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.).

Ranjini and Sena are a very kind and caring couple and made me feel instantly at home after two long days of travelling. Ranjini is an amazing cook and prepared amazing breakfasts and dinner for me and the other guest. They are very well informed and are happy to provide recommendations for activities, restaurants and other practical matters in the area. The house and room are located on a hillside with plenty of green, a beautiful view over Kandy and sufficient shade to provide some cooling on the hotter days. This place exceeded my expectations and made me feel very welcome in Sri Lanka. Great value for money

The villa has a nice view and very quiet position. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay longer than one night. The breakfast is exceptional Thank you very much 🙏

IndiaWe as a family of 2 adults and 2 small kids stayed at Evergreen homestay. It is a cozy homestay nestled between nature. The hosts were really welcoming and very friendly. They opened their doors for us to make our stay comfortable and our kids also felt very much at ease! They arranged a very friendly tuktuk ride who took us to all the sightseeing places in Kandy. He spoke English very well which made it very easy to get around. The son in law of the host himself drove us to Nuwara Eliya with nice sightseeing stops along the way! We had an enjoyable stay and would recommend to everyone who would like a personal homely touch to their stay!

Sri LankaI had a great time at Evergreen! The room was very clean and cozy. Most of the time I had to work, so they provided me an extra table that I could be on my laptop and enjoy the great view at the same time. Every wish was fulfilled and I regularly received delicious tea, of course at no extra cost. The hosts are just great and interesting personalities! They speak very good English and I enjoyed our conversations. I highly recommend the breakfast! I could always choose what I wanted to eat and even my favorite fruits were provided. The portion is fantastic, it was usually enough for me until dinner. 10/10!

IndiaThe location is quite far from the city centre Kandy lake for those who wants to be in the city centre . So every time you need to go for site seeing around you need to get a scooter or book pick me . Also the bathroom is pretty small congested. Otherwise the family house stay and people are amazing .
Evergreen is a homestay hosted by a very nice couple. It's a beautiful family house at lush green location in Kandy . The surroundings is just amazing. Our host Rajini ji served us a really delicious breakfast . A very peaceful house and stay .

The hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable, and helped me organize my 3 days around Kandy. They can give you info on sri lankan history and best activities, which sights to see, hired drivers, etc. Plus the fantastic local style breakfast and dinner on demand! (extra fee but well worth it) Cozy and clean room separate from the house means you're independent if you wish. You can trust them with your stay!

Czech RepublicNothing at all. Everything was perfect.
I made the best choice with Evergreen and I am very grateful to meet such a great and educated people. Dr. Sena and his wife Mrs. Ranjini are the most hospitable people I met in Sri Lanka. Inspiring long talks with great tips for trips, perfect breakfast and dinner, quiet room with stunning view… I found here everything I needed (and even more). I can only say that the bar was set very high at the beginning of my travels… I will never forget the best omelette from Mrs. Ranjini, if you like spicy food, it is a must.

United KingdomI had a wonderful stay at Evergreen. It’s on a village on the outskirt of Kandy and from the moment I stepped out of the Tuk Tuk, I was greeted very warmly by my hosts and felt very welcome. They very kindly offered me some Tea and cakes which was a very nice touch and I really appreciated it after a long travel from Ella. I had dinner there as well and had some fantastic food prepared by Ranjini. I have really enjoyed how attentive Ranjini and her husband were to make my (short) stay in Kandy worthwhile. They helped arranging a tuk tuk and an itinerary to see the main sights of Kandy in a record timing. I also really enjoyed the great discussions with my hosts (Ps : I made it to the top of Lion’s rock :)) I’d really recommend for anyone looking for a home stay, fantastic experience. Many thanks for my stay with you!

the owners are adult couple of very intelligent people, who were speak fluently English who you can discuss various things with and they werevery kind to me. they own gorgeous garden with big trees, that is why the place called Evergreen. it was really a pleasure to stay there and the only sad is cause i didn't have more time to stay there and that i had to work the only day i had in Kandy. i definitely recommend this place for those who want to stay in a quite comfortable house. owner is a friend of the closely located restaurant where you can have nice dinner by very affordable price.

This has been my favourite accommodation so far in Sri Lanka. The owners are the nicest people, so friendly and helpful and really made my time in Kandy. They made me feel like I was part of the family and welcomed me into their home, I ended up extending my stay because I loved it so much. The breakfast was delicious everyday and I was lucky enough to have a vegetarian feast cooked for me which was amazing! Highly recommend staying here!

It's been a real treat. I made a reservation at the last minute and they opened their door with an open heart and a big smile. Incredible welcoming and plenty of good recommandation whatever you want to do in Kandy. They spoiled me with tea, biscuits and ice cream on arrival. I had also great talks with the couple. Moreover, fantastic value for money. The omelette in the morning is the best I had in Sri Lanka. So, if you want to stay in Kandy, go and stay with this family. They are just wonderful.
