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...).

SlovakiaAccommodation at Jaga home was great. The room was clean, with a balcony and a sea view. Jaga and his family were very caring, helped, advised, nothing was a problem. The breakfast was excellent, every day they tried to prepare us something different from Sri Lankan cuisine. The accommodation is very close to the beach as well as the city center. I highly recommend it.

Fantasric location close to town, bus station, market and local restaurants but also in a quiet street very close to a safe swimming beach and the fishing harbour. Super friendly, hospitable and helpful family. Very large comfortable room, delicious breakfast, quiet aircon, great water pressure, comfy bed and a beautiful sea view from the balcony. Good value for money, this place ticks all the boxes and definately recommended.

United KingdomJagath and his family gave me a very warm welcome and were so friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was comfortable with everything you need, with a lovely view out to sea… sleep with the door open and you’ll be in heaven. For me the location was perfect, close to town (for the best local food and market) and a more authentic experience of Tangalle, which is absolutely charming. Smile and the town smiles back at you.

I and my husband spent lovely time at JAGA HOME! Owner Jaga and his wife treatted us as a friends. They are amazing, helpfull and kind people. They reccommended us what we should see in neibeirhood and they answered every single question or offered solutions for every need.. They arranged renting of scooter for us with fair price. The room is clean with beach view. The breakfast is basic, continental version but you are able to feel full belly :) My husband almost ate whole loaf of bread :P At JAGA HOME you will feel like at home!! In deep of my heart I reccomend this place and owners. They make wonderful atmosphere which you can feel every day of your stay.❤️

A 5 minute walk from the bus station & close to many restaurants. We had breakfast included, toast, butter, jam, omelette, fruit & tea. Excellent value for money. Tangalle is a great town & we would definitely recommend Jaga home

United KingdomAs soon as arrived we were sat down and owner went through all the "rules". There is a curfew of 10 pm so if staying out later must pre organise or won't get in the gate. Doesn't leave much room for being spontaneous. Was disappointed that it was advertised as beachfront so I expected to be overlooking the beach and sea but was facing a 3 storey apartment block which had loud building work from 8 am and all day. It is actually one block back from the beach. Room had alot of wires from the wall like hadn't quite finished everything off. Breakfast was a huge pile of sliced white bread with an omelette. At breakfast owner was carrying around prawns and trying to sell you dinner whilst you are eating . All a bit off-putting and bizarre.
Good location from town centre , beach and bus station. loved Tangalle, had a nice local feel to it and very cheap local food in the town centre. Friendly couple as long as you do as you are told.
