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.).

GermanyGood location. Nice and clean room with a good bathroom. Sri helped us rent a bike and picked us up from the train station. He puts in a lot of effort. If you like to socialize with the host, this is the place for you.

Sri LankaWe couldn't be more happier with the stay at Serene Home. It's about 3 to 4 kilometers out of the city which makes the place very calm and enjoyable. The room is pretty big and has a wonderful balcony with a view into different kinds of trees. The bathroom was super clean, modern and had a great shower. The Host made us feel very welcome and really cared about our stay and wellbeing. He even picked us up at the railway stop, gave us many helpful advices about things that we could do in Kandy. He organized a traditional dancing show for example. For breakfast we could pick between 4 different options. Every option was very delicious and included lots of fruits. We already miss our stay at Serene Home and the lovely hospiltility, thank you Sri for the wonderful time!

AustraliaI liked everything
I had an exceptional stay at Serene home. 😍 Shri was very welcoming and made me feel safe and comfortable. The room is spacious and modern and it has a lovely view from the balcony that looks onto nature. The property is close to Kandy and all the sights by tuktuk or car and it is in a nice quiet area. Breakfast is also served at the property which good and was plentiful. Shri picked me up from the bus station and dropped me to my train as well as drove me to and from other parts of Kandy. He even picked up my laundry for me while I was there as I was pushed for time and he wanted me to enjoy my stay as much as possible. He has great communication and replys almost immediately. He was so helpful in telling me information. He managed to get me 1st class tickets on the Kandy to Ella train despite these being sold out at the train station. This host really went above and beyond to make my stay a memorable one in Kandy and I got to meet his mother and father who were also beautiful, kind and caring people. ❤️ I feel like I have a family to return to when I return to Sri Lanka. As long as you are happy to engage with the host and really feel the homestay experience then I have no doubt that you will have a positive experience if you book Serene Home. ☺️

GermanyThe room is close to the city center but still far enough away to escape the rush. Especially the balcony is a nice quiet place. The breakfast was very good and the host tried his best to make our stay in kandy as comfortable as possible. He picked us up from the bus stand when we arrived, gave us a little city tour and even helped us to get tickets for the train ride to Ella. All in all it was very pleasant stay and I would definitely return!

Germany- Sri is an exceptionally friendly and helpful host: he picked us up at the bus station, drove us several times to the city and picked us up there in The evening, he provided us with so much information, arranged Tuktuk drivers, got tickets for the dance and train, even dropped us off at the train station - he really makes sure that his guests are happy and have a great stay in Kandy :) Sri is one of the most committed hosts you will meet! - The breakfast prepared by him and his lovely mother is delicious, you can try different local options and fruit is never missing. - The homestay is located in a quiet area of the city, with rice fields close by and a nice view from the balcony into the green.
