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.).

NetherlandsThe one and only thing was that there was no refrigerator for our drinks to stay cold. But that’s it :)
We stayed here for 4 nights and it was perfect. We had a warm welcome from the family. The room was nice and spacious. Malidu (the host now) was really thinking along with us, about what we wanted to do and see and brought us everywhere we wanted to go. He even invited us to a New Year party with his friends and family (when we stayed here it was Singhalese New Year). We got super nice breakfast every morning with typical Sri Lankan food and fresh water.

GermanyAir condition could work better, and as you are in the middle of nature, you may have some little visitors, but never inside our bedroom. But altogether really nice
We stayed for three nights here and the family who owns the apartments are were nice and friendly. Also the rooms are very clean and the WIFI works really good. The apartments are a bit outside, so you need to walk approx. 10 minutes to the main road but the view on the lions rock and to rice fields is really great.

United KingdomLots of mosquitos, but they can't exactly help that.
The staff were great! They were able to do laundry for us. It's in a great location! Next to a rice paddy which gives a full view of Lions rock! Short walk to some great restaurants. Mosquito nets provided.

The location is perfect, in the middle of the rice fields. You also have a wonderful view of the Lion Rock. The breakfast was prepared with love and was very varied and very tasty!

The owner is very kind and helpfull. The view is outstanding, you can see the rice fields and the Lion rock from the terrace. Also there is a lake where you can walk or chill on the big terrace or garden in front of your room. At night you can hear the soothing animal noises. The rooms are very clean and big.

SwitzerlandThe room was really clean with a lot of space. The homestay is located in a very quiet and peaceful location, yet very close to the center of Sigirya. The view in front of the room is very nice. The host family is very kind, welcoming and supportive. We had a problem with our tuktuk and they fixed it for us. The breakfast was amazing. We had a very lovely stay and we recommend the Panoramic Royal Villa to everyone visiting Sigirya!!

New ZealandFamily bed and breakfast was a nice peaceful place to stay away from the other hotels and main Street. Still close enough if you want to walk to restaurants (10 min walk) Breakfast is decent and enough to get you started. They were kind enough to make it vegetarian for us. Facilities are suitable with enough space to relax in the room and outside your room for breakfast. It had nice views towards Lions rock looking across some rice fields. They are more than happy to help with the odd tuk tuk ride here and there and make suggestions. Showers are adequate unless you like really hot showers. Air con and fan is great and mozzie net over the bed helps too

PolandIncredible villa owned by the lovely family! Room was specious and very clean, bathroom with hot water, there was a big terrace with an amazing view of rice fields and Sigiriya rock. The surrounding was quiet and beautiful, you are surrounded only by the nature. Breakfast was very tasty and big. The host was very very nice and helpful and offered us a ride to Pidurangala and a bus stop. I can truly recommend this place and it was one of the best stays in Sri Lanka :)

PolandA little bit far from Sigiriya on foot (15-20 minutes) and the street which is dark after sunset, there are some stray dogs running around.
The owners are a wonderful family which helped me with transport nearby Sigiriya, served delicious breakfast and a coconut from their tree! The room was comfortable and clean, spacious. There’s a garden outside which I strongly recommend to spend time in laying down and chilling. Sigiriya view from the gate.
