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 KingdomOne of the best places I have stayed in Sri Lanka, the family who owns the Beach Villa are the kindest people. I was lucky to stay over the Sri Lankan new year and celebrated with them. I also had breakfast and dinner at the villa and was always amazing. I will be back next time I visit Sri Lanka.

PolandNo mosquito nets in windows(only at the bed), so you have plenty of mosquitoes in the room. But gekons enter the room too, and they eat mosquitoes ;) If you take a room with air conditioning then there is no ventilation at all, everything is permanently closed and you have to run A/C all the time and open the door to cycle air.
Great localization just 2 min walk to the beach, close to main street with bars, restaurants and shops. At the same time it's a calm and quiet place with a nice patio and parking behind the fance. Amazing beaches all along the cost there, you can walk for hours. Beautiful place. Hosts are very nice and welcoming! Mosquito net at the bed.

AustraliaWhat's not to like?!
Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. They were determined that we should enjoy our stay. They provided two dinners and two breakfasts, all of which we enjoyed immensely. The bedroom and bathroom facilities were modern and comfortable, especially the mosquito nets! The villa is located right on the beach, and we had fun watching the local fishermen pull in their nets. Our hosts arranged transport when we needed it and advised us on where to go and what to see. The welcome cup of tea we were served upon arrival was most welcome after our long train ride! We had a wonderful stay and hope to return.

United KingdomWifi didn’t work for us. We had full bars and router right by the room, but I struggled to get it to do anything. I think we were surprised by the cost of the breakfast, almost as much as the prawn dinner there. Not a huge issue, but just as a note, it was the first accommodation we’ve been at where coffee was charged for (but it was also better so I didn’t mind paying). We had to take a tuk tuk to get to some nicer beaches but not too far, so again, not a major issue.
We were welcomed by three big smiles when we arrived. The room was clean, cool and comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The best coffee we’ve had at a stay in Sri Lanka so far.

NorwayThe family running the place are so sweet and eager to help. They were always there and smiling whenever we were coming and going. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the aircondition works well. Beds are big. The location is good, close to many restaurants. The beach right by the hotel is not so nice, but its only a few minutes walk to a better part of the beach. Bathroom window needs a mosquito cover because the mosquitoes comes in to the bathroom. Would also be nice with some better blankets for the bed. Right now it's beachtowels that barely covered me. Breakfast is good - seemed like there were some options to choose from. Only thing is that it's bit small for someone like me who enjoys a large Breakfast :) All in all a lovely place with good value for money. Its also quiet around the hotel at night.

NetherlandsDownstairs room can be a bit noisy because of early preparations for breakfast and people talking.
Lovely family owned Beach Villa, with basic rooms, just what you need, 2 steps away from the beach. The hospitality of the owners is amazing. My breakfast was included, lovely free tea all day, and the home made dinners were an absolutely a highlight of my stay!

CanadaThere should be a mop for the wet floor in the bathroom. The shower section is not separated from the rest of the bathroom so the floor gets wet after shower. The floor gets very slippery and it’s quite dangerous.
We had a great stay. Our host was very responsive and wonderful. They were always available when we needed them. It is well located just a few minutes from the beach and restaurants.

RomaniaI do not usually give reviews but this one I should rate. The staff was really nice with us, they meet us with local Sri Lankan tea and serve us tea whenever we want, without charging us extra, as a sign of welcoming. Also, the room was clean, so the bathroom, we had AC included in price which is a bless as there are a lot of mosquitoes (usually host ask for extra money in order to put on the AC) . Great thanks for the breakfast and the fact that our host made the breakfast even at 12 so they are adapting on your schedule. The couple host are amazing, in the evening we spend time together and they told us a lot about Sri Lanka. Kind people and nice villa! Totally recommend Sasagara Villa!
