Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

New ZealandBring mosquito repellant and keep the door to the bathroom shut as it'll let in the mozzies!
We absolutely loved our stay at Club Mango. Super reasonably priced for what you get for it, excellent big pool, huge lovely room and comfortable bed. The main restaurant/hang out area was really nice. Main thing is the staff are absolutely amazing, we were so impressed with literally everyone working there, everyone was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The manager in particular was great and very attentive. We were travelling on our honeymoon and they did a beautiful welcome/happy honeymoon sign on our bed with fresh flowers and coconut leaves!! Perfect location for either diving at the excellent dive centre next door (Kalpitiya Dive Centre - highly recommend this, we had an excellent time with great visibility) or kitesurfing if this is up your alley. Delicious breakfasts, we also had dinners here which were fab. Bit of a drive away from civilisation but easy in a car. Close to Wilpattu NP - we stayed here after our time at Club Mango.

AustraliaI am prone to mosquito bites and they loved biting me. My room didn’t have mosquito netting so I was bothered by them at night, despite closing my doors and doing what I was advised to do. I did have mosquito repellent with me and used that at night to help. If you don’t get bit by mosquitoes this may not be a problem for you.
Tucked away just off the lagoon and a 15 minute guided walk across it to the beach through the brightly coloured fishing boats and passed the ‘whale museum’. A Secluded property with a friendly vibe, with potential for a great party atmosphere when in peak season! I was a solo traveller in off peak season, but loved having the place to myself, walking the beautiful beach, the colours are rich, you’ll see pretty shells and corals. The chef makes beautiful food and catered for my small appetite.

BelgiumReceived very well. Beautiful location with stunning sunsets. Everything is very neat and clean. They arrange everything down to the last detail, for example, transport (boat trip) and Wilpattu safari. Tip: ask the chef to put together your menu. This way, you get to taste everything (breakfast, lunch, dinner). We had a wonderfull stay, thank you!

United KingdomLike other reviews have said, there are a LOT of flies, particularly in the morning. One breakfast we were swarmed by dozens of flies making it very unpleasant. The pool could use some parasols to shade the sunbeds.
We stayed off-season and had the place mostly to ourselves, so it was very peaceful. Our room was cool and comfortable, and had a nice outdoor bathroom. The location by the lagoon and a short walk to the beach was fantastic (bear in mind it's not the kind of beach you can swim in). The food was great and the staff were helpful.

Sri LankaDue to surrounding farms using organic fertilizer ( chicken droppings) for their vegetations the surrounding area including this hotel infested with flies. Hotel is trying their best but still it’s a big issue
Good location . Different experience compared to other beaches in Sri Lanka. This hotel is in between a lagoon and the sea so area is famous for seafood and fruits

Czech RepublicEverything was great!
We visited the Kalpitiya area for the first time and couldn't imagine staying in any other hotel than Club Mango. From the first moment everyone was so nice to us, they offered to cook us a delicious rice and curry for lunch on arrival that perhaps no other in Sri Lanka surpassed. The chef would deserve at least a Michelin star for his cooking skills. We enjoyed a Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning and enjoyed seafood and fish for dinner. If you love Sri Lankan cuisine, love to eat and love uncrowded places, Club Mango is your best choice in Kalpitiya. We walked to the sea in the morning via 2 shallow lagoons. The staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms are stylish and big enough and of course the gorgeous outdoor bathroom overlooks the palm trees. Great experience and we will definitely be back!
