Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaA very cozy place with clean rooms and bathrooms. Though minimalistic, the facilities were good for a leisure stay. The dinner and breakfast we had were very tasty and filling. The owner family who manage the facility are very friendly and always ready to provide more. Our package was inclusive of only breakfast. However, they provided dinner but were not willing to take money for the same and we had to force them to accept some amount. Madara who manages the whole facility speaks English and is an excellent host. Due to trees all around, expect some mosquitoes and be prepared. Clean towels were provided but you need to carry your soap and shampoo which we do whenever we travel. Overall a great experience and would surely recommend to family and friends.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful homestay! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warm and humble family. The father, a talented carpenter, has crafted all the furniture by hand, and the house feels like a true labor of love. The mother and two daughters were incredibly friendly and made us the most amazing meals every day. This place is perfect for anyone looking to stay a bit away from the more touristy areas around Sigiriya, surrounded by nature and tranquility. Staying here also means supporting a truly awesome family and their dreams. We couldn’t recommend it more! We miss you already! Katarina and Mateja

United KingdomA little bit out of the centre of town, but easily walkable or the hosts are happy to organise tuktuks.
The room was lovely and clean and spacious, with air con and a nice bathroom. The hosts were very friendly and happy to organise tuktuks and bikes for us, even getting us a tuktuk at 5am for going up Pidurangala Rock at sunrise. They cooked us a delicious breakfast and were able to provide dinner one night as well for a small extra fee. 10/10 would highly recommend this lovely family homestay.

BelgiumA truly unforgettable homestay experience! Madara and her family are incredibly warm and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a refreshing drink and felt right at home. The room was cozy and comfortable, and there was always hot water. The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly throughout our stay. Breakfast was always a treat: abundant, varied, and satisfying, with plenty of delicious options to choose from. Madara’s mother is an amazing cook, and we were lucky to enjoy some of her home-cooked meals. What really stood out was how much effort the family put into making sure we had the best experience. They helped us rent bikes, recommended great local spots to eat, and even gave us a lift to the bus stop when it was time to leave. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a warm, authentic, and hassle-free experience.

GermanyReview for Hotel Woodholic in Sigiriya: 9/10 Hotel Woodholic is a true gem in Sigiriya! The standout feature is the exceptional hospitality of the owners – they go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. The cleanliness throughout the hotel is impeccable, which makes the experience even more pleasant. The breakfast was an absolute highlight: fresh, plentiful, and absolutely delicious – the perfect way to start the day. The value for money is outstanding, making Woodholic a fantastic choice for travelers seeking comfort and quality at an affordable price. The only minor drawback was a slightly musty smell in our room. However, this had little impact on the overall experience, as everything else was simply perfect. We highly recommend Hotel Woodholic and would love to return!

As soon as I arrived there was a technical issue in my room and as it needed time to be fixed, I was given the other room available (the family room) which was spacious and comfortable and glad that it had A/C too! The area is very quiet and the family is welcoming and friendly. Breakfast and food in general were delicious and of generous portions!
