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 reviewService was great, cooked us food whenever we needed, were okay with later check out after climbing Adam’s peak. They’re friendly and flexible and perfect location for Adam’s peak hike.
Shower pressure was awful. However I reckon any hotel in area probably has same issue. Fine for one night stay

Verified reviewThe staff was extremely friendly and the food was the best we had so far in Sri Lanka. It is also close to the start of the Adam‘s Peak hike which is a plus if you start your hike in the night.

Verified reviewWe had an amazing time at Hugging Clouds! Darshana welcomed us and was so lovely and helpful. The continental breakfast they serve is so tasty and we also loved their juices and coffee. For the food, prices are very attractive compared to other restaurants around. This is also ideally located for Adam’s Peak trail. The room has all the basics you need for a short stay. We would definitely come back in Hugging Clouds if we were travelling again in this place! We recommend 100%
Thank you for your heartful feedback. ❤️

Verified reviewThe staff were super helpful and friendly. Gave us some tips on what time to leave to hike up Adam’s Peak for the sunrise. Really comfortable place.
It doesn’t have aircon but you can ask for a fan. Even though it was hot outside, inside was a pleasant temp and no issue with that. Just something to consider if you like your room to be really cold for sleeping.
Thank you for lovely review

Verified reviewWe booked this place to climb the Sri Padaya (Adam’s peak), and it was absolutely exceptional! The hospitality of the owners, especially Darshana, was beyond words. They went out of their way to ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay for us! The rooms were very clean and comfortable. There was also hot water in the shower, which was very handy after the climb. The food in the restaurant is yummy, we had dinner and breakfast! Can’t recommend enough to anyone looking for a place to climb Sri Padaya!
we are grateful for your feedback😊Thank you so much❤️
