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.).

GermanyAs typical for Sri Lanka the bathroom was a little bit humid, but the room itself not!
The owner of the accommodation is a very kind guy with a huge sense of hospitality. There are only four rooms, and it’s really close to the amazing Rekawa Beach. From our balcony, we could see the ocean hidden behind palm trees. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was perfect, and we were offered the widest variety of foods during our entire stay in Sri Lanka.

SpainFor saying something, some finishing in the facilities could improve. For example the WC was not completely fixed in the floor so it moves when you sit on it. Not any big problems anyway. Also, the bed didn't have mosquito net, however we don't have any mosquito bites.
Green Turtle is the best hotel in Rekawa. If you want paradise beaches away from the bustle of the city, this is your place. The host is always helpfull and he answered all our requests with a big smile. He can help you to order a tuktuk with reasonable prices to go to other beaches or places in Tangalle. In the hotel area there are many restaurants and they have also finished the renovations in the hotel own restaurant. The room and the bed were very comfortable. The shower is in the middle of the bathroom but the floor dries very fast. Finally, breakfasts are amazing.

Very nice little hotel and restaurant just a couple meters away from beautiful, clean and almost empty beach. Great breakfasts and delicious food in restaurant + possibility of watching sea turtles at the beach makes this place one of the nicest and most relaxing spots we visited in Sri Lanka.

Poland- leaking sink in the bathroom, so when you are using, all bathroom is in water - you should better take care of the dogs nearby, just give them a fresh water, it’s not that hard

New ZealandExcellent location for participating in a turtle watch as it is just next door to the Conservation centre. Beach is very wild with a safe swimming hole at one end. Breakfast was fantastic. Due to our timing, arriving in the low season, there were only a few local facilities open, however the two restaurants that were, were extremely good and thoroughly recommend the Seafood Paradise for an awesome calamari curry and devilled prawns.

Lebanon1 min walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka, as well as the Turtle Watch Center. The room was clean and comfortable, the property is lush and very calm. Our host was exceptional, he helped us tremendously - my husband had stepped on a sea urchin, so he accompanied him to a local clinic and stayed with him for the entire hour making sure he was okay. The breakfast was also generous and delicious! We loved it so much, we can back even though we had booked somewhere else 🙏🏼
