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.).

LithuaniaThe only thing we didn’t like was breakfast. Compared to other places it was poor and ruins the whole experience of staying in this lovely place. The concept of bread topped with scrambled egg must be changed. Bread gets wet and disgusting from the egg. The whole dish was tasteless. If it will be upgraded, this place will be 10/10.
Absolutely great location with the best view of Kandy! Breathtaking views to watch a sunset and count stars at night! Beautiful room with everything you need! Comfortable beds. Great and very polite staff! Everything was just perfect!

GermanyWifi was not working at all, the hotel overall could use some refurbishment and updating
Upgrading to the king suite is well worth it. The room is super spacious and pretty, and you can have breakfast and watch the sunset from the private balcony. We enjoyed being outside of Kandy in a calmer area, taking tuktuks to and from the hotel was cheap and no issue at all. Staff was very friendly

United KingdomThe hotel is not walkable to any of the Kandy attractions but getting a tuktuk was easy enough either on pick me app ourselves or asking the very helpful staff to arrange. And as said this is also a bonus at night for a peaceful sleep and was very easy to grab a tuktuk from Kandy back to the hotel
Very Spacious room (king suite on top floor) With a very comfortable bed and air con, kettle with tea/coffee etc, bottles of water provided, large tv with satellite channels and WiFi. 2 private balcony’s to the room with beautiful views of Kandy. Staff were brilliant and very helpful - wouldn’t let us attempt to carry our bags up the (many!) stairs as did for us and offered us another room to use to freshen up etc as we arrived very early so our room wasn’t ready (which we didn’t expect it to be). We had breakfast and dinner here both served on our balcony which were lovely and menus available to order from. As a little outside of Kandy itself the hotel is very quiet which was a bonus at night and especially for us arriving there after a long flight. of course you hear the wildlife but thats unavoidable and better than traffic noise u would get if stayed in the town itself. Great stay for the price!

We booked the suite which had a balcony and an amazing view over the city! Totally recommended! It’s a bit away of the city but that gets you a quiet room. Also, they serve amazing food on your private terrace (!), no need to go anywhere. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would come again.

United KingdomLiked everything.
Beautiful grandl hotel situated high in the mountains overlooking Kandy City. The hotel exudes charm and character on every floor. I had the extremely spacious deluxe suite located just outside the main building. A beautiful palatial room, huge bathroom with walk-in shower. Large patio doors leading to a balcony overlooking the garden with breathtaking scenic city and mountain views . There was also a sofa and large smart TV , so i was able to listen to music via YouTube. The bed was super comfortable. I can honestly say I had the most relaxing sleep in the 3 nights I stayed there. The hotel staff were amazing, attentive professional and super friendly. From the time we arrived, they were welcoming friendly and very hospitable. Service was always with a smile. (You can contact them anytime via WhatsApp) A standard but well presented breakfast is included in the room rate. Eating on the balcony, watching monkeys nesrby was a unique experience. They have an onsite restaurant. I recommend the delicious and very generously portioned devilled fish and rice. The room was very clean. No mosquitoes, but being amidst nature, expect small ants around. Also, small geckos as you walk up the outside staircase to the room. Overall, i really enjoyed my relaxing stay at Ceylon Breeze. Situated up a steep road, it is perfect for a truly quiet, relaxing stay. The staff are a credit, we couldn't ask for more. The price is extremely reasonable for what is offered.I was also able to avail of their laundry service for a reasonable fee.. 100% recommended

United KingdomNothing to dislike - apart from No TuK Tuk service attached directly to hotel. Not really a problem as you can use PickMe or get the WhatsApp of any friendly driver you use to get to hotel. Getting a tuk tuk from Kandy City to hotel was easy enough you may need to provide a little direction at the top of the hill.
Beautiful quiet hotel set up in the mountains in a grand old mansion with huge lobby and sweeping staircases that gave a wow factor when first stepped in. The hotel staff are very friendly, hospitable and helpful. You can contact them anytime via WhatsApp’s. The hotel staff were always smiling and felt genuinely welcomed every time you were in contact with them from booking to check out. Had a large bright middle room upstairs which also had a large balcony with absolutely stunning views over Kandy and mountains. I sat out at night and in the morning. Room was spacious and comfortable with a seating area tv (that worked) WiFi (that worked) and fridge. Shower room was a decent size and water was very hot. A sufficient Breakfast was included, they also have a restaurant room service so you can order dinner which we did on our first night (the devilled fish was good)

Almost everything at the stay was perfect. I booked king suit and it has enough space for my 2 kids to enjoy. Bathroom is also spacious. The view from the outside is breathtaking. Staff was good. Channa helped us alot. Food also quite nice and the portions are also great. I'll definitely recommend this place for families.

United KingdomA flight of stairs up to reception, followed by another 3 up to the top floor, not ideal but it was worth it. No alcohol was served when I stayed and a chilled beer enjoying the view would have been nice, but not a deal breaker.
What a beautiful place!!! It’s out of the way but that’s how you get the great views of Kandy… I stayed in the king size suite, and it’s simply stunning. Exactly as pictured online with a large bed, kettle, tea / coffee, water, refrigerator, a/c, fan and tv. The equally large washroom has toiletries and a hair dryer. The room came with its own router so wifi was never an issue. Great views from the balcony that ran the length of the room and I was blessed with the greatest sunset while staying. I had dinner and breakfast here and the dishes I tried were very tasty and beautifully presented. I’ve already rebooked to return.
