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...).

Sri LankaThe only improvement I would suggest is the bed linen and towels, as they could use a little update for a more comfortable experience. But overall, the staff’s warmth and the beautiful location made it a stay to remember.
Wonderful Stay at Earl’s Reef Beruwala with Amazing Service! I recently stayed at Earl’s Reef Beruwala with my family, and we had a fantastic experience! The location of the hotel is perfect, just a short walk from the beach, and our room had an incredible sea view The hotel also has a lovely garden area that provided a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere during our stay. A special mention goes to the Food and Beverage staff, particularly Gihan, who made our dining experience so memorable. He was always attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to ensure we were well taken care of. We also want to thank Dilahra at the Front Office for being so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay — He truly made us feel like valued guests. The pool, though small, was always clean and well-maintained, Morning beach was amazing and evening beach times with he family was great too. The food was tasty and worth the price. The only improvement I would suggest is the bed linen and towels, as they could use a little update for a more comfortable experience. But overall, the staff’s warmth and the beautiful location made it a stay to remember. I highly recommend Earl’s Reef Beruwala for anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway with wonderful service and great views.!

Sri LankaThe breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets did not meet star-level standards; they were quite basic. Additionally, the restaurant staff did not replenish the buffet items once they ran out. When I inquired about this, the restaurant manager responded with an indifferent attitude.
The room is decent, and the place has a nice ambiance. The staff is generally fine, except for the restaurant manager.

SwedenThe hotel should invest in maintenance and repair of the hotel as you can see the signs the hotel needs renovation. There's not a lot staff can do in this case. When we checked in we realized the bathroom was not very clean and it had hair left from the previous guests. Management should train and educate staff. Wi-fi is not good and can be improved.
Great value for money. The staff is amazing and they are trying their best to accommodate your requests and give you a great service. Super calm and quiet and facing the beach. We preferred this hotel to Cinnamon Bay which is next to this, because Cinnamon was too crowded, including the garden and pool. Here we could use the pool without too many people and not a lot of children running around. The breakfast and dinner buffets were very nice as well.

IndiaService could be more prompt, as it took a while in fulfilling ask around stuff you need as part of your room: adapter, iron etc.
Staff was really kind..they upgraded us to a superior suite, especially the manager who made things happen promplty, as it was my sons bday and he wanted to stay in a room with a bath tub. They also arranged a cake for him, which made his day. The room was comfortable and big, bathroom too was really nice and the attached gallery had a fantastic view. We really had a good stay.

Romania- bathroom was very smelly and small - repeated breakfast - only one other restaurant close to the hotel (we had a car and that was not a problem for us) - during our stay the hotel, the elevator was not working - they did not have a place for our renovation - the room door was difficult to close
- location, right on the beach. We were during off season and the beach and pool were empty - private beach - a la carte menu from the restaurant was very good (even though we had to wait 2 hours for our food to come - maybe because it was off season. Their prices were a bit high compared with other places - the view from the room was amazing - very helpful staff
