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.).

Value for money and how friendly the host and is uncle where. The host wasn't around due to sri lankan New year but he kept in contact with us via calls and WhatsApp massages. Uncle was very friendly and wanted to show his own house a couple 100 meter away. So we went and it was a nice bonus. We could also leave our luggage after checkout time to pick it up later

NetherlandsEvergreen Villa was definitely the nicest place we stayed at during our trip in Sri Lanka so far. The owner and his uncle are just the nicest people, they are so welcomjng and make sure everything is well arranged. From the outstanding breakfast, the trips together to the temples, meeting the family during a cookery class and playing cards in the evening - it was all just really fun. We liked the calm atmosphere of the surrounding nature, and when driving our tuktuk back on the road to the Villa it really felt like coming home. Sad to be leaving but definitely a place to come back to, and a recommendation to anyone that would like to truly experience Anuradhapura!

GermanyThe place is quite far away from the road and Anuradhapura. If you have your own ride it is perfect. Otherwise you have to get a TukTuk every time you want to go somewhere. With PickMe we paid ~ 1300 SLR from the busstand to the place.
Very kind host and owner. He organised bicycles for us and even dropped us off at the bus stand on the last day. He can also give you a lot of information on places to visit in the area and organise tours. The place is quiet and out in the green. You can see a lot of birds.

ItalyThe Evergreen Resort is located Outside the City, still all Sightseeing and Temple visiting you can reach in a short time by car. The included Food was fantastic, traditional Sri Lankan Breakfast and Tea in the Morning and at Night, the owner lent us bicycles and told us the best places around to see. It‘s located in a very quiet calm place sorrounded by the owner‘s Garden and forests....the room has a nice clean bathroom and his own terrace.

NetherlandsOne room is with airco the other one not. It lays in a wood so there is enough shadow.
The owner was a fantastic guide to the Ruvanveli Seya Dagobe (temple). He showed us a more than 2000 year old holey trea. It is a good location when you cross the country from west to east.

GermanyI stayed 2 nights here and felt very welcomed. Sampath is an amazing host who can arrange everything and guide you around the area (sacred city, mihintale...as you wish). The house is out of the City and perfect for naturelovers. Also recommendable is the huge included sri lankan breakfast.

NetherlandsI got picked up at the bus station by the friendly owner, which was very convenient. The room is in a quiet rural area, outside the city. Clean bathroom and comfortable bed. Had a good breakfast as well. The owner is a tour guide of the city, and will show you around, whatever you wanna see. So I had a personal tour guide for the sightings that I wanted to see. Also, after one night I did a jungle tour experience in a tree house, that was offered by the owner. I can really recommend doing that, as it's a true authentic Sri Lankan experience. We stayed for one night in the jungle, while we went hunting and fishing for food, and did a small boat tour. Great experience, accompanied by a lot of friendly family members of Sampath, I felt very welcome as a guest.

United KingdomI stayed here for one night and had a brilliant stay. The host is excellent and very welcoming. He even took me on a tour of Anuradhapura as I didnt have too much time there. Beds, AC and showers are all good and the breakfast was one of the best I've has in Sri Lanka. It's a quiet and relaxing spot and I highly recommend it if that's what you're looking for.

United KingdomVery basis. Middle of no where. Own transport needed/or rely on Sampath on book Tuk Tuk which charged tourist prices. No where to go near by & find transport .
Peaceful, unspoilt. Lovely Wildlife. Very small building with only 2 rooms in total. Real true Sri Lankan experience. Managed by a very nice young man, Sampath. He is very enthusiastic & does him best to please his customers. Very good food if you are vegetarian.

New ZealandThere was a monitor lizard living in the roof, unfortunately kept us up all night long hunting mice in the roof space. This animal needs to be removed from roof space for guests to sleep peacefully.
It’s very rural and quiet. You get your own personal space from others, there was no one else staying there so it was very quiet. Good room + bathroom relative to the price.
