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...).

The manager Aruna and his staff were awesome. Aruna cooked us breakfast which was probably the best breakfast I’ve had anywhere in the world. His Sri Lanka breakfast with local delights ❤️ All very friendly. Beautiful backdrop of beach and sea.

What an absolutely magical stay. The location, right on the beach is stunning, the view from the immaculate room was incredible. But the best thing about the stay was the service. Aruna and his team were so friendly and attentive and the breakfast they prepared was the best we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. I highly recommend this place and wish we had more time to stay!

UkraineMy stay at Bieshu Beach Hive was nothing short of a dream. From the moment I arrived, it felt like stepping into paradise. The team at Bieshu Beach Hive truly goes above and beyond, and a special mention must go to Aruna, who was absolutely amazing. His warmth, helpfulness, and attention to detail made my stay unforgettable. Every request was met with a smile, and he ensured i felt completely at home.And the food—wow! It was out of this world. Every meal was a feast for the senses, blending fresh local ingredients with flavors that left me eagerly anticipating the next dish. From the breathtaking beachfront setting to the incredible service and cuisine, this was truly an amazing stay. Definitely recommend Bieshu beach hive!

United Arab EmiratesMyself and my family stayed at Bieshu Beach hive for three nights. I have to say it was our favourite place we stayed in Sri Lanka! The location is stunning, leading straight onto the beach. But the staff really made the experience special. The host Aruna was wonderful. We had dinner each night in the main area of the villa which opens up to the pool and the beach. Aruna cooked for us with ingredients he sourced, traditional Sri Lankan dishes. The food was exceptional! All of the staff were so helpful and friendly. We especially loved the eggplant curry and he kindly sent us the recipe. I can’t recommend this place highly enough for a peaceful, relaxing stay on the South Coast of Sri Lanka.

AustraliaWe had the most amazing stay in this beautiful beachfront villa. We were lucky enough to be the only ones there during our stay. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay in Sri Lanka is amazing. They organised scooters, safari’s and any day trips, provide recommendations on restaurants, airport transfers and anything else you need. The staff provide excellent service, one morning even making coffees at 3:45am before our 4am safari trip. Breakfast was great every morning , fresh fruit, eggs your way and juices. One morning they even made a Sri Lankan breakfast which was great. We had dinner twice for an additional charge for the ingredients which was so delicious. The facilities were great , big spacious clean room with a aircon, and a balcony overlooking the pool and beach. I would highly recommend this villa and thankyou to the team for making our trip a memorable one!

GermanyThe Villa is absolutly great! The manager aruna and staff were so unbelievable friendly and help us with everything immediatly (e.g. organizing a scooter, a amazing massage in our room). We had the family suite. It was really big and the view was just stunning. The beach was so quiet, not many people and the sunset was amazing. It‘s perfectly located between Galle and Mirissa and you can easily explore the area from there. Much more relaxing than staying in the crowded cities. They make you coffee and tea all day, get you coconuts and make fresh diffrent breakfast every day. i cant even count alle the positive things! Big recommendation!

United StatesWe had an amazing stay here for three nights in February. The rooms and accommodations were perfect for us and offered everything we needed. The hotel is right on the beach (perfect for walking in the mornings and evenings… you might even run into some turtles on the beach, like we did!), with a nice pool and the grounds are very secluded. The rooms are very modern and open with great AC, hot showers with good water pressure and nice balconies to enjoy the ocean. We slept wonderfully. However, the highlights are Aruna and his staff who did everything to make us comfortable. The breakfasts were all top notch with fresh juices, Sri Lankan style eggs and fresh toast and fruit. They also prepared a Sri Lankan breakfast, which was a treat. Aruna was able to arrange many things for us, including scooter rentals and gave us all sorts of tips and advice. His staff was always present and available and eager to serve. We really appreciate him and all of his efforts for making our stay so memorable. Thank you!

Such a beautiful quiet place with the best view. We used free upgrade offered by booking and stayed in family room. It is just amazing, huge and comfortable, you can see ocean so close from the big windows and balcony. It's like a dream house. Moreover it was just us on the villa as it wasn't booked that day. We didn't want to leave the room the next day 😀

AustriaWe were very disappointed with the accommodation. The rooms were not clean, there was no wardrobe, and no way to darken the room. The accommodation was not inviting for a relaxing stay. The garden was unkempt, the pool was overgrown with algae, there were no shaded areas, and no way to get snacks or drinks. Even at the beach, which is beautiful, there were no facilities to relax (no bar, no sunbeds, no shade). We spent our days in Ahangama and only came back to the hotel to sleep. For breakfast, like in many accommodations in Sri Lanka, there was toast with jam, fruit, and an omelette. We were the only guests, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable. We left earlier than planned because we simply felt uncomfortable and were really hoping for a accommodation we could use during the day. During our trip in Sri Lanka, we visited many other accommodations with the same price, and their standards are incomparable to this one.
Rooms are big and nicely furnished. The view is stunning. We loved walking at the beach. The staff is friendly and helps with organizing excursions.

AustraliaSheets were stained. Staff were not helpful in informing us as guests. No tea and coffee in the rooms. Beach was too rough for swimming. No shade by pool. When we did request a cup of tea, we told it would be an extra charge. Seemed the property was only interested in making money, not looking after guests. Staff broke a cup at breakfast service and it was left on the table for the whole entire breakfast whilst other staff walked around fluffing pillows!
The view from room was gorgeous
