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.).

IndiaThe breakfast options could be better
The hospitality here is top notch the staff were very welcoming and were very respectful when we saw the pictures of the place online we didn't feel very good but when we came here the place was just wonderful, waking up looking at this beach and the vibe here is just awesome. The complimentary head massage was just mind blowing so we went ahead and had a spa booked for us which was very very relaxing with the correct techniques.Overall i would 100% suggest this place to anyone

AustraliaHotel decor is now a bit dated. Design of hotel means even deluxe ocean view rooms do not fully look to the ocean but can be on an angle, which means you are looking at other room balconies and hotel lawns with partial ocean views. Some rooms are located a fair walk away from the main hotel areas.We asked to be moved for a full frontal ocean view. Hotel food and beverage prices are ridiculous. Having to pre pay through the link provided by the hotel to confirm booking was a bit of a hassle.
Great views of the beach throughout the hotel. Nice pool and pool area. Large room size. Breakfast offering is good. Staff friendly.

Sri LankaThe breakfast was mediocre. There seemed portion control as well - as you had to request more food or wait until things were refilled. But refilling were also minimal, enough to feed two more people at best. Sadly there has been no improvement in the range or quality of the food from our previous visit. Also just as we were about to leave- and sitting in our vehicle the receptionist came running to tell us that a towel was missing. We said that's not possible because we didn't use their bath towels and had taken our own. I ended up opening my suitcases in the middle of the road to prove my point.
The location is superb. The room was clean.

JapanThis hotel is in a great location in the town . We could walk to shops and restaurants easily. On arrival we received fruit juice and a head/shoulder massage. On leaving, we received coconut candy. Our room was small, but clean with a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. We were on the top floor and there are no elevators so it was a bit of a trek up and down. The pool was extremely clean and well maintained. There were plenty of comfortable sun loungers under the trees and around the pool. Note - you cannot wear a T-shirt in the pool. There was a good selection of western and Sri Lankan food for breakfast. Unfortunately there were lots of flies on the food despite being in a separate room with a closed door. I would definitely stay at this hotel again as it was a relaxing end to our busy two week travel around Sri Lanka.

United KingdomOur only grumble about this hotel is that there is no obvious lift, we were on the top floor which we had 3 flights of stairs to walk up and down. This wasn't a problem for us until we were leaving, we asked for someone to come and help us down with our suitcases however no one turned up, so we had to carry them down the 3 flights of stairs ourselves, which some may struggle with. We also asked for a car to take us to our next hotel, but a Tuk Tuk was called, so it was a bit of a squash with our suitcases as well. It was a shame our leaving experience was not as good as the welcome we were provided.
This hotel provides a wonderful welcome, it is set on a great beach and the grounds are lovely and well kept. The rooms are a good size and have everything that you need. The pool is large and clean. The hotel provides a wonderful buffet breakfast with lots of choice and the hotel is in a great location to walk into the main centre, with lots of bars and restaurants to choose from.

The resort was beautiful right on the beach and close to all the good cafes and eateries. The best part was the staff they were so very cordial and helpful. I wanted to celebrate my baby's first birthday and they did an excellent job in the decoration and made us feel special. Special mention to Dinushi from the restaurant who was so loving and pampered my daughter a lot. All other staff Sujith, Namal, Nimsara, Malith were also extremely polite and helpful. Janani made a lovely cake for my daughter. Manager Melvin was wonderful too. Overall I recommend this resort to everyone.

New ZealandWould be great to have room service for when you arrived jet lagged and have to wait until 7.30pm for dinner. Also some sushi type lunch options
Location was excellent for surfing Marshmellows, Sticks, and Insights. The dinner package was excellent value and breakfast buffet a huge range. Pool was clean entire time. The dinner menu had a great range of European options and was wonderfully cooked, as well as the local cuisine. ATM across the road handy and shops 50m down the road.
