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.).

CanadaGenerally good with no complaints. Nice to see renovations happening. Suggestion - Beach lounges could use some new pads and some small serving tables.
Breakfast not included but would have been nice. Location in front of rocky beach not ideal but close to two other beaches within short walking distance.

GermanyThe hotel is in need of several small but essential renovations, as many fixtures are either worn out or broken. Our room door did not stay closed unless locked, due to a misaligned mechanism. The shower had a damaged pan, which looked unappealing, and the glass shower door was defective, remaining open and causing the entire bathroom to flood after use. Additionally, all cabinet doors were either broken or squeaking and should be replaced. A thorough renovation of the rooms would be necessary to justify the price.
The hotel enjoys a great location in Hikkaduwa. Our room was spacious, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. We also appreciated the breakfast, which was both delicious and well-served. Additionally, upon requesting clean pillows, we were provided with brand-new ones, which was a thoughtful touch.

AustraliaThe beds were not overly comfortable but we managed. The hotel itself is a little out-dated but didnt impact our stay
The property is beautiful and spacious with lots of coconut trees that provide perfect shade on a hot day. We mostly hung out by the pool on the lounge chairs and hammock as it was very relaxing. The hotel restaurant has a great variety of options so we found ourselves ordering lunch and snacks when lounging near the pool. The hotel staff are wonderful and kind- it made our stay even more pleasant. The location is prime- views of the beach and sunset, as well as being close to Turtle Beach and other restaurants and hotels. The room was spacious and clean. Good value for money

AustraliaUnfortunately the property and especially the rooms/bathrooms are quite run down. The bed was really uncomfortable - terrible mattress that caved in the centre. The towels and sheets were a bit stained and just need refreshing. I’ve definitely stayed in worse places and the staff definitely made up for the run down feel of the place. Certainly didn’t hate our stay but there were my honest reviews. I would absolutely go back again if they updated the beds, linen and towels :)
The location was amazing walking distance to everywhere. All of the staff were so kind, friendly and super accommodating. They really went above and beyond to assist us and made our stay so much better!

The fact that it's right on the beach makes it a great choice. The room was as shown on booking.com with basic amenities. The staff was hospitable and the breakfast served was decent too. Good place for a budget stay, and nearby to major attractions in Hikkaduwa.

United KingdomThere was no offer to clean my room after the first night which would have been good. I was unaware of whether there was breakfast/restaurant available although I could have asked and assumed there was some options as I had a menu in my room.
The room was comfortable and a decent size. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. It has a great pool and view of the sea although the section of sea directly in front of the hotel is too rocky to swim in but you can just walk along a little bit to get to rock free sea for swimming.
