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...).

ItalyThe bathroom is small and you always have the floor wet after the shower. But it was fine Aniway.
The house is just in front of the beach. I was sleeping in the roof top room and the view of the ocean from the balcony is something really amazing. You can hear the sound of the waves during the night. The staff were really kind and sweet. You have also a little cozy area in front of the house for enjoy the beach and the also make dishes for breakfast lunch and dinner.

An excellent homestay right in front of the beach. Great homemade food. Good hospitality by Chandi Gaya and her family. A perfect place to make memories. You can spend endless time on the beach facing shacks. The restaurant has good vibes. The included breakfast was very well served.

MalaysiaIn tanggalle, all restaurants close by 9.30pm
The entire ambience of the guest house was brilliant. There's a vessel that sits on the premises after it was flung 20 years ago from the tsunami. They will make it into a beautiful room in time to come. Chandi the owner, it's an excellent host & good chef with delicious home cooked meals. The restaurant is right in front of the guest house on the beach. The entire family is so lovely. Definitely coming back. The room right at the top has the best view. The premise is surrounded by coconut trees, so it's shady & not hot.

GermanyChandi Gaya Chandi and her family are so warmly and helpful for anything you need. Rooms are in good homestay conditions, stunning view on and amazing sound of the ocean. Beach is right next to it. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Very local meals, homecooked and fresh. For me one of the best places to stay on southcoast. Rooms are clean, have mosquito nets, beds have a good size. Very good for people who want to get into the real sri lankan feeling. Would always come again!

PolandA wonderful place with an amazing location, right by the sea. My room had a balcony overlooking the ocean, which was a fantastic bonus. For this price, it’s an excellent deal! I ended up staying longer than I originally planned and would gladly return next year. The atmosphere is warm and family-like, and the room was very comfortable, especially for a solo traveler. Highly recommend! Great food in good prices!

AustraliaWhen we arrived we were told that the previous guests had failed to check out and were away swimming at the beach meaning we could not check into the room we had booked even though it was around 2pm. We went for some food and returned an hour later to find they had still not returned so we had to sit and wait. Finally at around 4.30pm the guests returned and vacated the room so we could check in. Once this was resolved we loved our stay here it was just unfortunate to arrive in this way.
The location of the property is amazing, literally on the beach. We would fall asleep at night being able to listen to the crashing of the waves outside. Just a beautiful location. Restaurant on site has probably the cheapest prices in the area and is right on the beach as well. Spacious room with mosquito nets and space outside to hang swimming clothes.
