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...).

IsraelMy experience at Scoop Cabana is great and will come back soon as there is nothing negative
Location is great though its not at the edge of the water but few steps back. The crue is professional and making sure your needs are take care of. Food is absolutely on next level. When I needed a ride to Kalpitiya city, Kalpitiya Lagoon or just a ride to a near by the ATM, I jumped on the back seat of the scooter. Any request wasn't too much for the Scoop Cabana crue. Price wise, it is a great place value per money and I have stayed there for a full month

United StatesMy best stay in the country and one of the best in my extensive travels in Asia! Room was basic but adequate, nice view of ocean from balcony, 1 minute walk to swimming beach. Host and staff were very very nice. I was able to get good custom meals delivered to my balcony. Host purchased drinking water and gin and tonic supplies in town for me. And he booked dolphin tours at approx $20 less than web price I found. And he took me to a shop in town to get my duffle bag repaired. All staff were pleasant and always smiling. A wonderful stay and I wish I had been able to stay longer than 5 nights. Minor issue is that squirrels can get in room and tore open a bag of snacks.

PolandFlies :( but it wasn't really their fault I guess. And they tried to make it less inconvenient for me, for example during the breakfast they put a mosquito net around me. Also dogs that were roaming around were a bit annoying and sometimes scary when they made noise at night.
I came there not during a season, but they were extremely welcoming and tried to make my stay as comfortable and nice as possible. I even got a better room for the same price. They served a wonderful breakfast for a good price. And they are right next to the beach, you can walk there barefoot. Also, next door you will find a very nice dive shop. And I really appreciate the drop off at the bus station when I was leaving!

SpainAll good.
Location is lovely, just a few meters from the beach by the ocean and the lagoon. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful, we booked the most basic room and it had a comfortable bed and private bathroom. We only stayed two nights but I got the impression they would organise kite surfing, boat trips or safaris if you were staying longer.

Sri LankaOur AC room cost us 7000 rupees and we had to get another room without noticing them on the day we arrived there. There were 2 double rooms available and they changed us 7500/= for a double room (5p people stayed in the AC room for 7000 and it was comfortable) New room they gave us was very uncomfortable and 2 of my friends didn't sleep that night due to heat (there is no AC and AC until cannot be installed there) If that AC room cost 7000 on booking I would say that 2nd room's value is around 4000. They overcharged us.
Very nice location.

Sri LankaA Wonderful Stay at Scoop Cabana! Scoop Cabana is the perfect blend of comfort and nature. The peaceful surroundings and well-maintained cabanas create a relaxing atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. The place is clean, cozy, and offers great flexibility, making it ideal for any traveler. The cost is reasonable for the experience provided. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and well-prepared, adding to the overall charm of the stay. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway!
