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.).

EVERYTHING! The best breakfast-included of my entire life and i've travelled almost continuously for the past 6 years. It's a homely feeling with the luxuries of a cute AirBnB. The room, especially the bathrooms, are just so beautiful and photogenic. The breakfast is YUMMY and photogenic. I love the staff, their courtesy, and the service. We ordered some bar snacks so they sent trail mix which was fish-spiced - IT WAS SO GOOOOD

NetherlandsWe had a wonderful stay at Jini House. The owners gave us a very warm welcome. The room was comfortable and conveniently located close to the beach. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast twice during our stay. On the day of our departure, the owner helped us with the return of the Tuk Tuk and arranged transportation to the airport. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!

Great stay. Good breakfast. Lovely staff. The younger brother who is working there is very nice and friendly and makes your stay very pleasant. Good location for Kabalana beach, but long walking distance to the main area (which we did not mind).

ItalyMy partner and I spent one night at the Jini House and we were amazed by the service, the staff and the breakfast! The room was very naturalistic: with stones, ropes, a lot of light and plants. The breakfast was delicious and included a lot of food (eggs of your choice, sourdough bread, muesli, cake, pancakes etc.). It also has a swimming pool and it is positioned in a nice quiet area near the beach. Ideal place if you want to visit Ahanghama, Mirissa, and everything in between. We will definitely be back!

AustraliaWe loved it here - the location of Kabalana beach is great and much better and less crowded than Ahangama itself, it's a short walk to a great beach as well as excellent food options. The breakfasts and food at Jini House was also great, and we got use out of the pool and loved watching the monkeys play from our balcony. The location is lovely and quiet, perfect for sleeping but a walk or tutkuk will get you anywhere quickly too. The hosts and staff were fantastic, we will be coming back!

FranceWhat a great place to stay ! Super clean and comfortable. I got in super early and they let me store my luggage and got the room ready for ahead of time which was really appreciated. They continuously went above and beyond to ensure I was having a good stay. The beds are super comfy and the free breakfast is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen! Highly recommend!

NetherlandsOur stay at the Jini House was truly incredible. The room was spacious, clean, nicely decorated and in a great location, a walking distance from Kabalana beach, the best beach of Ahangama in my opinion. What made our stay memorable however, is the staff! They were so friendly, helpful and provided the best breakfast we had so far in Sri lanka! Would really recommend this place to anyone! We had the best time
