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.).

United KingdomIt wasn’t the cleanest place we stayed in Sri Lanka and felt a bit dated. We perhaps expected a bit more in terms of room quality. The rooms didn’t feel particularly clean, but we did book them last minute, just a few minutes before our arrival in the evening.
We stayed for two nights in two rooms. The location is a bit of a walk from the centre, but it was fine for us. It’s in a quiet area, and the views were lovely—overlooking the trees and tea plantation. We had breakfast there, which was okay. It included fruits, rotties, eggs, bread, butter, jam, and tea/coffee, all served right in front of our rooms on the terrace. The hot shower in the bathroom was amazing—one of the best we've had during our stay.

NetherlandsThe lighting in the room was not that great. You need to go a bit further down the road to get Tuktuks. It is in the city center but a bit far away from the attractions like Nine Arches Bridge and Ella View Points. They took only cash LKR and the cost was a bit more than the initial USD calculation.
The view was very nice- we could see tea estates from the shared balcony. The breakfast was also very delicious. The location was great- almost at the city center. It is recommended to not walk from the train station if you luggage- it can be quite far/tiring with the heights. The owner helped us get a Tuktuk to get to the bus stop on the day of the departure.

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay in the tea view guest Ella!!! Great location only a short walk from the train station but close enough to town we could go for a mooch and access nine arch bridges and little Adam’s peak easily! Super secluded location with a gorgeous view from the shared balcony. The hosts were so so lovely and we had a fresh breakfast every morning. Very good for people traveling with friends!! Don’t be out off by what you see when you arrive, they are having some construction done on the top floor but it did not affect our stay at all/we didn’t hear any disruptions. Loved our stay here, highly recommend!

SwedenThe room and especially the toilet it's not very clean, I've been to other places in Sri Lanka on the same price range and they were more clean than this. Also there is a bit of smell for mould in the room. They accept only cash and when I made the payment the amount was a bit more than the price in usd show on booking.com
