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.).

Beautiful place with amazing gardens but what made our stay extra special were the people. The family is extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Since we were travelling with babies we asked for mosquito nets and those were installed before we came. The home cooking was some of the best food we had on our trip and much better than any restaurant we tried in the area.

ChinaThe rooms really could use a mosquito net over the bed and more dusting overall to remove some cobwebs.
The staff were very friendly and the dinner was great. They even took our drink requests to get some colas for the next day. Breakfast was very filling and served at time of your choosing. They helped arrange a great safari as well. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows. Bathroom was particularly clean and the property itself is beautiful.

United KingdomGreat stay at Jaye Eco Lodge. Accommodation is very good - spacious and modern rooms, breakfast is delicious and hosts are extremely helpful. You need a tuk tuk or bike to get into Habarana central or to see Sigiriya/Dumbulla etc. But Sujeewa will happily organise this for you! I took the train into Damulla station and they organised a tuk tuk to be there to pick me up when I arrived.

United KingdomJaye Eco Lodge is a magical place. Lakmil and his family were incredible hosts and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we arrived. Every evening when we returned to the lodge and every morning at breakfast we were served delicious fresh juice from fruit grown in the owners home. Lakmil and his family were incredibly accommodating to our dietary requirements. We eat Kosher and brought our own cooking utensils from home, and Lakmil prepared a stove for us to cook every mealtime and provided us with delicious fresh vegetables and rice and spices so that we could cook. Lakmil gave us great recommendations of things to do in the area and organised all our transport by tuktuk with the amazing Charnaga! The lodge itself is beautiful surrounded by trees and so peaceful. Our room was large and decorated in a simple and lovely way. Overall we had an incredible experience and can’t recommend this place enough!

Czech RepublicThe host was very nice and helpful with everything we asked for. His parents were super friendly and kind. They prepared for us a delicious breakfast with so many options. They even got us a mosquito vaporizer. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The surroundings were splendid, especially the garden where you could easily relax without anyone disturbing you. So far, it was our best stay in Sri Lanka. The only inconvenience is that the accomodation isn’t that close to the city center, but you can get a tuktuk ride or rent a scooter almost everywhere. Overall, if you’re looking for a calm place to stay, it’s the right choice.

Sri LankaI wish they had a restaurant with a menu, but since there were no guest and we did not book any meals I understand why they were not prepared.
It was definitely worth the money! They had working A/C and Hot water which was very nice after long hours of travelling. The staff was super nice and went out of their way to provide meals.

ChinaI cannot fault Jaye Eco Lodge. It was a comfortable stay and the owners were so hospitable, and helpful. A tuk tuk was arranged for me as I arrived d late to the train station. The food was incredible too - huge portions and all cooked by the owner's parents and the rooms themselves well exceeded my expectations. Honestly cannot recommend this place enough - a great base for anyone visiting places like Sigiriya or Dambulla.
