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...).

NetherlandsHard to fault and all together nothing that would make us not want to go again! But the water pressure was not great although the outdoor shower was much better. And we were very very hot. No airconditioning and a lot of fans but still us Dutchies were having trouble adjusting to the heat. But other than that: perfect!!
We had an a-ma-zing time with Chamath! His family villa made us feel like we had our own little private paradise. What a fantastic view and lovely garden for our 3 kids to play in. They made friends with Chamath’s son and really enjoyed the beach. Dinner by Chamath’s mom was so good, just like our dinner at the nearby Sunshine Cafe. The evenings outside in the very comfortable chairs with the sound of the waves and little fireflies everywhere.. magical :) What made this stay the most special though: Chamath himself. We did a full day of surfing lessons, first for our kids, then for ourselfs and he was such an amazing teacher! He asked to friends to watch our kids while he was teaching us, they were great as well :) Chamath took us everywhere with the tuktuk and we were all a little sad to leave this amazing place and great guy. Chamath, again; thank you so so much, stūtiyi <3

We really enjoyed our stay in the beach house, it is so nice close to the beach. Chantal and his family are an excellent host, very nice. He took to the turtle point beach and gave us surf lessons. Every day we ordered dinner from Chamal and it was very delicious what his family prepared. My wife had birthday during our stay, and he organised a cake as well. The waves are there quite big, but it is very nice to take a walk, enjoy the view and the privacy. And there is a lot of nice other beaches nearby. I can just recommend you to stay here!!!

ItalyCar can‘t reach there directly, better by tuktuk or the last meters by foot.
Fantastic location directly on a natural uncontaminated beach, behind is a small village. The host Chamath ready to help and provide anything we needed. Great breakfast and dinner on demand too, cooked by grandma and wife. Simple but clean room with great mosquito net around the bed. There is no AC, but the breeze from the ocean and fan on the ceiling made it unnecessary!

United KingdomAir conditioning is the only thing that would make this place even better than it was - the only downside was how hot it was overnight!!
Just wow!! This place is a hidden gem. The location is exceptional. Amazing beach with no other tourists around. We had the best time here and didn’t want to leave!!!! We saw turtles coming up to the beach to nest in the evening and saw baby turtles hatched and heading out to sea in the morning. I can’t speak highly enough of this place. It’s close to local families and the children made some great memories with the local children here and had a blast playing cricket on the beach at sunset with them!! We stayed 5 nights and didn’t want to leave. It’s not luxury but was the Sri Lankan dream and our favourite place we stayed during our trip!! Really close to Turtle point (5mins drive) and easy to drive to Hirikiteya and Dickwella from here. Perfect location!!

Perfect place if you want to hide from everything and focus on your relax time. You can see, hear and breathe the ocean, really amazing location with its own vibes where you can enjoy sunrise and sunset or walk. Chamath and his family are super friendly and supportive people, food that family cooked was fantastic.

United KingdomNothing, perfection for us!
We had the best time here! We were slightly worried about no a/c but with a ceiling fan and handheld fan, we were more than OK, often turning the fan off when sleeping! The room and bathroom were more spacious than the photos showed and there's good storage space for clothes. Location is amazing....10 steps and you are on a beach! No other tourists around, just occasionally friendly locals who are often fishing. The village itself is quiet, nice and friendly. We rented a moped and always had children smiling and waving whenever we were driving around! Chamath is an absolute legend, we really enjoyed getting to know him. He's a super cool guy who is also a surf instructor, we unfortunately couldn't manage a lesson as I was unwell! Special shout out to Chamath's son Dillan, one of the most polite and sweetest boys we've met! Thank you so much Chamath and family ❤️

United KingdomNothing! Some people might find the accommodation a bit basic but we loved it. A true beach hut!!
Wow was an amazing place. We feel so lucky to have found it and can’t recommend it enough to anyone. Chamath was extremely helpful, always being on call when we needed anything. We also took a surf lesson from him and he was a great teacher. The dinners and breakfasts cooked by his mother were amazing..! We wanted to eat out more but nothing compared to the home cooked food here. The location is exceptional, truly paradise with the most friendly locals making you feel safe and appreciated to be apart of their community. We loved spending time talking to the children, swimming and teaching them to fish. If you want somewhere that is right on the beach with the roaring ocean at night then book here. It’s a little outside of town, but Chamath can arrange you a tuk tuk at any time from his friend who is very reliable. Thank you!!

The owner is really helpful and helped guide us to some great beaches where the boys loved swimming with turtles. The location is great. Quiet beach with few locals and clean. We loved sitting out seeing the monkeys, fireflies, tortoises, lizards, and toads. Stars were incredible, too. The house is simple and reasonably maintained, with a great price

His mother and wife can make you dinner wich was delicious. Next to the villa are two rooms but you can't see each other when you are on the patio. The beach is beautiful and you have to share it with only some local people. If you like a quiet place then this is the place for you. Highly recommended!
