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.).

United Arab EmiratesWe tried their SPA service, but it required me to book it 2 times. Travelling with a kid is never easy, and our request to make Prawns on grill without any sauces has not been met. But the team did their best the next day during breakfast.
Great building and territory, but this place is great for isolation and relaxation, not for visiting Kandy. 1 hour and tough roads. The hotel team is keen to deliver the best they could, even with some lack of English language.

The view of the mountains in the morning is beautiful as well, with the sounds of birds in the morning ^.^ I would highly recommend for people to stay at this hotel!

Hospitality is great; staff is very professional and always smiling. Hotel and rooms are very well maintained and EXTREMELY clean!! :) (which we really love it!) Hot water is being a problem in some hotels in sri lanka, but not in this hotel!! Wifi working very well. Lots of English channels on tv. We had ala carte for dinner which was very delicious. Tomato soup is excellent! Portions are very big and good for 2 person. Breakfast was also very delicious with combination of local tastes like roti and lentil, and international food like pancakes, eggs, fruit salads. Service at restaurant, is a 5-star service!! Thanks to entire team :) We did not swim due to weather but there is a cool pool with great view. Hotel has both east and west view so you can enjoy both sunrise and sunset (if weather allows!). Location is away from Kandy city which was a point for us to chose this hotel. But google maps giving not the best directions, your driver should call the hotel for best direction especially if you reaching there after dark (roads are very tight and thats 2way…)

GermanyBeing in the jungle was nice but it’s really far away from the city Kandy (by Taxi around 25 Minutes), so you always need a Taxi to go somewhere. The food choices for vegetarian and vegan were really slim but they tried to make different things for us, which was nice.
The view was amazing! This place is great to relax and be a bit further away from the city. You’re basically in the jungle which is an amazing feeling. The service was really great, the people were really really nice. The food was good, you can get english breakfast but also typical food from Sri Lanka like Dal or Curry.

NetherlandsThe accommodation is a bit far from the city centre. We liked that, because we wanted to relax and avoid crowded places. If you want to go somewhere, you need a ride. But if you want to relax you actually can stay the whole time in the hotel. And the staff will help you to arrange anything you like (outside the hotel aswell) for decent prices The only feedback we have is that the staff is really fast with cleaning your table when eating. Sometimes we weren’t done eating yet. But still the service here was the best we experienced so far here in Sri Lanka!
We absolutely loved our stay here! Definitely recommend to others. We stayed for 2 nights, wish we had more time to stay here. Our room was fantastic! Really spacious and a lovely big bed. We also had a prived terrace, and the accommodation have pleanty of terraces with lovely views (good for sunrice & sunset when its not so cloudy). The restaurant is nice aswell, they make good local food but also pretty good western food! The prices are reasonable (good enough for us to stay here). Book a massage, that 1 hour relaxation is so nice. We liked that it is not a very big hotel, so its not crowded at all. Enough room at the pool to relaxt. The staff is super friendly, are willing to help you with anything. No request is to much. In less words: its worth to stay here :-) thank you for everything!
