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.).

The location of the hotel is amazing, embraced by nature and peace! The breakfast is amazing, Sri Lanka hopper, rotti, fresh fruit, and Sri Lanka coffee (that was my first time trying, then I purchased some as souvenirs). The staff and hosts of this hotel are very responsible! Amazing memory of my SL trip!

Czech RepublicThis place is Sigiriya's hidden gem! With the best view of Sigiriya Rock, it's peaceful yet super close to everything. The real bonus? The owner and his family are incredibly welcoming, making you feel right at home. One night, we ended up singing and chatting with other guests, which was a blast. And breakfast with a view on the top floor? Absolutely breathtaking.

LatviaA kettle in the room seemed like the only thing lacking in the room to make the accommodation perfect. Also, keep in mind that the road to the villa is quite bumpy but that's not entirely the villa's fault because we observed this problem on the dirt roads around the area. Otherwise, everything was great.
A green oasis very near to the Sigiriya rock – it's a 10-minute walk away. The garden is very beautiful and you can enjoy it from the nice terrace and the restaurant area. The breakfast was good, and the host was very helpful and welcoming.

AustraliaWe loved the garden oasis that is Sigiriya Ranasinghe Nature Villa. The staff felt like family by the end of our stay, they were so kindhearted, thoughtful and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and huge. The room was impeccably clean and the shower had lovely hot water. There was a clothes rack to dry clothes and seats out in the garden where we saw mongoose, birds and a civet one night! The location was great within walking distance/quick tuk tuk at night to town and both rocks. It really felt like a free safari in the backyard. The tours and transfers booked with them are also very reasonably priced. The wifi was also good (except when the weather was raining, then the connection didn’t work- not their fault). We would definitely stay again.

GermanyFrom the moment we arrived at this charming family-run hotel in Sigiriya, we knew our experience would be special. Nestled just a stone's throw away from the majestic Lion's Rock, the location couldn't have been more perfect. The family that runs the hotel welcomed us with open arms, creating an atmosphere that was both warm and inviting. It felt less like a hotel and more like a home away from home. Their attention to detail and eagerness to ensure our comfort was truly commendable. The room was a delightful surprise – spotlessly clean ("super sauber" as they say in German) and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, blending modern comforts with a rustic charm that resonated with the jungle surroundings. Breakfast each morning was a highlight. Not only was the spread delicious and hearty, but the family also went out of their way to fulfill any custom requests we had. The flavors were a delightful mix of local cuisine and familiar favorites, all made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The premises itself was a slice of paradise. We felt immersed in the jungle, with the lush greenery and the tranquil sounds of nature enveloping us. It was the perfect backdrop for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. Our host deserves a special mention for their outstanding hospitality. They were always available to help with anything we needed, from local recommendations to just a friendly chat. Thank you!

AustraliaWe were so happy we picked this lovely place to stay, it far exceeded our expectations and was the most welcoming and friendly place to stay. I felt like we were staying with family, the staff made us feel right out home. By far the best dhal and coconut sambal we have ever tasted and they were so happy and accommodating throughout the stay. The rooms are spotless and the staff clearly care so much about maintaining the beautiful place to stay - it felt like a jungle oasis. They also organised to drive us to our next destination for a very reasonable price and was such a pleasant drive. I would not bother looking to stay anywhere else in Sigiriya - this is the nicest place we stayed and so conveniently located too!
