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...).

United KingdomA few very minor points: It would have been great if the language barrier wasn't there - but we managed to understand each other most of the time. Cushions on the pool-side loungers could be improved - but this by no means detracted from our overall experience. And the Wi-Fi could have been faster - but again, this was a very minor issue for us. Still loved our stay there.
Serenity Villa is amazing. The people will do anything they can to help, despite the language barrier. They were so helpful, friendly, attentive, kind and happy. They even helped to arrange a private Ayurvedic massage for my wife and I last the house. The property is nicely laid out, the garden well maintained and the food is fantastic (the owner is an experienced chef who worked in 5-star hotels for 20 years). We really enjoyed our stay at Serenity and if/when we come back to this part of the world, will eagerly stay here again. Highly recommend.

ItalyI am unable to say a bad word about this hotel at all. I can’t thank all the staff enough for making this an incredible holiday and one of the best we have had
If you’re looking for a private, luxurious villa surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place to spend your holiday. The property is super clean and well-maintained, with rooms that are better than most 5-star hotels.The Villa felt just right, very quiet when and if you wanted it to be The pool is kept to professional standards, which I really appreciated. It’s an amazing spot for a perfect getaway with plenty of nearby attractions like the Pettigala mountain hike and Victoria Reservoir viewpoint to explore. The service from the staff was exceptional, and honestly, there’s nothing to regret about our stay.A special Thank you to the chef Camo and Priyantha for making our stay unforgettable and for looking into every tiny little detail . Everyone was welcoming, attentive and made you feel home.

GermanyJust a minor thing (and the owner was very helpful with it): Paying by credit card was not possible for us - knowing that upfront would have been nice (maybe we did not read the fine print…)
Amazing little paradise. Very nice and helpful staff and the best place to have a few relaxing days. You habe to be mindful of the fact that it is quite a way to Kandy city center, but we loved the fact that after a day in and around the hectic city we could return to a refreshing and peaceful retreat.

United KingdomNothing of note.
We were the only guests during our short stay, and the attentiveness from the staff made it feel like our own private villa! It's not like a hotel, with a reception and separate dining room etc. Instead, its more like a luxury home with three guest bedrooms. The pool was the cleanest we've seen. And the Sri Lankan cooking was extremely good! The room was nice and clean too. The staff were always available and very helpful. The area is very quiet. We'd highly recommend!

AustraliaSerenity Villa Digana was an absolutely breathtaking place. If you are looking for a calm and quiet retreat, this is the ideal destination for your vacation. It was a fabulous experience. The villa is situated in a nice, quiet location near Victoria Reservoir. The staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cater to our needs at every step. The room was well-maintained, with all amenities available, and the breakfast was delicious and filling. I wish I could have extended my stay for a few more days. I will definitely come back on my next visit.

SwedenPlease note that the accommodation is NOT located where it claims to be according to the map (we booked via booking). We therefore felt honestly cheated in this regard. Otherwise, the accommodation was completely satisfactory.
Nice staff who did everything to make us feel comfortable

NetherlandsIt’s quite the travel to get there. Not a lot in the neighbourhood. Food is really expensive. It’s nice but you pay 3,5-4 times more than in other places/restaurants and it’s not better. We expected a little more for the amount of money. Staf is really nice, helpful and friendly but there is quite a language barrier.
Very nice and beautiful place. More expensive but everything works better than in cheaper places. Very nice hike up a beautiful mountain nearby. Pool and gym are great!
