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.).

GermanyThe Hotel is very close to the Main road, which is good and bad, on the one hand you can go everywhere by a short walk, on the other hand it was really loud, also at night.
The room was big and clean. Everything worked and the equipment was good. There is a gym inside the hotel which you can use and it’s really nice.

For the price I paid the room was big and spacious, with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Very close to the beach and all the amenities, restaurants, shops, and bus station. Hotel has a kitchen for the guests who want to cook food :), a fitness center for working out.

GermanyAmazing stay - highly recommended! I stayed 5 days at Cozy Sea View Inn and was so sad as I had to leave. The owner Rajesh and all the people who are working there are so helpful and support you in any case. Laundry, Scooter Rental, recommendations, Shisha, Cocktails, Best breakfast + lunch + Dinner & Drinks in the Restaurant La Vie Belle, which belongs to the Hotel. The Ingredients like fruits, Vegetables/ Fish are super fresh! I ate there everyday because it was wo tasty. I will definitely come back. Warmest recommendation, if you want an amazing Sri Lanka experience with kind people and all services you could wish for (even it has an own gym, which is very nice). P. S. Best Garlic Prawns & Brownie of Hikkaduwa! :) Alina

Sri LankaCozy Sea View Inn is a fantastic place to stay in Hikkaduwa! Close to the main road and within walking distance of everything you need, it’s super convenient. The family room was huge, perfect for a family of four, with clean rooms and bathrooms. The on-site restaurant was adorable and served exceptional food and drinks. Highly recommend it for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

SwedenThe train is going by a couple of times a day. We did not care and did not notice it but maybe some would do if you are sensitive.
We loved the location, the staff, the food and drinks and the gym. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The beach is close but we choosed to go go to one a bit further away that is a bit more calm. The hotel offers alot of activites as surflessons, tours, taxi etc.

United KingdomThe lady who checked us in did not interact with us much and did not give us a warm welcome when we arrived, which we have experienced in every other hotel we have stayed in Sri Lanka. The hotel is above a gym so there are a good few steps to get to your room.
The room is big and so is the bed. The location is good in terms of by the beach and the local bars/restaurants. It is also only about a 6 minute walk to the train station.

United KingdomNothing. It is next to the train track, so it can be a little noisy during the day, but no trains at night, so all good.
The staff at Cosy inn were absolutely fantastic. The chefs could definitely rival fine dining chefs. The boys who cleaned the rooms were also fab. And the bar staff were absolutely amazing. Great team! I highly recommend the place.

FranceIt is not ON the beach as the photo shows but rather next by to the train tracks so you can hear them at night. Right when we arrived we saw a huge cockroach in the bathroom, which is not the hotel faults but they should’ve checked the room before we came.
The balcony was nice. And it is also nice that you are able to use the gym next door for free.

BelarusMy short stay of one week😅 I need to come for longer) one month would be my perfect time)
Literally everything, beginning from the stylish entrance. Once I got in the hotel, I saw beautiful stylish design in surfing mood. Then I was met by a smiling person at the reception. And as I am attending gym, I felt absolute happiness when entered the massive awesome gym. Rooms are clean, big shared area for gatherings and as a bonus, the place has a kitchen with all the necessary equipment:) I felt like in paradise specially considering the money value. If I am back to Sri Lanka , this is the place I will stay in. And even more, I feel like I want to come back to Sri Lanka just because I want to come this hotel again😍 the Owner is the best helpful person:) wishing big success to all the team😍
