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...).

United KingdomAbsolutely loved this place. Very friendly couple and their little puppy Oli. They made us a fresh breakfast each morning - papaya, banana, pancakes, roti, tea, coffee… The homestay was very peaceful and chilled, but other travellers were also very friendly. The walk to Hiriketiya beach was around 15 minutes, so nicely set back in nature (gorg walk to the beach), but also very convenient. You could get to restaurants within 5 mins. There were sunloungers outside which was great to relax. Also lines outside to dry clothes. Would definitely come back if I were in the area, and would recommend.

United KingdomOne of our favourite stays. This was a last minute booking so booked a room with no ac and with shared toilet which is fine, clean bathroom and it did eventually get cooler in the night. Owned by gorgeous couple and their little puppy we felt really cared for and looked after. Clean comfortable :)

I loved staying here so much that i am extending and staying one month. I went all around hiriketiya looking for places to stay and after being here, nothing compares. The energy in this place is so nice, and the lovely couple who owns it are the nicest people you will ever meet. They are super friendly and are always making sure i am okay and helping me if i need something. Every morning a home cooked breakfast, so delicious! Everything is really clean, bed is very comfortable, water pressure in the shower is good, nice space, many places to sit inside and outside. The location is perfect, walking distance away from most places and also far enough away that you can’t hear the main road traffic. It’s surrounded by beautiful nature, and surprisingly no misquotes! The list goes on to how much I like it here:)

Austria- one minor thing, they have glass door to the rooms so if someone is in the common area and the light is on, it’s not so easy to fall asleep, but that’s easily fixed with dark curtains (they have light curtains in the doors)
- lovely family, great breakfast (everyday something different), welcome drink - wifi available, not always working but mostly yes - comfortable rooms and toilet, everything super clean - indoor and outdoor chill area

GreeceThe house was in a great location, just 8 minutes within a walking distance to the center. It was very clean and big, with comfortable beds and a nice dining room. The bathrooms were also good! The housemates were a lovely couple, that offered us traditional Sri Lankan coffee as a welcoming treat, a wonderful gesture! They also have huge speakers that the guests can use to play some music! The breakfast was really nice, different than expected!

SwedenNothing we cared about, but the room was on the smaller side and mosquitoes came in though the open bathroom window and therefore sometimes in the room. But there was mosquito nets attached to the beds, so there was no problem. Overall a problem in Sri Lanka & nothing to worry about.
The beds where very comfortable & the house very cozy, we liked staying a little more outside the lively area. Only 12 minutes walking distance to Hiriketiya beach and 25 to Dickwella beach. Or you can ask the family to fix you a tuktuk for a good price. The family that owned the place was super friendly and we absolutely looooved the local breakfast served every morning. Thank you for that! We were very happy about this accommodation!!
