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.).

NorwayThe staff at Tobiko is great! Our rooms ac was broken, and within 10 minuites we got a new one. Comfortable bed and to big terraces for the guest to use. They also arranged dolphin safari for us and a driver to get us to Arugam Bay, all for very good value of money.

Sri LankaDifficult to find - but all solved!
Lovely hotel. Easy situation as very close to the beach. Some tuk tuk drivers found it hard to find, so we found it easier with a photo of the turn off the main road! Thoroughly recommend dinner at Island Flavors, which is a short tuk tuk ride away. Owner really helpful.

AustraliaThe room was too stuffed with 2 beds, made the big room feel very small. Bathroom needs upgrade.
The family who runs the business is extremely friendly and good hearted. They take care of stray dogs, they had a mum with 3 babies and we were told they will be sterilised and will send them to people who will keep them as pets and not let them be on the streets. Melted my heart 💜❤️

AustraliaThe couple who own the hotel are so lovely, and it was clear they sincerely cared about their patrons' comfort and safety. They were so accommodating and always willing to have a chat. Breakfast was included in our stay, and it was a delicious mixture of traditional Sri Lankan breakfast foods and western food. The beach is a very short walk from the hotel, and it is in a quiet area.

Sri LankaThe rooms were clean, comfortable and a great value. The owners of the property were very kind and accommodating, going well out of their way to help us make the most of our trip to Trinco. Included breakfast was great and there is very convenient access to one of the best beaches I've visited in Sri Lanka. The hotel also contributes to beach cleaning efforts which must be noted!

GermanyThere was no mosquito net but we didn't have any problems with mosquitos so maybe it's just not necessary in this area.
We had a wonderful time at Hotel Tobiko, which is located only a few meters from the Upuveli beach. The owners are very friendly and were more than willing to help us whenever we needed help. The breakfast was really good, always more than enough and had a good variety. We would definitely stay there again!

Sri LankaI liked the environment. The hotel is run by a couple. They are so great and pleasant. A great service was provided by them. It was exceptional. They take care of strays as well which is so lovable to see. Loved our stay there. And plus the beach is just 100m away. Navigating around the town was easier as well. Such a beautiful place. Highly recommended.
