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.).

New ZealandAbsolutely nothing everything was amazing!
Absolutely everything this place was the best in every way. Beautiful facilities and room. Beautiful and helpful people who are happy to help whenever and for whatever than can. The food is beautiful and tasty and at a good price. We were able to stay for a few more hours in our room at a little cost as we were flying out at midnight. They offered to take us to town and the beach whenever we wanted in their tuk tuk for free. Sad to leave this beautiful place.

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay here. The property is beautiful, very relaxing. Extremely clean and beautiful design. The breakfast was ten out of ten. They will cook you whatever you like. The staff were unbelievable. Went above and beyond to help. They drop you wherever you want and the tuk tuk rides add to the fun. We would walk back from the beach and would take around 20 mins. They arranged a number of trips for us and made our stay completely stress free.We stayed here for five nights, a family of five in two chalets and can honestly say we would not be leaving if we hadn’t already paid for our second hotel. Our time here has been exceptional and we are sad to leave.

QatarThere are not enough words to describe how this place is wonderful. Starting from serene location, great ambience to unbelievable staff. Food is great also, guys are super flexible and they will do their best to prepare something even if it’s not on the menu. Free tuk tuk rides to the beach are also amazing. Special thanks to Kavindu and Neel for being amazing. P.S they have a newly opened restaurant White Tree so definitely check it out! I am definitely coming back next vacation.

Czech RepublicOne of the best stays in my life. The place is so tranqil, staff helpful, rooms clean, beds and pillows so comfortable, breakfast nice, food very good, great pool. You have a free tuktuk to get you in the city or to the beach. The rooms also smells good and everything was in a great condition and the bathroom was an experience by itself. You are kind of connected with the nature as there are real plants growing on the ground and it rains a bit inside the shower, which has something like waterfall. Really well done. Thank you.

United KingdomMany mosquitoes by pool/dining area in early evening. Would benefit from incense/burning mosquito coils in the evening like other places we had previously stayed. We ordered the pancake platter for breakfast but found the pancakes to be too undercooked for our liking so requested Neil to swap this for toast the following morning which we enjoyed.
Very spacious room and bathroom. Both AC and fan in room. Clean and well maintained. Comfortable bed. Quiet area for a good sleep. Hot water in shower in evenings but cooler in morning but this wasn't a problem as the bathroom has an outdoor feel so was warm anyway. Good lighting in rooms. Mosquito repellent plug-in provided in room. Neil (manager) was friendly and helpful. Accommodation provided free Tuk-tuk service to drop you to beach. You could message them/call to pick you up. However, we walked back (about 20 minute walk). Complementary water provided daily. We asked for hot oats for breakfast and enjoyed it. The fruit platter and fresh mango juice was tasty. Nice pool area with sun loungers. However, no umbrellas for shade but this was fine for us as we went for a swim after peak afternoon sun.

United KingdomNothing at the hotel. My only complaint is with booking.com The booking advised to pay in US dollars. I therefore pre loaded my travel card with us dollars. It was only after I paid that I found they don't accept dollars and was then charged a fee of $52.40. Had I known this I would have taken more cash or used my zero card with no fees. Very disappointed with booking.com.
Excellent choice of breakfast. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Couldn't do enough for us. Really appreciated the free tuktuk rides.

United KingdomThe only thing was the TV didn't work and although we had asked about it and the staff seemed to be sorting it out, nothing was mentioned in the end and as we were only staying for 2 nights it didn't seem worth asking them again to sort it out on day 2.
Rooms were clean and big, lovely light bathroom. Great food with large potions. Very quiet location.

Loved the warmth and hospitality of the staff. Food was quite tasty and the staff was very open to customizing the options for the two babies in our group. The property and rooms are very clean, and we loved the open bathrooms in particular, very nicely done. The location of the hotel is very close to the beach and other popular destinations.

Sri LankaWe loved everything!
This is honestly such a gem of a place. At first sight appears very small but each chalet has plenty of space and all amenities. There are only 5 chalets so everything is quite peaceful even when the place is fully booked. The bathroom in particular was absolutely glorious; one that gives the illusion of showering outdoors. The staff were incredible and even dropped us off at the station free of charge via the hotel tuktuk. The food was amazing (the parata with chicken curry for breakfast was a particular favourite). The property is a 15min walk from the beach and there's plenty of birds to see on the way, or if you request it, the hotel will get you there by tuktuk. Absolutely wonderful stay.

United KingdomJust be aware it’s a bit of a walk to the beach- but obviously they offer a free Tuktuk to combat this. We preferred being off the beach front so it didn’t matter!
Really beautiful little resort. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The restaurant was good and the free Tuktuk to the beach was great! We were unlucky with the weather whilst there but were so grateful it was such a nice place to be whilst stuck inside! They did a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast!
