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...).

HungaryReally nice place to stay in Arugam Bay. The hotel has a nice ambient, beautiful garden. The owner and the staff are lovely and very helpful. We had good chats and they help us in any way we needed. The room was clean and nice, just like the bathroom. It has a very good value for the price. AC works fine and there is a ceiling fan as well. The beach is just the end of the street, 50 meters. There are many good places to eat nearby.

FranceHad a great stay at Beach Cap Resort! The room was clean, comfortable, and came with strong air conditioning – perfect after a hot day at the beach. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, and the host was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend for a chill, hassle-free stay in Arugam Bay.

AustriaEverything was perfect
The bed is really huge and comfortable with a mosquito net, the AC in the room is working good and the bathroom was nice. Everything was clean and it was all decorated with a lot of love. In front of the entrance there’s also a place to sit outside or lie in a hammock. Nayeem the manager loves gardening and has a lot of different plants outside. We felt really welcomed from the beginning. Nayeem’s kindness and generosity is overwhelming! Also Ashib is very very kind! You can use the kitchen as well! The place is situated very good, you’re near the beach so you hear the waves breaking from the room and you’re near the Main Street (restaurants, markets, shops) but no too near so you don’t hear all the noise. We would definitely come again!

FranceThe property is located right by the beach. Very welcoming host and very helpful. We arranged a Safari through Beach Cab resort as well. The room we had was super clean and the bed sooo comfortable. Even if Breakfast is not included we got offered a coffee every morning. I really recommend Beach Cab Resort for your stay in Arugam.

AustraliaHidden down an alley up the northern side of Arugam Bay is Beach Cab Resort, a cosy little place right next to a good section of beach. The staff here are very friendly and let us check in the early hours of the morning. The garden around the cabins is well kept and you can see butterflies and native birds around. The AC is also very good and will chill the room very quick.

United KingdomMy stay at Beach Cap was fantastic the staff really make this small hotel amazing. The friendly staff provided an excellent laundry service and will make the best coffee in the morning they have become close friends because of the way they are and their hospitality. Nayeem the manager runs the accommodation very well and will even take you excursions to see elements and crocodiles. The local Tuk Tuk driver Mauna would go out of his way to take you anywhere you want at a very reasonable price even for a morning surf at 4:30 am The room was excellent with a large very comfortable double bed, good air conditioning and its own private en-suite shower room that was very clean. There is also a private courtyard attached to each room with a hammock coffee table and a few chairs I can put my hand on my heart and say that this is the very best place that I have stayed ❤️

FinlandThe garden space was bit smaller than we had though based on the images, and other quests had their patios very close to ours, not much privacy. Even the other quests just discussed on normal voice level, all could be heard in the room. But not a big deal.
Good location, nice small garden, own hammock patio. Great breakfast. The room had hooks for hanging clothes, good fan and decent ac. Host was helpful, and very nice guy.
