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):
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.
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.).

Czech RepublicWhat more can you say about this hotel – it’s paradise. A slice of heaven surrounded by beautiful, untouched nature, wildlife, and endless beaches. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this place. Amazing food, stunning surroundings, and the option to arrange trips and massages – both of which were perfect. The staff will go above and beyond for you, and you always feel genuinely welcome. And don’t be afraid of the local hotel dogs – they’re the kindest and most loyal companions. They’ll walk with you all the way to the sea and keep a gentle watch over the guests. They’re always happy to receive a little affection.

United StatesWe chose the hotel based on the photos where it stands in the middle of the jungle. But today there is construction of other hotels nearby. The first impression of the construction is bad, but then you understand that you do not see it when you are relaxing in the hotel. The pool is small, but sufficient. For us there are no big minuses at all.
We took two rooms with an ocean view - they are amazing. The panoramic glazing of the spacious rooms gives the feeling that you wake up in the jungle on the shore. Special respect to the chef, for a micro hotel there is a very wide menu with high-quality dishes. Service at a high level. The beach is amazing - you have to see it. This hotel has its own atmosphere of a private villa. It feels like everything around works only for you. For our family it is better than a suite in a 5* hotel.

United StatesIf you’re looking for the kind of place where the loudest thing you’ll hear is the ocean, book Seven Turtles and don’t look back. This is one of those rare properties that’s even better than the pictures. It’s beautifully maintained—lush, green, and thoughtfully laid out. There’s a main building with rooms on stilts overlooking the pool, and two bungalows tucked on either side. The whole place wraps around a wide, private stretch of beach that feels practically untouched. The vibe is peaceful and intimate. This is not a party resort, and thankfully, not a playground for kids either. It’s more of a couples’ escape: private, romantic, and wonderfully quiet. Even with a few other guests around, we barely noticed. The sound of the waves does a wonderful job of muffling voices, and the staff has done a great job creating secluded spaces to relax. Rooms were spotless, the bed was comfortable, the A/C worked, and the food was fresh and well-priced. Honestly, we had no complaints. The staff were friendly and helpful, without hovering. Everything just… worked.

United KingdomI had wrongly assumed this lovely little hotel would be adult only, as it's such a remote, romantic spot. There were only a couple of babies/toddlers, but it changed the vibe (everyone else there was clearly all 'loved-up'!). It was just a bit disappointing. There's nothing there for children (sea too rough), and 'adult only' would have made it even more relaxing for everyone.
Perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Small, quiet, with a large choice of good food....set on a stunning, deserted beach.

AustraliaNo complaints.
Seven Turtles are located right in front of the beautiful beach - albeit - sea there is quite rough and swimming in it is probably not quite safe. However, long walks along the beach are amazing. Property itself is very clean, hence a great food and drink options. Breakfast is generous, room very big - both ocean view and park view are very large. Pool is big enough to swim in it - not laps to make you an Olympic champion, but still a good size pool. We liked that prices offered for activities were actually in line with what local operators charged. It all seemed very fairly priced. We know that owners are currently working on making the property bigger - they own the parcel next to the resort. If we were ever to return to Sri Lanka, we would stay there again.

GermanyWe were at first a bit surprised that there is really nothing around the hotel (no restaurants etc) but it’s ok because you have the most beautiful beaches very close.
Beautiful pool and restaurant area, nice and big rooms, and especially amazing beach right in front of the hotel, which is super long and empty. We saw the best beaches around this area which we went to with a rented scooter. Would recommend this as a place to relax and spend time at beaches.

The whole place is very peaceful and we did not feel the works next door (which they kindly pre-warned us about) distracted from the tranquil location. Ours was a sea view room and the loudest noise was the sound of the sea which was very nice! Thank you, from Hannah and George.
