the bungalow is between two cemeteries on the beach. Other than the three private sunbeds you can‘t find other people, restaurants or other attractions close by. No restaurants in walking distance, but there are a couple of nice restaurants five minutes by scooter.
Spacious and beautiful bungalow with a nice private terrace. Super clean room, comfy bed and a fridge. Nice garden area and staff. One minute walk to the beach.

United KingdomRegina keep their own section of beach very clean but sadly either side is full of mostly plastic rubbish washed up. And the cemetery next to Regina is run down. But if you can ignore those sights you can have a very special time at Regina
Beautiful garden with incredible birdlife, near wonderful beach with great swimming. Delicious food served on verandah cooked by the wonderful Ivan. Puvan and all the staff looked after us so well.

GermanyEven though it wasn’t a big deal for us, it deserves notice that we had one power outage (9am to 5pm). Power was back though as the manager expected it to be and we took off to Uppuveli during that time.
I had a beautiful stay of 4 nights at the place and fell in love with the nature of the compound, the proximity to the beach and the atmosphere. We took advantage of the superb cuisine at Regina - mornings for breakfast and 2/4 evenings, for a curry and a fish dinner. Alternatively, we took a ride to Trinco or other places for activities and sightseeing and ate/drank in surrounding towns. If we ever came back to Sri Lanka again, we’d love to stay at Regina once more. It was a great experience.

The rooms were very clean and spacious with a private dining area, the staff were always attentive with good service. The hotel is not far from the beach and short walk will get you there. The beach itself was relatively clean but the sea was rough owing to the season, even though noted a few people braving the waves for a swim. Travelers wanting peace and tranquility, this is the ideal place for you.

IndiaLovely clean spacious room very close to a beautiful, quiet beach. Staff were lovely, helpful and accommodating. Little cabanas on the beach wereperfect for relaxing in the shade with a beautiful view. We only ate breakfast here but the food was great and delivered to our room. The only downside is that the beach has a lot of litter further up. They clean around the hotel, so the view is unspoilt, but a shame the other hotels don’t do the same and take more care of the beach and our planet.

MaltaI'm being picky, but I felt the prices of the menu were on the high side. But accommodation was high end, so perhaps this was reflected in the food prices.
What a little paradise. Everything about the bungalows was right. Lots of thought went into it. I loved my little terrace in front. The staff was so helpful and kind. Great place to stay, just a 2min walk from a quiet beach. Fantastic WiFi as well.

AustriaMany stones when trying to get into the sea (stones come rolling due to current and steep waves) plus in parts lots of waste dumped on the beach.
Staff was very attentive and eager to fulfill every wish we could possibly think of. Food was delicious, Bungalows and garden areal as well as the beach were amazing. Furthermore we fell in love with the small dog "Samba" who came and greated us whenever we stepped a foot our of our front door or came home from a daytrip :) One of the best coffees we had on Sri Lanka!

AustraliaThere isn't anything we could suggest improvement on.
What fabulous accommodation! We were very lucky to be the only ones there on our first night. The staff were so generous and helpful, the beach (which we had to ourselves) is literally outside the front gate. The bungalows were much more spacious than we anticipated with very comfortable beds and a great air conditioner! The bathroom was a 10/10 as well. We would highly recommend staying here. If you stay - order the grilled fish for lunch, wow!
