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...).

United Arab EmiratesPerfect start of our road trip. We spent there 2 days. Excellent location, right on the beach. Perfect for the kids. Helpful staff. Nice, cosy bar and restaurant setup on the sand. F&B available all day long (local and international). Dont expect much on the room though. Basic room standard. Nothing fancy.

Good location direct on the beach. Janu and his staff was really nice and did everything to make our stay unforgetable. In the restaurant you can enjoy the beautiful sunset with your feets in the sand and it has a good diversity of food and it‘s very tasty. The beach is so quiet and perfect to relaxx and enjoy! We would defenitly come back.

United KingdomWe loved the location of the hotel. This hotel was our last four days in Sri Lanka and we wanted to relax on the beach so the hotel was perfect. We did not leave the hotel as the food and drink were all lovely with lots of choice and great prices for a hotel on the beach. Last but not least a thank you to the amazing staff, it is small hotel so we knew them all. They made our stay even better. They work so hard to make you feel welcome they are a credit to the hotel.

ChinaWe booked a double room, which was very nice. However, the double rooms are in the back, away from the beach and next to the highway and railroad tracks, which is extremely noisy. We asked for a room change, but the hotel was full. Also, it rained and water was dripping from the ceiling onto the bed. Fortunately, we had a spare bed and could relocate. Be forewarned. Other than that, a nice hotel.
On the Beach, breakfast, restaurant, staff, pool all good. On the outskirts of the town, remote...need to take a TukTuk to go shopping, but uncrowded beaches.

GermanyThe hotel's section of beach is cleaned up in line with neighbouring properties, but there is definitely room for improvement. All sorts of washed up debris, including plastic waste, is raked into a hole every morning and covered with sand - a method that could be reconsidered for better environmental impact.
We are generally satisfied with the hotel. The staff is friendly and attentive. The room and bathroom are clean and there is plenty of storage space. The food is good but nothing special. Guests from other hotels also eat here, so it is advisable to book a table. As in many resorts, some guests claim the sun beds early in the morning by putting towels on them and returning to bed. Unfortunately, the hotel has little control over this practice.

GermanyWe had a bit bad luck with our room with the only window right into the entry hall. So we had the curtains closed all the time. But also no need to spend time in the room in this nice property right by the beach.
The location is great, right by the beach with sun beds for all guests. The beach is beautiful and less crowded. The staff was very kind and helpful. Both the Sri Lankan and the Continental breakfast were really good!

United KingdomThe hotel is very close to a busy road and railway line- we had ear plugs so it didn’t disturb our sleep, but it could do. Also our shower was cool - not a problem after being in the hot sun, but not so pleasant first thing.
A great, unpretentious place to spend a couple of days. The beach area was lovely, the food superb (fish platter was 10 out of 10) and I loved the 2 golden retrievers .
