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.).

PolandI cannot find any disadvantages.
Wonderful place where you can rest and enjoy nature. Huts are built and hosted by two brothers, who give much attention and care to their guests. During the 3 hours blackout (due to government regulations) host apologized us 3 times, although it was not his fault. He stayed with us so that we feel comfortable and provided candles, torches and agregate. Traditional Sri Lankan breakfast is served on a terrace with Sigirya Rock viewpoint. In the moring you are woken up by singing birds. To sum up: Our best accomodation during 2 week vacation in Sri Lanka!

United KingdomThe restaurant was closed which is understandable as there is a national shortage of cooking gas and many places are closed as a result of this, i do understand however, i would have appreciated being told this in advance as i had not planned to eat in the town on the first evening due to the fabulous setting of these huts.
We loved the large room, the view was breathtaking and the area was really lovely with a small wood carver shop at the end of the road. The breakfast was really good as well.

United KingdomI mean there's not much to dislike, be aware that you can hear nature in all it's glory throughout the night so bring earplugs if a light sleeper but didn't bother us, it actually added to the experience
The location and the view from the cabanas are amazing. You feel miles from anyone but yet you're walking distance to Sigiriyi. The room felt like we was in a rustic tree house but with the built in mozzie nets all around it was a lot less buggy than we imagined 😍 We ate dinner here one evening and it was the best curry we have had so far in Sri Lanka (been here 1 month) and the owner is so friendly & wonderful! He helped us arrange the elephant safari for far less than the "tourist prices" you get elsewhere and the experience was incredible. A really lovely place surrounded by nature, we would gladly go back anytime. Don't delay and book here, you won't regret it it's been one of the highlights of our trip.

GermanyNothing. We initially booked just one night, but extended by a second night - best decision.
Rustic chalets in the middle of some fields with a great view of Sigiriya rock from the balcony. Comfortable beds. Lots of amazing jungle noise around you during night time (might even see an elephant roam around!). Very good breakfast. Extremely friendly and helpful owner - we left some clothes in our chalet when we left, and he packed them up and sent them to another hotel on our trip free of charge! We arrived late with some take-away food, and the owner provided us with plates and cutlery. He also organized good drivers for both local trips as well as our onward journey.

NetherlandsIt's just a bit at the end of the road, but therefore it's quiet end you have a nice view. So no problem!
The room is beyond amazing. It's spacious, has everything you need and it's made with insectfence so you can enjoy a fresh breeze without bugs and mosquito's. The view over the fields with crops is amazing. The host is really polite and happy to help you in any way you can. The fruit at breakfast is out of there own garden. It's most definitely worth it!!!

EstoniaNot much really. The only mention would be the lack of water pressure, but that's an issue throughout the entire island really. Not just this place.
This place really lives up to its name and lived up to all our expectations. Comfy beds, cozy lighting, amazing little balcony and decent amenities. The staff is very friendly and the food was great (especially the Sri Lankan omelet). Excellent place, would recommend to anyone visiting Sigiriya!

Switzerlandeverything was fantastic - nothing negative to say. just be prepared it gets cold in the night
The hosts are incredibly friendly. What started as a long time dream has turned into a reality, and this magical oasis sits on the back end of the family property. The mother cooks breakfast (and dinner if you want), so if you want incredible Sri Lankan food - stay here! from the balcony, we had this INCREDIBLE view of Sigirya Rock. The Hut was clean, comfortable, and had lots of hot water… it felt like we were in paradise in the middle of the jungle. wifi was surprisingly fast for being in a small village. village of Sigirya is a short tuk tuk ride away and is nice to walk through during the day.

What a beautiful hidden gem in Sigiriya! We loved every minute of our stay here and would definitely recommend it. Great host who has so much knowledge about Sri Lanka. You have to try the homemade rice and curry - it was the best we had during our trip. You can also see the famous lion rock from your balcony.

We told the owners that we would be arriving very late at 11pm and they waited for us and we felt the warm welcoming from the owner and his sister. The area they owned was pretty clean with home farms they are taking care of. The hut and its toilet were very clean with an incredible Sigiriya rock view the we woke up to see the clauds clearing. Breakfast was simple but delicious. The owner
