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.).

“Into The Wild” is the best place to stay in Sigiriya! The staff is the nicest and most considerate team we have ever met. The service was extraordinary: You can order food at any time and it’s always prepared freshly, they arranged day trips to Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa as well as to the Nationalparks nearby and of course transport to Sigiriya and Pidurangula Rock for us. There is also a very nice temple right next to the hotel where you can watch the sunset. “Into The Wild” is the right name for the accommodation because many animals are living around that area. So you shouldn’t be surprised to see elephants, peacocks and many other birds around there. The garden and the pool are great for relaxing. The rooms and the rest of the hotel are perfectly clean and inviting. We would love to come back!

UkraineWe had an amazing time in the Wild Sigiriya - big rooms, a big pool where you will enjoy to swim after the hike and great garden. We could even see the peacocks and elephants! Loved staying there. You can take bicycles and have a great ride around the village and to Sigiriya or go for a safari. And during the night if there is no moon you can see the stars.

BelgiumWe really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villa. Isu was our tour guide driver. He took us to Dambulla and Polonnaruwa. He made sure we won't miss anything during our stay. He also drove us to Negombo, our final destination. He taught us how to play Carrom, a Sri Lankan game. I definitely recommend him! You have everything you need in this villa. Also the staff is super caring and very friendly, and food was delicious!

IndiaThe location is a little to far away from main road with no good walking access during nights. So you can stay here if you want to have all your meals here. The breakfast is below average not a lot of vegetarian options. You need to ask for basic things like breads, butter etc. the fan in the room was also not working.
The staff was very friendly especially ashan he helped us plan the overall stay at sigiriya.

United Kingdom1. Didn't like the Road leading to the property, our vehicle got stuck and had to be pushed out of the mud! 2. We were amazed that this hotel was run by a group of young men and 2 other ladies, (they did a good job under difficult circumstances) the Owner apparently lives abroad!! 3. Not sure who actually confirms the bookings and allocates rooms, our room a triple was in the last block, which was still work in progress, shocking as the Health and Safety Issues were completely ignored. I am sure the owner is aware of this, but choose to ignore it. There is building work on the block extension, so NO lights in the Stairways and NO Handrails Shocking 4. We had NO hot water on occasions NO Hairdryer NO TV NO Bedside Lamps 4. As it rained the pathways were flooded, however we could walk on the narrow path by the buildings, unfortunately no one had thought connect the buildings and once again, you had to step into the water to cross over, crazy 5. There were NO Lights in the Stairway NO Handrails So dangerous 6.. Perhaps someone should check this hotel out, because there are issues to be addressed
We liked the Location, however we had a huge issue with getting to and from the property as the road was like a quadmire Some needs to address this urgently. Our Vehicle had to be pushed out as it got stuck in the mud!

SpainThe staff has major issues, we had to order several times to be able to understand with them in English. On the last day we left at 5:30 and asked for a breakfast package, if possible even prepared from the evening, it wasn't possible, as no one was available to do this, even is we were with 2 kids and our room was with breakfast included. We had to ask specifically for some pool towels they brought us 2 towels very dirty that could not be used. Overall the hotel is in a very nice location but very poor maintenance.
The hotel overall is fine, but it way overrated.

IndiaThe approach road is not really a road, just a mid path and very narrow. Quite hard for normal cars to go easily. Especially when it’s dug up (like it was when we went). They did send a jeep to get our luggage so it was okay, but on the second day the jeep wasn’t available so we had to walk, at night, which was a bit scary, since wild Elephants roam the area there. So if you get there when it’s not dark, should be fine.
The room was spacious and the staff very friendly. It’s located literally in the jungle!

New ZealandThe hotel is very hard to reach - you have to go up a very muddy path. This would be fine if it was advertised/informed properly. Better sign posting would also help.
There are only 2 options offered for breakfast - Continental and Sri Lankan. The Sri Lankan breakfast was good but it’s the exact same meal every time, a variety needs to be offered if staying more than one night. The Continental breakfast is minimal - some fruit, bread, margarine and jam is all that’s given. Like the Sri Lankan breakfast, the meal is the same every time.

IsraelThe lighting outside is partly on, the access to our room and the pool, the main areas where we stayed, was very dark. The first night there was no hot water in our room. The service in the restaurant is very slow, we waited a long time for the food, longer than usual. And the thing that bothered us the most - in the morning we asked them to tidy up our room and when we returned in the late afternoon we were told that they didn't have enough because of a lot of work with other guests. This is unacceptable, we are also guests at the hotel.
The hotel is in a beautiful location, the pool is lovely and birdsong in the background. The staff is very very nice and tries hard.
