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 are 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 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.).

PolandSmall, cozy hotel in calm location, on the sandy beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good facilities, except so so Wifi. Great breakfast and overall good food options on site in the restaurant. Surfers paradise. Restaurants near by and 3 km walk on the beach is a plus.

United KingdomThe beach wasn’t very pleasant it was really dirty and littered which was a shame as we booked the hotel for the beachfront location and then didn’t use the beach.
The rooms, pool and the garden were lovely so clean and relaxing. Breakfast was great soo much food and they did a lovely takeaway breakfast for when we had to leave early one morning.

The Seascape is in an amazing location just at the beach. The team is super professional with attention to detail and super warm and friendly at the same time, which is a rare experience. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book it again. Especially their Sri Lankan food is amazing and there are also beach restaurants next door, that are excellent. The place is perfect for surfing or a beach holiday and to watch an amazing sunset. They also clean the beach in front of the hotel regularly, which is nice. There are rooms on the top floor and on the ground floor. The ground floor room is practical, since you just need a few steps to the beach, the top floor rooms might have nicer views and a bit more privacy.

RussiaThe hotel staff is super helpful! Unfortunately, I can't give you the names, but they were all very hospitable! always smiled and tried to make our stay as cozy as at home! We stayed in this hotel for five days, the hotel staff suggested which landmark nearby we should visit, suggested where there are good beaches! There is actually nowhere to walk near the hotel (only along the seashore), but we were always called a tuk-tuk and we went to the nearest city to the supermarket or for dinner! Most of all, we liked the fact that we were the only guests in the hotel during the entire period! Super clean pool! Delicious and plentiful breakfasts with ocean views! They were met at the airport with a sign and very carefully brought to the hotel! we have got a lot of useful information about our further trip around the island!

United KingdomThe breakfasts are outstanding so please ask for a Sri Lankan breakfast which is out of this world !! Truly amazing The rooms are clean and comfortable. Pool area and bar area are lovely too and the staff are so welcoming.
This property is the most amazing place, and I am so grateful to all the staff who made my trip super special. From the moment I arrived nothing was too much trouble. I like to sit in the beach so every morning they arrange the lounger for me. The staff also arranged a tuk tuk driver for me who was outstanding and as a solo traveller I felt so safe but also grateful for everything over the 5 days. We visited some amazing places that will stay in my memory forever!

GermanyThe location was one-of-a-kind, incredible view through palm trees onto the beautiful beach. Very calm neighbourhood. The pool is large, beautiful and very clean. It is partially shaded by the building after noon, which is perfect if you are swimming with little ones to prevent sunburn. The staff is very lovely and helpful! If you are up for more than your average toast&butter, ask for Sri Lankan breakfast (in the morning) or for Sri Lankan Curry for dinner. The rooms are spotlessly clean. If you stay for more than a few days, you might miss some features like space or even hooks to store your wardrobe which are common in that price range. But these are just little things that do not really reduce the unique experience of staying here. There are free surfboards at the hotel, but they could use a little maintenance. There is a surf rent and guide right next to the place on the beach, so this is not an issue.

AustraliaThe location was excellent for our needs - located close to Matara town and situated on a private road with good privacy and security and a splendid balcony view of the sea . The staff at Seascape were very hospitable, friendly, punctual, and trustworthy which is the most memorable highlights. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, spacious, and had decent amenities (reading lights, air conditioning, desk, kettle, safe vault, wardrobe). Although located near the beach, you can still get a good-nights sleep as the roar of the sea is less noticeable once you close the balcony door. The Seascape also offers dining, particularly breakfast. We had both continental and local breakfast items which were freshly prepared!
