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.).

Czech RepublicThe mosquito net was a bit dusty.
Perfect location, owners were nice and we had a really good breakfast for free. And also we bought dinner there and we were not even able to finish it how much we got. It was really delirious. The room was nice. I loved how they folded the towels and even decorated the bed with flowers. It is in walking distance from Sigiriya and nearby is a nice lake with view point to rock.

ItalyRead above for pro and cons
Lovely family, quiet place, green, just 10 minutes walking to the main road where all the restaurants are. Nice view of Lion rock. The room is humble but it has a great balcony to chill and eat. The food they make is delicious and way cheaper than the average restaurant (and tastier). We loved the breakfast! Like I said nothing fancy, the room gets very hot in the Arvo because facing west but it has two fans (even if one is very noise). But if you are travelling on a string like us, you are going to love this place. My advice is: eat here what they just prepare for you instead of going searching for good restaurants and get disappointed.

Lovely family, great location (definitely go for a swim in the lake!) Very helpful despite a little language barrier. I didn't try their food but hired the scooter for a day. Place is clean and room is lovely, not too hot as you can leave the balcony doors open. Mosquito net provided. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

United KingdomThe location was fantastic to see both rocks, our lovely host even organised a 5am tuk tuk for us to view Pidarangula Rock for sunrise. The homestay is also walkable distance to a lovely restaurant called Nirwana. Breakfast was delicious and the view from the terrace of Lions Rock is unmatched. You are really in the middle of the jungle here!

GermanyThe location of the homestay is amazing, there is a beautiful lake nearby and you have views of the lion rock. Drive to lionrock with tuktuk is only 10-15min. The breakfast is very delicious and I even got tee and some roti when I arrived. The owner is very kind and helpful ! The room itself is very simple, but the price is amazing :) There is an amazing organic cooking class just a 15min walk from the place, it was one of the highlights of my entire trip!
