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.).

NetherlandsThe location came close to staying in paradise. The tree cabana was very comfortable and the owners were welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay memorable, regardless of the spouse being days away from giving birth to their first child.

Lovely place, a bit far out of Tangalle, but right on a beautiful part of the beach and right next to turtle nesting sites if you're in the right season. Look for Saman on the beach, he's a lovely guy and will take you to the sites. Very respectful of the turtles. The family that run it are absolutely lovely, and the restaurant is good quality and reasonably priced.

An absolutely fantastic place, you are sitting in the jungle and you can actually hear the sound of the ocean (the name of the facility does not lie). The beach is wonderful, you can watch turtles. Great hosts.

We really enjoyed our stay, it was perfect! We stayed 3 nights. A really nice and helpful family. They were always available and ready to help us. For example one night we arrived a bit late and they still cooked dinner for us which was very nice. They also have laundry service. The room was big and clean with a nice balcony. The location is very nice, you are surrounded by nature and very close to the beach. The food was really really tasty and there was a lot of choice. This was definitely one of our best stays in Sri Lanka!

NetherlandsThere are many mosquitos so bring insect repellent. It's rather far from the center of Tangalle. It's about a 25min walk to the busstop at the mainroad. From there you can take any bus to the Tangalle busstation/town (40 LKR one way).
Wonderful place at a 5min walk from Tangalle beach. Very friendly family who runs the place. There is a very relaxed atmosphere and you have a nice patio to relax in front of the cabana. The room was clean. We enjoyed the tranquility of this part of Tangalle a lot. There's a very high chance of seeing monkeys in the neighborhood and seeing turtles nesting nearby in the evening.

United KingdomThis place is very remote but very peaceful and beautiful. The family who own it are very kind and helpful. Even helping with the recovery of our phone days after we had left which we had lost in a tuk tuk. It is a short walk to the Rekawa Beach but to note this beach is much too dangerous for swimming or even for children to play by the water. Stunning and so quiet though. The cabanas are simple but the place is very well kept and very clean. Food was good too.

DenmarkAn absolutely great experience to stay at Sea Sound. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and they e.g. cocked a great seafood Christmas dinner and took us fishing. It is located 3 min. walk from the beach, where there is a small turtle sanctuary, where they release the baby turtles around 18.30 pm. (Dec.-Jan.). Quiet place. Great for relaxing and for families.

PolandEverything was perfect.
Bungalows, porches(with hammocks!), garden - both accomodation and surrounding area is convenient and pleasant, nice to hang out even on hottest days. Bungalow itself is clean, spacious and conveniently arranged. The family owning the place is very nice and helpful, offered numerous advice, arranged great trip to Yala and transfer to Ella. The driver affiliated with the hotel is also sincerely nice and helpful person. Great food, nice variety of breakfasts - although Sri Lankan variant beats the other options (remember to ask for on previous). Place is remote it takes 10 minutes with tuk tuk to reach town. This has benefits as quiet at night(you hear just the animals and the sea of course), but be aware there are not much shopping options in surrounding area. But that's not a big problem as hotel's restaurant has or can arrange in short time most stuff you will need. The beach is couple of minutes walk, pretty and empty but hard to find a safe place for swimming(rough waves). There are some nice bars scattered along the beach in nearby area.
