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 StatesThe Wi-Fi was very spotty at times. The room was clearly dated where the outlets were not secured to the wall and there were not enough hangers available to use. The linens were a little worn. The bathroom’s sink facet was loose and there would be an unknown odor that would come from the drains. The lighting in the rooms were a little weird in terms of the placement and where the switches were located.
The location is amazing, right by the ocean. The outdoor amenities - particularly the pool was phenomenal. Our room was very spacious. The dining experience was good.

Sri LankaStaff's were not friendly and accomodative. Probably they are stressed with the guests arriving back to back during long weekends. Restuarant in the buffet area was very hot and humid with flies and cats roaming around the buffet spread. P
The location was good since it's just about an hour from Colombo and closer to the main Puttalam - Colombo Road

United KingdomUnfortunately there was a problem with the water, so we couldn't use our bath on our balcony as it was running with brown water!
We used this hotel as a one night stop off when we arrived before travelling around Sri Lanka. The location is remote, but that didn't bother us as we only stayed at the hotel. The pool was big and clean, whilst the room was really comfy.

Ireland5 star in Sri Lanka is not the same as 5 star in the western world but it is stunning and beautiful for Sri Lanka.
The staff are so kind and helpful. They treated us very well. (The bell boy - Premachandra, was always so adorable and chatty). One of the receptionists was extremely attentive and friendly. There is other staff that are so lovely here but these are the 2 people who stood out to us. The pool is huge, clean and refreshing. The sunset view by the beach is amazing. We felt very safe and comfortable here.

PolandWe had problems with air conditioning: A hotel staff send the technicians to the room which took about 1 hour in the evening and finally did not fix a problem. Finally we escalated an issue at the reception and after that we moved to another room. We lost about 2 hours for AC issue when we had a plans to visit swimming pool or other great hotel facilities.

LithuaniaWe stayed in water chalets and lots of things were not working properly: AC, hot water, toilettes and safe - so we had to go to reception several times - it was a little bit annoying. Also it wasn’t very clean and fully isolated from the outside - so we found bugs and lizards inside. Beach towels were not clean either.
Very nice pool area, beautiful environment, friendly staff, delicious food and a big variety of food during breakfast and buffet dinner
