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.).

France- The road leading to the location is a bit bumpy and on a hill, but they arranged a very good tuktuk driver for us so it was very easy to get to the city
- Excellent service , all the staff members were very nice - the hotel is very calm and peaceful away from the noisy city of Kandy - The rooms are very comfortable and clean We highly recommand this hotel if you were to stay in Kandy

Beautiful hotel. Very comfortable rooms. Outstanding pool and delicious food. In particular- we left our diary in the room and 2 days after leaving, contacted the hotel and they shipped it to us within 30 minutes of contacting them. What a fantastic service and what lovely people.

IndiaFox Kandy is completely out of the way. It's nestled on top of a hill and is troublesome for rikshaws to climb up. We had trouble getting transport to and from the city. Apart from this, everything is perfect.
Property is top class. The views are perfect and you can see the entire city. The room was well lit and airy. It drove a sense of pristine calm.

United Arab EmiratesIt was a little far from Kandy up a very small windy road. We personally found the restaurant didn’t have much atmosphere, felt like we were in a school hall. The staff were pleasant but not overly friendly.
A lovely hotel nestled in to the hillside of Kandy. If you want to break from it all then it’s a lovely retreat.

IrelandThere's nothing to complain about this place.
Beautiful scenery, neat and pleasant space, friendly and fast service, Delicate consideration and warmth for all guests, Also, we were given a very low price for the guests' drivers, so we had no problem with our daily travel schedule, and we were once again impressed by this consideration. The trough that gave us a smile with delicate towel art when we came back from a tired day In the morning and evening, we greeted Lahiru with delicate consideration and laughter and served the food I'm sorry, I couldn't memorize everyone's names, but thank you very much for warmly welcoming and taking care of us If I visit Candy again, I will definitely come here. Of course, it will also be a pleasure to recommend this place.

United Arab EmiratesMy wife and I were looking forward to local Sri Lankan breakfast cuisine but this was slightly hidden from view so as a suggestion, make this more prominent as tourists come to experience this away from their home country. Another Policy improvement would be to allow for Driver accommodation. I know this is a responsibility placed on the shoulders of the paying guest but small gestures like this go a long way in remembering the best parts of where we stay on our itinerary.
The view from the room of the natural forestry was breathtaking - what a nice view first thing in the morning. The staff were accommodating given our very late (early hours morning) arrival. The continental breakfast met my expectation and the overall grounds a very nice experience to meander around.

United StatesI don’t think the charges were accurate to what was said on booking.com. I believe I payed more than what I was told on the website.

AustraliaOnce we were at the property we liked everything
The location is great - with a caveat….. once you get there. If if want to stay there and pretty much just lounge around the pool, it’s perfect. But if you want to wander out from the hotel and walk around Kandy, then you shouldn’t stay here. The road(s) to the property are very slow and steep, and while it’s close to Kandy in a straight line, in reality it isn’t.

IndiaNothing in particular except some minor stuff, the breakfast could do with some more variety and the glass door in the room that opens upto the view was a little hazy, maybe the glass can be replaced. Oh and maybe some good coffee with a nice espresso maker. :)
The reason you would want to visit this place is for the view and calm. But I was pleasantly surprised by the humble and kind staff members who were just awesome! Special thanks to Dinesh from the restaurant and the super helpful reception : )
