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...).

Sri LankaFood was good but can improve the dessert section for sure. We were there for dinner on a Friday night and it was very mediocre. Main food items were ok, they can have more seafood. Breakfast was good. Can improved overall. In the room there was no phone charging point next to the bed which was a pain. And no fans in the room only Ac.
Staff were excellent. Location fantastic. Open to the beach.

The location to the Bentota train station. Only a 250 meter walk south on road running along train line. The beach & grounds beautiful. Rooms a good size, bed comfortable & air conditioning worked well. Buffet breakfast had a large selection of western & local options.

United KingdomSome elements of the room looked a bit tired. The sun-bed mattresses were badly stained on our room patio. The room side pool was cloudy on first Morning.
The hotel is generally quiet but has a great beachfront and view of the sea so there is always the sound of the breaking waves. The beach is very atmospheric with such a long view and sea mist rising if the crashing waves. The pool just outside the room was an excellent facility. The main pool was clean and has a 3mtr deep end which was great.

Sri Lanka1. The hotel was quite small. 2. The buffet had limited varieties. 3. Even the premium rooms did not include bathtubs. 4. The buffet was missing night-time options such as ice cream and seafood, and the morning spread did not include bacon. 5. The main bed was too small. 6. Even in the premium room, there was no sofa. 7. On their website, under the room categories “Premium Balcony Sea View,” “Surf Sea View,” and “Surf Pool View,” they mention the following under value additions: “We believe in going the extra mile to make your stay exceptional. Upon arrival, you’ll be treated to a seasonal fruit plate to greet you with a taste of local freshness, handcrafted chocolates during our turn-down service, and a high tea platter to elevate your afternoons.” However, despite this being clearly stated on their website, they claimed that these items are not offered, which is misleading
1.The welcome was really warm and pleasant. 2.The food was delicious. 3.The staff were amazing. 4.There were plenty of entertainment options.

United Arab EmiratesThe check in experience really isn’t smooth and some of the staff were quite rude- we had booked in advance and told them our check in time - arrived about 3pm but the rooms weren’t ready, which was a pain, but after then, it really was a beautiful place to stay. Also we had to really push that we got the booking.com 10% discount and show proof every time which was frustrating as it was on the booking reference
The hotel itself was absolutely lovely, the rooms were clean and bright, the travel cot was perfect. we got two beach facing rooms that went straight out to the grass and beach which I think were perfect. The pools were clean and huge. The food served was delicious and good sized. The buffet breakfast had everything you needed. Right next to the train station and some lovely restaurants , very easy to walk into the town. But there’s tuk tuks outside the hotel at all times too for convenience. The beach was beautiful and clean!

United Arab EmiratesDisappointed that 52m pool water was too cloudy to see where you were going (Granted it was very windy some days, with blowing dust at times). Room TV not working at start of visit. Karaoke Lounge was closed during Covid pandemic and has not reopened yet.
Attentiveness, helpfulness, and friendliness of most of the staff. Wide variety of foods available at buffet - both breakfast and evening. Choice of 2 swimming pools, one 52m long. Easy to access long, sandy beach and sea. Several restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. Short walking distance from railway station.

The location is also great just a short walk to the beach,cafes making it ideal for a peaceful getaway. The room was clean and cozy, and overall, we enjoyed our short stay.Room service was littlebit slow and needs improvement but it is not a big issue at all. It is a great value for money!

Sri LankaThe hot water facility in the bathroom was not enough. The hot water only came for a short time. Even though I asked them to clean the room, they only came in the evening.When I asked the receptionist for a menu card to be brought to my room, she said she would inform the restaurant, but the menu card did not arrive until we checkout from the hotel.The phone in the room was broken and they said they would install a new one, but that never happened.. we had to open the room door repeatedly to make the need known..
Breakfast buffet actually good..there are many varities and foods very tasty.both savoury and sweet items had a good taste.
