Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

AustraliaFor 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 !
Wonderful 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 !

Loved everything! Our room was super clean, spacious with easy access to the pool, bar and beach, with a great balcony area to sit and relax too! 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

United KingdomThis 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!

RussiaWe are grateful for support and warm reception towards us. Each member of the staff was professional and friendly. The hotel territory is well-cared-for and ideal for undisturbed rest near the ocean. Our room was cozy and clean, the bed — super comfy. We also really enjoyed coffee and food at the hotel restaurant.

PortugalBeach Access: While the beach itself is lovely, the access from the hotel and the surrounding area could use some minor adjustments. A simple, low-cost improvement could elevate the quality and experience significantly
During our stay in Sri Lanka, this hotel turned out to be a wonderful surprise, exceeding all our expectations. Here’s a summary of our experience: • Food and Service: Absolutely spectacular. The quality of the cuisine and the professionalism of the staff were far above what we experienced in most other hotels in Sri Lanka. • Beach: The hotel’s beach is very good, but the real highlight is Silent Beach, just a short walk away. It’s truly incredible. • Internet: Works flawlessly throughout the property, which is rare and much appreciated. • Staff: Incredibly attentive and dedicated, ensuring a seamless and welcoming stay. • Rooms and Facilities: Spacious rooms, well-equipped, and offering all necessary amenities for comfort. • Value for Money: By far the best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka in terms of price-quality ratio. I highly recommend this hotel. Despite minor areas for improvement, the overall quality, outstanding service, and unique experience made our stay unforgettable. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Sri Lanka!

Czech RepublicDue to higher price and experience from another hotel I have expected better beach quality with some sun beds, umbrellas etc, nevertheless we had a scooter to reach Silent beach in 2 minutes, that is marvellous beach with free sun beds from local restaurant so it was not a problem
It was great accommodation with the kindest staff we met during our Sri lanka journey, also the room was clean, each day we got new bath and pool towels that smelled really fresh, breakfast was fantastic as well with good tea and sea view from restaurant terrace, there you can feel that staff cares about important details

An absolute gem! We ended up extending our stay because the vibe here. Kids loved it, didn’t want to leave. Nice food, nice drinks, location is great at this wonderful ”surf beach” (although none of us is surfing), the kids got so inspired they took their first even surf lessons. Staff is super nice and attentive, we got to rent a TukTuk directly through them, very convenient, and they recommended a few places to visit in the ”countryside”. And also, small detail, one of the best beds I’ve slept in…
