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 reviewRana and his wife went out of their way to help us, including an early morning drop off to walk Piduragala Rock. The food was excellent - Rana prepared an excellent dinner for us after our late arrival and the breakfast was delicious. A peaceful spot.

Verified reviewThe treehouse, which is the only one on the property, was very airy, with a comfortable bed and a deck to enjoy the banana garden view. Very good breakfast (and dinner if requested) was served at the table below the tree house. The bathroom with shower was adequate. The hosts Rana and his wife are very welcoming. Rana himself drove the jeep in the Minneriya National Park and also drove us to Anuradhapura at the end of our stay. His brother took us to Dambulla by tuktuk. Great quiet location from where you can easily walk to climb Pidurangala Rock. Very few moskitos, at least when we were there.
We liked everything.

Verified reviewRana was the best host! He picked me up from the bus station, took me to the small rock and climbed it with me for sunrise and then made me a huge breakfast! I mentioned also I needed an ATM and he offered straight away to take me there so I didn’t have to pay for a Tuktuk.
There were a lot of bugs in the room, but it’s to be expected when you’re staying practically in the jungle.

Verified reviewRana Treehouse is a stunning place to stay, surrounded by lush greenery. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast while watching buffaloes and birds. Rana is a great host who even took us on a motorcycle tour around his town. We had a great time!

Verified reviewI stayed with Rana for three nights. The treehouse is surrounded by palmtrees and fields. Around the treehouse live cows, peacocks, waterbuffalos and so many more animals. I loved just watching them while having a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. The host Rana is very welcoming and you can see instantly that he is very passionate about his selfbuilt Treehouse. We went on Elefant Jeep Safari and climed Pidurangala Rock for Sunset. He also took me to a waterfall and to the lake (which had stunning views on the two rocks!!!) He drove me around for all three days and showed me around his village. I felt very welcome and it definitely was a great adventure! Highly recommend!!! (There was bad to no Wifi so download an audiobook or bring a book and enjoy some unplugged time in the jungle)

Verified reviewWe had a great stay at Rana Treehouse. It is a really nice experience. The owner is really nice and wants to make you feel good and comfy. He took us around his village and was great company. It is about 25 minute walk to Pidurangala Rock but he can also offer you a lift with his bike. The view from the treehouse is really nice, in the jungle. You hear a lot of bird sounds, which is really nice and relaxing. We stayed there for 2 nights. You get breakfast at his place and for dinner he can take you to a restaurants nearby. Highly recommended!!
It can be hot in the night because there is no air conditioning.

Verified reviewWow - this place exceeded our expectations. So far the best accomodation we had ! It's really like the photos. The view is amazing, the tree house is in the back of the garden and we feel totally alone. Rana is very welcoming and he is very generous. The food (we had dinner and the complimentary breakfast) was one of the best we've had in Sri Lanka. We highly recommend to eat there ! This place is perfectly located, only 20mins walk to Pidurangala rock, the alternative to Sigiriya. This place is a gem ! 100% recommended !
Nothing, everything was perfect !

Verified reviewRana the owner and builder of the homestay is top notch. He is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and even a safari tour guide as well. The tree house has a huge deck pointed out towards the jungle and the wildlife, greenery, and sheet serenity is as peaceful as it gets. Cant give enough thanks. Wonderful time. And cant forget about the amazing breakfast and slam apple village tea.

Verified reviewIdeal place to be free with a beautiful environment. Dinner and breakfast with delicious food and drinks are very tasty. Although it is an elephant-friendly area, they can be easily seen by a high-rise area. I was able to spend my travel trip fun and beautiful. Thank you ; Ranjan (Rana Treehouse)
