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...).

ItalyA little more attention to the general maintenance. 2 coffe podwer coffe bad wound be nice to hsbd (only 3 te as bags). More attention to the dust and sand on floor and tables. A little smell in the toilet.
The villa i have booked is full of confort. In a sand garden at the shadow of Palm trees. Area of the structure is cared and relaxing. Location is in feont of the sea and the lobg beach. The place is quaite isolated, so you need to move via tuck tuk or car or motorcycle. The pasikuda beach is 2 km away by walk that for me was fine instead you can pass on the beach. It is fine if you are looking for a very quite place. Staff is very kind , polite and helpfully.

United KingdomThe food prices were a little higher than we expected. However there are plenty of other options a short drive away.
Beautiful location with a large compound filled with coconut trees and other plants opening onto the white sandy beach with fishing boats picturesquely strewn on the sand. Amazing views. Safe to swim when we were there and some waves to make it interesting for the younger ones. There are two villas each can sleep 3 with the largest bed I have ever seen and a single, and a deluxe wooden cabin on stilts. All have sea views. The shower room was enormous! The staff were kind and flexible and made us lunch even though we arrived late.

NetherlandsNothing really.
We enjoyed the peace and quiet. The villa was cozy and comfortable. The beach is a two-minute walk away and is beautiful. In the morning, we watched fishermen haul in their nets filled with fish. It's much quieter and more authentic than Pasikudah Beach. The food is varied and delicious.

GermanyA large herd of cows have claimed the beach so you can imagine how much pancakes are left on the beach.
If you like it very very very quiet and lonely this is the place to be. At the moment there are only 3 bungalows and a small restaurant. in the 5 days we stayed we were the only guests. a big thank you to the hotel manager and taff. The beach is a working beach therefore you can watch the fishermen brining in their nets.

United KingdomWish they’d clean the litter up on the beach when they’ve got down time. If everyone made a bit more effort all over Sri Lanka it would be good.
We stayed in the cabin which was massive and extremely comfortable. Great bed, fridge, shower was ok too. Lovely balcony. The remoteness suited us. Probably better if u have transport as you are a bit isolated but food and drink are available. The rustic beach has poop on it from the cows and goats that pass but it didn’t offend us, we liked watching them. Great to watch the fishermen too. We loved it.

Very well equipped bungalow with direct sea view. A big, beautiful garden directly located at the beach. Some very friendly and cute dogs are around which are just trying to be your friend and taking care of your safety. Even we had not the perfect weather we enjoyed the day and relaxed on the big terrace. The beach and sea directly in front of you you have to share just with some cows in the evening, nice for having a refreshing swim. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would come back for sure 👍

BelgiumThe sea can be a challenge to swim in during the day, but at sunrise and by night it is calm. Very strong undercurrent though and not suited for small children. The underfed dogs at this place broke our hearts a bit.
The location was calm and secluded and we liked this. The beach with the local cows visiting every morning at sunrise was stunning. Perfect place to read your book and go for a long walk. Joseph was a very friendly host and helped us in every way he could.

United KingdomThe beach is huge and empty which is amazing but was a little rough for swimming whilst we were there, and it’s covered in cow poo! Pasikudah beach is a short drive or 30 min walk away though. Food is expensive for what you get, but it is tasty.
Lovely, spacious cabin with en suite and great porch to pass time. Fridge in the room very useful. Good AC. So close to the beach.

We were the only guests because it is off season right now. The owners are absolutely lovely, we had a great dinner and A very tasty breakfast! They are very animal friendly (which we loved). The little cabin stands beside coconuttrees, you can hear the ocean and it has a very nice Terrasse to sit in and enjoy a cup of tea. The Beach is very nice, Although it was stormy and Not very clean (off season) but we were the only ones and it was very very nice! We can really recommend to stay at cocoville

AustraliaWe LOVED the partially open air bathroom - but I would advise not to leave any edibles unattended in this room. A small animal must have entered (we think one of those little squirrels) and ate my beef liver tablets hahaha! Otherwise there were a couple of short power outages, normal for the country.
Stunning location, friendly manager, gorgeous and spacious room with air conditioning that was very welcomed. Very yummy Sri Lankan breakfast! Comfortable beds, and very clean despite the facility itself having a vintage vibe to it. Exceeded our expectations, great value for money!

GermanyWe were missing a pool. But not much as the sea is right in front of the resort. An outdoor fresh water shower would be nice when coming back from a dip in the sea.
Directly located at the Passikudah beach, the location is stunning. The premise itself has only four rooms for up to four occupants. The staff is not staying within the resort but there is a kitchen where the staff cook fresh food as per order. We had breakfast and dinner, - all Sri Lankan style. Try out the puttu…it was delicious. The beach is nice (too many cows though and their left-overs) but fine sand and a shallow access to the sea.

IrelandThe location is very isolated and there are no other restaurants or amenities nearby. The food here is ok but quite expensive compared to similar in Sri Lanka. While the beach is gorgeous, the waves are very very strong so its not good for swimming and definitely not suitable for children
Cocoville is on a very secluded, beautiful beach so if you are looking for complete quiet it is ideal. The rooms are fine, very big, clean and air con is good. Staff are pleasant
