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.).

ItalyPerfect location on the lake away from hectic kandy city center (only 10 minutes by tuk tuk which the host arranged for us at a very good price) we saw many exotic birds and monkeys. The room is very clean and has all necessities. We did the cooking class on site which was exceptional. The food was AMAIZING. Breakfast (more like brunch- there was quote a lot of food) consisted of traditional food that was prepared in front of you.

GermanyNothing to complain 😃
A wonderful room with a balcony and riverview. The owner couple are lovely people, who try to serve all your needs. We stayed two nights and can fully recommend the place. On the second day we had a cooking class, where could choose what we’ll cook and even went shopping with the owner first. By the time we returned his wife had everything set up and it took about 90 minutes to prepare 4 vegetarian curry’s, fish curry and one salad. And of course you’ll get your share to help preparing.

The breakfast was also really good, fresh fruit, different types of bread, and served at this fantastic terrace directly at the river.The location at the river was very good, near to Kandy, but quiet and peaceful….

The option to spend your evening outside on the rooftop is a plus. In the morning a very tasty and extensive breakfast is served there as well.

NetherlandsOur stay here was amazing manly because of the great hostess. She was so welcoming and made us feel at home. The diners and breakfast were a feast and the cooking demonstration taught us a lot about the Sri Lankan cuisine. Spacious and clean room, balcony with river views and easy 5/10 minute drive to the city. We were sad to leave and would definitely return when in Kandy!

Chaminrich Homestay is set in a pretty and peaceful area of Kandy around a 10 minutes tuk tuk drive from the city centre. It's located in such a lovely spot right by the river and is a suburb we would never have discovered if we hadn’t been staying there. The family were so genuine, friendly and welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful in terms of finding us an adapter and taxis etc. The room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the river and the breakfast was great! We had breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the river each morning which was such a nice way to start the day. Thank you again for such a wonderful stay 🙏🏼

Everything about this homestay was fantastic. The room was clean and very spacious and the situation of the property on the banks of the river was great. We had breakfast and dinner each day and both were superb as were the hosts who were so friendly and helpful. We would recommend Chaminrich to anyone wishing to stay near Kandy without being near the hustle and bustle of the centre. Thank you for a brilliant stay.
