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.).

AustraliaLow season and almost all restaurants were closed. The staff from this villa were available to make food through and actually it was pretty decent.
Fairly pleasant place with friendly staff. Very big and good breakfast. Very close to the beach. The seas were too high to use it when I was there though so no swimming was possible. The room I stayed in was up a hill a little way via an unsealed path, probably not good if you're unsteady on your feet. The other rooms were closer to the road.

Great place with an amazing location! Just 2 min away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka ( Silent Beach). Nice and friendly host family as well as all other locals - we spent amazing 5 nights there! Cosy, clean rooms and some of the best food that we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. We are definitely looking forward to visiting again!!

PolandThe room is small and no place to unpack cloths, but we took the smallest room - so we got what we payed for. If you want to stay longer - just opt for a bigger option.
Perfect location near the Silaent Beach, 5 min walk, quiet. Owners are very friendly and accommodating people. It's a perfect place to have a present stay and support the local community. It's possible to have a meal there and the food is delicious,.

SwedenThe room was a bit dark and moist, and can be a bit warm since there was only fans, not AC in the family room. The hotels sunbeds at the beach are not actually included but instead are paid (although discounted) for at the beach every day
Although not beach front, it is one of the closest places to Silent Beach if you dont count the large luxury hotel at the beach. The people working here are extremely kind and helpful! They helped us organize a nice kayak trip at the nearby lagoon and we had our best meal in our whole Sri Lanka trip in their small restaurant.

DenmarkSmall rooms and no AC, and it got really really hot at night. One of the fans was not working properly.
Very close to the stunning beach. We stayed up the hill at the premises where it was very quiet but fun with monkeys and peacocks. Access to new kitchen facility (for extra payment). Very cosy with plants, two rooms and terasses.

Clean and well equiped rooms with nice veranda at the front. A lot of different wild animals coming very close. We admired the peacocks, monkeys, squirrels and colourful birds around. Just about 2 minutes walk to the silent beach. Very nice and helpful staff and delicious cuisine prepared by the owner family.

Delicious home-style cooking, great location and the friendliest, most hospitable hosts. Milton catered for us on their included daybeds at the beach and the family helped us immensely to visit surrounding sites and transport to our next location. The rooms were clean and well equipped with good WIFI. The restaurant area was cosy and vibrant. Marisi’s cooking was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka and the quality of their food is of much better standard than other restaurants in the area. The hosts were also really attentive to any of our requests. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Thatched Villa to anyone visiting the Tangalle region.

Sri LankaNothing to say
The cabanas are separated from the restaurant and the road which make the place so quiet and surrounded by nature you can wake up with the sound of birds. The beds were comfortable, clean and tidy. Nothing fancy but cosy and cheap considering being located near one of the most beautiful beaches in the south.

GermanyMaybe a bit pricier than similar places in Sri Lanka, but absolutely worth the price.
This place is a hidden gem, located close to a wonderful beach. The hosts dont speak much English but are very kind and would even serve our lunch at the beach. The rooms are simple but clean. The shower even had hot water and good water pressure. The bed was comfy. Our room had aircon, which was perfect as the weather got really hot during our stay. We loved the breakfast and the fresh juices. The fish we had for dinner was amazing, too.

The host Pramesh and his sister was super friendly, he showed me to a snorkeling spot and gave me equipment free of charge as well as showed me around the city with motorbike and took me to the super market. My stay has been above my expectations and they have really made it special. Not a lot of restaurants in the area, the food provided here by his siter has been the best highly recommend the Avocado and Prawn salad it was one of the best I've had on the island. Location is just a minute away from one of the most quiet and beautiful white sand beaches in Sri Lanka with coral reef and natural pools. An unexpected jewel. Looking forward to come back.

United KingdomThe bungalow is a 2min walk from the most beautiful beach, Silent beach. Quiet, gorgeous beach. Super clear water, you can see many fish. Hard to beat. Exactly what we were looking for after spending 3 days in Mirissa. And the sun beds are included in your stay, which is extra bonus. There are two bars at the other end of the beach, called Silent Point (no music, just the waves). Perfect place to have a drink. Our hut was basic but had everything you need- hot water, perfectly working air con, fan, little terrace, it was clean. Very good wifi. None of these things were working well in our previous accommodations that was more expensive. We booked 1 night snd ended up staying 3 nights. The hosts were really lovely and caring, food they prepared was super delicious, best we had on the island. We loved our stay.
