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 reviewWe are in Sri Lanka for the first time. There were questions and difficulties, like everyone who is travelling to a previously unknown country. And a great sense of gratitude is caused by people who help you adapt quickly and feel that everything is fine. For us, the BK Beach Hotel Hikkaduwa became such a place. It's an amazing place with amazing people who made our first days unforgettable. The guys organised a great and comfortable transfer from the airport, answered all the questions that arose during their stay, always went to meet and helped us with advice. Separately, I would like to mention the assistant manager of Naveen, a real professional and a wonderful responsive person. And an employee of Nipun organised a wonderful greeting for my girlfriend on her birthday, which we celebrated at the hotel The hotel itself is beautiful in everything. The rooms and premises are clean, neat and very stylish. Stunning view of the ocean from the balcony, where it's so nice to sit in the evenings! The staff constantly cleaned our room and changed linen and towels. The air conditioner and fan work perfectly, the plumbing and furniture are new, the bed is soft, Wi-Fi is fast, the pool is clean and has a perfect temperature. And the breakfasts are delicious, on the beautiful sand terrace overlooking the sea. The hotel staff approach their work with love, they put their soul into the hotel and you can see it at first glance We will definitely come to this beautiful hotel when we return to Sri Lanka again, because the BK Beach Hotel Hikkaduwa is the benchmark of what the real quality of hotels should be. If I had the opportunity to give 20 points, I would have given it without hesitation Thank you guys, you are the best!!!!

Verified reviewVery nice hotel and friendly staff who always want to help. The free tuktuk rides were very convenient and we loved lounging by the pool everyday. The breakfast and food in general was great too!
The location is not the best, a little far from everything, hence the tuktuk rides, and the beach was not very swimmable at this location so we would go to other beach clubs to spend the day. Another thing that was massively disappointing is that they marketed that there will be a masseur available everyday and the massage prices were good so we were all very excited but he never came on the 5 days we stayed there so that was a huge disappointment on our end.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our hospitality, the complimentary tuk-tuk service, relaxing poolside moments, and the quality of our food and breakfast. It truly means a lot to know our team made your stay comfortable. We do regret to learn about your disappointment regarding the spa service and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Your comments are important to us, and we are already taking steps to ensure better availability and consistency in this service for our valued guests. Regarding the location and beach conditions, we understand your concerns and appreciate your kind acknowledgment of our tuk-tuk service that aims to make travel more convenient. We hope to welcome you back again in the future and provide you with an even better experience. Warm regards, Management Team

Verified reviewGreat location, just next to the beach, though the sea is generally rough and not ideal for swimming. Slightly outside the main Hikkaduwa city area, the hotel offers good food and attentive staff. It’s a new property with two small swimming pools, making it suitable for solo travelers or couples.

Verified reviewVery nice design hotel, nice rooms even not the biggest ones, everyday cleaning including exchange of towels and sheets. Beautiful garden, small but comfortable pool, nice restaurant, very good breakfast (possibility to order day before to have them available on time you wish). Amazing massage right onsite overseeing ocean and enjoying great masseur.
I had groundfloor room which is a bit noisy as all staff walks there and back to kitchen, talking, being on phone, also there are seats at pool right in front of the room door so you can hear everything. If that door is soundproof, would be much better. If I go next time, I would definitely take the room in an upper floor.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback and for highlighting so many aspects you enjoyed — from the room design and daily housekeeping to our garden, pool, breakfast service, and especially the massage experience by the ocean. We are delighted to know these made your stay memorable. We appreciate your constructive comments regarding the ground floor room and the noise you experienced. Your suggestion is very valuable, and we will certainly look into ways to improve sound insulation and minimize disturbances. For your next visit, we would be happy to arrange an upper-floor room to ensure an even more relaxing experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back soon. Warm regards, Management Team

Verified reviewI love this hotel. It is right on Hikkadwa beach. They have beach beds but also beds at their pool. They also have a lap pool hidden away. The hotel is slightly off the main strip (which is what we wanted) but they provide a free tuk tuk service or you can walk the whole way down the beach. The decor of the hotel is boho chic and rooms are very nice. You can watch the sunset from your balcony. Staff were helpful. My only complaint is the bed is hard.

Verified reviewIt’s setting - directly on a beautiful beach - was perfect. Sitting on the bedroom balcony enjoying the cooling sea breeze and watching waves crashing on to shore was blissful. The hotel is situated a mile or so from the hectic Hikkaduwa beach and town, so it was very peaceful. The town beach is a wonderful 30-40 minute stroll away along the sea shore, or 5 minutes in the hotel complementary tuk tuk. The staff - every one of them - were really nice people, and very good at their jobs.
One small detail - the layout of our en-suite bathroom could have been designed better (toilet immediately behind the (part frosted) glass door.
