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 LankaMy friend Aura recommended this hotel to me and I can only say that, after traveling around the island for almost a month, this has undoubtedly been the best by far. Its location in contact with wildlife but close to all the tourist attractions of the Cultural Triangle is simply perfect. The food they offer is the most delicious we have tried. The pool and jacuzzi... a dream! Simply incredible. Dervis&Julia from Switzerland

Our staying was short but amazing. The staff was very helpful and the hotel is simply perfect to feel like in the jungle but in your own home. The pool and outdoor jacuzzi was like a dream. You should try their food. We recommend them to everyone.

United KingdomThe netting above the bed needed replacing and having a safe for valuables would have been preferable. However, in general I found Sat Nam Village hotel great value for money and would recommend to others staying near Sigiriya.
Sat Nam Village was perfect for what we wanted, a relaxed, quiet, rural place to stay near Sigiriya. It's location was perfect for getting to the Sigiriya Lion Rock. The food was incredible, and everyone was so helpful. We loved the deck chairs at the back of each cabin, a perfect spot to read after climbing the Lion Rock.

Sri LankaThis garden and pool area after sunset has a lot mosquitoes so highly carrying repellents.
The tranquil environment with being surrounded by the trees really sets up a very soothing atmosphere. The pool and the jacuzzi really helps you wind down after a long day of hiking. A lot of good eating spots around the property within walking distance. Also if your feeling tired the Spanish srilankan fusion cuisine made in house is also recommended. The peppery manager Emanuel will make sure you’re very well taken care of.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like family not guests .. and the food was the best we have had so far .. from the traditional sri lankan food such as curries to the spanish influenced potatas bravos.. everything is cooked fresh ..an open kitchen so you can watch or as I did .. had a morning cooking lesson to make string hoppers , coconut sambal and Dahl.. .. too good ! . The rooms are large .. plenty of storage and sockets next to bed and great hot water shower. Pool , jacuzzi and wildlife in the garden.. location is amazing ..so quiet but can walk outside and there are shops and a cultural center with local entertainment . Beautiful walk to a lake also for the sunset... we were so happy to have chosen this place . Transport to anywhere can also be provided .

NetherlandsNot really a bad thing but you are in nature so use the mosquito nets, they are there for a reason.
The location is super tranquil but still close to everything. The beds were comfortable. The pool and amazing jacuzzi are fantastic. We came with our 2 small kids but were still able to have some quality time together when they were asleep because of the pool and jacuzzi right in front of our little 'house'. The fireflies over the pool made it extra special. And the staff was super friendly, they wanted to make our stay as comfortable as possible, it was fantastic. Oh and the Spanish and local food was amazing! Highly recommend this place!

United KingdomHad several issues with bugs in the room. My mosquito net had several holes, letting in quite a few bugs. That said, when I spoke to Manu, he immediately switched my room.
Manueu, the co-owner was awesome, taking me on a sunset walk to a lake, and to a local restaurant to enjoy the best Kottu I had on this trip. The hotel has a pool and jacuzzi, and is very eco conscious. It has an extensive Sri Lankan / Spanish menu. I had chorizo the first day and deviled sausage the next day.

Also organizing a transport to any location was really easy with his help. The accommodation is at a very silent and quiet place. Very good to relax and calm down especially after arriving at Sri Lanka. The pool and hot tube were really cosy. Also the breakfest and meals for lunch/dinner were delicious!

NetherlandsThere are two dogs in the garden, that are not mentioned in the description. One loves barking at monkeys, squirrels and visitors, but he is not agressive. The other one is chill. Breakfast is pricey and does not match the pictures on Booking.com. Very nice area, but it is a bit neglected (garden, walls, pool).
Pool is nice. Cozy room interior with privacy, because of separate houses. Helpful employees. They even arranged a scooter for us. Garden is very green. Remote location - countryside vibe. The bus stop to Colombo is close to the house.
