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.).

Czech RepublicWe are very happy that we chose this accommodation in Sigiriya. Here we found a cozy and peaceful background for our trips in this area. Spacious clean room. A beautiful garden full of flowers and also the pool. Rich breakfast. The owner and other staff were very nice and helped us with everything we needed. They advised us when to go see the main local tourist spots and also where to go and see outside the main tourist spots. Thank you.

Fantastic place within easy walking distance of Sigariya Lion Rock. The accommodation is modern, clean and well maintained with comfortable beds and large spacious rooms. The pool is just perfect after a long morning walking in the local area and the staff are so helpful and kind. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruits, eggs and local pancakes and rotis - I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Sigiriya.

AustraliaThe accommodation is superb, the room is spacious with a huge private balcony. There is a decent size swimming pool which is great to cool down in after a day of visiting the local sites. The staff here are the real stand out though, nothing is too much trouble. They organised tuk tuks to Lion Rock for 5am climb to beat the heat and Pidunrangala for the sunset and a transfer to Kandy our next destination. Breakfast is a delight with a mix of Sri Lankan and western food and delicious local fruit and juice. We didn’t eat dinner at the restaurant as there are a number of local options. Try Kenoli restaurant just up the road, it has some of the best Sri Lankan food I’ve had on this trip. Can’t fault il Frangipane, it is an exceptional and peaceful place with amazing and friendly service

PortugalThe pool could be more clean. And at lunch time it could have a few options for those who stay at the pool. The bed pillows could also be better.
Great place for the style, quietness, friendly staff. The room was very comfortable and large, nice swimming pool, and very good family restaurants 2 mn walk. The juice fruits are delicious. Great atmosphere. I was travelling with my 13 years old son and we both loved the place.

Thank you for a beautiful stay it was tranquillity to escape from the heat! From the time of arrival to departure, we felt so welcomed into the hotel by all staff. Our children especially loved spending our 2 days by the pool. The hotel is in a fantastic location to everything in Sigiriya, grounds well kept & maintained and has some lovely options for food close by, especially Liya 😋 ! Thank you for such a wonderful stay - don't hesitate to book to stay here!

United Arab EmiratesThis is the one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The staff and service they provide is like a 5 star hotel. They helped us organise x2 transfers as well as plan our day hiking and arrange a tuktuk driver. The pool was amazing to relax in after a big morning of hiking. A special shout out to the staff so friendly and helpful - they also brought us delicious juices and took the time to point out some do the friendly wildlife that visited the hotel. The breakfast was excellent - a great spread of fruit, eggs, different breads, and a smoothie. If you come to Sri Lanka you need to stay at this hotel!

NetherlandsGreat staff & location, right off the main road in Sigiriya. We stayed one night to do a sunrise hike to Pidurangala Rock (organised for a couple euros through third party but staff also offers to arrange transport there). Lion Rock is also really close. Room was enormous (the two of us stayed in a three-bed as that was the only room available, we booked late) and clean. Spacious bathroom as well. Nice pool & breakfast. Two highly-rated restaurant options next door (we went to Liya) Would recommend!

The rooms a large, modern and very comfortable. The garden is very nice and has a pool. The personell is very helpful and does a great job. Also the food we enjoyed. The Lion Rock is just around the corner and can be reached in 5 minutes by TucTuc. The price is moderate for what you get. We hope to come back some day.

United KingdomSignage could be a little better but is good enough. Struggling to find anything bad to say about this place or it's staff as it was all so good.
Everything. The property was lovely with landscaped grounds, a nice pool and a quaint restaurant area. Pool towels quickly appeared on request. Staff were excellent - very helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond good service. Although they were all young they could teach others what good service really is! Tea and coffee were free in the restaurant area. Breakfast was plentiful and excellent. Location for Sigiriya was absolutely fantastic. Suggestion would be not to go to the small strip of restaurants on the main road but try local places to the B&B. We should also have asked if they cooked dinner at our place but didn't.
