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):
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.
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.).

FranceHad one unpleasant experience with the food.
The guest experience was one of the best from places we have stayed in. Special shout-out to Movindu and the staff from the pool bar! We had one hiccup during our stay. However because Movindu was always proactively checking up on us and because most of the staff from front desk to bar staff was kind and friendly, that negative experience was overshadowed by the positive ones. If you want to relax and have a peaceful time away from noise I would totally recommend this hotel. Ps. They have live music in the evenings.

AustraliaThe only issue we had was the bathroom in our suite was unsuitable for the elderly, as you had to climb a step and into the bathtub to have a shower. Due to the design of the bath and shower area, when having a shower the bathroom would be flooded and we had to keep using additional towels to mop up the water. The SPA services were quite expensive.
Buffet breakfast and dinner was excellent with a variety of Western and Sri Lankan cuisine. Service was commendable. Staff were very polite, obliging and helpful. Good location with beach access and a relaxed atmosphere. The suite we occupied was spacious with comfortable furniture and facilities. The room was large with a large comfortable bed. Clean and well maintained hotel with a large pool.

The facilities and location at Heritance Ahungalla are excellent, offering a relaxing and scenic atmosphere. The food was just okay, not particularly outstanding. While the front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming, the same level of warmth wasn’t consistent across the rest of the team. Overall, it’s a nice place to stay, especially for the location and amenities, but service quality could be more consistent.
