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 Arab EmiratesBeautiful villa, with beautiful gardens, pool and landscape. The villa is a 5 min Tuk Tuk ride to town and the beach.It is quiet, with many plants to make you feel relaxed. The manager and staff treated us like close friends . The rooms are large, with a great shower and strong WiFi. It is clean and very comfortable. Everyone is there to help you- and make you feel special. My family had a great time.

There was a slight problem with my room, however the staff quickly responded by upgrading my booking. All the staff are super friendly and helpful and a special thank you to Mrs Wickramasingha on reception who really was exceptional, going out of her way to help with everything that I needed and ensuring that my stay was perfect. The overall facilities both inside the rooms and outside in the garden and pool were excellent. The property location is very quiet and a short tuktuk ride into the near by town.

United KingdomThe safes in both rooms are too high, resulting in me leaving jewellery in there which very fortunately was found and handed in by a lovely, honest Danish lady. Kerstin has been brilliant and has said she will send the jewellery when she goes to Germany in May. I’m really grateful to her for taking the trouble to do this. The safe in my friend’s room was too high for her to reach so she used mine. This is the only criticism I have of the hotel, it was lovely.
Second time we’ve stayed there, this time in the penthouse. Very spacious, well furnished and comfortable.

United KingdomThis is a beautiful and serene property with the most welcoming and friendly staff especially Tharanga who was always smiling and extremely helpful. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom is well appointed. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. A tray with tea and coffee was provided on request. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The whole property is beautifully furnished with lots of great artwork. The tropical gardens are exceptional with a large pool with sunbeds, It’s a 15min walk to the beach, restaurants and bars or jump in a tuk tuk. We loved the jungle side setting and watched fruit bats, hummingbirds, and fireflies from our balcony. The owner made us feel very welcome and always took time to say hello and offer assistance.

United KingdomThis was such a gem for our stay. Staff very friendly. Accommodation walkable to the town, or tuktuk drivers were provided with journeys only 500r. We left very early so missed breakfast and the staff made us a packed lunch which was very thoughtful. Access to a washing machine for a modest fee. Great villa with comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. The pool area was spotless and great to relax in

AustraliaThe friendly helpful staff, pristine gardens and clean comfortable villa made our stay a time to remember. Meals are available until 5pm each day (8pm on Wednesdays) and are delicious. Nothing was ever an issue for the manager Karin, who could organise meals, snacks by the pool, advice on local shops and even have my suit case repaired by the villa’s maintenance man. The team spoke great English and were happy to talk with you and make your stay comfortable and relaxing.

NetherlandsThe Tropcial House feels like a hidden gem in Hikkaduwa. It’s a wonderful place to stay and relax, with beautiful rooms, a lush garden with swimming pool and very kind people. It’s a 5 min tuktuk ride to the center which means you can enjoy the jungle vibes (peacocks in trees) with the beach close by.

AustraliaGiven the location- you have to walk to Hikkaduwa town (which may be difficult in the heat), or take a tuk tuk. If you do the latter, the local tuk tuk cartel are some of the most pushy and aggressive touts we’ve come across. We would probably recommend using an app like Uber or PickMe to avoid getting overcharged.
Tropical House is located in the village of Hikkaduwa (away from the main beach) - it’s a lot quieter and more serene. The management is very welcoming and accommodating, and breakfast is excellent. We had a marvellous stay.
