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 reviewI liked the owners they were really sweet and the secluded location was perfect for a good rest. Beautiful trees and jungle view outside the room.
There wasn't AC but the fan was sufficient in the end. Would have been nice to have a sheet and towel provided.
Thank you for your valuable feedback .please note that this booked room doesnt provide A/C.its mention about room description

Verified reviewThank you for hosting us in your beautiful property. The garden / outside were lovely. I enjoyed having delicious breakfast while sitting outside. Hosts are very nice and helpful. Thank you for getting us on a bus after our stay.
We didn’t have big bedsheets at the beginning but the hosts brought us bigger ones. Very reactive!

Verified reviewIt's a small, family-run home stay in a pretty garden. The host was exceptionally friendly, always smiling and making sure we're well taken care of. He offered us fruit juice and helped us catch a bus (directly from the road near the Sath Rest, so very convenient). This homestay is in walking distance to go to a safari trip (we went with nature trails) The host doesn't really speak English, but it wasn't much of an issue - his son helps with translation if needed.
Set of bedsheets and the smell of the room were more in local style, which can be a bit tiring. It was clean but aromas/detergents used were unpleasant for us.

Verified reviewGood location (in nature but close to city center). Bed wlth mosquito net. Always hot water. Towels. The host is very nice and helpful (stopped the bus for us, borrowed a charger, ...). The host only speaks little english. One time he did not understand us so he called his son Ishan to translate. Breakfast and dinner were plenty, good and cheap. Habanara is the perfect location to visit Polonnaruwa, Annuradhapura, Sigyria and Dambulla - even by bus. Habanara is nicer than Dambulla.

Verified reviewSath Rest is a wonderful guesthouse, run with attentiveness and helpfulness by the family. Lovely, quiet location and Haberana is an excellent centre to visit Sigiriya, Dambulla and others. Great food on request and the portions are enormous!
