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 StatesDifficult to find as it is remotely located. But we Wes still glad we stayed there.
Small boutique hotel but with clean rooms, great staff, and a quiet location. The staff is exceptionally attentive and helpful. We arrived very late in the night and they were able to offer us some sandwiches and fruit even though it was well past dinner time.

GermanyNothing. Everything was good
Very beautiful and quiet location just a couple meters to the beach. Breakfast on the bungalow terrace with the sound of the sea and very relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was very good with delicious fruit. Very nice garden. Not too far away from the beach where boat trips to pigeon Island starts (maybe 15 min drive).

United KingdomSlight miscommunication about the price of our special dinner but just make sure to get a final price up front!
Absolutely lovely bungalow and the staff really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food is fantastic as well. It’s a 30 second walk to the beach which was great as well. They pulled out all the stops for our anniversary dinner which was truly amazing!

NetherlandsEven considering the quality, which is well above standard Sri Lankan level, I'm not sure if price/quality is balanced (both accomodation and food). Also, consider the place doesn't allow credit card payment, meaning you'll need a lot of cash. Last, either have own transport, or use pickme for tuktuks. There is nothing outside the resort (it's dirt tracks around it only). A trip to restaurants will take about 10 mins.
Beautiful and well maintained mini resort, about 50 meters from the beach. We rented two adjacent cottages and all amenities were in order. Comfortable place. Beach facilities are setup in a nice way. Come here if you like your quiet comfort.

AustriaShower was a little small. And just be aware that if you take the standard room that you don’t have your own cabana but only a room with a side entrance without a view.
Awesome location at the beach in a very quiet area with a really pretty garden. It feels almost like a private beach with beach cabanas. Spacious and clean rooms. Nice staff that’s really helpful. Also only a short tuktuk ride to uppuveli.

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.

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.

Sri LankaNoting.
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.
