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.).

A Beautiful boutique hotel tucked away in the heart of a village but within easy reach of all the main sites. All the rooms were spacious with lovely furniture, comfortable beds and bed linen and well appointed. The communal areas and pool were so relaxing. The owner and staff were very attentive, friendly & professional, providing a wealth of information about the local area and helping to organise cost effective tours. The food (breakfast and evening meal) was delicious and inexpensive.

AustraliaIf I could give a tip, it would be to have more sunbeds (could also be on the grass part not next to the swimmingpool).
Amazing staff and really good hotel. For us, this has been the best price/quality place we have stayed in the 2 weeks were are travelling around Sri Lanka now.

AustraliaLocation was not within easy walking distance to a town or shops so we were unable to head out for lunch/dinner (which was fine as Hotel Heladiv had great food options at their restaurant).
Staff were fantastic and friendly. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean, and the shower had hot water. Restaurant on site had tasty food and the whole premises had a calming vibe.

The hotel is nice, clean, and has a pool. Breakfast was good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's a bit further out from the city, so you're more or less forced to eat at the hotel, but the food is good and the price/quality is excellent.

BelgiumA perfect place to explore the temples of Anuradhapura and Mihintale. We asked for a private guide and the hotel set us up with one of the best guides, a very friendly and experienced man. We arrived at noon, refreshed ourselves in the pool and great rooms (good beds!) and at 4pm the guide took us to Mihintale. We had a great dinner at the hotel and also the breakfast was a 100%. At 9:30am our guide took us with his tuktuk to the temples and showed us around this magnificent place. We finished the day with a refreshing dive in the pool. A great stay and highway recommended!

NetherlandsWe just stayed 3 nights at the hotel Heladiv in Anuradhapura. We had a great time. Wonderful rooms, nice relaxing area's and open restaurant and a very nice pool. The staff realy goes out of their way to help you and make your stay more comfortable. 5 star experience. Excellent value for money! It's a bit out of the way, but that's not a problem. Breakfast is very nice, but everybody morning the same. They could give a bit more variation. But I do highly recommend this place! They arranged a very nice and informative tuktuk tour to the ancient city of Anuradhapura. If your looking for a friendly and good guide, ask for Sanjana. Great value.
