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.).

United KingdomIn a few areas it could have done with touch ups with painting / repairs.
It was quiet and the perfect place to relax - it was away from the main town which is what we were after but also had a few options close by to eat in the evenings. Pool was accessible, clean, and had a great view of the ocean/beach. The staff were helpful and kind. We enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomThis could be such a nice hotel, but the upkeep of facilities is very obviously not being invested in. Most of the sun loungers are broken, some of the cushions torn. The sun shades are also very small so don't really give much shade, the furniture everywhere needs updating and replacing. Once you get over this it's a very nice place. The staff make up for all of this, they couldn't be more helpful and work extremely hard.
The location on Narigama beach is superb, fantastic beach and in a quiet area but only a tuk tuk ride away from lots of restaurants and shops. Nice pool and breakfast was also good. The staff are keeping this place afloat and work extremely hard and are very helpful.

FinlandRoom was big and nice. But overall there is big problem with damp. Mattress and pillows was very old and full of black moisture dots. And other big stains. And when you walk in your room you smell dump. (Yes, we stayed there still 3 nights. We only sleep in that room and all exrta time we spend elsewhere.) If you wanted your towels, wet clothes to dry, you must put them outside of the room. Balcony was big and lovely but with very old furnitures. Also lot of ants wondering around. Toilet was big. Shower has good water pressure but you can't decide if it is hot or cold water. Because it changed all the time even you put water to cold. There is A/C in room. But it works sometimes very well and sometimes not. There is small fridge in your room, but it wasn't cleaniest one. Breakfast was ok. Like you get your basics but dont expect too much. But don't buy it if you don't have it in your roomprice already. Its not worth that money. If you pay with card they add 3% to that check.. Afterall its a little bit shame. Those rooms needs to repair and take care. Change mattresses and pillows atleast to fresh ones. There is facilities to be much better hotel than this but i think they don't want to use money and interest to refresh that place up. So from our opinion its not worth that money. Get your money to elsewhere.
Location was excellent if you love peace. Yes, it is little bit far away from main area and mainbeach. But you can reach there with tuktuk in 5-10minutes. There are still nice restaurants near by. (Thusis, Two Brothers.) Pool was big and clean. Enough lovely sunbeds to everyone. Outside area was worth of the money. Staff was excellent and very helpful. They clean your room and change your towels if you ask them to.

United KingdomWi-Fi was shocking!
Really nice comfortable hotel. Huge bedroom, although not the ground floor corner room I had booked. Staff all really helpful. Organised our taxi back to the airport for USD70 which for a two hour trip was good value. Nice sunbeds overlooking the waves. Always quiet there but only 25 minute beach walk to all the restaurants etc. supermarket 2 mins away.

GermanyThere's no soap in the bathroom, only shower gel in shower. Considering the price they are charging, it should be included. In general, nothing bad, just price-performance ratio could be higher, probably partially due to location on the beachfront the price is inflated.
Good location on the beachfront, approx 4km (45min) beach-walk away from Hikkaduwa main beach. Hotel beach is good, there's no need to go to hikkaduwa, other than missing cocktails and snacks from beach bars and sunbeds on the beach. It's very quiet, some good restaurants close by, so you have enough options to go for a dinner or take tuk-tuk for few hundreds LKR and you are in Hikkaduwa.

SerbiaThe hotel is very old, needs renovation. It’s very hard to take off the key from the door. Breakfast is nothing special- you have option for Sri Lanka breakfast or Western breakfast (eggs and sausage, jam, fruit OR fruit juice and coffee). Last day we didn’t have time to eat breakfast so we took lunch box. It was just one sandwich with cheese- so disappointing for breakfast that cost 10$ per person. Hotel is too far from city center, around 3-4km. Nothing around hotel. In this part of the beach is also big waves
Hotel is on the beach with sun beds only at the hotel platform, not on the beach Employees are very kind with smile Swimming pool is nice and works from 8am- 9:30pm

United KingdomThe restaurant needs a little upgrade. We tried lunch one day (“burger”) and it wasn’t great, there are much better restaurants further along for a cheaper price. Even though we were upgraded the hotel needs a little refurb in places (the bath in the suite wasn’t even connected to the floor properly and when It rained the water came through into the bathroom) There was also a massive pigeon problem on our balcony, where they were nesting in the roof (I know this cannot be helped)
Beautiful beachfront hotel, lovely views and a beautiful pool. The staff were all so lovely and upgraded our room because there was a local party on, which we were really grateful for and it was a very considerate gesture! Breakfast was also great and not far from the turtle beach.

United KingdomPool area furniture, particularly the sun beds and umbrellas, in need of upgrade and repair but recognise that Covid has severely impacted hotel revenue for ongoing maintenance costs. Could do with additional sun umbrellas and bigger ones as not much shade from the heat. The hotel is at the end of Hikkaduwa and has limited bars and restaurants, though it's a short tuk-tuk ride to the busier area. Credit card payments have a surcharge.
Very pleasant beachfront hotel in the quieter area of town. We had a first floor front corner room, which was huge, with a wrap around balcony. The room was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast choice was good and the fruit plate was excellent. Even had a special "local" breakfast one day which gave us the opportunity to try new foods. Lovely pool. Buses to Galle and Hikkaduwa town are frequent and cheap and the bus-stop is very close to the the hotel. Would stay here again if in the Hikkaduwa area.
