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.).

New ZealandI loved everything
We couldn't believe our luck booking this hotel. After a month of travelling it felt like luxury but incredibly reasonably priced. The rooms are spacious and modern but with beautiful antique touches. Super comfortable large bed, and bathroom comes with lovely shampoo, conditioner and bodywash, a first on my travels. Rooftop bar for watching the sunset and overlooks a park where locals fly kites and play cricket, very entertaining. I cannot recommend this place more highly, my favorite in all my travels and I hope u can return. Thank you so much!!!

AustraliaVery friendly staff, good clean room and value for money. The location inside the fort overlooking a green and the ocean is excellent. Sitting in the roof top area watching mostly children fly their kites before dusk was almost magical. Nice breeze in the afternoon on this side a Galle which makes for comfort. Good breakfast and dinner options. Plenty of good eating options close by. In house tuk tuk and driver hire options

This was honestly the best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka, the room was perfect- bed was so comfortable, nice blankets and pillows, great AC, and really nice modern shower. Every little detail was thought of and taken care of! The hosts were also fantastic, helping us out with recommendations around town. This is the place to stay in Galle, amazing location right near the water and in the old historical fort - there are tons of restaurants and shops around. Plus you can watch sunset right from the rooftop lounge! 10/10 Hope to come back and stay here again soon!

GermanyYou need earplugs for weekdays as the school nextdoor is extremely loud. The hotel provides them for you at the reception, it would be helpful to refer to this while check in. Cool water in the shower at some times during the day is fine, but an info for that would be nice, too.
Very central located in Galle Fort. You can reach everything nearby by foot and even hear the sea from your room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room is as seen on the pictures, well equipped and comfy. I definitely recommend this place.

Sri LankaWe would have preferred if there was a small sit-out area on the terrace, at least for guests to relax and chat until late at night—perhaps until around midnight, especially since the breeze was lovely. We noticed that the door to the terrace was closed around 10:30 p.m. and remained closed until 11 a.m. the next day (when we were leaving). It may have been to minimize heat or sunlight, but when traveling with friends, we enjoy having a space outside the room to sit and talk. We were using the first-floor sitting area, but we realized there was a bedroom nearby, and we didn’t want to disturb the guests staying there. The upstairs terrace would be ideal for this purpose, as long as guests have access to it.
Cleanliness, supportive and friendly staff

Sri LankaThere's a school next door that blasts music in the mornings. The hotel provides ear plugs and that solves the problem. The shower water pressure could be better.
I've stayed at three properties in Galle and the Seagreen Guest House was by far the best. The room was clean and fresh with plenty of room to move around, do yoga, or whatever. There's a nice rooftop terrace too, that looks out onto the sea and sunset. Very friendly staff.

Good location in the fort itself for a very good price. Spacious room with a huge bed and comfortable mattress. The bathroom was massive and good water pressure. Solar heated water but the staff can heat it more electrically if required. They were amenable to all requests from us. Would definitely recommend this place to prospective guests.
