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.).

GermanyThe room is nice and there is a very spacious balcony as well. The food at Sun Rest was very good and they also have a surfschool and surf rental. The hosts were really nice and caring and when I had a fever they were always ready to help! Also you can get to the beach in 2 minutes which was very nice!

AustraliaOnly negative thing is the bed wasn’t that comfortable and made a squeak sound which kept me awake but that could have just been my room. Also it would have been good to have a kettle in the room so I didn’t have to keep asking the hosts for hot water.
Great location super close to the beach but tucked away in a nice quiet spot. Very friendly and helpful hosts who can help arrange transport. The hosts can also cook for you which I didn’t have any food but is handy to know it’s there. Clean tidy rooms with the option of a/c or non a/c. Overall great little place and good value for money.

We had an amazing stay at Sunrest. Kamari and her family were so lovely and helpful. You should really try the Sri Lankan breakfast there, home-made and very delicious and nutritious. The rooms were very clean and pretty, the location was absolutely perfect, few steps from the beach. Absolutely all pros and no cons. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

AustraliaWhen we ordered breakfast some of it was ready (egg hoppers) before the agreed on time so had gone luke warm. Was still delicious and very generous serving and options though.
The host was lovely and very welcoming. The location was close to the beach and some nice restaurants (I can recommend Oh La La, it's a bit expensive by Sri Lankian standard but most things are in Mirissa or Dhana's Curry Pot which is a bit more of a walk along the beach, is cheaper, simpler but delicious). Also a nice stroll along to beach to Parrot rock and a bit further on Coconut Hill.

SwedenUpstairs rooms get very hot during the day, difficult to cool down with the fan only. Average breakfast which you can find better for the same price at outside independent restaurants.
Very friendly and welcoming host family. Nice small guesthouse very near to the beach but still very quiet at night. Big room with comfortable bed, clean bathroom with cold and hot shower. Nice balcony. AC available on request.

NetherlandsKumari and Samantha are the best hosts you can imagine, always a smile on their face and whenever you need something they are happy to help, if surfboards, tours, taxis and tuktuks. We really enjoyed the big and healthy Sri Lankan breakfast. Also this accommodation is just 50m away from the beach and all beach bars and restaurants. If you are looking for a great Sri Lankan experience, please pay them a visit. Book fast, because there are not many rooms and they tend to be booked very fast for a very good reason! Thanks to my Sri Lankan family!
