Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe found the evening meal information a bit confusing and didn’t find a good restaurant nearby. This is a minor problem though compared with all the positive things.
The owners were so welcoming and helpful and tried so hard to give us a perfect stay. The location is amazing and we had an excellent room. Thank you.

Sri LankaSand on the foot coming into the tile paved room floor. There could have been a small transition area paved with stones and installed with a bib tap to clean foot before enter into the room.
The place was very good and well maintained. Friendly young staff, but they need little more training on the job. However, they attended all requests promptly.

AustraliaDidn't like the mould in the bathroom/shower. Went to the restaurant the first night for dinner and waited 15 mins with staff talking to what seemed like locals. Ended up leaving and going to a restaurant on the beach. Only half a roll of toilet paper supplied. Had to ask for more. Separately asked for some soap but it never arrived. Soap that was there originally had been wet and the paper stuck to it. Had to pick it off. Beach bar was never open during our stay.
Liked the nice location, comfortable bed and good air conditioner. Beach kept clean in front of the resort with good lounging options. Lovely gardens.

NetherlandsThe cleaning could be better. The bathroom and bedsheet were a bit old and worn out. There was a water boiler in the room but no coffee or tea facilities.
Our host Rashan was amazing! Very welcoming and making sure we had everything we needed! He helped us with some extra cleaning of the room, a great (requested) Sri Lankan breakfast en even taking Euro’s instead of national currency. Thank you for you hospitality and great service! Location is A+ on a beautiful green resort.

SpainThe seaview room is not worth it, you can't hardly see the sea, and the porch is overlooking the restaurant. Reserving tours/transport etc throught the hotel was a struggle.
The beachfront of the hotel was very nice, the best of Nilaveli brach. The garden is pretty with lots of flowers and showers for after the beach. The service was kind, specially Pragash.

NetherlandsAt night small animals will find a way into the beach cabin, so we had cockroaches, spiders and ants in the room… not hygienic. The food at this place is good but you have to ask for your curry in the morning for the coming night, otherwise they don’t make it. Also there was a wedding at this place. When there is a wedding, the restaurant is closed, so you will have to walk to another beach place to get some food. An average meal is around €5,- to €10,-. The tour to Pigeon Island is very expensive: €120,-/2 person. You can not snorkle at the beach directly in front of the resort, there is only sand and waves.
Beautiful location at the beach. You can chill all day long at the beach.

ItalyThe hotel should definitely put in place a Card payment. In 2023 is unacceptable to ask for such amount of cash.
Stunning place on Nilaveli beach. Beautiful bungalows inside a cozy beach village. Staff were very kind and helpful. Perfect place to relax on wide sand beaches.

NorwayThe staff was helpful, but a bit slow. Breakfast was ok, but could have been better. We haven't tried the restaurant, it was always empty for the dinner. Lots of birds steeling food and making noise. Not so comfortable to be in the area. They also burned the trash, lots of smoke. We used to have our meal at the nabours places. But for overnight, recommended. It was quite.
The room was nice with a beautiful garden view. In the room was everything you need for a few days. Hotel is straight on the beach. The beach was very nice. Everything in the hotel is a good value for money, but don't expect high quality. Location good, but the beach is quite, not so many restaurants or other hotels. Not so much to do in the area. Only overnight, eat somewhere close by and enjoy the beach. 30min tuk tuk drive to Trincomale for ATM or temples.

HungaryIt is not perfect yet, but we still enjoyed it very much. Some nuances: the faucet was rusty and wiggled around, there weren’t many places to put your stuff, etc. And be aware that this beach has crows gathering at night.
It is right on the beach, which hardly had any people, but also close to some places to eat. The beach was nice and clean, no trash, also sunbeds with shade are good to have. They provide breakfast, but lunch and dinner is also available. The garden is beautifully maintained. Room cleaning is done when you ask for it. The hosts are very kind and help with anything.

United KingdomWe weren't told that you needed to ask to get your room clean and hand your key in until half way through our stay. Beer prices were high compared to other places.
A lovely hotel with large Cabanas and a stunning garden. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was good and dinner more or less usual for local restaurants. The beach was truly beautiful and quiet with sunbeds and shades. I would suggest updating the photographs on booking.com to reflect the beautiful garden.

BelgiumRoshan and his wife Anita were really friendly. They asked us on numerous occasions to let them know when we needed anything, including room cleaning, provisions etc. The food was delicious. The absolute highlight is the fact that it is so child friendly. The location is wonderful for kids but it is the host Anita that is absolutely wonderful with kids. All in all a great place to come to rest when travelling through the country.

AustraliaBreakfast on our first morning was very underwhelming and disappointing for the price. However, Rashan and his wife had been away and did outdo themselves on our second morning.
The beach front location is superb. We basically had the whole beach to ourselves. It was clean and free from rubbish. The location is a little out of Trincomalee but ok for us because we had a driver. Rashan and his wife were lovely hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. Our villa was comfortable and clean and well located with easy access to the beach. Breakfast on our second morning was great.

Germanythere were a few things that stood out negatively: they say they provide cleaning of the floor in the room every second day but we actually had to beg them to do it and after asking a few times we got our rooms cleaned twice in one week. you will have sand everywhere from the beach so they should just do it daily. secondly, breakfast was always an issue. the Sri Lankan breakfast that we were supposed to have happened exactly once in a week and other than that it was toasts and omelette. needs some improvement for sure
next to the beach, basic rooms, quiet at night and in general an okay stay
