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...).

IrelandThat I had to leave 🥺
My best place in Sri Lanka. Ok it's a bit far from the sea but you can walk through a beautiful village or just ask for a lift. The owner has a tuk tuk and he is taking a fair price. The room was amazing with a kitchen and a great view (we were on top floor). The roof was great to see sunrise and sunset. Suranga, the owner is taking great care of whole premises and all guests. We even got a coconut from his garden. Great big bathroom, hot water, good pressure and a swiper to clean water from the floor. I will definitely stay again!

Best rooftop chilling area with beautiful views on the jungle and the sea. You could see big black monkeys, countless birds and beautiful sunrises. The location is quite remote, but the you can rent a scooter right at the accommodation from the owner for a very good price. The owner was always willing to help.

United StatesA hidden gem on the South Coast! This spacious, well-equipped room offers everything you need for a comfortable stay—AC, a mosquito net, a large bathroom, and even a kitchen. Nestled in nature and just a short walk from Sri Yoga, the rooftop provides a breathtaking sunrise view. The owner is incredibly kind and helpful, offering tuk-tuk rides or scooter rentals to explore the area. An amazing find—highly recommend! Well equipped for longer stay and WiFi worked well since he installed fiber.

BelgiumIn the budget there was a little bit of a smell. But the deluxe room had no smell! 😊
We booked two rooms for 3 people. The rooms are big and spaceous with a big bathroom and it’s own kitchen. Both rooms had 2 terraces each! It looks like the photos on booking. The owner is very friendly and helpful! He has his own tuktuk but also rents motorbikes. We enjoyed our stay here very much!

An outstanding property with a/c which was really welcome. Our room was vast with the ability to cook if we wanted! If you had a problem it was dealt with immediately. So refreshing. We didn’t want to leave. The sunrises and sunsets were a joy to behold from our balcony. It was a beautiful and very peaceful place to be and we were high up above the trees. Suranga always had his tuk tuk available when we needed to go anywhere. Everything was done with a smile. We wish you and your delightful family well Suranga. Thank you for making us SO welcome. Can’t wait to visit again! Suranga is in the process of building a restaurant at his property which will make this accommodation even more perfect.

The name says it all "Sun & Moon"... from the rooftop, you'll see the sunrise, the sunset and the moon. Quite the views, very impressive, over the jungle, still have a vivid memory of the beautiful sunset. The property is in a super quiet neighbourhood (you'll get good quality sleep), the room is big, the owner lives next door and is always available to help you. I strongly recommend this property

And he also rented us his scooter which was at a really good price! The bathroom was really big too, the private kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for cooking! There was complete privacy for ourselves! The room as well as the bathroom was so clean! His hospitality was really 10/10 !

IndiaWe stayed two nights at Suranga's place. It was a studio apartment well equipped with all the amenities. It was clean and spacious and surrounded by greenery. We had a great time there, Suranga was very accommodating, he also arranged us a scooter and also dropped us to our next destination at a very low cost in his Tuk Tuk. I highly recommend his stay.

Exceptional place. Tucked away on top of a hill, lots of trees around, with a beautiful private garden. Comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen in the room with everything necessary for a short stay and in case of a particular request the owners are in the house next door and very keen to help. There is attention to detail, like little kitchen towel and a box of tea, also a fridge and the gas cooker. The whole place is tidy, neat and clean. A very pleasant experience.

GermanyThe view from the roof terrace was stunning especially during sunset and in the morning! Very friendly and motivated staff, very clean room. Fair price for renting a motorbike, which I would definitely recommend in the Unawatuna/Galle area. Also the fully equipped kitchen in the room was really nice to have! We loved it and definitely recommend it!

RussiaThis is really awesome place. The villa is located on the top of a small hill, away from the main road, in the quiet and calm area, surrounded by local homes and trees. Only sounds of nature and birdsongs. The villa has three spacious rooms and a rooftop, where you can relax and watch sunrises and sunsets. The rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay: a large bed, a/c, kitchen with a small fridge, gas stove, kettle and other stuff for cooking. We stayed here for about four months and everything was great. The owners are amazing and always ready to help you with any issues. My husband and I had a great stay here. Highly recommended.

NorwayI had a very pleasent stay at Sun & Moon. I stayed here for about four weeks and everything was great. I was so happy with this place that I came back and stayed for another three weeks. The rooms have a very good standard, they are clean and they come with a small kitchen with a stovetop, fridge, waterkettle, etc. so its possible to cook at home. No washing mashine in the room, but the owners offer laundry service. So you really have everything you need here. The place is located in a quiet part of Unawatuna/Talpe, away from the busi main road (30 min walk). So if you like a peaceful and calm stay, you should come here! I also have to mention the rooftop that has a beautiful, all around view where you can enjoy both the sunrise and sunset, and you can see the ocean and jungle. The place is also located a ten minute walk from Sri Yoga Shala, which offers high quality yoga classes. The owners are simply wonderful and ready to help and assist at any time. They have tuktuk service and bike rental, which is nice as the place is located a little bit away from the local grocery stores, restaurants and beaches. But its no problem getting around here. I would stay here again without a doubt :-)

ThailandYou should drive a motorbike or catch a tuk-tuk to get to Unawatuna beach. The nearest beach, Dalawella, is in 20 min walk.
The villa is located in a very quiet area at the top of a small hill and has a little garden. We could observe the neighborhood and a piece of the ocean as well from the top roof area equipped with a table, chairs, and a hammock. The room was spacious enough, well equipped, air conditioned, and cleaned once a week. The owner and his assistant were extremely friendly and helpful responding promptly to all our requests. I rented a motorbike from them, which was much cheaper than in the rentals in Unawatuna.

GermanyWe had a really nice stay there. The room was really big and clean, the stuff was so nice and welcoming. We could rent a scooter at the guesthouse, which was really perfekt, because it is located in a village up a hill and you need some time to go by feet to the beach or to the restaurants. You get also a delicious breakfast and one highlight is the roofterasse with a stunning view!

rented a king room for 4 month (initially planned for 1 month). Waking up with sunshine instead of alarm clock. Every morning meditation on roof top. Amazing owners, helped with everything- bike rental, shopping, fresh fish delivery
