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 KingdomWe loved our stay here. All the staff were super helpful and friendly. We went for a room with sea view balcony and felt it was worth the extra money as the view was amazing. Spacious room and comfy bed. The peaceful private beach with free sun beds and umbrellas was definitely a highlight! We swam in the crystal clear water everyday. The food was delicious (especially the curries!) and the service was great. The hotel is slightly out of town but that didn’t bother us as it meant it was lovely and quiet, and the staff arranged cheaper tuktuks for us when we did go out. Thirukoneswaram Temple is walking distance and worth a visit! We would definitely recommend staying here if you want to relax and unwind :)

NetherlandsThere’s nothing not to like! It’s just a shame there’s not so much to do nearby. Go there for rest and relaxation!
Absolutely wonderful feeling from the moment I arrived and saw the beautiful sea though the little restaurant. Very happy I booked the deluxe room as the view was so amazing, waking up seeing the sun rise in bed is incredible… the room was so beautifully decorated and peaceful with lots of lovely touches. I’m so happy I stayed two night most to enjoy it, and to visit sacred Koneswaram temple a number of times. The staff were so kind, and the food and drinks were amazing. And you pretty much get the sea to yourself. Thank you.

Sri LankaWe didn’t like the breakfast, maybe it will be tastier for others.
The location was near to town and it was convenient to get what we needed from outside as well. And the rooms were very clean, quiet & beautiful. The our rooms had a balcony which clearly see the beach view. The dinner we ordered was delicious. And specially their customer service was amazing. They were very helpful and friendly. Definitely value for money.

Fantastic location right on the beach. Super helpful staff, got our air conditioning fixed on Christmas day, no problems. The room was lovely with a balcony looking out to sea (2nd floor is better than 1st floor). Breakfast is great but takes a while to be served so best you're not in a hurry. Would have stayed longer if we could.

The food was excellent, with breakfast included in the booking, and it was fresh and well-balanced. They were willing to customize the meal based on your special requests, if possible.

The rooms were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, as were the lobby and restaurant areas. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious!

GermanyTrinco Beach by DSK is perfectly situated right on the beach, offering an ideal setting for a relaxing stay. The hotel is clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to ensure guests have a great experience. The private beach loungers are a wonderful touch, adding to the comfort and convenience. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with prices that were fair. A special mention goes to Dilan, who did an exceptional job. We had an issue with the air conditioning, and he handled it perfectly, making sure everything was sorted efficiently. Overall, a fantastic stay – I highly recommend Trinco Beach by DSK for anyone visiting Trincomalee!

AustraliaWe were pretty happy all round and don't have any complaints!
The staff were really friendly and helpful! We arrived in the rain and they made sure our Tuk Tuk was parked safely and helped us with our bags! The place was beautiful right on the beach and the food at the restaurant was very nice! We wished we could of stayed longer! Highly recommend, it's only a little bit more a night then the other hotels in the area, but well worth it! Especially in off season!

AustraliaBeing on the third floor was great for the view but a little tiring to repeatedly walk the stairs. But it was probably good for my fitness.
Lovely lobby and restaurant with a direct ocean view and beach access. The decor has an almost Mediterranean holiday feel. The view from our room was special at all times of day, even at night with the lights of the fishing boats on the horizon. Dutch Bay is an idyllic beach for swimming and is also close to the historic Portuguese fort for exploring. Great local meals and very friendly staff.

AustraliaAmazing location on beautiful Dutch Bay. The rooms and bright and comfortable and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I have seen some comments about the sea view rooms having a roof in the way of the view. Please pay a little more for the superior or deluxe room (higher floor) as the views are great and it is worth the small amount extra. There are not many food places around s the property but that was okay as the chef here is greta and the food has been delicious. I would highly recommend this place.
