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.).

LatviaWe had a wonderful stay at Amour at Turtle Beach! The host was incredibly welcoming, greeting us late in the evening and ensuring we had a delicious dinner. He also provided us with helpful information about the possibility of seeing turtles on the beach, which was such a special touch. The cottage itself was cozy and perfect for a relaxing stay. In the morning, the host made us the most amazing breakfast, which was the perfect start to the day. We truly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it!

AustriaNothing, everything was perfect!
You should definetly stay here and take minimum 2 nights! It is a lovely house with two rooms, one with a terrace and one with a beautiful balcony where we stayed. The room is very spacious and cosy. The breakfast was very tasty and served on the balcony which was really nice. Most importantly I can only confirm other reviews regarding the host Don- he is exceptional! We only stayed one night (wanted to stay longer but was fully booked) and he helped us with so many things regarding our trip! Talk to him and follow his advices!!! Definitely visit the bird sanctuary close by it’s really worth it. He then took us to our next place Haputale including a visit to a national park and waterfall- the transfer to pick me rates! And he does everything with a smile. Thanks Don, it was really a pleasure and we hope to be back 🙏

SwitzerlandEverything was great!
We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The location was perfect for turtle watching, just a short walk from the beach. Our daughter loved the front yard, and the outdoor shower was a great. The Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely delicious—one of the best we’ve had! But what made our stay truly special was Ruchira, the host. He went above and beyond to organize our turtle-watching experience, as well as safaris in Udawalawe and Yala. His recommendations on things to do in the area were spot on! Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area. We’d love to come back!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like but like some others have said some bottled water in room/at breakfast would be most helpful.
Our favourite property & location of our Sri Lanka tour so far. We stayed in the upstairs apartment which was very spacious with large comfortable bed, lovely high ceiling, air conditioning and large balcony area. The breakfast, served on our balcony, was a lovely touch. The beach is stunning and so quiet with little cafes with sun loungers tucked well back and dotted along it. The highlight was our evening ‘Turtle Watch’ experience on the beach…in an ethically controlled environment seeing a green turtle laying her eggs, covering them, and heading back into the sea was a memory that will stay with us forever. Thankyou Don for being such a great host, we highly recommend your property.

LatviaThank you for the beautiful house! There are many different beautiful animals and birds around. The house was clean, the shower worked well, the breakfast was very tasty. Very good location, near a beautiful beach, where there are not many people, quiet and peaceful. The owner of the house will always be remembered as a very nice man, he took us everywhere we needed and helped us with everything. He tried very hard to make everything good. He was happy to tell interesting facts about Sri Lanka and answered all the questions. We also took advantage of the tour he offered which was excellent! A truly great person!

SwedenFor our purposes, the location was a bit off, but it’s close to some nice places and some good restaurants. So it depends a lot on what you want to do.
The room was very nice and Don was very friendly. He dropped us off and picked us up in weligama. He also gave the honest advice not to go the the Safari in Yala which we intended to go to due to large crowds, which was very appreciated by us.

RomaniaThe property was very close to the Turtle sanctuary. Very convenient to watch the turtles lay their eggs at night and then in 5 min by foot to be back in your room. The property is nicely arranged and the owner offered his services to take us by car to our next destination stopping on the way to show us a few other places.
