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.).

NetherlandsNo disappointments at this location. Only lower outside temperature would be nice, so we could have enjoyed balcony and garden even more.
We most liked that the owner is so passionate about his resort. He loved to show us around in his beautifull garden and everything in the resort is thought of and well functioning. The sister of the owner is an excellent cook and she makes a great Sri Lankan breakfast. Each day a bit different but always delicious and plentifull. Same holds for the optional dinner. Owner also has good deals and friendly and knowledgeable friends for excursions to the temples and Sigiriya and safari. We left to see other places but actually we didn't want to leave this little paradise.

Beautiful, clean, spacious room. There are two very nice new buildings with two units each. The garden is lovely and we sat on the balcony and watched the birds. Breakfast was exceptional and plentiful & dinner was the best that we had in Sri Lanka, everything was fresh and flavorful. Kithmi is away from the main road so it is quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend Kithmi Resort, it is a true gem.

United StatesThe wonderful Hemantha and his sweet sister were truly exceptional hosts. This area was the most authentic area we visited in Sri Lanka. We saw elephants strolling down the road, monkeys everywhere and the Buddhist temples were beautiful. We also had the kindest hosts here who made our stay exceptional. Breakfast was fantastic and we felt like family. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced kinder people than those in Sri Lanka. Hemantha went above and beyond and was exceptionally kind and accommodating. The level of service was just wonderful and I’m so glad we visited! Would totally come back!

The owner is very kind and ready to help us feel comfortable. The place is very peaceful but not too far from the ruins. The room is very clean and has a big balcony. The wifi worked great. When we told the owner we had to leave very early at 6.30 am., he packed a simple breakfast for us. Very good value

GermanyThe room is very nice, but simple. No restaurants close by, but accessible by tuktuk.
Very new, clean and simple room with a AC and hot water. Super friendly host, who helped us organising drivers, tuktuk etc. He even prepared dinner for us when we arrived late. The hotel has a nice quite garden. 5-10 Min ride by tuktuk to ruins of Polonaruwa. No restaurant included, but meals can be arranged and prepared by the family of the owner.

Sri LankaGood place to stay as home in a calm surrounding and also close to the key attractions in the area. Suitable for people who would like to relax without much disturbances from others who staying at the place. Seems like the owner is highly concerned about the privacy and comfort of the guests. He's a friendly and reliable person too as per my experience staying there. Rooms including the bathroom was really clean and tidy which is highly appreciated.

ItalyThe host it was not clear with us, we asked to him if it would be possibile to have breakfast to take away early in the morning, but he didn't say anything clearly so we understood it wasn't possibile so we suggest to have dinner included instead of breakfast and he said dinner was offered by him. At the end we discovered NO breakfast at all and he charged to us also the dinner asking for more money. At that point we did not have more cash so I explained to him that it was not clear with us and we discovered the day after that he asked money also to our driver that's insane.. At the end we paid everything with a small discount but be careful and ask all the prices before every proposal he does to you!
The room was nice and clean with AC and simple bathroom.
