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.).

SpainHaving to pre-order meals, but I understand why as it is a small, family-run place. However, the meals by the pretty lake were tasty and relaxing.

Situated close proximity to ancient city. Run by a friendly family. They are very attentive towards the guests & even prepared us 'Gilanpasa' offerings for sacred Bo tree. Authentic delicious sri lankan food available for a reasonable price. Heard they provide bicycles on request if you want to explore the sorrounding.

United KingdomMy room was overlooking a wetland area with marshy lake. You can have breakfast/ lunch by the lake and see amazing birds and wildlife (big monitor lizard was swimming around when I was there). The family are friendly and helpful, cook a wide range of tasty food to order and have a tuk tuk for transport. Communal dining tables so is possible to meet other guests or you can chill and do your own thing. The location is very close to the Abhayagiriya stupa and Samadhi Buddha statue. Great price for a large double room when I stayed there.

NetherlandsThis was a little paradise on its own. The family is so friendly and helpful. We got a room overlooking the green ricefields and had our breakfast and dinner in the garden, surrounded by the birds. The place is located in the part of Anuradhapura where all the ancient ruins are and a bit further away from the more modern part of the city. Perfect if you want to explore the ancient ruins. We cycled and scootered around and had a wonderful stay.

ThailandIt is set amongst rice fields a 8 mns tuk tuk ride to the holy stupas. Lots of birdlife a gentle breezes to enjoy in the garden setting. The bathrooms & bedding were very clean, simple mattress & furniture; excellent value. The family that hosted us were very hospitable looking after our needs. The food was homemade, herbal fresh and clean. Ordering breakfast in the evening and advising ahead of our meal order gave them ample time so that we could eat promptly without long wait as at home stays the family are managing all the services. It was a a super comfortable, relaxed experience.

GermanyThe very left room of the main accommodation complex was moldy since the rain could come through the roof. All other rooms are very tidy and clean.
The accommodation is very close to the old city, with many temples and sightseeing options. The persons are very kind and offer great food. Their garden and especially the lotus lake on the property are very beautiful!

NetherlandsAlthough their English is relatively basic, we were able to communicate just fine
We had the best stay at Meegahapokuna. The location is right next to the temple district, which is convenient for sightseeing. The family that runs the place are incredibly kind. They made sure that we were comfortable throughout our stay and helped us to rent bicycles and to find our bus at the station. The husband brought us in their tuktuk to these places. Their cooking is out of this world! We tried many of the dishes on the menu and all contained deep flavours, were freshly made and very filling. Some of the best food we ever had and for a good price. There is a nice 10 minute walk to the lake and the daughters accompanied us, thanks for the lovely chat! Bird-lovers can eat their heart out; while sitting in the relaxing chairs next to the pond at the resort we spotted many waterbirds, kingfishers, pelicans, hornbills, bee-eaters, eagles etc etc They have almost finished building a new, luxurious room at the second floor with great views over the rice fields.

IndiaNothing I can point to
ThilakaRatne & his wife Kanchana are really hardworking & amazing hosts. The property itself is amidst the Paddy fields on one side & the jungle to the other side, which makes an ideal place to stay if you love nature. Thilakaratne has his own farm & he lays all those fresh produces on your table everyday. The Food they served were all very delocious & they were also very reasonably priced. I also took the tuktuk services, where he himself drove me around the Anuradhapura city ruins,concluding in Mihintale. If you are in Anuradhapura, I definitely recommend this place

Her husband also arranged tuk tuks for us to tour Anuradhapura. The location is rustic and quiet. A lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life
