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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. 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.).

TurkeyJust mosquitos :( But they might be everywhere and it depends on the season of course.
The room, the view, the beach, and the staff were all great. The place is so romantic for couples and relaxing for solo travelers. I went to bird watching from there which Seven Turtles arranged and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I've had in my life.

Very peaceful location on a beautiful and clean beach which you could walk for miles on. Breakfast was excellent and we ate every meal in the evening in the restaurant which was also very good. Swimming pool was great, especially as the sea was too rough to swim in (which we knew before our visit). Lovely big room overlooking the beach and pool.

AustriaNot a complaint, as we loved watching the waves & it is nature, more of a 'to be aware'. The waves are onshore, and were big when we were there. We only allowed our children to go in until their waist. The current is strong, so I stayed with them whilst they were playing around in the dumping waves. I swam out past the waves once & it was hard going. Sri Lanka has a lot of surfing beaches, with big waves, so be aware/cautious when swimming. 7 Turtles has a nice pool, so after a play in the ocean, you can chill out in the pool :) Don't go to the turtle sanctuary for the evening 'egg-laying'. Very over-crowded, you wait hours to see a turtle under stress to get back into the ocean with many people around with cameras in the face of the poor turtle. The men coordinating this are rude, aggressive in their tone, and it cost 2000 Rupees per person...I think it is all about money-making for them. I do not recommend going. Better option is a the 'Victor Hasselbald Turtle Research Center' in Kosgoda (Hikkaduwa).
We loved 7 Turtles! We travelled throughout Sri Lanka for more than 3 weeks (12 hotels) and this was our favourite! We chose this hotel (from the photos) as it has enough palm trees to provide shade for all guests throughout the day on the sunbeds by the beach. We found the photos on all websites match the actual hotel. A huge positive is the free filtered water refill tank at the bar, so you are not constantly needing to buy water (and saving plastic by refilling 1 bottle), this is so smart, and also very considerate for guests, and the only hotel that did this. The owner was very helpful, the staff were friendly, the location is excellent (we went for daily walks up the beach). As it is nicely isolated (which we enjoyed) we ate all meals at the hotel (which we thought could be an issue, yet it wasn't). The breakfast variety is very good, we loved the daily fresh fruit platter, granola & fruit (in a jar), oats & fruit, eggs, pancakes, etc. Always more than enough food. We had a light snack at lunchtime, as dinner was always really good. We loved the 'Curry & Rice' dish, Vegetarian Kotu, and there are options (Pasta & pesto) even for our sons (12 & 16yrs) who are sometimes fussy with their meals. As always, the meals were plentiful and really good (very yummy). Beware: the chocolate brownie & ice-cream is hard to say no to :) There are 3 friendly hotel dogs (Lavazza, Late & Cappuccino) that like to look out for you and like to keep other hotel dogs on their stretch of the beach. We stayed for 4 days, and when we got to our next hotel, our children asked why we didn't stay longer at 7 Turtles (it was their favourite stay as well!). Apart from the other hotel guests, sometimes you only see 5 or 6 people (from other hotels) throughout the whole day. Most of the day, the beaches are deserted. I recommend the walk left of the beach (East).

PolandThis place is an absolute little paradise and we wish we would've stay there much longer, as it is an absolute gem and our favourite place in Sri Lanka. It is a secluded and very quiet place (we went during low season and it was perfect as the place was even more peaceful). The staff is extremely helpful, welcoming and nice. The facilities are perfect, swimming pool, sun beds, etc.The room was spacious, clean and nicely designed. The food was very good, not expensive. Good choice of breakfast menu to be eaten right on the beach - what more can you ask? The beach is amazingly beautiful, great for long walks and just peaceful. The ocean is rather rough for swimming, but it has also it's charm. The sound of the waves is unbeatable. Simply a beautiful place with very welcoming people. Thank you and hope to see you soon :)
