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.).

United KingdomThis is a great place to stay in Sigiriya. Amazing place, just has 4 rooms. Your meals are served in front of your room. The portions of the meal (Breakfast included) is huge. The food is delicious and to your requirement. The host is super friendly and provides guidance on visiting the rocks if required. They even arranged tuk tuk for us to visit Sigiriya rock to start our climb at 5am for sunrise. The rooms are cosy and the gardens are well maintained. I would definitely recommend staying here. Although we only stayed 2 days, some other guest had stayed much longer.

Nice and quiet, surrounded by green, just around the corner from the Lion Rock. The host, Fernando, and his family were super friendly and helpful (even arranged for a last minute transport when we needed it to go to the train station). The room was spacious and comfortable, nice shower. Good breakfast.

Rooms were great - clean, comfortable, nice furnishings, spacious, spotless bathroom, seating outside on terrace. Rice n curry for dinner was delicious and great value. Bottles of water were available and reasonably priced. Included breakfast was good too. Location was close to main attractions whilst being off the main drag. There is a bus stop close by too.

SlovakiaOur room did not have a mosquito net (ask for one :) But nothing else was missing.
Location: The villa is in a quiet place, off the main road so you only hear voices of the forest, rarely any cars or motors. The rooms: there are 4 rooms, 2 with fan and 2 with a/c. They are simple but spacious, the bathroom is simple but there's hot running water and it's clean. The beds are comfy and big. Breakfast: JUST GREAT. Big Srilankan breakfast, everyday a little different, prepared and served with care and attention. I just wish there was more fresh fruit for breakfast :) Proximity to attractions: walking distance to the entrance to Lion's Rock (10-15 min) and 15 min to the city. For other attractions we recommend to take the bikes and explore the surrounding, such as Pidurangala Rock for sunset (but go earlier and explore the whole area. There are ancient Buddhist gompas all around worth visiting and seeing before climbing up the rock), the big Buddha statue from where you can get directly to the entrance to Lion's Rock and the moat. Hospitality: I cannot appreciate this enough. Both Fernando and Niroshan are great, kind and extremely helpful. Loved the place, we can only recommend it.

What didn’t we like! We loved it here; set in a jungle surrounding it was quiet and peaceful yet only 15 minutes walk into the village. The room was large with a double and single bed which were really comfortable. The aircon at 26 was perfect. The bathroom was huge and very clean; the shower had loads of hot water. Outside there were lounging chairs and the table and chairs for breakfast; breakfast was incredible and there was something added or different everyday. There is a shortcut through the woods to the main Road you can use during the day and it is walkable to the ticket office for Lion Rock. There are lots of restaurants in the village and more a little further on off the main road. But what really made this a great stay were the people; the family are just so lovely.

CanadaWe had a lovely stay at Sigiri Jungle Villa. We had two rooms which were spacious, comfortable, clean, and well appointed with lights, outlets, and furniture. The beds were comfortable and the showers were hot. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the lovely garden. The place was a short walk to the main road, and we easily walked back from Sigiriya Rock and town several times. We are glad that we stayed away from the main road as it was so peaceful. Our host served wonderful breakfasts and dinners (dinner was extra $ and so worth it!). He personally drove our family to our next destination for a reasonable fee, and made sure we had everything we needed. When the AC stopped working, it was fixed within two hours due to his diligence. We recommend this spot for a comfortable stay in Sigiriya.

We absolutely loved staying at Sigiri Jungle Villa. Its location is fantastic - few minutes walking to Sigiria, local bus stand and the town centre as well. The cleanliness of the apartment was just outstanding, very very clean and nicely equipped. We got everything we needed. It is clear that the owner is taking great care of the area - even the walls were newly painted for the season. We also loved the jungle in front of the apartment! Absolutely stunning mornings and evenings we could spend on the terrace surrounded by nature. (Also there were no mosquitos). Rich breakfasts were the best we got so far in Sri Lanka. We could also order homemade dinners made by the owner and his family - excellent food with tea and fruits for a great price, not to mention that the owner also arranged convenient elephant Safari trip for us. I could go on and on with the positive comments. Thank you very much for everything and we hope to see you again!

Excellent Guest House located in very quiet surroundings close to the main street. Several restaurants nearby. COME and Taste (1 min walk). Wow Kitchen (3 min) and ISLAND Vibes (8min) for a meal or a drink in beautiful surroundings with music and board games. The room was very clean, spacious and had comfortable bedding. The bathroom was very recent, with a new toilet and shower. Hot water and good water pressure. Wifi works perfectly well. The family is extremely kind and attentive. The breakfast is very good and copious. Bikes were provided free of charge. The service and quality for the price is more than fair. We highly recommend this Guest House and would be delighted to return.

GermanyAmazing hospitality!! Owner helped us to organize trips and transportation, frequently asked if we needed something and we were offered delicious tea several times per day. The breakfast was delicious and so much that we were full for most of the day. They prepared breakfast differently every day, so we got to taste milk rice, roti with dal curry, hoppers, pancakes with coconut and there was always toast and eggs too. Great value for the price!! Rooms are simple, but clean and you have everything you need. There is a terrace infront of the rooms and you can relax there looking at the garden and listening to the jungle sounds. It is close to Sigiriya Rock and there are some restaurants near by. Owner speaks English very well, thus he can tell you a lot about the country, its culture and its people. That way you can really learn about the country you are visiting.
