Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

GuernseyThe only small negative was the unnecessary and mouldy shower curtain.
There are only 3 rooms in this small guesthouse right on busy Unawatuna beach. Each has a direct sea view and the balconies are great for watching all the activities in the sea and on the beach. Breakfast is generous with nice bread and a fruit cocktail as well as eggs. We asked for a kettle and a brand new one was provided. The staff were keen to please. There are 6 allocated sunbeds with umbrellas on the beach for Little Villa guests, which was much appreciated.

United KingdomOne night was very noisy with a beach party until past 3AM. (Weekend). We bought ear plugs and this helped when it was noisy on another evening. The loud music was not under the control of the owner and it kind of goes with the territory. The room was a little small but the bed was big and had mosquito nets. The room fan could do with an upgrade.
The location. Maybe the best view of all the places on the beach. Very convenient for walking out of your room and into the sea in your swimming gear. Great balcony. A/C worked well. The security was very good as the owner or a member of staff was always present and your keys are kept at reception when you go out.

AzerbaijanI was leaving the hotel at night, they checked the mini bar. We used just the water( which every hotel has to put for free every day) they charged us for 600 rupees( 3 bottles of water). Although we did not have the breakfast for last day.
The location and the view from the balcony is the best one in that area. The room was clean, I liked the breakfast.

AustraliaNothing really, except being asked to leave our key every time we left our room. Also, though it isn't the hotel, it is sort of connected - Black and White restaurant - isn't that good compared to other places we found an easy walk away.
Location right on the nicer end of the beach for swimming and with your balcony overlooking it, it was perfect! Not far to stroll to ATM and minimarkets. We had our own sunbeds and towels. Room was fine and clean, bed comfortable, AC and mini fridge. Bathroom could be updated but was good too. Breakfast was good but the same every day. WiFi was fine.

UkraineThe place is a bit worn down, probably didn't open last year, there is a bit of mold on the walls. A bit pricey for what you get in the end. We had an issue with our AC which took two days to resolve. The room is rather small - half of it is being taken by bed. We had just two towels. A bit further from the main area, it's only possible to get to Unawatuna's main street via the beach. Only one UK plug in the room. And no universal ones.
Nice villa with just 3 rooms in a colonial style. View is amazing. Very nice furniture, especially the bed. Owners were mostly helpful. The Black & White restaurant was closed, so owners were cooking the breakfast for us. Very tasty fruit salads! WiFi was good, 30 mbps for download and 3 for upload. Hot water.

United KingdomThe staff were pleasant enough until you have an issue then it’s your fault and nothing they can do. I had no internet the entire time I was there, on checkout I asked for my 2,600 LKR minibar bill to be free to make it up to me as I had to spend 15,000 LKR on mobile data for the entire stay as I’m working. They refused so the owner yelled at me down the phone and seemed like a very unpleasant character. Even the staff dealing with my checkout agreed it’s annoying and would be fair as they couldn’t see any Wi-Fi connections a available on my phone, but they let me know if they do that without his permission the female receptionist would get in trouble. Stay away!
The view was nice.
