Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SloveniaWe changed the rooms - first we were in Economy room but it was quite unpleasant (wholes around the windows etc.), so we asked for a Deluxe room which was very good!
The people who work there were really helpful, when we had any questions or request they always went above and beyond to meet our needs.

United KingdomWe had a couple of evening meals at Watuna due to heavy rain and it making it difficult to get out to eat. These could certainly have been better, in fact, the second night I couldn’t eat mine but no recompense was suggested.
Location good having a jungle vibe about it but not far from beach and restaurants. Breakfast was okay. There is a slight room for improvement.

United States of AmericaPart 1 (Economy Room): A small fan would have been a welcome addition to keep the mosquitos away. The bed was FIRM – maybe our only complaint. That and the WiFi was inconsistent in this area. Part 2 ("Upgrade"): After agreeing to a higher price for the “upgrade” and receiving the receipt, our host came to our room and told there was an oversight, a private booking for our new room, and we would have to go up one further level, an extra $5/night on top of the extra $3 from the initial upgrade. We didn’t like that room as much – no ceiling fan, just AC; inconsistent hot water; no good seating area inside; a lower profile mosquito cover that made the bed feel smaller. We liked the economy room more.
Part 1: We loved the economy room – spacious, good AC, a nice table inside, and outdoor seating area. Good hot water in the bathroom. The breakfast is good. The location was perfect for accessing the beach without being on the beach, very convenient for scuba at Sun Diving. We liked the small outdoor seating area. The WiFi was strong in common areas. Part 2: We extended, and all that was available were upgrade options. The biggest improvements were better WiFi and a nice, spacious balcony. Laundry 600Rs/kg

United KingdomWe had to leave after just 3 days ☹️. Will go there next time in Unawatuna 😊
Great location, just a few minutes walk from the beach and shops, cafes, restaurants. Unawatuna is beautiful. The room was spacious, big modern bathroom, big balcony, good shower and lovely breakfast with lots of fruit, toast, eggs and great tea. The balcony looked over the garden and towards the forest with monkeys in trees nearby and the sound of peacocks in the distance, and fireflies, magical! This was the nicest hotel we stayed in on our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. The staff were really friendly without being intrusive. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
