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.).

Sri LankaThe road to get there is pretty rough. It's bumpy and not well-maintained, so the ride in can be uncomfortable. If you're bringing a lot of luggage or it's raining, it might be a bit of a hassle getting there. But the biggest problem was mosquitoes. There were so many in our room! They really bothered us, especially at night. Definitely bring a mosquito killer or some good repellent. Trust me on this one - you'll need it.
The best part was definitely the caretaker. This guy was amazing - super helpful, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. He really made us feel welcome and took great care of us during our stay. The location is perfect if you want peace and quiet. It's in such a calm area away from all the noise and traffic. Perfect for relaxing after walking around the ancient sites all day. The whole place just feels so peaceful. The rooms are really big too. We had plenty of space to move around and put all our stuff. After being cramped in small hotel rooms elsewhere, this was such a nice change.

Sri LankaAC is old therefore making a noise throughout the night. It needs replacement. Closet is clean but needs hangers, One bed is exceptionally good while the second bed's metress needs replacement. The toilet needs the toilet paper roll and soap. The overall facility is in very good shape but needs some improvement and maintenance.
Room Space, very clean, sink. And a separate bathing area with hot water supply. The place is secure as the parking area is covered by fence and locking in the night. A quiet place in the vicinity of Thisawewa.

AustraliaThe translucent curtains let in quite a bit of light, which can be bothersome if you're sensitive to brightness while sleeping. Additionally, there was no option to adjust the air conditioner settings or control the speed of the ceiling fan, as both seemed to be preset. As a result, it took a while for the room to cool down—particularly noticeable on hotter days.
Located just off the peaceful banks of Tissa Wewa, this family-friendly property offers the perfect blend of nature and comfort. You can enjoy a relaxing walk along the lakeside path, with beautiful views of up to five stupas shimmering across the water—an experience both kids and adults will find memorable. There's also a nearby bathing spot, great for a fun splash on warm days. The property is clean, well maintained, and met our expectations. The spacious rooms gave us plenty of space to relax as a family, and having the toilet and bathroom separate was especially convenient with little ones. The staff were warm and welcoming, always quick to help with anything we needed, making our stay smooth and stress-free.

CanadaThere were not enough blankets. The food was basic.
The hotel was small and in a garden and close to a lake with a long distance view of the pagodas. It was a bit difficult to access which kept it quite private. It was a lovely walk along the lake to some of the ancient sites.. the staff was friendly and helpful.

United KingdomLocation might not suit everyone. You need transport to get to the sacred city. Also no nearby restaurants but that was not a problem as the owner cooked lovely food at a very fair price.
Location by the lake was lovely. You can't see it from the hotel but it's only a few steps away. Also we hired the bikes and cycled into the sacred city easily by the lake side.

AustraliaThe road leading up to the hotel, in particular a point where a 5 m stretch had a very uneven surface was a nuisance. Must say this was not the resort management's fault but the local authorities.
The location with the awesome Tissawewa which has magnificent dagoba's in the background horizon was a majestic sight. Being close to all the major historical attractions was so convenient. At the resort itself it was the service provided which was so good.
