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.).

Sri LankaI absolutely loved staying at this hostel! The vibe was incredible super chill, social, and welcoming. It was so easy to meet people from all over the world, and we ended up going out together almost every night as a group. The staff were also amazing friendly, helpful, and always around if you needed anything. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the whole place had a really good energy. If you're looking for a place where you can meet awesome people and have a great time, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back

United KingdomThe safes in the dorm room need fixing as some of them didn’t work but I managed to find one that did as it wasn’t full.
This is the best dorm room I’ve ever stayed in - large air conditioned room with privacy curtains and bedside plug/light with 2 toilets and 2 (amazing!) showers. The showers had 3 settings and were very spacious with hot water, I was really impressed. Nice breakfast included which consisted of coffee or tea, and toast with eggs and marmalade. Staff are lovely and always greet you with a smile. Then of course there is the view of Mirissa Beach - wow! Just stunning especially for sunrise. Located close to the main beach but also a short walk to Secret Beach which I highly recommend for the most magical sunsets.

NetherlandsThe toilets and showers that are in the dorm are not fully sealed from the outside. Because of this, we opened the door to a surprise a few times (very large moths/insects, a few geckos). This could be easily solved by installing mesh in the gap between the ceiling and the top of the wall.
The staff are absolutely lovely. They are so kind and helpful. The included breakfast is delicious - we had the choice between a western breakfast (toast and eggs) and Sri Lankan (string hoppers and Dahl). Both options included fresh juice and tea or coffee. The view from the terrace is just as nice as in the photos. The dorm beds are comfortable but a bit small. I’m 179cm/5ft’10 and it was bordering on too small for me.

NorwayThe bed was a bit short for me (184 cm).
I loved the quiet location away from the busy main road. The facilities are great for such a good price. The breakfast was a typical simple breakfast, but good. The caretaker Bimal was super friendly and accommodating. I would definitely consider staying at this hostel again in the future

United KingdomOne small point was that there weren't any bins in the room or toilets (and yet signs asking guests not to put toilet paper down the toilet... So where does it go? And what about sanitary products? A bit odd!) Also no soap to wash hands with in the bathroom.
Beds were really comfy, curtains gave privacy, and lockers available for everyone. The view really is special and it's nice being away from the main road. Everything was clean, and cleaned every day.
