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.).

SpainAlthough the location is lovely and surrounded by forest, just keep in mind that it can be quite dark if you walk there at night. The bathroom could be a little more cleaner.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is great, close to the main attractions and just a short walk from the stunning views of Lion Rock. Local breakfast was delicious, with generous portions that will definitely keep you full!

ItalySince the place is located in the forest, insects are expected. If you stay for more than one night we suggest to accept the room cleaning, which was offered us. We thought it was not necessary, but it was indeed.
Owners and staff are fantastic and strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible. As an example, they brought us at 4.45 AM to Lion’s Rock. Breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka. The location is in the forest but still close to restaurants of Sigiriya (approximately 10 mins walking) and main attractions (eg, Lion’s Rock). They also organized a Safari at Minneriya Park for us. The cost-quality ratio was far beyond expectations!

There was so much food , me and my husband really struggled to finish it and we are big eaters. The whole setting is really authentic and magical. You get a great view of the lion rock two minutes walk away .

NetherlandsBathroom could be better. Access to the property too dark in the evening.
The property is 10 minutes walking from the Main Street and access to the Sigiriya rock. Despite this,it is really quiet and private. Owners are extremely kind. We booked a safari directly with them and it has been the best experience possible! Also..free of charge the owner dropped us by the Pidurangala Rock at 4.45 for our early climb.

Czech RepublicWe were so sad to leave this vibrant place. The owner was the sweetest guy who helped us in so many ways. He arranged the safari visit for us and even woke up at 4:30 AM so that he could drive us to the Pidurangala site. Also if we had any trips around he would always managed to get us the best price of tuktuk and other things. He just made our short stay really comfortable and much more enjoyable. You should definitely visit his place.

PortugalI loved everything, totally recommend this place!
Mr Pryiantha was the best host I've ever met! He helped us with everything, we arrived with very few plans and he advised us on what to do and with whom for all the days we were there. His wife is also a very sweet lady that prepared every day the biggest breakfast we had in Sri Lanka! The rooms were good and there was hot water and good wifi. Very clean. The location is great, you can walk to restaurants, to the village and to a great place to see the sunset. We also did the safari with a driver recommended by Mr Pryiantha that was amazing, we saw more than 50 elephants. Thank you so much for treating us so well!

United StatesThe accommodation is located a short distance into the forest and is very peaceful and green with many beautiful plants and some cute dogs. The rooms are nothing fancy but have everything you need, plus a nice terrace to sit outside in the evening and read a book or listen to nature. The hosts are extremely kind and helpful. They organised a trip to Polonaruva and a safari for us and advised us on the best value for money. Our stay overlapped with a major Buddhist holiday and they were so kind to invite us to the festival at the temple and let us participate in the activities. When we left, we left a tip and the owner said he gives half of it to making food for the stray dogs - a plus if you’re an animal lover. Overall, would highly recommend!
