How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThis was some of the best accommodation we've ever stayed in. The attention to detail was spot on. The villa was so spacious, clean and comfortable, modern yet still charming in its use of natural and traditional materials. The pool area and gardens were perfectly designed to relax. The bar and restaurant served delicious food and the best espresso we've had in Sri Lanka. The breakfasts were substantial and beautifully presented with plenty of fresh fruits. The service was very welcoming and attentive. The views are unforgettable. Picture perfect. We even fell in love with the gorgeous doggo, June Bug (pictured). If you see her around she's eager to play, loves head pats and treats. She's vaccinated and being taken care of, so don't hesitate to give her some love. We'll definitely stay at Aga Surf View for a longer time on our next trip to Sri Lanka.

Verified reviewbeautiful hotel with nuce separate guest chalets. Food was very good and staff super friendly.
everything was very nice really. The property is right on the beach with apparently good surf. Maybe the only little minus: there is not so much around in walking distance, the beach is quite small
Hello Thomas , Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words about our hotel, food, and team – we are delighted you had a great stay with us. Regarding your comment about the beach, we truly appreciate your observation. The beachscape in front of the property does change with the seasons due to natural coastal patterns. During certain times of the year, the beach area becomes wider and more accessible, while at other times it may appear smaller. Since it is a bay, the beach area in front is naturally more enclosed, which can make the walking distance feel a bit shorter compared to open, expansive coastlines. This dynamic nature is part of the charm of our bayfront location which offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the ocean. We hope to welcome you back again soon so you can experience the beauty of the beach in a different season. Warm Regards, Aga Surf View Team

Verified reviewThe location is incredible right on a small cove and beach. The chalets are beautifully furnished to a high standard and clean. The food in the restaurant is freshly cooked, reasonably priced and delicious. It’s not everyday you can watch surfers mastering the waves while eating breakfast on a restaurant balcony. A mention to for the staff…..Friendly and helpful. The manager Indy in particular went out of his way to help us. If you want a busy resort with nightlife don’t come here . It’s so peaceful and quiet it’s almost a shame to tell others about it. We hope to return again one day and would highly recommend this hotel to others. But shhh keep it quiet 🤫.
Nothing. We came in the low season so expected some rain . However it was mainly sunny with a few showers in the morning.
Hello Andrew, Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful and detailed review. It was a true pleasure to read about your experience, and we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. Your comments about the chalets, their comfort and cleanliness, and the food from our restaurant are deeply appreciated. Our kitchen team takes pride in preparing fresh, delicious meals, and knowing that you found them to be both tasty and reasonably priced. Watching the surfers while enjoying breakfast on the balcony is one of those simple pleasures we love to share with our guests , it’s great to know you enjoyed that moment too. We are always committed to providing attentive and genuine service, and it is rewarding to know we could help make your stay even more comfortable. Thank you for your recommendation and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing getaway. Warm Regards, Aga Surf View Team

It’s a shame that the beach area (not of course owned by the hotel) is such a mess
Hello Hugh, Thank you for choosing to celebrate such a special occasion with us. We are so glad you enjoyed the floral decoration, our team loves adding those personal touches to make moments like these memorable. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the room, especially the spacious bed and great bathroom. Regarding the beach area, we completely understand your concern. As it is a public beach, it is unfortunately beyond our control and we are not permitted to carry out maintenance there. However, we always hope the local authorities take steps to keep it enjoyable for everyone. We hope to welcome you back for many more celebrations in the future. Warm Regards, Aga Surf View Team

Verified reviewAmazing location, great restaurant staff and very spacious rooms
A bit more attention from the property manager would be great, the day we arrived we were left at a table and our stuff was taken without anyone telling us where, or giving us a key, or showing us around. I had to ask someone where our suitcases where, which bungalow was ours, where to go etc. I get the surfing vibes but if you operate bungalows like a hotel there needs to be a minimum of attention on that part.
Hello Hugo Thank you for your review and for highlighting the positives of your stay, such as our location, restaurant team, and spacious rooms. We sincerely apologize for the confusion during your arrival. Typically, our process involves bringing guests' luggage to the restaurant while they enjoy a welcome drink, and then discreetly transferring the bags to the reserved room. All of this is usually done in view of our guests to ensure a smooth and relaxing check-in experience. We are sorry if this was not clearly communicated or if it caused any inconvenience. Your comments are valuable, and we will make sure to reinforce clearer communication with our team to prevent this in the future. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again for an even better experience. Warm Regards Aga Surf View Team

Verified reviewMassive well appointed & beautiful rooms, with patios and view of the beach. Great little hotel on a small beach cove. There are other businesses on the beach but it feels secluded. We swam a few times. It’s a surf beach too and offers lessons too. Pool was lovely. Cute place for breakfast and we sat upstairs for dinner. Food was delicious. Wine like everywhere else is low end but still drinkable. Wish Sri Lanka would allow at least one grade up for wines….
The way to the beach is a bit iffy but that’s like one meter…and it looks like they will build a better access.
Hello Caroline, Thank you for your review. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the spacious rooms, beachside setting, swimming, surfing, and your dining experiences. We appreciate your feedback regarding the beach access. As the beach is public property, it is unfortunately beyond our control, and we are not permitted to carry out maintenance or improvements in that area. However, we understand the importance of accessibility and hopeful that better access will be provided by a relevant authority . Hope to welcome you for a memorable stay again. Warm Regards, Aga Surf View Team.

Verified reviewWonderful friendly staff who would help in any way they could . A yoga mat was quickly provided on request and surfboards available to hire. Loved the massages but expensive at US$40/ hour. Special thanks to Indi. We had a large two room family bungalow which was a great extravagance . Loved the coffee. We ate most of our meals at the hotel largely due to laziness. The Sri Lankan curries were the best. I would have liked a greater focus on fresh local food. I can’t understand why hamburgers, Thai curry and tacos are on the menu. In my opinion the menu could do with a rethink. What about say, a Sri Lankan specials night or fresh local fish once a week ? The facility and garden is well maintained and very clean. As it is small you are recognized and well cared for. The lovely little bay is as yet not over developed but surveyors pegs on the adjacent headland do not augur well. Go as soon as you can !
For us the continuous music from 7am to 10 pm was annoying . At times we had to escape to our room to avoid it. Limit the hours. Maybe evenings only and get rid of the ‘doof doof’ music !
Hello Diane , Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about our staff, accommodations, and services. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our friendly service, Sri Lankan curries, and the overall ambiance of our property. Your kind words mean a lot to us. Regarding the menu selection, we strive to cater to a wide range of preferences by including dishes that are most commonly enjoyed by our guests (Offering mix of international and local cuisine). However, we do have Sri Lankan-flavored options available, and we will continue to ensure that our local cuisine remains a highlight. However, we serve freshly baked whole fish, which is featured on our “Today Special” menu board. Additionally, Massages are provided by an external masseur. The charges are determined by the masseur based on his skills and experience, ensuring that our guests receive high-quality treatments. With respect to the beach, we would like to clarify that it is not part of our property, and therefore, and we do not have the authority to do any maintenance. We always encourage guests to enjoy its natural beauty. We are surprised to hear your comments about the music, as we always play soft, relaxing tunes at a low volume, creating a pleasant atmosphere for all and ensuring that it does not disturb our in-house guests. In fact, we have received positive feedback about the ambiance created by our music. No previous complaints have been made. However, we do understand that preferences vary, and we will be mindful of this moving forward. Once again, thank you for your feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay. Warm Regards, Aga Surf View Team

This was our third place we stayed along the coast and the moment we arrived we wanted to extend our stay, so we will definitely be back on our next trip to Sri Lanka. The beach area is just right with great surf and not busy, which we love! We hired surf boards for an hour, but you can have them for the day too if you wish. Breakfast was fab overlooking the sea and surf and the owner/manager took his time to chat with us and was very attentive with all his guests which was lovely to see and shows he really cares. Genuinely can’t wait to visit again, which I don’t say that often about a place, but we just didn’t spend enough time here. Do not hesitate and book this place. You will not be disappointed

Verified reviewThis was one of our favourite hotels in Sri Lanka. The food was incredible and the best we had during our entire trip. An added bonus is their coffee as good coffee is rare in Sri Lanka. It was nice to be able to choose the included breakfast from a menu and have it made fresh rather than buffet like the other hotels we stayed in. Aga Surf only has a few apartments so staff remember you and are very friendly and accommodating. Located on the beach which is stunning and very quiet and only a few minutes walk to silent beach which is lovely too. We were very sad to leave this hotel and would recommend to anyone and everyone!
