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 KingdomAs it was low season, the restaurant was being refurbished and was not available to dine in. Flocks of local crows could be annoying trying to scavenge food if you were dining outside.
Location excellent with a 30 second walk to beach. Staff were very friendly and attentive to all our needs. Sri Lankan breakfast was plentiful and very tasty.

Sri LankaWe had a wonderful stay at NN Beach Resort last weekend. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our requests and needs. Although it was not available in their usual menu, they prepared us special Srilankan breakfasts and dinners, which were mouthwatering. The beach, sea view and pool were also amazing. It was worth the price. Will be going back soon.

Super staff, helpful, nice, friendly. Super location, right on the beach. The beach at the hotel is clean. Nice landscape. Swimming pool is cool. Restaurant is good. The hotel is clean. The hotel does its best to improve its quality. Some critics you can read from old comments are not valid anymore. Really, I recommend.

United KingdomOur family room was only just clean enough - there was definitely room for improvement. Comfortable beds but with a light polyester duvet with no cover - a cotton sheet would have been preferred. The restaurant area produced tasty food but lacked any soul or vibe with uncomfortable seating. The relatively new manager is charming and he is gradually working on fixing aspects of the hotel that he knows could be better.
The location of this hotel on Nilaveli beach cannot be beaten. It is 100m down from the louder beach bars area - with all the local fishing boats in between. The pool is clean and large and the shaded palm tree area beside it is a beautiful place to sit in a hammock. The attractive huts on the hotels’ private beach area provide shade for the sun beds - the beach is clean and the sea great for body boarding (July). The staff are all friendly and some of them had a pro-active approach to the guests.

AustraliaThe pool could be cleaner. It didn't bother me as I am a beach lover and I just didn't put my head under in the pool. Ideally it would be great to have a mini bar and kettle in the rooms. Apart from that - it was amazing in every way!
The location was just perfect. Lovely shaded beach chairs to 'chill out' on and around a 300 mtr walk along the beach to the beach cafe's and restaurant. NN Beach Resort is a quieter resort, which is perfect and the beach bars are just so accessible. The rooms were excellent and so were the staff. I would definately stay here again.

GermanyOur first room was next to the water pump and very loud, besides that the sheets didn’t have any covers on them? The beach only has like ten sunbeds which are quite uncomfortable without a cushion. There are only about 5 cushions, which are very used and full of bird poo and broken. The pool had a lot of flies in them, which did not make it very appealing to swim in it.
The staff was extraordinary, they were really nice and did everything they could to make your stay amazing. They helped us get a new room at night (we were next to the water pump which was just to loud) after nine pm. Especially the two managers and the guys in the restaurant were super nice and always made sure we didn’t need anything. They even organised a city tour and a transport to our next city for a very fair price. Our second room was spacious and clean, which we liked. The hotel has a big pool and a private beach. The restaurant, especially the battered prawns, were very good.
