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.).

IndiaThe bed we had was too small. My partner, who is 6’3”, could not fit and had to sleep at an angle to fit.
The property is right by a stream in the middle of trees and a small stream flowing by. Relaxing atmosphere, nice hosts.

ItalyThe only thing is if there is a lot of humidity, staying in the tree house wasn’t the best because doesn’t have AC but only a fan so it was quite hot but manageable at the end
The owners are super friendly and very helpful. The tree house is super cute and it was a wonderful experience

TurkeyThe most important thing for us is cleanliness, and this hotel exceeded our expectations—it was spotless. The staff’s behavior was also exceptional—everyone was kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. The location is perfect: right by the river and within walking distance to all the main attractions in Sigiriya. If we ever come back to Sigiriya, we won’t even consider staying anywhere else—this will be our first choice. A special thank you to Mali—she is the best! So friendly and incredibly helpful. Highly recommended!

United KingdomWe had the most magical time at Sigariya River Side Villa! Such a unique experience staying in the tree house & being close to nature. Really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock with the sounds of the river. Good location: 5 minute walk to restraunts and 20 minute walk to larger shops & ATM. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! The owner was a fantastic host and helped us arrange a number of activities. Not a criticism as they didn't bother us, but there are a number of small frogs who like to hang out in the bathroom!

ItalyStaying in this treehouse was such a magical experience! It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature. Falling asleep to the gentle sounds of the forest was incredibly soothing — I haven’t slept that well in ages. The hammock was a personal favorite – perfect for lounging, reading, or just relaxing and soaking in the calm atmosphere. It's the kind of place that makes you slow down and truly unwind. The room itself is simple but has everything you need. It’s cozy, clean, and thoughtfully set up. Nothing fancy, but that’s part of its charm – it feels authentic and grounded. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and a lovely way to start each day. Fresh, tasty, and prepared with care. For the price, this place is a fantastic value. It offers something truly special — a unique stay surrounded by nature, comfort in simplicity, and real relaxation. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway without breaking the bank.
