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...).

GermanyThe only thing we did not like much was, that the costs of the extra service (tuktuk, food etc.) was not communicated. We still would have done all the things but it would have been better to know before.
We did enjoy our stay in Julianu a lot, the family was very friendly and they have taken good care of us. It's well located, so everything is reachable by walking. The curry we got for dinner was so delicious.

GermanyThe mattress was a bit hard for my liking but for one night I didn’t mind it too much.
It was my first night in a homestay in SL and if all of them are like Anu’s then I’ll definitely give it a try again! Very clean, very friendly, very quiet yet just a short foot walk to the beach. Lots of storage space in the room and a spacious bathroom. I should have stayed longer - next time then!

Anu and his family were some of the loveliest people we have met in Sri Lanka. Really accommodating and arranged breakfast, dinner and a visit to the turtle sanctuary for us. Their house is absolutely beautiful and the room is super modern and has absolutely everything you need, the bathroom especially was really nice. The location is fantastic, only a few minute walk to the closest beach and promenade where there are tons of restaurants. Would love to stay here again!

GermanyNothing really, maybe a mosquito net for the bed and some private outside area would've been great. But it's really no biggie
Very comfy, tasteful decorated accomodation in a central, still quiet area of Tangalle. The bed was comfortable too and the bathroom was the best. You share the terrace with the cute family of Anu. It didn't bother us, but for some people it might be good to know. The breakfast was delicious. And don't miss out on a homemade dinner too! One of the best food we had in Sri Lanka. The beach is just a 5 minutes walk away and Anu has good recommendations for the best beaches and other sights in the area. In general he was helpful with everything you need. We would definitely come back :) thanks guys!

United KingdomThere were a few geckos and some ants in the room/bathroom but don’t think that can be helped much! Also the door is a little tricky sometimes to lock with the key
The room and bathroom are nice and modern. The property is a short walk to the beach and loads of great restaurants. The host is very helpful, I also got my laundry done here which was returned to me the same day.

Calm, clean, quiet place in Tangalle. Very friendly host and his family. Big bathroom, good shared terrace, where you can sit and relax on the table with garden view. Comfortable bed. Good air condition.

PolandThere were some ants in the bateriom, but it didn’t bother us
Fantastic value for the money! Julianu is a lovely, relaxed guest house located just a few minutes away from the main Tangalle bus station and 2-3 mins from cafes and restaurant. The host is incredibly helpful, making sure you have every thing you may need and enjoy your time. He even took us with his Tuk Tuk to provate turtle watching at night. The bathroom is is arranged in a very modern style

PolandAll was perfect.
The room was really comfortable, clean and cozy. The new air conditioner worked really fine - was very quiet. Unique industrial style - not found anything similar in Sri Lanka so it was a really nice experience. The location is really good, because it is close to the city center and bars near the beach.

GermanyI had an incredible stay at this welcoming home in Sri Lanka ♥️ The family is absolutely adorable and goes above and beyond to care for their guests. They helped me with everything from organizing a scooter to showing me around the beach and navigating the bus system. The room and bathroom were spacious and newly renovated with a modern, minimalistic design. The porch was beautifully decorated with thoughtful details, reflecting the effort they put into making guests feel at home. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE VISITING SRI LANKA 🇱🇰✨
