How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocation on the beach was great, room and view were great, and the pool was perfect for the hot weather. They also offered to go out and get some takeaway food for us whilst we were by the pool which was a good touch. Overall, a great stay if you're ending or starting your trip in Sri Lanka.
The door lock didn't work properly (to open, not for locking thankfully), but it did look like they were sorting it out. The room could do with a fresh lick of paint as well.
Thank you! Glad you loved the location and pool. We're already working on the room updates. Come back anytime!

Verified reviewThe view is good.
It’s just really DIRTY. Walls and floors really thin. If someone dropped cutlery on the top floor you’d probably hear it on level 1.
Thank you for your feedback. We're addressing the cleanliness and noise concerns immediately. We appreciate your comments.

Verified reviewAbsolute beach front, fantastic balcony, super comfy bed, rain shower, washing machine (but no clothes horse in the apartment, the staff may have had one but I just hung it on the furniture outside), located off the main street so it was really quiet, air con, really friendly staff, pool, basic gym, and a stones throw from some really good restaurants and bars. I had a wonderfully relaxing 3 nights here.
The apartment was spotless... except for the walls. There were food splashes all over the kitchen, hand prints and dirt marks everywhere, and the mould was atrocious. The roof and the walls were covered in it. Even taking into account that it’s a tropical location, it was excessive and clearly hasn’t been addressed in a long time. I wouldn’t stay here if you have respiratory issues.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the beachfront and other amenities. We're addressing the cleanliness issues and hope to welcome you back.

Verified reviewLocation and the size of the suite were both good.
Then noise from the loud speakers at the place of worship directly next door at 5:30 each morning was not good.
Thank you for your review. We're happy you enjoyed the location and suite size. We understand the noise from the place of worship next door was disruptive, and it only occurs once a month on Sundays. We apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control, but we are exploring options to minimize the impact on our guests.
