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...).

United KingdomThe area itself. I did not do my research. This North East coastal area is strictly seasonal and it was a total waste of 3 days off my Sri Lanka trip going there. It's virtually deserted,no people and many places are closed or empty. The beaches are dirty and the ocean is not clear The seas are far too rough so all boats are grounded. Forget Pigeon Island,it's closed and that was the only reason I went there,to snorkel with the black tip sharks. I believe their season is February to August but please check? DO NOT GO IN NOVEMBER!!!!! You have been warned
Just about walking distance from getting off the overnight bus from Matara to Trincomilee. Staff were first class. Perfect English spoken and the Guy was very informative,he also arranged scooter hire. Breakfast was included so fantastic value for money.

United StatesMr and Mrs Jacob were truly a delight! We decided at the last minute to go to Trincomalee and they had two great rooms available plus a smaller room for our driver. They were kind, hospitable, generous hosts! The rooms were clean and in good condition with nice bathrooms. The breakfast which was included was DELICIOUS! They also were friendly, provided advice on places to eat and see and were incredibly kind and attentive to my autistic brother. Highly recommend this place to stay at a family owned place. We'll definitely be coming back!

AustraliaThe bed was probably the most comfortable we've had in Sri Lanka. The owners are very gentle and kind and the staff are excellent. We had the top level room facing the ocean and it was excellent. The breakfast was very delicious and filling. The owners feed the local dogs and so they hang around the front gate. Intially we were a bit unsure but the dogs were actually super friendly and act as security 🤣 and they don't go into the house. What they do for the street dogs is amazing as we have seen many strays in Sri Lanka and this is the first time we have seen them being so kindly looked after.

AustriaThe only thing could be the distance to the main centres of Trincomalee or Uppuveli, and that we had to pay in cash. However, these are minor things and totally fine in our opinion.
The host and his family are amazing! They were always extremely kind and very helpful with everything we needed. They take care of the stray dogs and showed us little puppies which is why there will be dogs around and in the house. They even shared a private parking spot for our TukTuk so that it is always save. Breakfast was different everyday and a mixture of traditional Sri Lankan cuisine and western options such as jam, butter, eggs, and toast. The house is located 1 min walk from the beach, however, the main beach of Uppuveli was a 20 mins walk which was fine in our opinion. When we left they made sure we were safely in our drivers car. One of the best accomodations we stayed in during our travels!!!

ChinaCoconut and onion salad for breakfast (is this salad?) It's very delicious. The breakfast is delicious. Everyone in the hotel is gentle and friendly. The male host helped me contact to see dolphins and go to Pigeon Island. All the arrangements were perfect and gave us all the help we needed. The hostess saw that I came back with the fruit and gave us plates and cutlery. She would also help patiently with some confusion about the use of the facilities. The room is very clean, close to uppuveli beach. It is also convenient to call tutu to the city center.

United KingdomNothing really, it was great value for money
The hotel is run by a husband and wife and really put so much effort into running this place. It's a humble place that serves really good Sri Lanka breakfast. The owners help to feed the local animals as there are a lot of strays in the area. The owners were lovely and so friendly and we had some laughs with them. We wish them all the best. They even spoke of setting up a farm where they can re-home the dogs and cats however due to the economic crisis they were unable to. Lovely place, lovely people in a top location.

Lovely owners who were always very willing to help us but were not pushy or intrusive. Filling breakfast (included) upstairs on the roof terrace Spacious room & bathroom with a lockable drawer Very close to the beach and a short tuk tuk ride to the main sites and a lovely beach bar, Fernandos. Loved the pet dogs and cats here too! Would recommend at this price point!

Sri LankaWe stayed two nights and we had a great time there. Uncle and Aunty (the owners) were great hosts. Very friendly. They quickly attended to all our needs and requests. Food was tasty. On our second night on the way to the hotel we had a flat tire (no spare wheel and no shops open at the time). We gave uncle a call and he came right away to where we had the accident and stayed with us until we get it fixed. He was extremely helpful.

RussiaIt was a really great experience for us. Jacob and Ivonn are people with big kind hearts and owners who help you with everything. The rooms are clean, the bed is comfy and they clean the room regularly. The breakfast here is absolutely amazing: local fresh food, different day by day, so delicious! The AC works perfectly and it helped us to survive when it was boiling hot. The beach is beautiful and there are many local cafes around. But the most wonderful thing is that you feel like at home in this place because of Jacob and Ivonn who make you feel that you are important. Now we are still travelling throughout Sri Lanka and no one in other places is as friendly as they are. 1000000% recommended.
