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...).

BelgiumEverything! Susee was THE BEST host we've had in 3 weeks of Sri Lanka. Helped us out with planning, making trips, moving us around. His daughters made us such an amazing breakfast, each day you get a different breakfast. Also one of our favorites we've had during our stay here! Every day of the week is a different breakfast. We also got a juice and a snack during the day!! The place is convenient as it has its private beach and it's not too far away from the center too. We'd love to come again! Greetings from Belgium & Germany, much love!

United KingdomNothing as we loved it all
Fabulous quiet location right on one of the most beautiful clean beaches in Sri Lanka that we have experienced. The owner Susee and his family are wonderful people who go out of their way to help you and provide great hospitality. He prepares the best (free) breakfast you will come across and his evening meal was great value and delicious too, along with a complimentary freshly made fruit juice at lunch time, brought to you with a smile on the beach. He can help you with anything at all you may need as he is a well respected local with many contacts and a wealth of information about his country. We are retuning 2 more times during our 10’weeks visit, as we haven’t found a place yet to match Susee villa.

PakistanSusee is a phenomenal host. Felt like a home away from home. The breakfast he made was outstanding. The private beach behind the location is simply serene and out of this world. The location is about a ten minute drive from the main city and great if you want to just relax and enjoy nature.

Very charismatic and kind owner of the villa. Susee is the best part in Bentota if you don’t take the ocean. It's very safe to leave your belongings in a room or near sunbeds. There aren't any strangers, only several tourists and Susee. The breakfasts are delicious, dinner with half a kilo of shrimp and delicious curry is simply great! And very cheap, about 10 euros per person. The location is the best - great beach and very secluded, almost no people, which is great. The entire shore is covered in crabs, which are very fun to feed with shrimp heads left over from dinner. The ocean is just super, although the waves are big. The rooms in the villa are quite cozy, like a country house format. Don't expect a lot from the rooms, but it is super good value for these money.

Susee helped me a lot, drove me to get tea, gave me medicine. He will show you around the best places you can go. And the breakfast is amazing. Be ready for the secret way to the beach, it is wonderful! Ah and try the pancakes!

SwedenThe only 2 minor things I feel the need to call out from my own perspective is that the property, being by the road, meant I could hear traffic day and night (albeit not very loud), it's still something I specifically tried to book to avoid. Also room has been marked "sea view" and "beach front" and strictly speaking it's 200m from the beach, and this I feel must be changed to reflect reality
Very close to a quiet beautiful beach, nice small family property, with a wonderful little garden. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable with aircon and fan, good shower, and small kitchenette, fridge and freezer. I have never in my life had such a great and personable host, Susee took great care of me from the moment I arrived up until I left and provided anything and beyond I could ask for. Food was homemade and exceptional quality, and on the sri Lankan new year I was invited into the family home for a feast of food!
