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.).

BrazilDuring my stay in Sri Lanka, I was lucky to stay with many wonderful families, but this one definitely touched me in a special way. The room was clean and spacious, and while the location is a bit far from Sigiriya and Pidurangala, the family rented me a motorbike that was in the best condition of all the ones I rented in Sri Lanka. If you don’t want to rent a motorbike, they also provide tuk-tuk services. The hostess always served us tea or coffee with snacks in the afternoon and prepared the best curry I had in Sri Lanka. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. All of this would already be enough to give the stay a 10/10, but the best part was the conversations I had with the two hostesses. They are so sweet and shared a bit about their customs and what it’s like to live in Sri Lanka, both in the past and present. They were also very curious about my culture and family, and it was wonderful to exchange stories with them! Even with the language barrier, we understood each other perfectly. Thank you for all the care and kindness!

JapanUnfortunately, the room we were given had no windows or ventilation, and the strong chemical fragrance from the air freshener was overwhelming, causing us to cough non-stop. Despite paying the equivalent of a one-night stay at a 4-star hotel for two nights, we had to leave after the first night and move to another hotel we arranged at the last minute. It was truly disappointing that, despite being in such a wonderful natural environment, we couldn’t enjoy the fresh scents of the surrounding trees and plants. The coughing continued for several days afterward. Additionally, the room's size was not 258 square meters as advertised but actually 25.8 square meters. The shower only provided cold water.
The host family was very kind and welcomed us with warm tea. The accommodation is surrounded by nature, with a beautiful garden and adorable children. Everyone was extremely friendly and full of hospitality. Although I couldn’t finish the breakfast due to my gluten allergy, the grandmother kindly made pancakes for us, and I was grateful for the thoughtfulness. Despite the challenges, they helped us arrange an early morning jeep tour to see elephants and assisted with entry to Sigiriya Rock, even on short notice.

The lady that manages the homestay is a great cook, we ate very good food. Enjoyed the dinner and breakfast every night. She also helped us plan and discover Sirigiya. I would recommend everyone to stay here, as you’ll feel the warmth and love like at home. We would definitely go back there!

GermanyNot something that has to be a downside but the "tours" offered were a bit expensive (e.g. 2500 for Tuktuk ride from and to Sigurya / Pidurangala Rock in the morning / evening). I guess it's the drivers price and not the hosts but if you want to save money you can organize your own ride for almost half
Friendly host but communication in English was rather difficult Big room with mosquito net and fan, no AC Big bathroom with hot shower option Quiet location, but a bit off further away from the rocks Amazing (spicy!) restaurant close (Ishy/Kaluwara Restaurant)

GermanyThe location is beautiful but a bit off the bigger roads and outside of town. We recommend staying there if you travel by your own vehicle
The family who is running this place is really nice. They were always checking on us, sitting down for a chat or game and offered us free tea multiple times. Since our son is a picky eater they even changed the breakfast according to his wishes. We really enjoyed staying there and getting to know them. We felt very welcome :)

Moreover, you will have fresh fruit at breakfast and you will have there also other traditional Sri Lanka meal. The room was very big and we had everything, what we need. It is also in good locality. You have it very close to Lion Rock, Pidurangala Rock. Less than 5 minutes by car. We really recommend this acommodation.
