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.).

Czech RepublicThe manager at this place is so helpful. She helped us arrange tuk tuk and a taxi to Negombo for great price. Housing was really nice, rooms were big and modern and breakfast was served and tasty. A lot of greenery in this housing. Location is good, a few minutes from the busy main street and beach. Thank you!

United KingdomThe view from the front room wasn’t great due to recent building but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Everything else was perfect.
This guest house is a perfect oasis in Unawatuna. It is spotlessly clean, the rooms beautifully decorated with everything you need (including a mosquito net) and set in a lovely calm tropical garden. We were well looked after by the best team (especially Gayani) who was so friendly. The breakfast was great too. Highly recommended!

BelarusNoise from the street was a bit disturbing, particularly at night. The lighting in the room was a bit dim and probably I'd have one more mirror in full size.
Nice villa with a few rooms to rent. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we also used laundry service which was very quick. Location is good, close to the central beach and also within walking distance from the Jungle beach - no need to use tuk tuk, you can have a nice walk through the jungle with great views. The villa was very comfortable with a pleasant garden when we had breakfast every morning. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable. The AC was doing a great job!

Czech RepublicThe only thing that surprised us about Unawatuna was that, at times, it felt like being in Moscow :) — which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage :)
We spent a wonderful 5 days at Alice in Paradise. The hosts were very kind and helped us with everything we needed. The breakfasts were excellent, offering both continental and Sri Lankan options. We were actually sad to leave. The location is great, and the beach is suitable for children. We also visited nearby beaches and were never disappointed. There are plenty of restaurants and shops in the area.

RomaniaThe rooms are quite big and very clean. We had everything that we needed. The place is a short walk distance from the main beach ( around 4 min). Breakfast is more than enough, homemade gem that is extremely tasty. When it comes to the staff, no words can describe their hospitality. Places become more beautiful because of people. I will definitely be returning soon!

GermanyPer accident we stayed in Unawatuna for a night and found this hidden gem online. The only thing we didn’t like was, that we couldn’t stay another night. All of the staff were so so nice, especially the owner. The rooms were amazing, the breakfast was one of the best we had and the place was very clean and beautifully decorated with flowers. We are seriously considering coming back. 100% recommend
