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 KingdomIsuru and family were very welcoming and helpful, helping us to arrange transportation in and out of Sigiriya and activities while we were there. They even dropped us at Lion's Rock at 5am so that we could climb up for sunrise. The room was comfortable and air conditioning in the room was appreciated! There were plenty of small restaurants serving very tasty Sri Lankan food within walking distance.

I had a wonderful stay at Thuruliya residence! The family is so kind and welcoming, rooms are big and extrememy clean, with AC. It is located in a calm place at a walking distance to the lion rock and many good restaurants and cafés around. The owner is very helpful and helped me organize the rest of my trip in Sri Lanka and gave me tips. They also offer tours and I did one for Polonnaruwa. Last but not least breakfast is so delicious and very filling! I highly recommend this place!

United KingdomNothing. I was sad to leave
Fabulous homestay in good location down quiet side road. Peaceful rural feel surrounded by greenery. There are 2 groundfloor units - mine had two bedrooms and large bathroom. Everything very clean. Excellent very effective air conditioning and a ceiling fan made for a cool night sleep. Reliable hot shower as well as a cold one. Pleasant verandah to sit out on with table and chairs. A very good breakfast which varied each day was served on the verandah with tea and coffee. The family were very welcoming and helpful. WiFi was good. A superb restaurant up the street on the left near where it joins the main road. You will recognise it by the large numbers of customers that eat there

RomaniaI had bad luck of few days of rainy weather, couldn't see much around. Maybe next time. The internet was weak, they installed a new router but it was not plugged in at that time. However, 4G was decent there.
Nice and honest family. Usually Sri lankan people will try to overcharge you as a tourist. But they were honest. Appreciate it. The young man has a tuk tuk and a jeep for safaris. His mother cooks good food. The house is clean. Recommend it.

United KingdomEverything was perfect!
This is a great place to stay. Wonderful family who are friendly and helpful hosts. The patio is a great place to hang out and meet other guests. The breakfast is one of the best I have had and the dinners were outstanding. We asked to watch the dinner being cooked and Ganga translated the spices into English for us and showed us how to use the coconut shredder. I really felt at home. The rooms are clean and spacious. The short walk to the lake is beautiful with a view of Lions Rick reflected in the lake - this was Mt favourite viewpoint. I can't recommend this place enough!
