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 KingdomOh wow! This place is beautiful! Wonderful breakfast and such an oasis. We loved it here and felt very spoilt. The hosts are amazing and will help you with whatever you need. There's no need to arrange much yourself if you don't want to. The staff go above and beyond. We went to dambulla after check out, and when we came back to collect our bags, they even let us use one of the rooms to freshen up before our journey on to the next place. We 100% recommend. The food places down the road are also amazing! The rooms are huge and perfect location - can't fault it !

We couldn’t fault il Frangipane one bit. Incredibly beautiful hotel with kind, generous, and attentive staff Podi, Anju and rest of the team. Rooms were great. We wish we could have stayed forever. Highlights: Gorgeous garden surroundings cared for round the clock Clean and lovely pool to escape the heat after day of hiking Breakfast is great - Western with a bit of Sri Lankan. Location is central to the happening strip of shops and restaurants Make sure you eat lunch or dinner at Kenoli restaurant around the corner, a simple humble place with the most delicious home cooking. Get the rice + 4 veg set and chicken kotthu (ask for chicken curry gravy with it)

NetherlandsNot many beds at the pool, but realized later they can put more and if they see you want to go there they will place extra beds immediately. I only found that out the second day.
The place was so beautifull and relaxed! Garden and pool are so well maintained and pretty, even more than in the pictures. The rooms are big, clean, modern and the terrace is really nice. Convenient located. But most of all the people are lovely.

Beautiful hotel in a great location - we could walk to Sigiriya Rock and lots of places to eat nearby. The pool area was so perfect for relaxing after climbing all those steps! Super friendly hosts who helped us organise our taxis, laundry and let us store our baby's food in the fridge. The owner loves gardening and you are surrounded by amazing plants! We even got visited by a peacock just before we left.

United Arab EmiratesWhat a find !! A little piece of paradise hidden away about 5 minutes drive from Sigiriya Rock entrance. You enter through a private gate into a beautiful garden with a small pool, perfect for a dip after a hot day out. The team of staff are excellent, friendly, and helpful, going out of their way to make the stay perfect. A huge breakfast is included which sets you up for the day, and if you have dinner there the chef will ask you what you would like, and accommodate you as well as he can. There are just 6 rooms available, all spacious family sized rooms, with good bathrooms.

MalaysiaWe could do with another pillow but we didn’t want to ask. It seemed petty.
It’s a well located and nicely designed property, well maintained and beautifully lush with greenery. The staff were friendly, attentive and kind. The whole place smacked of love. We love the pool and the dining area. It was indeed an oasis from the rest of Sigiriya.

PolandWell, everything: - most importantly service provided by hotel staff, from the very first encounter. After long drive through the Sri Lankan traffic I was tired and the guy from the hotel met me by the road on his scooter to guide me to the accommodation - they had open kitchen with a variety of dishes at 21 o’clock which was perfect as me and my wife were tired to go out to look for places to eat - the territory is enclosed with a fence and they have parking spots, so it was ideal for me with rented car - the room was clean, smelled fresh and new (something I found hard to find in many hotels). - they have all necessary toiletry including hair drier - the room is very big, the bed is comfortable. - the territory is beautiful, lots of greens but the room and terrace feel private space because of greenery that separates the territory - nice breakfast - the property is close to the entrance to Sigiriya National Museum

United KingdomNothing as we loved it all.
We had a fantastic 2 night stay here, it’s such a calming place with beautiful plants all around the garden and Pool area. Great location for the main sites of Sigiriya such as Lions Rock and a short walk into the town. The owner Raveen was a great guy and we loved hearing about how he created IL Frangipane from scratch and he also drove us to our next destination Kandy. All his staff are lovely and the breakfasts are great.
