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 KingdomThe owner, Bianca, is lovely and very helpful. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. The hotel is right on the beach and offers a great range of beach chairs/loungers/beds etc. The swimming pool is clean and partially in the shade - great to enjoy in the midday sun. The sea is clear and warm, being a surf beach it is rough with strong currents, beautiful when you get pass the waves.

United States1. No coffee maker or kettle(available upon request) in the room. No coffee/tea supplies. Need to walk to the kitchen area and order drinks. 2. No television. 3. No phones in the room to call the front desk. Have to walk down to the front desk or use personal phone. 4. Internet/wifi signals is spotty and almost non existent in some parts of the building. One corner of the building near the road has strong signals. 5. Front desk is open during the day and closes for the night. The manager lives in the next room. If there is an emergency then we need to knock on the door for assistance. 6. No lift/elevator to the upper floors. 7. not completely sound proof rooms. On the last night, there was a beach party on the beach for tourists right in front of hotel. The music was loud and was blaring from 7 pm to 6 am in the morning. Did not get to sleep well. This happens once or twice a year it seems and not in the same place. 8. The blinds/curtains cannot darken the room, outside light filters in. 9. The balcony is outside the room in the common area. The windows are facing the common corridor and so no privacy. The curtain needs to be drawn all the time. 10. The rooms are sparsely decorated if at all. One had sliding glass door for entry and the others wood doors, I think.
Located on the beach. A nice pool. The breakfast and dinner was excellent. The staff were very nice and helpful. A small boutique hotel run by family members. Ms. Priyanka who manages this place has plans to renovate the place in the future. If she makes simple changes as indicated in what I didn't like below then the rating could increase to 8 or even 9. Each room, we stayed in three, are basic rooms with minimum essential furniture- a bed, a desk, a small sofa or a chair, a closet/cupboard for clothes and a safe deposit box. Some rooms had a small refrigerator. The rooms are small and comfortable for two.

IndiaWould have loved a hot water kettle in the room. A shower cubicle in the bathroom would help.
The location is amazing. Right on the beach. Breakfast is served near the pool, facing the beach. It is a lovely experience. Very kind staff, Edgar was so sweet. Bianca, the owner's daughter took really good care of us and is a wonderful host. Our room was a corner, sea-facing room and a good size, bathroom was huge. As you walk on the beach, there are many restaurants to try. The town is 10 mins by tuk tuk, about LKR 500.

United Kingdom.
The location is perfectly between Galle and Hikkaduwa (more Hikkaduwa). A Tuk Tuk into the town centre is around 350 Rupees. The hotel has a beautiful beach location. The waves are more for surf than swim, depends how adventurous you are! The owner and Edgar were truly amazing human beings. Bed was nice and comfy, room cozy with the bedsore lights and Breakfast was great! Would stay again!

AustraliaOn arrival we were told there were no credit card facilities and we had to pay cash. We had a three night stay, this drained our cash supply. When we questioned the manager, she was rude and unhelpful. The internet was slow or non existent and it took 24 hours to get it fixed The bathroom has a terrible smell, especially in the mornings. The linen was thread bare. Disappointing!

Sri LankaWe were really pleased with our stay at the Nico beach hotel as it is a fabulous hotel, modern and with all the facilities needed. It is ideally situated for visiting the many sights. also it is just closed to the beach where we had so much fun in the evening. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, especially the owner who were very friendly and helpful. We had our dinner which was delicious. Highly recommended 💚

United KingdomThe distance from town was well advertised, so not a surprise and nice and quiet, but we would have liked to be slightly nearer to some cafes & juice bars
The distance from the town meant the beach was quiet and felt almost private. The pool is beautifully clean, and the sunbeds looking out to the sea is so lovely. We really liked the outside dining and the staff were absolutely lovely. They went out of their way to make our visit special.

A very nice and cozy hotel with a warm atmosphere. The staff will greet you, feed you, give you advice, and help with everything. There are very pleasant people around. Nearby, just 200 meters along the beach, there is a really cool surf school (Dima Surf School). There’s a convenient surf spot next to the hotel for beginner surfers. It’s suitable for all categories of vacationers, from families with kids to young couples.
