Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

It is the best homestay i had in Sri lanka. The location is great close to everything , but in a nice quiet and calm area , with lovely jungle behind the garden with monkeys roaming around. Room and all the amenities were great , very clean - even during your stay anytime you want you can get your room cleaned and towels changed. But the best part was the owner and his familys hospitality and care - they can provide you and help with anything you need ❤️

Definitely the best home stay experience in Sri Lanka! The hosts are incredibly friendly and thoughtful: if you need a taxi, they call one, if you want to go on an excursion, they organize it. The room is super clean and spacious with good ventilation, your own bathroom and kitchenette with a small fridge. I immediately felt at peace in the backyard which faces a small jungle with a fence. You can enjoy this scenery and the occasional monkey or iguana. The location of the home stay is great. It is a little bit more peaceful as it is a 15 min walk to the beach strip. Plus, the traditional breakfast is great and enough to fill your belly for lunch too. Lakhmali was kind enough to organize a cooking class for us and teach how to make dahl, coconut sambal and hoppers. LOVED the chocolate hoppers ❤️ Will definitely visit again when I get the chance!!!

AB NEST is a charming hotel with a very cozy atmosphere that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The facilities are warm and well-maintained, creating a relaxing environment perfect for unwinding. The staff treated us exceptionally well, always attentive to our needs and with a smile on their faces. Their kindness and dedication made our stay even more special. Without a doubt, it's a place you'll want to return to for the quality of service and the peaceful ambiance it offers. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic time at the guesthouse. The room was large and spacious, and is a perfect stay whether it’s a short term or long term one. The guesthouse is located in a quiet area just off the main road, where we could easily get to local markets and restaurants. Finally the owners are the some of the kindest people we have met - they really made us feel welcomed in their guesthouse and were one of the main reasons we had such a unique and pleasant stay! We hope to be back soon 😄

Incredible value for money, this was the best homestay we had in Sri Lanka. Very new and clean and the family is amazing, they also brought us many treats during our stay: fresh juice, hoppers, tea and they also offered to do our laundry. Highly recommended!

Nothing. Everything was perfect!
We loved our time here so much and wish we had booked to stay longer! Sumudu and his family are so sweet and their food is absolutely delicious. The room was huge and could sleep 4 people if needs be. The house is in the jungle so it is super peaceful and we could fall asleep to the sounds of the monkeys and birds. Hiriketiya beach is a lovely 15 minute walk away along a quiet road through the jungle. Sumudu has worked in many countries and his English is great. He has a taxi and can offer lifts and tours at very reasonable prices. His kids all speak amazing English and we had fab conversations. We cannot recommend this place high enough. The best value for money in Hiriketiya! Thank you Sumudu for looking after us so well. Koren and Mark Xx
