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.).

ItalyEverything was good
We had an amazing stay, in the middle of the nature with view on rice fields and Sigirya rock. Definitely one of the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. Also the very friendly owner suggested us a driver, who helped and escorted us for the rest of our trip with very competitive prices and amazing service (no tourists scams). Very recommended if you need support for drivers all around Sri Lanka - contact as follow if anyone need it, he replies on WhatsApp: his name is Isuru, +94712766332

AustriaThe location with its view on the Lion‘s Rock in the middle of nature. But for light sleepers: it is a bit noisy due to various animals in the surrounding fields, further it gets very bright in the morning. The hostable staff and owner and their recommendations - the owner’s wood carving shop.

RussiaNothing comes to mind really
The location is impeccable, the view is superb, the overall quality and beauty of the area is just outstanding. You can see the Lion Rock just from your balcony, and you can get to it by foot. On the other hand you’ll have a view over the rice field (hence the name of the place), and you can also walk to a nearby lake. The host is very welcoming and friendly. He owns a woodcarving shop which is located nearby and worth a visit (we’ve got some lovely souvenirs from him with a substantial discount)

We had a really pleasant stay in Sigirya. The cabins are very confortabile and the views to the Lion's Rock are the best, surrounded by rice camps and in the morning you can hear the bird and the nature's sounds. The owner is a very nice and good hearted person, he help us a lot with advices and he took us to the Lion' Rock with his car. The breakfast is was delicious , autentic Sri Lankan. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks you so much!

GermanyThe garden is a bit dirty. If you walk home in the night you might want to take a tuk tuk cause it's a bit dark.
They are super nice. The cabin is very comfortable and not far from the centre (walking distance). The cabin has great views and even though it is simple, it is very comfortable and clean. Visit their wood shop, they make beautiful things!

ItalyThe owner showed up quite late, and since we need to pay to him we waited a bit. Some parts of the hut are rather racked (including the net of the windows…)
Going there is an interesting experience. Sleeping very close to the jungle is thrilling and the room was super clean. The guy at the reception is super kind

SpainWe had a misunderstanding the first day about our plan for the day but the owner made it up and everything was forgotten. Really nice man.
The huts were great, only two in the hotel, so very intimate. The views and the sunrise are beautiful. The room is clean and with the mosquitoes net we didn’t get any bugs inside the bed. The breakfast was amazing, especially the first one with all typical Sri Lankan dishes. The owner is a very nice person, attentive and helpful. We also did kind of a cooking class for breakfast. Totally recommend!

Beautiful location on the edge of Sigiriya which makes the places nice and quiet. But still a short walk or tuktuk ride to the main road. The hut is wonderful and gives a good view over the surrounding jungle and fields and even Lions Rock. The owner (Gamini) was super helpful throughout the entire stay and arranged an amazing elephant safari with guide Sanju for us.

BelgiumYou need to be prepared to see some bugs or a mouse in the room. You are in nature so this is perfectly normal of course..
Good price value stay close to the Lion rock and restaurants. The room has a beautiful view of the rice paddies, lots of storage space and a hot shower. The included breakfast is delicious and very generous. The owner is very friendly and is happy to help you with anything. Loved our stay here and definitely recommend others to stay here.
