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...).

United KingdomThe bedroom & bathroom is modern, spacious and clean. The host was kind and very helpful. The location is a two minute walk to one beach and 8 minutes to the next. Free bottle of water and a tea station in the room. There is hot water available and it is only a few minute walk to the bus station.

AustraliaThe only drawback was no breakfast.
Very well located small boutique hotel, moments from the good end of Dickwella Beach. We loved this hotel, and the staff were so lovely and helpful. 3 minute walk to the beach and beach restaurants. About a 15/20 minute walk into the heart of Hiriketiya Beach.

ItalyI actually can't think of anything. I only would suggest the owner to give one extra towel for the beach 🏖️
The house is 2 minutes from the Dickwella Beach and my room was absolutely fine, clean and comfortable. The owner is very nice, helpful, available for any doubt or question. I would highly recommend this place if you don't enjoy the crowds because it was a peaceful stay.

United KingdomIncredible host, immaculate property, perfect replaced vibes. So close to the beach. We had a wonderful time staying at surf heavens. We were messaged the day of arrival to check our check in time, we were welcomed with king coconuts. The room was lovely and clean with hot water, air con and even a kettle. The place is a great little home from home, could easily have stayed longer. The property is on the track to the beach, you come across some small local restaurants on the way which also do laundry at incredible prices. The beach is lovely, it is still natural with only suited beach shacks for drinks and food. No commercial hotels on the beach front.

SpainSince before my arrival the guy was super available and responsive to make me welcomed! I stayed in a room for the first night but I moved to a bigger one (ground floor with a small garden!) because it was available! I also decided to check out early and he was flexible in changing the dates! The position is very good and the house very cozy: it made me fell “I arrived home” every night :) They have Tuk Tuk and bike to rent but I did not need it! Good internet connection in case you need to work (as I had to!)

NetherlandsSqueaky bed.
We really liked staying here. As you can read in all the other comments the location is just wonderful. Really quiet but close to all the places you might want to go: Dikwella beach and its beach bars are 2 mins walk away. Hireketiya about 15 mins. To me the room and hotel looked much nicer than in the pictures. Dinesh is a friendly guy - always there for a little chat. And of course we loved the coconut he gave us on arrival.

Surf Heavens is ideally situated just steps away from the pristine Dickwella Beach, known for its calm waters, golden sands the location makes accessing the waves effortless. Plus, the surrounding area offers a serene and less touristy vibe compared to other beach destinations (Hiriketiya), making it a peaceful getaway.
