Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomRoom was basic but had everything that you need for a few nights stay.
Sarat is an incredible host and went above and beyond when we stayed here and was very attentive! Really comfortable bed aswell. Location is fab just off the main road and easy access to restaurants and about 10 mins walk to viewing of lion rock! Was lovely to be surrounded by the jungle at night especially seeing the monkeys at breakfast. Has a lovely balcony area looking into the jungle too.

IndiaOur rooms could have been together. The three rooms we booked were not next to each other which is what we preferred but this is hardly a dent in the overall stay and experience.
We had an outstanding stay at Sigiri Rainbow Lodge, which we’d easily rate around 9 to 9.5 out of 10. 1. Unbeatable Location Just a short, picturesque walk from the entrance to Sigiriya Rock (around 1 km), this charming lodge puts you right in the heart of the action. Other key sites like the Sigiriya Museum and Pidurangala Rock are also within easy reach. 2. Spacious & Refreshingly Simple Rooms Our room was refreshingly spacious, clean, and comfortable—with a balcony or patio opening to quiet garden views. The simple décor includes essentials like a desk, a dining area, air conditioning, and thoughtful extras like mosquito nets and free toiletries. 3. Warm, Helpful Hosts The owner and staff were exceptionally friendly and eager to help. 4. Excellent Value & Breakfast We felt the pricing offered true value. They offered breakfast at 7:30 AM but as ours was a short stay and had other plans, we had to skip breakfast. 5. Pleasant Amenities & Atmosphere The property features a lovely garden, outdoor seating, and a calm ambiance—almost like staying in a jungle retreat. Despite feeling tucked away, it’s still very close to local attractions and dining options.

BelgiumSuper nice owner! The rooms are clean and decent (make sure you get the ones with AC though since not all of them have AC). When we arrived, no double room with AC was available so the owner gave us a family room instead for the same rate which was great. The breakfast was very good and copious!

CanadaWe understood that we were going to be staying at very basic accommodations, but the room we had looks nothing like the pictures. It really needs some paint touch ups and some bathroom improvements.
The location is perfect! You won't be disappointed if you order the breakfast. The price is great, as long as you keep in mind you get what you pay for. The owner is wonderful and really helpful, he will arrange different experiences for you, and give you lots of suggestions to fill your time.

United KingdomFantastic accommodation. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have good hot water and air conditioning. The breakfast was excellent with very generous portions. The owner is really friendly and helpful, with suggestions of what to do, and was happy to arrange tuktuks to the main sights etc. It's really close to the entrance of Sigiriya, and about 3-4km away from Piddurangula. It's pretty quiet, so not amazing if you're looking to meet people here, but ideal for a quiet solo trip or if you're a couple or a family. I also thought it was really good value - highly recommended!

United KingdomThe bathroom is pretty basic and could benefit from some “freshening up” and the bedroom would benefit from bedside tables and perhaps lamps.
The lodge is set away from the road so is relatively quiet but close to restaurants, shops and ATM. The room we had was a good size, basic but clean - and the en suite huge. The rooms have a lovely balcony overlooking the garden. The host was delightful, always ready to offer his help.

GermanyThere were many insects in the bathroom but to be fair Sigirya is in the Jungle. Maybe a Net or something in the window can fix that problem.
The Host and his wife were very friendly and had many good tips. The room in the first floor is basic but is fullfilling its purpose. Both of the rocks can be reached easily. The Host rented us his scooter for 1500 LKR.

The location is great, near restaurants and main attractions of Sigiriya. The place is safe and the owner was very kind. He came everyday to see us and made sure we got evertyhing we need. He helped us booking safari and it was cheaper than on internet. His driver was excellent. On check out day, we were supposed to take train. Due to strike, no train. He took 5 hrs of his time to drove us at the new destination. Thank you so much !!!!!

PolandIt wasn't a problem for me, but mentioning it in case it matters to someone: in the AC room there was no fan, so if you don't want to use AC, you don't have the alternative. But to be fair - I didn't ask for the fan, maybe I would get one if I did :) In the end the temperature in the room was good even without the fan, so the lack of it was not a problem.
Very nice place 3 minutes away from the Sigiriya center. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable and the owners are very nice. Very good value for such price.

New ZealandIt was handy that our room came with a mosquito net over the bed because we did need it. A few mosquitos got in the room which was annoying but probably standard for an “in the jungle” type stay. The breakfast was a bit average. Our friends room didn’t have a mosquito net but they did have aircon! Our room only had a fan which we were a bit disappointed with but it did the job for the most part.
For a stay “in the jungle” I thought it was really good. The location was great and our favourite restaurant (Liya) was just across the road. It was peaceful. Staff were very attentive and friendly.
