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 reviewFantastic place with an exceptionally friendly staff. I have stayed in many places in SriLanka and in Asia, in general - but this place is by the far the best place I have stayed in terms of rooms, atmosphere, price and owners. Delicious Breakfast. Very clean rooms and bathroom. I booked a room on ground floor, but the owner allowed me to use the balcony on the top floor. That was a great thing. If somebody need, you can book rooms and apartments with or without air conditioning if you wish, and you can also book rooms upstairs and downstairs. This place is truly a gem which very close to the beach.

Verified reviewThe location is super convenient, with plenty of nearby shops. The owner is incredibly kind and sweet, always welcoming guests with a warm smile, which really makes a difference. There are two room options: one with AC and one without. I made the mistake of not checking beforehand, and ended up picking the non-AC room. It wasn’t the best decision, as the warm weather made it tough to sleep at night. With such a great location, I definitely would’ve enjoyed my stay more in the AC room. Many beaches nearby, I went to turtle.beach by walk for 15 mins and local food shops near by too.

Verified reviewVery nice and comfortable room in a quiet area which close to the ocean. The place is clean, neat and budget friendly. We just want a room with aircondition but additionally our bathroom had a hot shower also. We stayed for one day and received excellent hospitality. There was an open sitting area with tables where you can work and eat. One of the best accommodation in our trip. I'd love to go there again. Thank you for everything!

Verified reviewOnly positive impressions! This small hotel is new and clean. My room was on the ground floor and it was enough for me. If anyone need upstairs, they have upstairs rooms also. My room had both aircondition and hot water. Had a convenient kitchen which can use common. Excellent location - In the very center, but at the same time not in a busy place. Fish market, Beach, Pharmacy and public transports are within walking distance. The owners are really nice, they always willing to help.

The Beach is about 4 minutes short walking distance. Would highly recommend & next time in Hikkaduwa would return to stay with this lovely family.
I honestly liked this stay and it would be more comfortable if having an Air conditioner in this room future
