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.).

FranceI loved this place! It is located a 1-min walk from Kandy View Point, right after Sandriana Lake View Hotel. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and clean, it is quiet at night and the fan works great (so much so that it felt cool even if it was 35*C during the day). The owner has been most kind and helpful throughout my stay, and she has helped me book a tuktuk to visit the surrounding areas. Although the house is located on a hill, it is barely a 10 min walk and a 2 min tuktuk ride to the city centre, so it wasn’t an issue. Overall a great budget place to stay in Kandy!

GermanyThe place is cozy and super clean. You can walk to Kandy Lake in 15 minutes. Make sure you take the shortcut through the park. You also have a great view of the town. The landlady was very welcoming and warmhearted. My favourite place to stay in Kandy.

United KingdomExcellent location - only a 15 minute walk into central Kandy, and moments away from a great viewpoint overlooking the city. You get the best of both worlds - a peaceful night’s sleep, and proximity to the hustle and bustle. The landlady is very warm and welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble! The room itself was spacious, clean and comfortable. Great value for money. I would definitely stay again.

NetherlandsWhat a super sweet women who owns this accommodation. We stayed here for two nights and we would definitely stay again. She washed our clothes (a lot) for free!! So nice of her. The bed was really clean (not like other places we have stayed) and it smelled so good, just like our clean clothes. The location is just a short walk (up mountain) from the centre. 10/10 stay! Thank you!

United KingdomThe wifi connection to our room was incredibly weak and non-existent so perhaps something can be done to rectify this. It is up on a STEEP hill so do bare this in mind - we often walked town and got a tuk tuk back up (200 LKR).
The accommodation was comfortable and clean. Despite only have fan rooms, it wasn't too hot overnight which was good as it was 30+ degrees during the day. There is a lovely view from the property and it was very quiet and peaceful escape from the city.

United KingdomNothing, however a kettle either in each room or in a communal area would be good.
A lovely place to stay; the owner was so friendly and helpful. It was really light and airy, the windows opened (with grills to stop any cheeky monkeys) which was nice. The fan was sufficient for us. The two beds were comfortable and large. The bathroom was good with lots of hot water. There was seating outside again a bonus. Although uphill it is easily walkable to town (shortcut by the side of the royal garden). Tuk tuk back is 400rupees. The view point overlooking Kandy is just down the road. I would recommend this hotel.

BahrainSlightly away from the city centre and has uphill walk, but there is a shortcut. In case you are travelling with luggage, better go with tuktuk, which is exorbitant at times for such short distance (but this can be ignored over the value for money aspect)
The host Chandni is an elderly lady and very kind and helpful in guiding and suggesting things about stay. Room was comfortable and clean. Loved the breakfast.
