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...).

Sri LankaThey swapped our room for a lower class room and took the same price for it. The room was tiny and the bathroom shower was next to the commode, was very uncomfortable. On the beach they don't maintain any chairs, day beds or seating, so u have to go to another properties restaurant.
Property is beautiful and access to the beach is lovely.

Sri LankaWe booked a standard double room. The AC didn't work properly and it was so noisy. The staff tried to fixed it but they couldn't do it. They gave us another standard room which was a very small room and we were not satisfied with that room at all. Then we paid for a deluxe room which was more comfortable and everything was fine in that room.
It's less than 2 minutes to the huge , calm and relaxing beach.

AustraliaI had the Cabana’s booked for a family of four. I had to book 2 rooms as only two people can stay in each room. The bed area itself is fine, however the bathroom very small and shower is tiny. I’m only small build and I could get in sideways, stay still and let the shower wet me and get out in the same way. One of the cabana’s started leaking as it rained heavily. We got moved to one of the executive rooms and the executive room is spacious and has a balcony view. There is a train track right next to the property. It is bit noisy when the trains pass through, but not a big deal.
The executive rooms are great. It is big, the bathrooms are fairly large. Shower is decent size. The beach is just 5 mins walk from the back of the property through a little green area and there are wooden lounges with cushion is there just for the property renters. Location wise it is a great place.

Sri LankaThe washroom was not cleaned properly and had a bad smell. That was a major turn off. Its also very small and some one big would definitely have a problem using it. Had it not been for these issues I might have rated the property with a 9 or 10.
Superb staff and location was awsome!

United KingdomThe internet is only on between certain times - they turn it off at 11pm for the night which can be a bit annoying!
Amazing location near a gorgeous beach - literally a two minute walk away. Great value for money especially if you’re on a budget - our room was £11 a night and had everything we needed. The room didn’t have AC, just a fan that wasn’t that strong but you can’t really complain for the price and they do have other rooms with AC in. The staff are super lovely and gave us welcome drinks - we would definitely recommend.

Sri LankaWe had a look at the cabana, the shower cubicle was too small about 3*5 feet. Something to think about if you're a large person. The breakfast could have been better.
Very accommodating staff and owners. We booked the cabana, but due to an air-conditioner malfunction- they provided us a room for the same price. Direct access to a private beach area, very short walk away.

Sri LankaIt was a wonderful stay at this place.This is the second time we had this awsum tranquility.So much of attraction around the place including the beach.Its always better to reserve a Cabana where u will have much more privacy. Place is clean and tidy and the care taker is doing a great job.Their breakfast is amazing with traditional Srilankan food. I recommend this place who ever wanna enjoy their holidays for a reasonable price. The couple who runs the business tries to offer their fullest support and drop by the place to have a nice chat with us. Keep up the good work guys.We will be their soon 👍

United KingdomAt this value, there is nothing not to like
The hosts were very good and extremely attentive. Sajee, who served us breakfast , went out of his way to ensure we had everything we wanted. He suggested a typical Sri Lankan breakfast , which was delicious. Thanks, Sajee.. We had a room that was much bigger than expected with good air conditioning and plenty of cupboard space . Excellent value for money, and a wonderful beach just a few meters away. Everyone was so helpful. We would return if only to see the two delightful gardeners, who smile and .8ensure you are comfy, each time you visit the beach ⛱️

Sri LankaI recently stayed at Sea Shells Cabana, and I am very disappointed with my experience. The room provided was completely different from the photos shown online, which is extremely misleading. The quality of the room was poor, and it did not meet basic expectations for cleanliness and comfort. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Extremely dissatisfied.

The view from rooms is an unkempt garden area not pleasant to look at. Sea cannot be seen from the property. We asked for cancellation but they asked 50% cancellation fee..WiFi useless.
Upon our deep displeasure on rooms provided the staff arranged one deluxe triple room with an extra bed for all 4 of us. That room was ok.
