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.).

IrelandThe road into the property is not great - our poor driver nearly wrecked his car .. the craters on the road need to be fixed and maintained better.
Everything from the size and cleanliness of the accommodation to the quality of food at the restaurant and the pool beautiful area . We also had to add a guest (as our daughter surprised us and appeared from Australia ) and they were very welcoming and accommodating to the extra person last minute. Lovely quiet spot .

Romania-Such a beautiful property in the middle of astonishing nature, with all modern facilities. Just a few minutes away from Sigiriya and Pidurangala Rocks. - large, very clean and confortable rooms, with garden view. So quiet, all you hear is nature: birds, squirrels, gecko. By the way: we had no problems with mosquitos, i did not find any. - very good food. Just so you know you have to preorder breakfast because it takes a while to prepar. Same of lunch/dinner - staff very friendly and helpfull - we had 3 rooms booked and they checked and allowed us to use one room after checkout time (so we can shower after climbing Sigiriya on last day) - confortable pillows, very clean towels and sheets - they have a viewing deck, to Pidurangala, where we went for sunrise. One upstairs room had that view from balcony - having just a few rooms was also amazing, at one point we were the only guests.

United Arab EmiratesIt is a little difficult to reach the property and the Google Maps location isn't correct. This should be easy to amend by the management and would simplify things for everyone. Other than this, no complaints whatsoever - this property truly is phenomenal.
This place is a gem! Lovely setting, peaceful and immersed in Sigiriya's nature. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are beautiful and the view from the balconies is really unique. The price is a little high, but considering the location and the facilities, we found this to be 100% justified. If you're lucky, wild elephants might be spotted at night not far from the hotel! Food at the restaurant was good too, which is a plus considering there aren't many options to dine out around Sigiriya's rock.

Hong KongPrice of the food were a bit expensive compared to hotels at similar price range; location is not on the main road so was a bit hard to look for our driver
Overall the place is quite nice ; with a huge and spacious room and with our balcony overlooking sigriya directly. The shower is very clean too. Food were very good especially the breakfast, where we tried both English and Sri Lankan breakfast - very nice ! There’s a nice swimming pool too however we did not get to try.

NetherlandsIt is a remote area, so WiFi sometimes was a bit slow, or had some disconnects, but nothing too disruptive (same with our cellular data here, so not really the fault of the accomodation, it is just what you can expect in such a remote place).
Great a attention to detail with the offered amenities. Excellent Sri Lankan style breakfast was provided (continental style is also offered for those that want it, but we only had Sri Lankan as it was a great experience), and I loved the fact that it was not completely the same each morning, so we had some variety to taste. Unique to our whole stay in Sri Lanka, they had filtered, drinkable tap water with a nice neautral, clean taste - so very convenient! The AC was quiet, not distrubing our sleep, but efficient. There were 2 international plugs on each sides of the bed, so we did not have to bother with converters for our EU prongs. Wardrobe had task lightning. Toiletries included not only shampoo, shower gel and lotion, but also hair conditioner (most other hotels don't provide this by default in the country, and my hair appreciated the addition). Pool not very deep, but adequate still and kept crystal clear throughout our stay. Staff was fantatic, they helped us arrange drivers, tuk tuks, gave great advice about what time is best for each activity, how long it would take, and generally helped us finetune our inventory with spot on recommendations suited to our taste.

Large spacious clean room with amazing view of Sigiriya rock. Recommend booking a superior room which is on the top floor to get the views. Worth the extra . Very peaceful location with helpful staff & good pool . Bar & restaurant on site serving food & drinks all day & evening .

United KingdomNothing - although we got eaten alive, don’t forget bug spray!
Honestly - Roomansala exceeded all expectations. We only stayed a couple of days to climb Pidurangala Rock, and Heritance Kandalama would have been our first choice, but we’re so SO glad they were fully booked. The service and food was 10/10 - dinner was truly incredible, don’t bother heading into town, we had a very average lunch at the no.1 place on TripAdvisor. Would highly recommend. They gave us one of the rooms on the first floor and it had a simply stunning view - would definitely request one of these if you can!

This luxury boutique hotel, located in a serene natural environment is focused on the personal touch. From arrival to departure, the staff are attentive to your needs without being intrusive. The rooms are decorated exquisitely and if you book the rooms at the top you will have a divine view of Sigiria and its sister. The menu has many options to choose from and every meal is beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The bartender deserves special mention for creating custom made cocktails that were a masterpiece! During the night you should expect to hear many sounds of the natural world including animals, birds and other activities connected with the local farmers. Choose this place if you want to enjoy a serene location with the best attention to service you could ask for. We sincerely hope to return here in two years time and meet with the staff who made our stay so soon. Thanks to you all.
