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 reviewVery close to the beach . Nice pool. Helpful staff. Lovely outside shower area and nice outside verandah.
Food really needs improving…but there were very nice eateries close by. Some areas in urgent need of maintenance…eg decking round pool, bizarre electrics in rooms. Could have done with a/c….it was very hot

Verified reviewThe staff was super friendly, the overall space of the hotel is small but very comfortable, the food is very good and delicious, the pool is amazing. It's right on the beach. Great value for money.
The WiFi was not very good in the rooms, but it was bearable. The rest was just perfect.

Verified reviewThe pool and beach area was very relaxing and beautiful. The young guy who works there was wonderful and happy to chat to us and help us out when we realised we left the outdoor bathroom door open.. so we accidentally let the wild monkeys in our room..! Remember to close those doors! Generally the place is really great if you want a couple of days downtime after travelling. The waves on the beach were too large and this is why having the pool was great.
The hotel is in quite a remote area along the coast so there aren't many places nearby to explore. This was fine for us as we just needed a few days to relax after travelling.

Verified reviewWonderful Stay at Sanji’s The Seaside Cabanas I had a fantastic time at Sanji’s The Seaside Cabanas. The swimming pool was always clean and well-maintained, perfect for a relaxing dip. The bungalows are spacious, comfortable, and offer a great level of privacy. They served us wonderful, delicious Sri Lankan food, which we highly enjoyed.The beach is quiet, clean, and just a few steps away – ideal for unwinding and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Nothing, every think is fine.

Verified reviewThe location and hotel are really beautiful right by the beach and with beautiful plants marking the spaces between cabanas. The pool and cocktails are really nice and the outside shower is also really good.
The room misses some basic amenities for the price (no hair dryer, the towels are more like blankets and don't really dry you especially in the heat) and especially no A/C which when you're paying over 100€ a night in a place where it's around 30 degrees almost all day round is a big deal and makes it really hard to sleep or not feel instantly sweaty after showering. The shower and bathroom are both outside and have a "window" to each other which means only one can be used at a time, also, if you need to use either at night it's almost certain you'll get mosquitoes into your room. The breakfast is quite basic (including some stale bread) and we only had dinner there once because we really didn't like the food (luckily there are 2 great family owned restaurants just across the street). In the last day we found 2 dead cockroaches in our bathroom.

Verified reviewWonderful beach bungalows with open bathroom on a beautiful property right by a calm beach. Awesome breakfast, friendliest staff, tasty cocktails. Some small restaurants with good local food are also close by.
Nothing wrong with the place. One just needs to be aware that Tangalle is 25 minutes bu Tuktuk.

Verified reviewI had the privilege of spending two days at this exceptional hotel, and I must say it met every single one of my expectations! The price is very reasonable considering the quality of service provided. The food is absolutely delicious – every dish is a true feast for the taste buds. The hotel is beautifully located, and the views are breathtaking. Our room was wonderful – spacious, comfortable, with a fantastic bathroom that felt like a luxurious spa. An added bonus was that we were placed in a room right on the front line, by the Ocean – the view from the window was unforgettable! The hotel also offers a pool and a private beach, making the stay even more relaxing. The surrounding peace and wonderful atmosphere made the entire experience incredibly rejuvenating. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to truly relax and feel special.

Verified reviewSo tranquil and peaceful. Quiet area with a few restaurants and spa over the road. Direct access to the beach and a lovely pool area. Breakfast was lovely - slightly varied each day. Sanji is a great host, will always stop for a chat, check you are happy, the staff are all very polite. Bungalows are clean and comfortable, I liked the outdoor seating areas - nice for reading and relaxing.
It was all brilliant
