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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

South KoreaThis place is located up on the mountain. So it's kinda tiring when you walk up. You can't really get a tuktuk right in the city center. Also, wifi didn't work at night for some reason. In the morning, it was all fine though.
The owner's very friendly and kind. Good price, and we love the atmosphere up there. Kandy City Center was really crowded, and air quality was so bad, but once you come up to this place, you can feel the clean air and nice breeze.

The best room we stayed during our trip in Sri Lanka. Awesome family, welcomed us with great hospitality. Helped arranged tuk tuk to the bus station, explained best way to get to Ella. Our room had an awesome view. It was very spacious, more like an apartment than a room. 100% recommending to those who plan to stay in Kandy.

We had a delicious varied breakfast every morning and had tea and biscuits with the family when we arrived and had a great chat with them. Their English was perfect and warm welcome. The rooms were clean and spacious and comfortable but the best thing was how light they were, with lovely balconies and views. Wish everywhere could be like this.

Such warm and welcoming place to stay in a terrific location for Kandy and easy walking distance (downhill) to the train station. Even though we only stayed one night we were made to feel truly welcome and I would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was lovely and there is a nice outside patio. Thank you to the lovely hosts who accepted our booking at the last minute and allowed us to use the washing line when all our clothes were wet from hiking.

ItalyThe hosts were extremely friendly and helpful! They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The beds are comfy and the breakfast was yummy. It is located a bit outside of Kandy (15 min walk but steep uphill) but tuktuks come and go there easily. This way it is quite and peaceful at night.

United KingdomI had a really amazing stay - and just wish I had had more nights! It’s a beautiful property, and my room had a balcony with lovely view across the hills towards the city. Rasika was in communication via WhatsApp about my arrival and kindly even offered to help me get a tuk tuk. During my stay Dilini was so welcoming, and gave me recommendations for food/ sites/ where to go for a walk. I can also definitely recommend the location - the views are beautiful, its only a short walk to the city centre, and if you have time you can go on a walk up into the hills too. Would love to come again
