How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA lovely place. Spotlessly clean, good AC, comfy beds and good shower. You get your own sitting area and table outside the room surrounded by lovely gardens. The internet worked surprisingly well. The host is great and very responsive. SHe prepared us breakfast each morning and it was a different and delicious sri lankan dish along with a more traditional western option, plus fruit and freshly made juice. The place is at the end of a short laneway and fields are on the other side of the property. You can hear the peacocks and elephants even come nearby. You can easily walk to a few restaurants on the main road. It is quiet and peaceful. Exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend.
The only negative is that it is a shower in the open room, extremely common in Sri Lanka. However, there is a provided floor squeegee and the drainage is good, so the floor does not stay wet, which is typically my issue with this setup.

Verified reviewEverything about this place was amazing! The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious and clean. The outdoor area was simply beautiful—quiet, serene, and surrounded by greenery. You’ll love the presence of colorful birds and playful squirrels, which make the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the host’s incredible cooking! Make sure to order your meals in advance so they can prepare something delicious for you. Overall, this is a perfect spot for relaxation and reconnecting with nature. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewDimuthu was an exceptional host who truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. She made sure we had everything we needed, and the breakfast she prepared was absolutely delicious. To top it off, she even made us a packed breakfast to go at 6:30 AM for our 5-hour drive, which was incredibly thoughtful. I highly recommend staying at her place – the location is perfect!

Verified reviewStaying here for 1 night was the highlight of our trip. Close to sigiriya, it is a quiet beautiful house backing onto fields, with beautiful nature and a sense of peace. On an afternoon walk along the track at the back of the house we saw many peacocks, a wild tortoise and fresh elephant tracks. It was exciting. Dimuthu was the perfect host, and the breakfast was incredible. Thank you!!!!

Verified reviewNice clean room with bathroom. Delicious breakfasts in local style. Very nice owner who can always be counted on for help. We recommend
The room and bathroom are modestly furnished. In our room, more hangers, a shelf, or furniture for a second suitcase would be useful.

Verified reviewWe had a great time at the accommodation and Dimuthu was a great hostess. The breakfast was really delicious and on request she also made us one of the best curries for dinner that we have had in Sri Lanka so far. When we wanted to rent a scooter, Dimuthu got one for us and less than 10 minutes later it was at our doorstep. I can only recommend this accommodation. Any time again, thank you Dimuthu :)
The location is a bit out of the way but was just right for us. You have peace and quiet and a great view of the huge garden
Thank you so much sir for your beautyful feed back best regards 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰

Verified reviewAbsolutely perfect from start to finish. Room was spotless, bed was very comfortable, featured a mosquito net. Wild elephants roam nearby so an amazing experience to be able to see their footprints and the chance to see the elephants themselves at night. Monkeys and peacocks too. Bathroom was modern and spotless also, shower was nice and hot. Breakfast was gorgeous, Dimuthu made homemade delicacies each morning (things like roti, pancakes, muffins, eggs) and it was like our own mini buffet! Dimuthu is one of the most hospitable hosts in our whole 9 months of travelling. A truly lovely lady who was so kind in showing us around the area.
Everything was perfect, couldn’t find one fault.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay! Dimuthu was so kind and organised us any activity and tuktuk driver to destinations. We ate amazing breakfast & dinner there, prepared vegan for our request - so tasty and colorful! Her garden is also very beautiful and calming. We recommend this stay from the bottom of our hearts!
We loved everything! But good to notice that this is not a central location, and main attractions need to be reached with a tuktuk.
