Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomAs a woman travelling alone with my son, I could not have felt more safe or looked after by these guys. The genuine care was so clear, actively making sure we had the right price for things. As we left, when the front desk guys saw me carrying bags they literally ran to help me! The support was generous but at no point smothering and because everything was so appropriately priced I never felt like they had another motive, they simply cared. The vibes are so good here, I worried about having my 6year old boy at a place called Simply Peace interrupting the ambiance but everyone commingled so well. The property is gorgeous and stunning value. We had a great trip to Silent beach from here

Absolut lovely place and a must if you want to have a calm and beautiful place to stay at when you travel the south of Sri Lanka. The cabines are beautiful and very clean. We really enjoyed the stay and it was the best Hotel that we stayed in during our 3 Week vacation. Special highlights for me where the following: - super clean and beautiful pool and chill area that allowed us to really calm down and get a bit of rest. - Easy driving service organised be the hotel (they have their own cars with drivers) for super fair prices. In all cases we had super good and friendly drivers and the price was never higher than PickMe, but rather lower. - General friendliness of the staff and the owner was really amazing. We did also have a special situation, as my girlfriend got bitten by a dog at a random beach in Tangalle. The second we called the owner about the situation he organised everything for us, so when we got back to the hotel everything was organised for my girlfriend to get the vaccine against rabies. He pre called the hospital, reacted super understanding and supportive and he even drove us personally to the hospital, waited for us (until we told him he did not have to) and then send a car to pick us up. All of that was completely free of charge and afterwards the whole staff was constantly asking whether everything was good and cared even more. All in all a perfect location to feel save and supported so you can fully enjoy your vacation and reload your batteries. Fully recommend 11/10

The best place we stayed at in Sri Lanka! 12/10 would recommend! The staff is super lovely, welcoming and attentive. Especially I like to point out that they are super helpful. Whatever you need - also in emergencies - they help you super quickly! Also, they have very good drivers to take you wherever you need to go for a fair price. Apart from that the hotel is absolutely stunning. It’s so calming to stay there and just enjoy nature and the pool. Everything is super well maintained, the rooms are with a lovely interior, you have everything you need and it’s all super clean. Outside there are so many cool plants and animals to watch, for example monkeys.

FranceWe should call this place “Perfect Peace”! Everything is perfect: the spacious bungalow-style rooms, both simple and stylish, set far enough apart from each other; the garden beautifully lit at night; the pool with its view of the lagoon’s birds; the fresh and delicious food; the deserted beach just a three-minute walk away, where you can swim safely while watching the colorful fishing boats waiting for their time to set sail. But above all, the smiles, kindness, and constant attentiveness of the team and the owner, who anticipate your every need, make this place truly special. Even the dignified and silent cat, the peacocks, and the little dogs are gentle, discreet, and welcoming. Whether with family, as a couple, or in your own company, this is the perfect place to restore peace to both body and mind. Thank you!

United KingdomWe can only echo all the excellent reviews already posted. We are, however, regular annual visitors to Sri Lanka and over the years have travelled in many different areas of the country and experienced many different accommodation options. 'Simply Peace' stands out as one of our best choices. We were lucky enough to spend 16 nights there, longer than most guests, and it was an absolute joy. From its gorgeous location by a scenic lagoon to the lovely garden and pool - so beautifully maintained, to the best service throughout. The staff all work so well together with our daily needs and wants always provided with courtesy and cheerful smiles. Our bungalow was spacious, comfortable and well designed. The restaurant and attractive little bar area always open and welcoming. The food fresh and and tasty. The standard of cleanliness and laundry service all excellent too. Simply Peace has a superb Manager in Suresh and we must mention the 'front of house' duo, Chamika and Pancilu. Thank you and to all the Simply Peace team for making our visit so special.

United KingdomWe had high expectations based on the reviews and it didn’t disappoint - there wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
Simply Peace is a beautiful place to stay, it’s so relaxing and really enables you to switch off. It was exactly what we needed after a busy week exploring the Hill Country - it was a stunning pool to lie by for a few days and very comfortable, modern and spacious room. The young staff are a credit to the hotel; so kind, polite and attentive without being overbearing - we felt really taken care of and in good company. The manager, Suresh, goes out of his way to care for and get to know his guests. We had a minor medical issue and Suresh was kind enough to organise a driver to get us to Colombo and back at an incredibly reasonable rate and spoke to the hospital on our behalf. Simply Peace is a must if you’re visiting the South Coast.

United KingdomIt was cash only and very far from town. There was a a cash point in the nearby village, but that was quite a walk away. Would have spent more if we could have paid on card. The menu wasn’t that big - we were dissuaded from ordering the Sri Lankan curry at lunch, tried again at dinner and the team tried to dissuade us again - was a bit weird?
The pool was great, the views of the lake were amazing, especially at sunset.
