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...).

NetherlandsJust some small possible improvements I could think of. II would have appreciated an extra bin in the bathroom. Also the whole bathroom gets wet when taking a shower. This is often the case in Sri Lanka but to me it helps a lot if a squeegee is provided to get the thing dry again.
Beautiful place, only 8 months old, run by a friendly owner who speaks excellent English and is very happy to help whenever needed. The location is superb! The view from the roofterrace can't be beaten and very quiet. And it is only 400m from one of Anuradhapura's ancient sites.

AustraliaHonestly there wasn’t much to complain about. There were spiderwebs in the bathroom but other than that the beds were very nice and the room was clean.
The location was really good. The balcony had amazing views of the Abhayagiri Stupa and an amazing sunrise. The breakfast was also very very good and had an amazing homely feel about it. I really want to thank our host for his amazing service and hospitality even though we forgot to hand over our keys to him 😅.

Sri LankaThere were a few tiny ants near the waste bin kept inside the room. However, they were gone after we shifted the bin into the bathroom.
Friendly staff. Everything shown in photos on booking.com was available in the room. The bed was very comfortable. The view from the balcony and the rooftop was great. Homecooked dinner and breakfast served were delicious and reasonably priced.

Sri LankaThe location of Green Shield is absolutely beautiful and the view you get of Ahbayaghira at morning and night is stunning. The staff was so nice and welcoming, he made sure every request was fulfilled during our stay. The breakfast was really good and we got everything we asked for. If you want a quiet place to stay right outside of the Sacred city of Anuradhapura then this is your place.
