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 KingdomEverything was great. If I come back, I would book this place again for sure
The owner is very friendly and he helped us to organise everything. The place is beautiful and the room was nice and clean with a comfortable bed. It is 10min walk from the centre but you can use his scooter, which we used all the time. Breakfast was also very good and surrounded by nature.

GermanyAbsolutely nothing to complain about :-)
Very nice but discreet host, who helped us to organize with everything, also at short notice. The room had everything we needed and was very clean, breakfast was super tasty and plenty. Last but not least the nice view of lion rock when you are heading towards Sigiriya centre. We really enjoyed our time at Udika’s place, also to relax in the hammocks in their nice garden. We definitively would have stayed longer of we could.

GermanyThis is a lovely place to stay in Sigiriya. The room is spacious and clean and very well kept, the garden is beautiful with a feeling place for the birds and a large variety of plants. There is a veranda in front of the room as well as hammocks to relax. Udith was so very helpful with everything including organising a scooter and giving me good tips on where to go in the surroundings. Coming out onto the road that leads to the place there is a wonderful view towards Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala Rock. There are restaurants within walking distance.

GermanyWe have rarely had accommodation with such a beautiful garden. You can see that it has been created and cared for with a lot of love by the family. This may also be the reason why many animals like to stay here and can be observed. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and Udika, our host, was very lovely. He also prepared one of the best breakfasts we had in Sri Lanka, which we were allowed to eat in his beautiful garden.

United KingdomNice View Lodge is five minutes off the main street of Sigiriya which means it’s not recommended to walk back at night due to the dark. However, the host picked us up by tuk tuk each evening after dinner free of charge so this was not an issue at all.
Nice View Lodge was the best place to stay to begin our journey in Sri Lanka. The host sent a lovely driver to us at the airport which we then kept for the first five nights of our trip. We stayed for three nights and the host was always available to help, gave recommendations, organised our transport and even picked us up from dinner each night when we went out to eat (free of charge). The room was clean and air conditioned and the host cooked us a beautiful breakfast each morning, each one different! View of Lions rock on your doorstep.

The room was clean and well presented. The lodge is located which seems far out but only a short walk to the local shops/restaurant. And about 20 mins walk to lions rock. The view of lions rock from the lodge is amazing. The lodge is set is a beautiful scenery with lots of butterflies, peacock, flowers, greeny and even a snake we seen

The host was so nice, he even came to pick us up at the restaurant at night. Quiet location away from the city but nice restaurants just a few minutes away (Kenoli is a must do, best sri lakan curry we had so far). We can definitely recommend and would stay there again!

Fantastic place where I particularly particularly loved the terrace, the magnificent garden (so many species of plants, birds and animals!) and the breakfast. You will never find a better and more service minded host than Udika. Always smiling and singing. A truly happy place to stay. Walking distance to the centre ant to the Lion Rock, but not recommended walking about in the dark due to the wildlife.
