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...).

RomaniaNo bin for trash in the room, no soap, no towels, bathrooms smelled bad. Staff was also not very helpful, they charged 500 lkr extra for earlier checkin, even though there were no other guests there.
Good positioning, close to the beach.

United KingdomBathroom could do with a deep clean & attention to the shower head. Fridge in room did not work well (turned on but didn’t get cold). Coconuts falling on to the tin roof in the middle of the night (not sure if this is something that can be helped).
Good value for money, a pool table (although it was wonky and tired, so could do with replacing - but we made it work), clean & spacious bedroom, attentive staff, quiet area.

NetherlandsThe cabins are not very soundproof. In other words, you hear everything from next door. Not really a problem for me but something to know.
Nice cabin. Clean and comfortable. Like a 5-10 minute walk to good restaurants and beach bar. Came for 1 night but stayed 2.

United KingdomWifi and hot water wasn't great. Lack of wifi makes ordering pick-me cab service hard or looking up things to do. Lack of hot water isn't great when you have kids.
The owner Lale is lovely and very accomodating. Lovely rustic place. Attractive huts. Perfect for couples and backpackers

United KingdomA/C worked but remote stopped working in the night. The bed sheet was small for two people sharing. Worth mentioning that music was playing till quite late (around 11pm) however this was no a problem for us. Otherwise all good.
We stayed one night here, the room was clean and a short walk to the beach. It was close to restaurants too. Very basic facilities but suitable for our needs. Good value for money.

Sri LankaDont like talking badly about people but got a weird vibe from the owner (who also lives there). Also having AC in the rooms but charging an extra fee is a bit of a joke (I worked out that paying for 2 nights AC usage would pay for an entire month running 24/7 at the price he charges 😂)
Decent location and off the main street, owner of the restaurant was an amazing guy, so friendly, great service and really nice food/juices

IsraelThere was no hot water in the shower either day. It wasn't really bad because it's hot in Trincomalee anyway. In addition, there were a lot of ants in the room and it was disturbing especially at night because we felt like we were being stung
The bed was large and luxurious, the room was cozy and smelled good and was spacious, the air conditioner was good!!

Sri LankaThere were cochroaches sneaking in and oit of the front door gap between the door and the floor. This actually became a bit of a nuisance. There were no coffee/tea making kettles in the room. Also, the kitchen is not active.
The cabana style setup was really good, the proximity to the beach makes a huge difference when you wants to chill out at the beach.
