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...).

Very charismatic and kind owner of the villa. Susee is the best part in Bentota if you don’t take the ocean. It's very safe to leave your belongings in a room or near sunbeds. There aren't any strangers, only several tourists and Susee. The breakfasts are delicious, dinner with half a kilo of shrimp and delicious curry is simply great! And very cheap, about 10 euros per person. The location is the best - great beach and very secluded, almost no people, which is great. The entire shore is covered in crabs, which are very fun to feed with shrimp heads left over from dinner. The ocean is just super, although the waves are big. The rooms in the villa are quite cozy, like a country house format. Don't expect a lot from the rooms, but it is super good value for these money.

AustraliaLeaving - I would come back to Sri Lanka just to stay a week here , to chill and relax at this magic spot.
This place is very special. I loved the fact that we could stroll from our room through the lovely garden, open a door which leads down a lovely palm lined path to a perfect beach. And then you find Sure has laid out the lounges ready for you to spend a day in paradise. And Susee and his girls hospitality is amazing. We were bought special drinks and homemade pastries in the afternoon at no charge and we felt we were having a 5 star service. Our room was clean and spacious and we enjoyed our breakfast out on the patio, the fruit salad was the best we had in 5 weeks in Sri Lanka. I can't thank Susee enough for making our stay so special.

Susee helped me a lot, drove me to get tea, gave me medicine. He will show you around the best places you can go. And the breakfast is amazing. Be ready for the secret way to the beach, it is wonderful! Ah and try the pancakes!

SwedenThe only 2 minor things I feel the need to call out from my own perspective is that the property, being by the road, meant I could hear traffic day and night (albeit not very loud), it's still something I specifically tried to book to avoid. Also room has been marked "sea view" and "beach front" and strictly speaking it's 200m from the beach, and this I feel must be changed to reflect reality
Very close to a quiet beautiful beach, nice small family property, with a wonderful little garden. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable with aircon and fan, good shower, and small kitchenette, fridge and freezer. I have never in my life had such a great and personable host, Susee took great care of me from the moment I arrived up until I left and provided anything and beyond I could ask for. Food was homemade and exceptional quality, and on the sri Lankan new year I was invited into the family home for a feast of food!

Staying with Susee and his lovely family was such a pleasure for us. He was very helpful, picked us up from the trainstation, drove us to a temple and organized a beautiful boattour for us. We also loved the short distance to the beach and the restaurant there. And you can. looking forward to the amazing breakfast. Thank you for everything!
