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...).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

NetherlandsWe stayed at the hotel for a couple nights to explore Sigirya and Dambulla. The location is right about in the middle. The rooms are spacious, airconditioned but the road is closeby so keep that in mind if you’re a light sleeper. The family is super friendly, no ask is too big. We had some very tasty dinners and fresh mango juice in the morning, amazing. They also organise the safari tours to Kaudulla National Park, the highlight of the trip for us, we got lucky and got to see the big male elephants with tusks. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience.

CanadaSome more counter space in the washroom and an outlet near the bed + a bedside table would be a good addition

United KingdomI had such a fantastic time at the Nature Lotus Villa, the staff couldn't be more helpful and really went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible. It's a family run villa and you are treated like family. Which I loved. I ate there every evening, and the food was outstanding, it was all fresh and homemade by Indo. I would highly recommend eating there. Indo was so inquisitive and asked me what types of food I would like, and she would then make it for me. The price was very reasonable also. I hadn't planned any trips, but nuwan with all his expert local knowledge, was able to book me two trips. Both trips were very reasonably priced. Highly recommended. I couldn't recommend this place enough!

We had an excellent stay. Everything was perfect! the room, the setting, the dinners and Nowen and his family do everything to make your stay pleasant. The walk around the lake is superb and a temple 15 minutes away on foot offers a splendid view of the surrounding mountains. The price of the services is very reasonable. (safari, transport...) you can trust them. Thanks for everything! 10/10

FranceThe owner nicely send us a text saying he will come and pick us up at the bus station when we arrived. But we’ve learnt the next day that it was a paying service, but it looked more like a gesture than a paying ride, because he never ever mentioned or warned us about it before arriving or while picking us up. The room was very close from the main road, but not that noisy. We had the pleasure and the surprise to be woken up by construction work that occurred on the roof, right on top of our room. The noise was really loud and started around 7 am, impossible to go back to sleep after that. No one warned us the evening we arrived. When we booked the room, we read that bikes where free and available if not being used. Though they haven’t mention any of that at any moment, and we did not see bikes anywhere.
Big room, good diner, nice family.

-Spotless rooms, almost brand new. -Lovely family crew that helps you with all your needs, always with a smile. -Dinner available under request, all is homemade food made by mum Indu who cooks the best Dahl and Chicken curry I ever tried after 3 weeks in the Island, good place to taste real local food. -Nuwan can arrange for you a Safari to any of the National parks around. (follow his recommendations as he knows which one has better chances to see elephants depending of the season) -Good location near Sigiriya and National parks.
