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.).

Sri LankaWhat we liked most was the helpfulness and kindness of Anoma, the owner. She is a sweetheart and she was always making sure we were as good as possible. It should also be noted that she is an excellent cook and the breakfasts and dinner she prepared for us were very tasty and large.We also highlighted the extra-large bed, which is very comfortable, how spacious both the room and the bathroom were, and how clean everything was. It also has a mosquito net, AC and clean towels.

GermanyYou can see the lions rock but just if you’re looking through the bushes from the front garden. We would have liked to see it from our room or terrace but that was fine because of the kindness of the host!
She treat you like her own family and that was really amazing! We also were sick during our stay and she gave us every help she could give us. If you need breakfast, lunch or dinner then take it, it’s amazing! She also can give you a cooking lesson for good money. We have nothing bad today say about this host!

AustraliaHighly recommend this place to stay in Sigiriya. The room is very comfortable and clean. Location is perfect not far from the Lion Rock, and close to the lake where you can go for a nice sunset walk with view on the rock! And about the owner, Anoma, she is such a lovely lady, very kind and took care of us like a mum. Very good breakfast and nice chat! Will definitely come back!

Polandyou are in the jungle so there are bugs .
I really enjoyed staying in this homestay. The whole family is very friendly and kind. They prepare meals that are very cheap and really delicious. The house is not near the main road, so it is calm. The family has their own tuktuk and can give you a ride wherever you want. The room was clean and comfortable, with a working air conditioner."

PolandEverything was perfect. The only thing I wish is more tourists visiting Sigiriya and Sri Lanka. There is very safe now, nothing to be scared of. The local people are so nice and helpful but they need more tourists to survive the crisis. Sri Lanka is so beautiful - people do not wait longer !!!
Our stay (me and my little doughter ) in Rock Lake Home was just great, even though we were't lucky to the weather, because it was raining all the time. But the most important thing is that the family who owns Rock Lake Home is so warm, so helpful, so wonderful and so caring. I wish we could stay longer than one night only, because we liked the family so much, especially the lady, who was so good and kind for us. I trully appreciate it. When we arrived, we were given a delicious welcome fresh juice. We had also very tasty dinner and breakfast . The lady showed us their home, kitchen and etc. The owners have a tuk-tuk and they can give You a ride to Lion Rock or Pidurangala Rock, which are not far at all. Our room was lovely and cozy, the bed with mosquito net was huge and very comfortable. Everything was so clean. There was even a hair dryer, that I needed so much :-) Rock Lake Home is situated in a beautiful garden, surrounded by palms, other exotic trees and flowers. This place is amazing. If You are planning to visit Sigiriya You should definitely stay in Rock Lake Home, You will not regret for sure. Thank You Rock Lake Home Family for Your kindness!

PolandVery warm welcome with great family atmosphere. The room was very clean and nice, the air conditioning worked well and there is hot water available. Another advantage is that the windows are facing a garden and it's absolutely quiet at night. The breakfast is real Srilankan food prepared out of local ingredients and it's delicious. You are not going to need a lunch afterwards ;) the host son has a tuk tuk and would take us anywhere we needed taking no charge for short trips and having really good prices to the further attractions. I strongly recommend this place for a comfortable quiet amd affordable stay
