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.).

If your looking for an affordable comfortable place in the heart of hiri look no further! Run by a friendly family, we loved our stay here, just a little walk away from the main drag it was far enough away to be quiet but close enough to enjoy the local amenities, the room was spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the countryside. Perfect accom for us!

Such a wonderful stay here. We ended up staying for 3 weeks. It’s owned by a lovely family that give their full heart to the place. The rooms are super clean and comfortable, and the host is so nice and respectful. There is a small kitchen where you can cool, and tables to sit at. It’s very conveniently located, a short walk from Hiriketiya beach and from Dikwella alike. Such good value for money. You can book this place with your eyes closed, it’s wonderful.

United KingdomWe had a wonderful time at B&B charm. It's super clean and comfortable. We had great balcony. The family are warm and welcoming. The location could not be better 7 minutes in one direction to busy heritekeya beach and 7 minutes in the other to Dickwella beach and town..a genuinely great location for seeing local life and tourist life! Whilst we were there there local 'jungle' dogs were very vocal at night! So definitely stay here, there's nothing not to love .. but either drink plenty of arrack or take some ear plugs for the night time ☺️☺️ .. also get up early and watch the wildlife in the neighborhood ..

The location is very convenient, away from the busy nightlife but walkable to everything. The room is clean and good. But the key point is that Suraj (and his family also) is a great host. We had a medical emergency and he quickly drove us to the doctor and pharmacy at night without hesitation and was very helpful.

GermanyThis place was spotless! Super clean room and bathroom, nice big beds, AC, lots of outlets, lots of lights (which I personally like) really good area close to Hiriketiya and Dickwella Beach, hosts where super nice. I wanted to stay longer but it was booked out. The host drove me to my new place with his TukTuk accompanied by his adorable little son. I really liked this place and would recommend it. Also nice and quiet at night but not to far away from bars and restaurants.

United Kingdom- no hot water though this is pretty common - no A/C so did get a little hot at times but the fan helped with this - the washing machine is currently broken so if this is some you want, perhaps check before booking if it is working. We instead paid for washing to be done for us by the owners which was done quickly and reasonably priced so all worked out well.
- big spacious rooms - mosquito net provided - easy check in and check out - great location between the two beaches - Hiriketiya and Dickwella - fan in the room

United KingdomCan't fault anything.
Nice clean room with excellent facilities, good location (not far from the beach) and really good value for money in Hiri - would highly recommend. The owner and his family made us feel very welcome and were always on hand to help us if we needed it. Property is kept very clean and the facilities in the room and shared kitchen are exactly what you need. It's a very chilled out place and the perfect place to stay.

IrelandNo hot water in the showers but this is similar in most places in Sri Lanka so it’s not a big deal.
This was probably the best place we stayed in when travelling Sri Lanka. It’s all very modern and new. Our room was lovely and spacious and we felt the fan was more than enough to keep cool. Everything was spotless and the hosts seemed nice .
