Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

This is a paradise on Earth! From the moment the property gates opened, you are in the most beautiful scenery of green plants and trees. Just a short stroll and you are at the 2 properties. I was very lucky as given an upgrade to the top floor overlooking the tree tops towards the lake. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The room was very spacious with a kitchenette, fully equipped if I needed to cook or store food in the fridge or freezer. There was a TV but who needs it, hey? The WiFi helped though to keep in touch with family and friends. The bathroom was large and again with everything you can possibly need. I watched the wilderness from the window as I brushed my teeth. But THE BEST view was certainly from the balcony at sunset and again at sunrise where I recorded the beautiful sounds of nature. The owner was very kind and thoughtful, unfortunately I could not stay more than just one night this time but I wil be back for sure. If you want a peaceful, relaxing and a tranquil stay, this is your place. Even as I laid on my bed in the morning, I looked through the glass door at the views. Just what I needed after a busy tour. Thank you so much for this gem of properties.

United KingdomAnts and a few cobwebs, however, we expected this as the property is surrounded by nature.
This was the most scenic location to stay in. The room was spectacular! It was very modern and had great interior. The owner was super friendly and offered his assistance if ever we needed it (for example it was raining on evening and we were offered an umbrella immediately!). This place was absolutely beautiful and in a brilliant location (10 minute tuktuk ride to the beach and restaurants).

IsraelKeep in mind that there is no any breakfast or bar at the villa (and any reception desk at all). But the rooms have a full kitchen and everything for cooking, and there is a good restaurant within a 15 minute walk.
The most important advantage of this place is it's location - in the middle of nowhere, no tourists, no noise, only jungle. And, as it was written many times before it the other feedbacks - the host, mr. Roshitha. He provides full concierge-service by himself free of charge: always online on Whatsapp, always ready to help.

United KingdomNothing really, If Roshita is able to expand to include food then that would be great, but there is a lovely kitchen, so you can bring food back and reheat or cook if necessary.
Being slightly further from the main town of Hikkaduwa meant that it was nice and quiet and only a ten minute Tuktuk ride into town. Roshita and his wife were lovely! The setting is beautiful, with lush vegetation surrounding the building, makes you feel isolated (in a good way). There were birds and bats using nearby trees which were awesome to see. The bedding was so soft and comfortable and the shower big with hot water.

Germany-everything was great for us-
We stayed 3 weeks in Hikkaduwa in this beautiful hotel :) it was a very nice room surrounded by nature, with a large balcony and a view of the lake. The room was very modern with a Smarttv, Alexa, a well-equipped kitchen with 2 ring induction cooker, microwave, kettle, fridge, crockery and cutlery, pans and pots.the bed was a good size and very comfortable, as were the chairs on the terrace. the bathroom was very spacious and has some vanity units under the sink and a closet. The rain shower is already large and with a view of nature. The hotelier Roshita is very friendly and helpful, we felt very welcome and it was like "coming home" from the first moment. We can highly recommend the accommodation and look forward to staying there again when we fly to Sri Lanka.

United KingdomEvery detail has been thought about, not one thing to complain about would highly recommend.
A complete and utter gem! The owner Roshitha has designed and created these breathtaking, idillic condos over looking Hikkaduwa lake. Upon arrival we parked our hired tuk tuk in the grounds safe secure car park and taken down through the jungle via a gorgeously designed angled wooden bath, handed ice cold coconuts and shown to our condo. The accommodation was very clean, modern, the king size bed was of European 5 start hotel standard very hard to get out in the morning as was so comfortable (which is very hard to find in Sri Lanka) the shower was hot and the pressure very strong (again very hard to find in Sri lanka.) The condo had great Wi-Fi, Alexa, Sonos speaker, air conditioning and all 5 star mod cons/ extras. Superbly tranquil location, stunning views, surround by un touched nature. Close to the town where you can find so fabulous restaurants, but far enough out to hear nothing but the wild life and truly relax. The building design is of impeccable standard, sunrises whilst sipping your morning coffee in bed gazing across the lake, shaded comfortable day loungers upon the balcony to hide out from the mid day sun. We feel that the nightly price is extremely reasonable for the of quality stay, we shall most certainly be back, for a lot longer next time. Many thanks The Riley’s London, UK.
