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 KingdomHard to say anything negative but the mosquito nets draped over made it a little uncomfortable to sleep rather than being fitted around the bed like other accommodations we have stayed in but this is me being SO picky. :)
I don’t know where to begin! Firstly, the accommodation is unbelievable in the jungle with beautiful large (very comfy) beds and stone floors - I personally think it is even better than the pictures. But the best thing about this place is the hosting. Namanthi welcomed us with lovely drinks and cooked the most INCREDIBLE dinners that have been our best food in Sri Lanka yet. The family is so lovely and welcoming. Eranga was not there during our stay but he also was reachable on WhatsApp at all times with extremely quick responses and went above and BEYOND organising us two safaris at both Udawalawe and Yala as well as our transfer onto our next destination. He got this all done for us at a very good price and everything ran so smoothly he made our time here an absolute dream! Could not recommend this place enough ❤️

The owner was super caring, the location was beautiful, the room was clean and had really good conditions. You can have dinner at the hotel, where the family will cook a very tasty and local meal for you for a very fair price. The place is small and feels like home. We really really recommend this place as it was one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

FranceNothing really, it would be better with the AC, but I understand that it would be a waste of energy and money in the tent.
What a beautiful place. We really enjoyed our stay there. The tent is very spacious, with a very comfy bed where we slept amazing well. Surrounded by nature, going to sleep after looking at the fireflies in the garden and waking up with the sounds of the birds... it doesn't get much better. Note that it's hot, there is a fan, but no AC... so it's very hot during the day, fine to sleep at night though. The family running the camping is wonderful, the food is INCREDIBLE!

United KingdomMagical place to stay, literally above a little river, we could see fireflies at night from above (not in the accommodation, from the window) and we fell asleep listening to the sounds of the jungle. Was such an amazing experience that we will never forget. There is also a great Sri Lankan restaurant next door- amazing food.

everything was perfect! The food, the tent and the host family were all great! They also arranged a safari for us and a driver to our next hotel in Ella. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The tent was modern and very comfortable. The buffet in the evening was huge and we even got dessert. The safari was unforgettable and cheap compared to other safari tours in the area. Once we’re in Sri Lanka again, we will definitely come back. I 100% recommend this place and you should immediately book it!
