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.).

Very high price-quality. The home owners are extremely kind and have a good eye for hospitality. Warm showers, good internet connection, breakfast included, beautiful garden and room. I would definitely stay here again when I come back to visit Sigiriya. Manju also recommended an elephant safari to us, this was an amazing experience. Manju arranged everything for us, the jeep came to pick us up and return us safely home to the Homestay. We saw over 30 wild elephants and their babies chilling in the jungle and in the water. I would recommend people staying at this Homestay to also join this safari tour.

He drove me around with his Tuktuk whenever I needed it and his wife is an amazing cook! Breakfast was delicious as well as dinner!!! I felt at home!

Also the apartment was super nice and clean in the middle of the greens and surrounded by dschungle noices. The homestay is perfectly located to explore all the must sees in Sigiriya. Would definitely recommend to stay here to have an awesome experience in Sigiriya. The selfmade local breakfast was also really amazing!

We loved our stay at Manju Homestay. The accommodation was perfect (and clean!) with a private terrace in front to relax. The garden was beautiful and well maintained. The family was very friendly and our daughter loved playing with their daughter. Breakfast was great and we also had dinner both nights for a very good price and it tasted delicious. If you are reading this don’t hesitate to book, this was our favorite stay in our one month trip in Sri Lanka.

GreeceBy far the best homestay I stayed at in Sri Lanka! Manju and his family are honestly lovely with guests and they made sure I was comfortable at all times. The room was spotlessly clean and surrounded by nature and the breakfast and dinner were delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much!

IndiaThey have a wall mounted fan which rotates. The stay would become super comfortable if they install a ceiling fan.
The hosts are the best I have ever seen. The room is cosy with a spacious facility. The morning breakfast is awesome and the best I have eaten in Sri Lanka. The place is also situated near to the main road + at a stone’s distance from the Lion Rock + surrounded by forests which make it a compelling place to stay.

United KingdomPerfect stay. Amazing value for money. Manju is a smiley, lovely human who will make your stay special. The bungalows are spacious, with really comfortable beds. I had dinner the night I stayed (vegetable rice and curry) and it was one of the best meals I had in Sri Lanka. I wish I’d stayed longer! Such a generous, welcoming family.

The accomodation itself is like being in the jungle, very good and authentic athmosphere : ) Manju took us to Pidurangala to see the sunrise and then later to Dambulla. It was one of our best staying in Sri Lanka, I’m very much grateful we’ve found this little pearl : ) And one more thing, the breakfasr was amazing!

Manju coordinated all the activities and gave me some great tipps on where to go. And Dhila conjured up some extremely delicious Sri Lankan dishes.

GeorgiaIf you remember that it’s the home stay and not 5 stars hotel, you will really enjoy your staying.
This is a very hospitable family. Manju and Dila are just great hosts. Manju has a tuk-tuk and can offer you a driving service, including pick-up from the bus stop upon your arrival. He will provide you with very useful tips on where to go and when to visit (some sightseeing spots are very crowded, and he knows the best times to explore them). Breakfast was included, and Dila did a really great job. It was a good start to the day. Additionally, we ordered homemade dinners, which were simply delicious. The room is clean, and the bed is comfortable. The sounds of nature surround you, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Magic tea is available at any time of the day from the family. Thank you!
