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...).

France- Room is fairly small for the price - Room is somehow getting extremely hot (even at night) and fans are just fanning hot air. - No mosquito net but anti-mosquito plug provided - Train passing at the end of the garden is really noisy (luckily there are not so many) - Area is a bit pricy for what it is (touristy place)
- Owners are really lovely - Location is really great. Max 1 min from the beach

BelgiumNo AC in the room, only a fan, so can be a bit warm during the night but still doable.
Hosts were very kind and try to help you with all your questions. Room was big and bed was ok. Very close to the beach with not too many people so very good location.

United KingdomThe WiFi didn’t connect in our room, only outside the room, but this wasn’t a problem as I have a Sri Lankan sim with internet :)
The owners are so helpful, if we had a problem they would help us. I accidentally booked the wrong dates but they called me and I was able to change with no issues. One time we didn’t have hot water so they let us use another room to have a hot shower, this was very kind! They also gave us drinking water which was very kind. The location is so close to the beach which is great and lots of restaurants around. It’s about a 15/20 min walk to get to the main bit of ahangama but there’s lots of tuk tuks around as well if you need to get there quicker. The room was clean and the beds are comfortable. The owners are so friendly and nice!

AustraliaNothing really, but the wifi was hit and miss, but seems like the whole area was a bit of a black spot. Didn’t affect us as you can get a SIM card for $15 AUD with 50gb basically anywhere.
Dinesh and his family are lovely - they are very welcoming and go over and above to help you enjoy your stay in Ahangama. He got us a great deal on airport transfer, tuk tuks and rental scooters. He even got us a really good rate on currency exchange. The room was spacious, and clean. The bed and pillows were super comfy. It’s right over the road with a 2 minute walk to Kabalana beach, or 30 seconds if you cut through one of the big hotels ;) Will stay here again next time we visit Sri Lanka (for the 4th time ;) )

United Arab EmiratesDinesh and his family are amazing. They took such good care of us. We truly felt at home. They cooked delicious food everyday for us. Their house is really nice - it has a huge garden and terrace where you can enjoy your meals. The location is so prime - it is by the most beautiful surfing beach - Kabalana beach. Thank you so much to Dinesh and his family for a truly amazing stay!

Switzerlandi booked a room for 2 nights and ended up staying here for the remaining two and a half weeks of my vacation. the rooms are clean and comfortable and the accommodation is perfectly located for the beach. but by far the best thing here are the hosts. they are the friendliest and most helpful people i have met so far. they helped me with everything, i could rent a scooter very cheaply through them, i was always served with coffee, tea or water, the room was cleaned regularly, if there was a problem they always helped me and i could go to them with all my wishes. i not only spent my vacation time here but also made new friends! :)

There was no mosquito net but it was not a problem, we haven’t seen even one bug :) the location is perfect, right in front of the Kabalana beach. Totally recommend!

CanadaThis has by far been the best home stay I have ever stayed at. Dinesh and his family are so lovely & helpful! The room was very clean, and Dinesh and his wife were always available if I had any questions or needed help. The shower was good & hot (if you need help working it as I did, just ask Dinesh!). There are peacocks in the field next door and fireflies in the front yard- so magical. It is steps from Kabalana beach and very close to some great restaurants.
