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 KingdomIf you like surfing, wouldn’t necessarily recommend the surf school that is in front of the property, although you get discounts with the guest house, the boards weren’t great quality and the instructor we experienced wasn’t that friendly. (Although none of this directly impacted our stay at the guest house.)
Amazing location on the beach and close to everything we needed! The rooms were basic but had everything you needed, and were great for the price! The staff here were really lovely and welcoming, they even gave us free coconuts!

LatviaRight at the beach. You have your own space outside next to your room. The owner was very helpful. He called me to explain how to get there in the middle of the night. I was able to check in late. You can find cheaper options if you have low budget and planning to stay longer. But for this price it is quite decent place considering the fact it is right at the beach

SwedenHikkaduwa has changed quite a lot after Covid, quite expensive food including the hotels own restaurant. Greedy shop owners who are quite unfriendly and overcharge foreigners as much as possible. There are much better options for a beach holiday in Sri Lanka.
My old time favourite hotel when coming to Hikkaduwa. Still good value for money with a location on the beach but very quiet at night. Big comfortable bed with fan, hot water shower. Friendly owner and staff as ever before.

We can only confirm other reviews, we had big family room with air-con, comfortable beds, there is easy access to the beach with enough sunbeds available. We ate mostly in the guesthouse restaurant because the food was simply delicious. And the family of the owner is really doing everything so that you feel as the guest.

LithuaniaIf you get a room on the first floor, be aware that every morning will be noise, all the staff start getting ready for the day, so you will hear them, talking, cleaning, preparing in the kitchen and so on.
Good location, just a step from the beach on one side, and on the other side busy street life, all for shopping, dining or having a drink.Hotel have their own double sun beds with mattresses, bar and restorante. The room was very spacious and clean, with a small cosy terrace.

South AfricaThey have a sign saying this is your second home and nothing could be more true! Such an incredibly wonderful family running this guesthouse - kind, smiling and happy. It is right on the beach and the best part of the beach for swimming and surfing. The food in their restaurant is delicious and we had most of our meals there. My 2 night stay extended to 7 nights and we have already booked to go back! Rooms are big and spacious. Everything here is perfect!
