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.).

New ZealandThe consistent satisfied reviews say it all, but I will share too! Perfect for our last days in Sri Lanka! Dickman Resort is an absolute standout in Sri Lanka, offering a level of service and style that has unique sophistication. Service was Impeccable! Every staff member was warm, witty, and professional, making us feel like VIP guests rather than just visitors. It’s rare to find a team so well-trained in the finer details of hospitality. The gated buzzer entry ensures exclusivity. Location easy walk to restaurants,beach. Spa massages a MUST !! Breakfast - delicious and plentiful! The biggest luxury! No kids! As an adults-only resort, the atmosphere remains peaceful, intimate, and indulgent. The rooms are spacious, each with its own character. We stayed in the Red Room, which oozed romance while still carrying a masculine edge. This place delivers exactly what it promises: stylish, modern oasis, bold, chic aesthetics, impeccable attention to detail, and a truly boutique experience from the moment we arrived .

SwitzerlandThe furnishing of the individual rooms was simply fantastic. The feeling for the colors and the small details is like art. The staff, like the owner, are lovely and super friendly and accommodating. Everything is prepared with a lot of love and the included breakfast is the best I have ever had, sumptuous, fresh and again the small details like the butter and the jam on the table or how the fruit is cut. You simply have to see this hotel

North MacedoniaWonderful guesthouse in pleasant Negombo. Conversely located 5 mins from the Main Street and the beach. Tons of restaurants and bars to choose from there. 20 mins by car from the airport. 1 hour to Colombo. A perfect little oasis to rest, unwind and ease into your holiday. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Big pool. Lovely cafe/bar. Great value for money. Felt safe and well taken care of. Staff is stellar! Professional, pleasant, helpful! Loved them all, and plan to return.

NetherlandsCertainly the best resort to book in Negombo Beach. Close to the airport with an excellent location, walking distance from all you need. Large well designed rooms and a staff that will provide you with the best care. It was my first resort upon arrival in Sri Lanka. There wasn't a hotel or resort topping this one during my three weeks that followed while traveling around. I can't wait to come back next year again.
