Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustriaNo complaints. Everything was great.
The location was perfect for us, we enjoyed the tranquility of the river and surrounding nature while being only a short walk away from the beach and surf spots. We also enjoyed the food very much, a different kind of breakfast every morning (sometimes sweet, sometimes savoury, always a surprise) and beautiful plates with rice, curry including multiple different components in the evening. The best part though was the sweet family that made us feel very welcome.

GermanyThis place is truly a home away from home. The host family welcomed us warmly and from the first moment did everything to make us feel comfortable and to take care of us. The room is very cozy and clean and we enjoyed our time on the family property, hanging out at the riverside or on the rooftop terrace. The location is super calm while only a short walk away from the beach.

NetherlandsKosi Giggles Resort has been my favourite accommodation in Sri Lanka. Rashmi and her family were so lovely and took amazing care of me. I really felt like part of the family. The local breakfasts and dinners (they have a newly opened restaurant) were delicious. The room was clean and had everything I needed. The location is also a gem, with the river at the backyard. I hope to be back!

PolandWhat a great beginning of our trip! We’re glad we’ve found this place and experienced the hospitality and warmth of the family running the place. It’s a perfect place if you want to stay in a quiet area a bit further away from the busy and noisy streets and parties but still in the walking distance to the beach and the Weligama center. The place is situated by the river and and surprisingly there was not a lot of mosquitoes! Every morning the delicious (and huuuge) breakfast was served by the river edge in the sweet morning light under the palm trees. We also took a cooking class here which was a very interesting and delicious experience 😋Totally recommend!

United KingdomMy stay at Kosi Giggles far exceeded my expectations! The family took such good care of me and I felt so relaxed there. They cook delicious food, the breakfasts were big and I'd definitely recommend having a rice and curry there for dinner, it was the best I'd eaten in Sri Lanka! I even took a cooking class to learn how to make them which was so lovely and really interesting. They're situated right on the river surrounded by fruit trees and you can even spot iguanas chilling on their property. Being greeted by Gigi the sweetest dog every day was an added bonus 😊 they've also installed air con in the rooms so it's a very comfortable stay. I'd highly recommend staying at this lovely place.

RussiaOur only minor issue was that the room could get a bit dark in the evening.
We absolutely adored the Kosi Giggles Resort in Weligama, especially the welcoming family atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The breakfasts were not only delicious but also varied, making each morning a delightful surprise. We were impressed by the beautiful garden with a river and fruit trees, which the proud owners were more than happy to show us around. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and the town center, but far enough from the main road to provide a peaceful and quiet setting, allowing us to observe various birds and animals. The air conditioning in the room was also a great plus, keeping us cool during the hot months.

United KingdomOn my first day, they had scheduled a repair for a gas leak on the air con unit. No one told me the unit was leaking before checking me into the room. Potentially, it was a very dangerous situation for me, sleeping in a room with no ventilation and a leaking aircon unit. They decided a guest could still stay in the room whilst work had prior been scheduled, I was denied access to the room I paid for 5 hours. Throughout my stay, I was asked for pictures for marketing the property. I checked out early after I was again asked to leave the room on another day for new photographs to be taken. They moved my scooter whilst the wheel lock was on without consent. I had left my passport as a deposit and thought it had been stolen when I saw it was not where I had left it. Again, to take pictures for marketing. I felt a lack of respect or dignity was provided here. I left due to feeling uncomfortable. I was due to stay in Sri Lanka for two months and decided after this and other events to leave Sri Lanka after just 2 weeks. I came to Sri Lanka to relax. Not for people to try and take advantage of me. To top it off, they wouldn't even provide me with the air-conditioning they kicked me out of the room to fix for 5 hours.
