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.).

GermanyEverything was perfect
Upul is a very nice and helpful host. He messaged us already prior to our stay and also arranged the safari for us with an experienced guide. We loved our stay at Sunbirds Home and felt very comfortable. The value for money is excellent! The room was spacious and the beds comfortable. The A/C worked perfectly and we appreciated having a mosquito net. The bathroom and room were both very clean. The safari Upul arranged for us was very great too! We started very early in the morning and got a breakfast basket with plenty of food, snacks and drinks with us. The breakfast we got the next day was very good too! Thank you for a great stay, Upul! We definitely come back when being in Udawalawe again 😊

ChileEverything was perfect. I culdnt think of a single thing to improve.
By far Best hostel I have been to in Sri Lanka so far!!! You shouldnt think twice in staying here. 10 stars are not enoough. The rooms were amazing. Really confortable beds with many pillows, the AC worked perfectly and was silent so we had an amazing sleep. The bathrooms were perfect, and had a really good shower with nice pressure and HOT WATER for looong time! (That is not very common in Sri Lanka) The cabins are in a very good location, near the national park and as soon as we arrived we felt like we were in the jungle already. They are surrounded by nature so we could hear the birds chirping, it was magical But the best part of all was the owner Upul. He was so sweet and took great care of us since we booked. He contacted me through whatsapp right away, and helped us book a tuktuk from weligama, arranged an amazing safari for us with an experienced guide (we saw looots of elephants, wildlife, birds....) and kindly helped us with everything even until we arrived to our next destination. When we arrived Upul ereceived us with a drink, and he even prepared a basket with snacks for our safari. When we arrived back from the safari he had breakfast ready for us. It was delicious, abundant and varied ¡we couldnt finish it all! I think this hostel is worth 3 times the price

United StatesWe are extremely sensitive to mold and were not able to use the AC provided but its okay, we're used to the Asia heat.
The hosts are the most caring people we have met in Sri lanka. you can clearly tell hosting is what they love to do. We spent a week and they treated us like royalty which we are certainly not expecting. The rooms are tucked back on the property making it very serene and peaceful. We loved the table and chairs which allowed us to work for the week. The wifi is very fast for Sri Lanka and we never ran into capping issues. The breakfast was SO MUCH FOOD we couldn't eat it all. He even gave us snacks and water to bring on safari with us which made all our other safari people jealous. Do not hesitate to book here!

NetherlandsWe loved our stay at Sunbird's, would 200% recommend it! The family is very welcoming and kindhearted. They've arranged a superb safari at Udawalawe with Subhash. The place itself is peaceful, green, super clean and spacious. The breakfast makes you fill up till dinner;). There are only two cottages so be quick to book!

It's not just about the cozy rooms; the warm hospitality of our hosts has truly made a difference.
