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 reviewGood daily rate but the restaurant is expensive for the area. It is a little further out from the main Bentota beach so you need to travel to the best swimming. It's a good place if you don't kind getting a tul tuk to the best beach. The staff were very helpful and always available

Verified reviewFrom the moment we arrived in Bentota, we knew we had found somewhere special. The staff at Amal Beach welcomed us warmly, making us feel right at home. Our room perfectly matched the serene surroundings—spacious, relaxing, and full of character. The hotel’s beachfront is truly charming, with plenty of sunbeds and a breathtaking view of the ocean. As night falls, the bar comes to life, and there’s nothing better than watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand after a refreshing swim—it’s pure bliss. The hotel is also conveniently located near some fantastic restaurants, and a short tuk-tuk ride can take you anywhere you need to go. Sadly, we only had two nights here, but every moment was unforgettable.

Verified reviewWe felt very welcome at Amal Beach and found the employees friendly and attentive. Our room and balcony were both spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, including fresh juice, fruit platter, toast and marmelade, eggs, curd and fresh coffee or tea. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, nearby sandy beach and took advantage of the 3-day Ayurvedic package just across the road.

Building works going on right next to our room, we were only here for one night but if it was a longer stay we would have asked to be moved. Maybe we were assigned this room because we were only staying for one night.

Verified reviewThe hotel was amazing beachfront and exceeded expectations way far. The staff is absolutely fantastic, very helpful and very friendly. The hotel runs own restaurant and beach bar and both are superb. They serve fresh sea food, good choice of foods, very good breakfast. They have own green garden with pizza service in it. The room with balcony was very comfortable with very spacious bathroom. Few steps away from own beach with beach bar and sun beds. The beach is clean with perfect sand. Very green place. They can help to arrange sightseeing tours around, transfer to the airport and tuktuk to move around nearby village. The Manager and Front Office mangers are absolutely fantastic people and very helpful.
nothing - all was superb. there was railroad behind hotel fence - not bothered at all and not spoiled anything during staycation there.

Verified reviewAmaal Beach hotel is a beach resort which has its own private beach. Starting from the rooms, the rooms were good, well kept and clean. There were two eating areas, one in the hotel premises and one on the beach side, both places were gorgeous and will definitely give you tropical vibes. It's a great place to stay, but just make sure to spend 2-4 days here to actually enjoy and relax at this stay.

Verified reviewThe best place we stayed during our vacation. After making a full round of Sri Lanka this was our best pick. Excellent new year’s eve celebration . Clean and peaceful. On the beach only a handful of people- no crowds, no loud music, nothing. The perfect place to relax
Nothing in particular. Everything was so nice
