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.).

GermanyThis was one of the best locations on our trip. We got perfect tips and the even organized transportation to just about everywhere we wanted to got - even at 5 a.m. in the morning. They went far beyond giving us even a lift by themselves. They got us an extremely good deal for a safari - that started with one day notice. The best part however was, that they were able to organize train tickets - for the famous Newari-Ellia to Ella part. Without their help we would have missed that higlight. THANKS A LOT AGAIN!!! Oh, an the location itself is just beautiful. You do not expect that when you walk up the raw concrete stairs, but the view and the feeling for breakfast is just breathtaking.

All members of staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. The owner in particular was very considerate and helped us with everything we needed - including booking TukTuks, and giving us some snacks to have before an early start. Breakfast - large and delicious. Room was large and clean. Location - easy walk into the village, and walking distance to Lion Rock (though you can take a TukTuk)

DenmarkDuring our stay, Rumesh's kindness stood out. He not only offered valuable advice on must-see attractions in Sri Lanka but also accommodated our varying breakfast preferences with flexibility on meal times. Additionally, we were warmly welcomed with refreshing fresh lime juice, adding a delightful touch to our experience. Thank you Rumesh!

FranceThe only thing to improve would be to put a squeegee broom in the bathroom to get out water and dry the room faster.
Our best guest house in Sri Lanka. Very welcoming and smiling hosts. The room was really nice for the price. Breakfast was pretty good (especially the sri lankan one and their pancake), and a very nice kotthu for the evening ! Highly recommend them !!

MoldovaHot water pressure was weak in our room, but the got to used to this in Sri Lanka and it didn't affect our stay.
We enjoyed the location of the hotel. It is not far from the road with restaurants and shops but still is very quiet at night. The breakfast was the most traditional we had have in our trip. The owner gladly is explaining you about the meals he is serving and not only about this. If you start your trip from Sigiriya, I can recommend you to ask the owner about some trips he can arrange. The access road is very easy and the hotel have the possibility to park 3-4 cars.

United KingdomA Paridise for all things nature - birds, trees, wildlife and stars, Rumesh’s collection of plants are wonderful and his passion for all things living is enduring and a refreshing change from most business owners! An afternoon/evening spent on the roof top with tea (so many to choose from!) and/or a few beers plus a meal before star gazing is truly magical, with Rumesh’s attentiveness and knowledge and the unspoilt view it will be a memory we will both cherish. Rumesh is happy to help you with all arrangements - kindly arranging a tuk tuk tour including the Dambella cave temple, a stop at a fruit market and a lake (the name escapes me) this was a perfect mid morning outing after Lion Rock. Rumesh is truly the selling point of this place, he has so much love for the environment and his plans make us very excited for what’s to come. For now the room is basic but equipped with all you need, the bed was super comfortable (we slept for 9 hours on our 2nd night!) both a working AC and fan - something we don’t often get here. Being a small place tucked away it promises a peaceful night! Less than a 25 minute walk to the Lion rock ticket office (we strongly recommend getting there for opening!) 10 minutes walk to a cluster of restaurants, tuk tuks and a bus stop. We originally only booked for one night but thanks to the location and Rumesh’s words “this is your home” we stayed for 2. We wish Hotel Bird Paradise every success and want to thank Rumesh for making us feel so welcome, we hope it won’t be too long until we are back again!

FranceVery nice and peaceful place in the middle of the forest in Sigirya. You can enjoy the sound of the birds all day long. We loved our breakfasts and dinners on the roof of the rooms with a lovely view. Ramish was very helpful in giving us tips for our two days in Sigirya. I recommend this place for a short stay in Sigirya.

United KingdomI loved everything; I know that Rumesh is working hard towards a dream of creating beautiful accommodation for visitors. The best way he can achieve this is if people choose to stay here and help him build his dream.
This was much more than great accommodation, the host Rumesh is such a kind person and went out of his way to make my stay a great experience. He is very attentive and knowledgeable and really cares that his guests enjoy their stay in Sigiriya. The accommodation is located in a quiet and tranquil setting, it can be a little hard to find as it’s surrounded by wildlife and nature but once you’re there is a blessing. Birds singing in the trees at breakfast, I sat and enjoyed a lovely breakfast of fresh fruit, pancakes and coffee in the garden with the dappled sunlight through the trees. There was a monkey and a giant squirrel peacefully eating their breakfast together in the trees nearby too, which was so nice to watch. The stars at night were the most I have ever seen from the rooftop of the accommodation, I could have stargazed for hours. The room was really clean and refreshing, the bedding was very comfy and the air conditioning worked great.
