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 reviewLocation was great - off the Main Street so not noisy at all! The hosts were very lovely! Breakfast was cheap and came with a variety of nice food. Rooms had all basics needs and it was a nice area at the hotel. Our host organised an outing to see the Slender Loris for us at the national park - night trek. It was worth while, we saw four in total and two very well.

Verified reviewSigiri lodge has a great location. It is a little set back from the busy street and is within walking distance of the Sigiriya Lion Rock entrance. There are many restaurants to choose from within a very short walk. Ajith was proactive in making WhatsApp contact beforehand to facilitate room allocations and other arrangements.
A request was made 1 day before our arrival to alter our booking.

Verified reviewThe property is really very nice. The hosts were incredible. They helped me organize my stay in Sigirya: like the sunset on Pidurangala Rock and the Safari. Really very nice. The property is just a 10-minute walk from Lion's Rock Entrande and on the main street with all the little restaurants. I highly recommend it!

Verified reviewReally lovely staff who looked out for you, look after you, and made you feel very welcome. Brilliant breakfast with plenty of it to set you up for the day. Walkable to main sites (only during the day). Be very careful of elephants in the dark, saw one literally over the road one night!

Verified review**The owners or managers were very warm and welcoming, allowing us to gain entry to our room well before the checkin time. We mentioned wanting a massage, and they found a place for us. It was a tuk-tuk ride away, and he took us himself, then returned to pick us up. So helpful! He didn't even charge us for it, although we paid him anyway. **Breakfast was delicious.
**The A/C turned off every hour or so, through the night. I'm not sure if it was broken or a function of the unit -- I know that A/C can be very expensive. The price was very low, so it wasn't a huge issue.
