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 KingdomStaff were a bit pushy trying to get you to do other things at the hotel. Thought it was a bit of a shame that more traditional items weren’t offered for breakfast such as egg hoppers and pol pani.
We had an amazing room with great air con, Netflix, a super comfy bed and it was on two floors. Pool was lovely. Decor is gorgeous and it feels like you are in a little oasis outside of the Fort

AustriaThat we could not stay longer.
We were blown away by our stay at Villa White Queen! Our room was incredibly spacious and felt truly luxurious. The staff were exceptional—so friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The beautiful garden provides a tranquil setting to relax or enjoy a delicious breakfast. The pool is large and sparkling clean, perfect for a refreshing dip. The location is excellent; it's just a short tuk-tuk ride away from the historic Galle Fort. For the price, this level of quality is outstanding. We highly recommend this gem!

United Arab EmiratesNo alcohol available at pool bar, which would have been welcomed on a hot day. A breakfast menu of choices would have been helpful. We had to ask for a Sri Lankan Breakfast - which was provided and was delicious. However, if we didn't ask, it wouldn't have been made an option. Our room was not cleaned during our 2 night stay, and our water was not restocked.
Gorgeous hotel with a lovely pool. Location provided us with a quiet space, away from Galle Fort. Food was nice and fresh juice was tasty! Staff were friendly, and warm.

United KingdomWhilst food is available throughout the day, the options are limited for evening meals/dinner. We only ate in the hotel restaurant on one evening of our 5 night stay. All other evenings we ate in Galle as the variety of options was great. I think we would have done this irrespective, as we wanted to see more of the region.
Breakfast was very good - option of Sri Lankan or 'English' breakfast. Very nice and plentiful. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Room was fabulous, very spacious and comfortable for a family of 2 adults and 2 children.

United KingdomThe evening meal selection on the menu was quite limited but the food was delicious so we were very happy.
A wonderful property which was in a nice quiet spot a 20-30min walk from Galle Fort area. Set in lovely grounds with a fab pool which was surrounded by trees. We had a huge apartment over two levels which was ideal for a family. Lovely bathroom and excellent shower. There was an outside bathtub which looked fab but we didn’t use. Delicious evening meal and breakfast the next morning. Friendly and helpful staff.

United KingdomThe room could’ve done with higher quality furniture and due to the layout it wasn’t furnished very conveniently to maximise the space. Maybe some mesh screening on the bathroom windows and outside door to keep out the mosquitos?!
Beautiful property that we had to ourselves for most of the stay. Staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. It was a quick 5-min tuk tuk ride to Galle Fort, making it easy to go out for dinner. The breakfasts were great and we had dinner one evening, which was also lovely (however a very limited menu). Our room was huge and very comfortable!

United KingdomThe breakfast area gets quite hot and there were a few flies which my 2 year old didn’t like but they kindly served us breakfast in our room which was so lovely
One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! Wonderful staff, stunning property and beautiful clean rooms - we stayed in one of the villas as a family of 4 and were so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, esp the Sri Lankan one. Less than 10 min drive to Galle Fort and we also enjoyed going to the Turtle Sanctuary nearby. We loved our stay so much we went back for another night at the end of our trip. Will be recommending to anyone we know going to Sri Lanka.

We LOVED our stay at the Villa White Queen. Fabulous accommodation and the best staff. Without doubt one of our favourite stays anywhere (and we travel a lot) The room was lovely, very comfortable bed, good shower etc etc Food was also good. The pool area was perfect and the best place to cool down after a hot day sightseeing. Shout out to the fabulous Savinder and the wonderful team at Villa White Queen - friendly, helpful, sincere and just the best staff we have met on our travels - we are recommending a stay at Villa White Queen to all our friends and we will be back!
