Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

If you're looking for the perfect beach getaway this is it! We were so warmly welcomed to Golden Beach and were just a 30 second walk from the beautiful golden beach. Our room was clean, simple and exactly what we needed for our stay. We had spent time at a more expensive hotel just up the coast and this was genuinely a more enjoyable experience. Good bar by the beach and loungers you could spend days here just reading a book and soaking in the sun.

GermanyNo mosquito net in the room... despite lot of mosquitos are there! The A/C is only partially working, so that the temperature is still quite high in the room.
Top location directly on the beach. Shower is working well.

GermanyThe only thing there is to improve would be a mosquito net over the bed.
We absolutely loved it to stay there. The cottage offers so much space, is clean and has a big bathroom. The breakfast was good and the staff was super friendly. We were happy to stay at the property and would always go there again.

CanadaWe loved how it's located right on the beach ⛱️ 😍 There is a snorkeling/ scuba diving office directly next to the hotel. Which was so convenient since we wanted to explore and see all the beautiful sea life. We highly recommend the hotel. Also be sure to check out Angel Diving and ask for Suri he is extremely experienced at diving. He has over 20 years experience and will make you feel really safe for your first time. I was really nervous but in the end I am so grateful for my experience and recommend it to anyone visiting this hotel and beach.

Russia1. The location is ideal. We could sit on the terrace and watch the sunrise; 2. Just a couple of steps from our room and we find ourselves on a good and fairly clean beach. Comfortable sun loungers are always available; 3. The room is well thought out. It's comfortable inside and has everything you need; 4. A good tourist street with a cafes and a shop right behind the hotel, easy to get to the city of Trincomalee by tuk-tuk. Trincomalee is also interesting; 5. Very nice ocean. The beach is shallow, with soft sand. The ocean is warm. Sometimes in the evenings it’s even hot. The waves are safe and fun to play in; 6. Really friendly staff. They helped us find snorkeling organizers and affordable transfers to another city. They made breakfast for us at any time, even at noon. One day they even made us a Sri Lankan breakfast with rotti and dhal curry; 7. Cafe where you can have a dinner right on the ocean; We were there for 5 days and really enjoyed it.

Sri Lanka1 - Several dogs live/hang around at the site. They are very friendly and show protective behavior toward guests. No threats to us at all. But they pose a risk to the good hygiene of the restaurant. 2 - The access road needs proper maintenance.
1 - The location of this place is excellent as it is situated right on the beach, and the rooms are only a few steps away. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and they offer good value for money. Some renovations and upgrades are being carried out at the beginning of the season. 2 - The food served here is delicious, and well-presented, and includes a variety of seafood options. Good value for money. 3 - Although some of the staff may not be highly professional, they are friendly, energetic, and promptly attend to guests' needs. A few areas of improvement are needed in the cleanliness of the rooms and utensils but it was understood the difficulty the management is having in maintaining the expected standards with a novice staff, a problem seen in many areas due to skilled migration. But whenever I brought them to their attention, the staff and the management humbly accepted and rectified them promptly.

NetherlandsThe stay is almost directly on the beach, which is an amazing spot. There are also a lot of facilities closeby to arrange a snorkeling or diving experience. Because we went diving we would be too late for our check out, but they let us have a late check out so we could still shower afterwards. They really have such a good service and helped us with all of our questions.
