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 KingdomI think that the overall cost is too much for the accommodation and food. The price is major city centre but not what I think is reflective of Kandy.

FranceThe equipment was a little run down and a little dusty, But they are in construction.
Unique find, like stepping back in time. Incredible service, lovely historical home that feels cozy and comfortable. We really appreciated the big comfy bed with a mosquito net, the clawfoot bathtub and our private porch (Sri Lankan breakfast and the 7 curry dinner were exceptional!) the secluded jungle pool was also lovely.

ColombiaAdigar's Manor is a hidden gem nestled amidst the lush landscapes near Kandy. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the warmest of welcomes, reflecting the genuine hospitality Sri Lanka is renowned for. The manor itself is a beautifully restored ancestral home, exuding old-world charm while offering modern comforts. Our room was elegantly furnished, providing a perfect blend of tradition and luxury. Culinary experiences here are nothing short of extraordinary. Both breakfast and dinner showcased authentic Sri Lankan flavors, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Dining on the veranda, overlooking the serene gardens, added a magical touch to each meal. The attentive service, tranquil surroundings, and delectable cuisine made our stay truly unforgettable. Adigar's Manor is more than just accommodation; it's an experience that captures the heart and soul of Sri Lanka.

Isle of ManLimited choice of food, average dinner. Yoga class did not happen. Room on the small side with no balcony and no views, noise from kitchen ie: really bad room in a good hotel. Expensive and boring in comparison to other good Sri Lankan hotels
Great quiet location. The hotel is charming and well maintained. Swimming pool overlook in jungle and rice fields is stunning.

United KingdomThe evening meal was quite disappointing. It was unreasonably expensive and the quality of the food in no way justified the cost. The starter and the dessert were bought in and fairly bland on both occasions we ate there.
Staff were excellent - Prasan our butler was exceptional and really helped make the stay memorable. The swimming pool was amazing - set nicely in a landscape of lush vegetation.

United KingdomGoogle Maps has inaccurate coordinates for the property that overshoot the main entrance to the property by a few hundred feet; this really should be corrected by management at their earliest convenience given it's an unnecessary inconvenience for arriving guests. The rooms aren't sizeable, which makes space tighter but given the setting, flair and age of the property is perfectly acceptable. While it is a bonus for two neighbouring rooms to have access to a shared veranda, it is imperative that staff manage these overlapping common areas properly so guests don't find themselves in the awkward position of "having to fight it out directly with their neighbour" when it comes to cocktail hour lounge chair use, or private dinner or breakfast settings... that quickly becomes an unnecessary nuisance and spoils what could otherwise have been a perfectly flawless stay...
Kandy House with its uniquely landscaped gardens has an exquisite and grandiose colonial feel from the minute you set foot on the property; it provides all essentials in a small and familiar footprint. With its 9 rooms, it's a boutique hotel in the truest sense providing authenticity through and through. The service is unparalleled, down to the personal butler detail. The estate is impeccably well maintained. The pool setting is majestic, yet blends perfectly into the natural scenery, including resident barking deer. The breakfast options a dream. The dinners a culinary delight (although pricey).

This is truly a beautiful property, the house itself, is like walking into a bygone era . It is sumptuously decorated. We had the Royal Peacock suite, which was stunning. The house is set in beautiful lush gardens with an attractive infinity pool, overlooking paddy fields. We were assigned two butlers who were very attentive and as I have food allergies the chef made me some truly delicious meals.

Pradeep's attentive service stood out, ensuring our stay was comfortable and memorable.
