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.).

GermanyNothing. One suggestion: don't let your driver rely on google maps to find the hotel. It is very easy to find from the main road to Sigiriya by turning at the sign marked for "Jetwing" and you'll soon be there.
Jungle hut was probably our favorite place to stay of all the places our family stayed in Sri Lanka over 2 weeks. The manager was so friendly and helpful in arranging transport, safari, and making suggestions. The hotel is small so you really feel like you are treated well. We had the pool to ourselves most afternoons, the beds are comfortable, air con is effective, and food in the restaurant was very nice. We also loved seeing peacocks in the fields and monkeys in the trees around the pool. A great visit!

The property is located in a wooded area as the name aptly suggests. The owner Sunimal has taken extreme measures to ensure the fully grown trees are preserved. The buildings blend with nature and it was a pleasure to stay there. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent.

NetherlandsWe were missing a place to sit outside (some of the rooms did have it though). Location couldnt easily be found via google maps (wrong directions). A screenshot with the right way to reach the place would have been helpfull. Since the location is pretty in the middle of nowhere your quit dependent on the food there, which was tastefull but quite pricy.
Nice big rooms, comfi bed, fine shower, cool location in the jungle (sometimes eleohants closeby). Nice owner. He arranges trips for a reasonable price. Pool is (small but) nice.

CanadaThe power went out a couple of times, but it kicked back in within the hour (but not sure if there was anything they could do about it). The ac didn’t seem to work super great, but we weren’t fussy and didn’t mention anything until we left and they said they would look into it. It’s off the beaten track - so if you’re looking for something near the action, it might not be the best option. But if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway - this is your spot!
Beautiful setting, wonderful staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The jungle surroundings were very peaceful. Lots of food options on site and very reasonably priced.

United KingdomWe arrived late, 9.30 pm after an evening safari. We were extremely pleased with the reception we received from the host. He made us feel very welcome and organised an evening meal for us. The restaurant/bar food was huge and tasty, although a little cold, but I'm told this is normal for Sri Lankans. The room was lovely and clean and well furnished and new. You are right in the jungle and the whole place has a nice calming jungle feel. The pool was lovely and it was nice to take a dip after a hot day travelling around.

The resort is located on a countryside surrounded by a jungle full on beatuyfull and interesting birds and animalls. It is a beautyfull calm place lead by a very kind and helpfull stuff, ready to fulfill all of your needs. Especially any support with organising the sightseeing routes to interesting places. You will find here original wooden bungalows (some rooms with a tree inside!), with air condotion and full equipment, that you may need. Kitchen will offer you excellend food. You can also use a nice pool from early morning till late evening hours. During nightime the silence will be broken only by the sounds of a wild nature. ❤️🐘🐒 I really recomend this place. Many thanx for Suni (owner) for such a great hospitality.

United KingdomI spent my birthday at Jungle Hut Resort and absolutely loved it. I was in a terrible mood when I arrived as the rain had stopped us from climbing Lion Rock but an afternoon swimming in the pool in the gorgeous garden of the resort soon cheered me up. Our room was beautiful, exceptionally clean, had a very comfortable bed...and even a tree growing through it. The resort is surrounded by nature. Whilst swimming in the pool, we witnessed the spectacular sight of about 100 huge bats flying overhead and unfortunately missed the elephants trying to sneak into the garden during the night. In the evening, we enjoyed delicious food and cocktails and chatting with the owner who is a lovely, interesting man. The best part was when the staff surprised me with the happy birthday song, balloons and cake! It absolutely made my day. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff who went above and beyond! 10/10 would stay again and again!

JerseyWi-Fi was a bit patchy. We needed it for onward travel plans. It was easy to arrange transport to restaurants but near this in mind if you like to walk.
This is a really cool chilled hut in the jungle. A short tuk tuk ride to town and many restaurants. Easy to arrange taxi transfers and trips to nearby areas. Pool was a plus for the kids. Food was really good.
