How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA lovely homestay perfect for families. Very friendly hosts. Opportunity to make cooking class. Help with organizing everything and with every problem we had. Also very good for just relaxing in the garden. The location is perfect for a relaxing stay not too far away from the main attractions and the busy main road if needed. Very nice breakfast and dinner as an option, which we took every day.

Verified reviewOur favourite Homestay during our trip. We felt like part of the family as soon as we arrived. It was like having your own Grandma looking after you bringing cinnamon tea and biscuits after a long walk. We ate dinner here every night as the food was so good and cheap. We did the cookery class too which was a highlight our stay and my daughter is now working her way through the Wish Prabha cookbook. Clean room, no mosquito bites at all. I love how they grow everything and it’s all organic, something they pride themselves on. A bit out of the way but this only added to the experience listening to all the animals and insects about. Perfect. We miss you already.

Verified reviewLovely homestay closeby the lake. Kumara and his family are fantastic hosts and make sure you're well fed (the delicious food is all organic with produce from their own farm). Room is spacious and clean.
Loved the tranquil location close to the lake and a bit away from the main road, but it makes be a bit hard to reach at nighttime.

Verified reviewThe natural setting of this home besides a lake and a farm. This family's hospitality is truly good. They care about the food they serve. Its very much felt like home. Kids enjoyed playing bunnies and the dogs. They look like stray dogs but they're taken care by homeowners. Water from tap is potable and we enjoyed the natural occurring water.
This isn't a con given if you enjoy the setting of the home. The path is unpaved and wasn't easily visible. One has to walk 50meters or so to find the home.
thank you very much for everything blessing of the buddha 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤

Verified reviewThis is the best homestay we’ve done. A lovely family who went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel safe and comfortable. They prepared us the best food we had in Sri Lanka: tasty curries, roti and more with all the ingredients coming fresh from their organic farm. Kumara gave us a brilliant tour of the farm, as well as all the best things to see in the area. He even took us to our next destination, and arranged pickup from the airport. It’s also right next to a nice lake. Definitely stay here!
Nothing: the whole experience was brilliant

Verified reviewExtraordinary place with wonderful hosts. For guests who are interested in nature and organic farming, also vegan or vegetarian food this is paradise. We had a wonderful time ate delicious home cooked food from fresh farm vegetable, and were invited to experience real Sri Lanka family life. There are cooking classes, the host has a tuktuk he took us to Polunaruwa,and to Pidurangala rock at a fair price.
It is near one of the lakes reachable only by tuktuk ( not by car) . 20 min.walking to Sigiriya which was nice for us . There is no sign for the homestay so it is best to call the host then you will be picked up from Sigiriya. That's the easiest way to reach there.
Thank you very much 🙏 ❤ 🙏 ❤
