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 family is incredibly kind and helpful. On fullmoon day they took us to three local temples and explained everything to us. This was a great experience. On our first evening, they offered us a special sri lankan Rice and Curry Dinner, which was also really nice. The food is delicious. Good value for money.

The most beautiful things in the world are not things, but people and emotions that they give. This hotel with its lovely hosts are our unique experience of touching life of great family and feeling their the most valuable guests in the middle of the jungles. I'm really grateful for the care and comfort we were surrounded from the very first minute of staying in this hotel, delicious and various national breakfasts every morning, very nice and really generous surprises and quick help in any questions we had during our visit of Sri-Lanka. Best attitude to the guests ever! My honest recommendations!

SpainIt was my third time in this accommodation and I’m always so happy to come back. The place will make you feel home away from home and the family it’s so nice and welcoming that you will feel like they become your family too. I definitely recommend to go places with the family because it’s going to give you really nice insight to the Srilankan culture. The accommodation itself it’s really clean and the bed is so comfortable. Location it’s perfect for surfers and lovers of nature and quiet environment. It’s situated by the river, so be ready for really nice views of riverside. Only disadvantage is the humidity which attracts flyes and mosquitoes. There is mosquitoes net in the room so you’re fine. Breakfast and dinner are made to your wishes, I preferred no spicy food and they always made it so delicious.

AustriaNo complaints. Everything was great.
The location was perfect for us, we enjoyed the tranquility of the river and surrounding nature while being only a short walk away from the beach and surf spots. We also enjoyed the food very much, a different kind of breakfast every morning (sometimes sweet, sometimes savoury, always a surprise) and beautiful plates with rice, curry including multiple different components in the evening. The best part though was the sweet family that made us feel very welcome.

GermanyThis place is truly a home away from home. The host family welcomed us warmly and from the first moment did everything to make us feel comfortable and to take care of us. The room is very cozy and clean and we enjoyed our time on the family property, hanging out at the riverside or on the rooftop terrace. The location is super calm while only a short walk away from the beach.

NetherlandsKosi Giggles Resort has been my favourite accommodation in Sri Lanka. Rashmi and her family were so lovely and took amazing care of me. I really felt like part of the family. The local breakfasts and dinners (they have a newly opened restaurant) were delicious. The room was clean and had everything I needed. The location is also a gem, with the river at the backyard. I hope to be back!

PolandWhat a great beginning of our trip! We’re glad we’ve found this place and experienced the hospitality and warmth of the family running the place. It’s a perfect place if you want to stay in a quiet area a bit further away from the busy and noisy streets and parties but still in the walking distance to the beach and the Weligama center. The place is situated by the river and and surprisingly there was not a lot of mosquitoes! Every morning the delicious (and huuuge) breakfast was served by the river edge in the sweet morning light under the palm trees. We also took a cooking class here which was a very interesting and delicious experience 😋Totally recommend!

United KingdomMy stay at Kosi Giggles far exceeded my expectations! The family took such good care of me and I felt so relaxed there. They cook delicious food, the breakfasts were big and I'd definitely recommend having a rice and curry there for dinner, it was the best I'd eaten in Sri Lanka! I even took a cooking class to learn how to make them which was so lovely and really interesting. They're situated right on the river surrounded by fruit trees and you can even spot iguanas chilling on their property. Being greeted by Gigi the sweetest dog every day was an added bonus 😊 they've also installed air con in the rooms so it's a very comfortable stay. I'd highly recommend staying at this lovely place.
