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.).

QatarThe room window looked out into the bar and pool area which meant that the curtain had to be kept closed most of the time for privacy. This area of Weligama does not have the cleanest of beaches! Very much litter making it feel a tad grubby. If I were to go back I would stay further towards Galle.
The room was basic but comfortable with good ac and a lovely hot shower. Bathroom and bedroom were very clean. The breakfast was good and enough. I had grilled prawns for dinner which were very tasty. Staff were friendly.

United KingdomWe had an issue with the air conditioning on our first night arrival. It wasn't working, the room was stifling hot and the unit was spilling water down the wall. The staff moved us to another room which in fact was at another building all together, but that didn't matter for the one night. The next day, the unit was still not fixed and we were told to move again to another room and then we would be back the nigh after. This was not ideal as we were expected to move from room to room without easy access to our luggage. My husband had a bit of an argument that if we were to move in another room ,we were staying there for the remainder. We were not moving again or we wanted a refund and go elsewhere. To be fair, the manager agreed we could move in to a bigger room and stay put. That was fine for us.
The location was good, right opposite the beach known as "Surfer's Paradise". The pool area was lovely and plenty of sun loungers if you wanted to chill. The breakfast was good and plentiful, choices of 4 different kinds. The rooms were large and clean. The staff friendly and polite. The accommodation was located not far from the busy town centre and the railway station. Easily enough to walk but very quick by tuk tuk. A few bars and restaurants located along the main street and down some of the side roads.

GeorgiaWe had two rooms… one room was awesome, but another had a smell of dampness.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. We could see the ocean from our balcony. Just across the road it’s a surfing beach for beginners. The breakfast was decent and nice.. not big variety though. The pool was clean as well and never crowded.

The rooms were clean and comfortable and air-conditioning worked great. Location for us was perfect. Directly across the street from the best part of the surf break. Lots of places to rent boards right there. Very easy walk to mant restaurants and town. Exceeded expectations and would definitely recommend. Great value for what you get.
