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.).

BulgariaThere is a difference between the main photos used as advertising, and the reality of the place. We were family of 5, with 3 kids. The cabana and the room were not close to one another, and the fact this room is above the kitchen is nowhere mentioned. Still was fine for a night!
Good breakfast! Interesting mistique feel to the place in the shades of the rooots! Nice beach!

SlovakiaThe overall atmosphere at this place was amazing. This is a home outside home. Massages were perfect, evening drinks and dinners on the beach, the local dog always guarding our doorstep during the night and many more wonderful memories of our stay. Barbara and all the staff were so helpful, welcoming and kind. You go to sleep with the sound of the waves and when you close your eyes you are looking forward for their wonderful breakfast :) We will definitely visit again next time we come to Sri Lanka.

BelgiumWhen there are that much musquitos, the bed needs a better musquitonet. One that is as big as the bed. Now it was centered in the middle with a ring and it needed replacement. There were holes in it. I sewd one myself and the ring came down. If the bed was made up by the staff, you needed half an hour to kill at least 8 musquitos inside the net. The price was a bit high in comparison to other places we have been.
Very beautiful cabins in a jungle at a big quiet beach. A beautiful calm romantic place. Very friendly personal, amazing good breakfast and in general good food. Top location.

United KingdomTrouble with communication. Emailed before to say we would be interested in the massage packages but we were told to sort on arrival. We asked a few times on the first 2 days and asked about bike hire too but kept being told they would get back to us with more info and never did.
Absolutely stunning location, beautiful beach, massive room which is really gorgeous. We really enjoyed the Sri Lankan breakfasts and ate at the restaurant almost every night. The food was delicious and the menu changed daily. Such a special place, we will be back if we decide to go back to Sri Lanka!

United KingdomNeeded tea making facilities in the cottage. Too many dogs at the property and stray dogs at the beach. They made so much noise and kept fighting. I felt harassed by them. This some how needs to be addressed.
A beautiful setting with amazing cottages and restaurant. The spa was very good too. Would have liked to have stayed longer. Beach was lovely.

GermanyJungle beach is an extremely beautiful small resort in the upper price range. Spread between mangrove trees a handful of bungalows and the restaurant seemingly disappear in nature. The tent-walled bungalows are spacious (except for the open bathrooms which are a bit on the small side), well maintained and well equipped. The beach in front of the resort is excellent and not very busy. Unfortunately we could spend only one night.
