Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

A lovely, homely welcoming place to stay. Very secure. Comfortable bed and great bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, fresh, varied and very filling. The whole place was spotlessly clean. It was lovely chatting to Aayu each day and being greated by her resident pet dog Brayu who didn’t bother anyone, was just happy to lay around. Access to the beach was very easy and just 10 mins walk. Loved being by the railway and seeing/hearing the local train go by. Aayu can provide lots of useful information and arranged a river safari for us which we thoroughly enjoyed. She also provided us with blankets to use on the beach. We missed Aayus hospitality as soon as we moved on, we would not hesitate to stay here again and happily recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Bentota. Aayu we missed Aayus hospitality you.

GermanyThe Guest House is in close proximity to Bentota train station and the beach. The rooms and the entire facility are very clean and tastefully decorated, the breakfast is very varied and plentiful. Everything is surpassed by the exceptional friendliness, helpfulness and hospitality of the owner, who is happy to answer questions, give tips and take very individual care of her guests.

PolandIf you are looking for a quiet, cosy guesthouse, this is your perfect match. Very close to the beach and restaurants, yet in a tranquil place. Host will treat you like a friend, very caring and helpful. Breakfast is another reason to stay - big and tasty. Super clean rooms and comfortable beds. :)

A simply wonderful 2 week stay amid a beautiful green oasis of carefully tended plants & a spotlessly clean & comfortable room. Aayu is an excellent hostess from the warm welcome excellent breakfasts and all the extra touches were much appreciated. We cannot recommend Aayu's place highly enough it is an absolute gem . We arrived as guests & departed as friends. See you again.

The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, clearly taking great care and pride in their work. The breakfast was outstanding, keeping us full for the entire day! The accommodation is in a fantastic location, with several restaurants and a supermarket nearby, and the beach just a two minute walk away. If we ever return to Bentota, we would absolutely stay here again.
