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.).

PolandJust as a note to future guests: the stairs that lead down to you rooms can be a bit demanding, so if you have mobility issues it might pose a challenge.
Absolutely excellent experience! Couldn't imagine a better way to explore the rainforest in Sri Lanka. Amazing hospitality, delicious cuisine. Because it's not as big as traditional resorts, it can be truly sustainable, and still provide a very high level of customer service, making the stay a 5 star experience.

United KingdomNot a criticism but an observation - intending guests should be aware that reaching the main building and rooms (or the waterfall) involves a lot of steep high steps carved from the hillside. Those with limited mobility will struggle. Note that walks through the forest itself are, however, all on easy asphalted tracks.
Unique location staying in an all-glass conservatory suspended over the rainforest. The owners make guests very welcome. The home-cooked food is very good, the curries exceptional.

Saudi Arabiagetting there from the airport was a tough ride up the mountains but the ride they provided was good.
This place is absolutely beautiful, our room was overlooking the waterfalls and we would sleep on the sound of the forest. The hosts were very friendly and the food was delicious. I would go back again and again if I had the chance.

a beautiful oasis of peace and quiet. Amidst the rain forest this guest house is in every aspect worth the trip. Any nature lover would think the ecological setup of the guesthouse in combination with its surroundings and the perfect service and meals are just brilliant.

GermanyWe spent 3 wonderful days here. Janith and his family were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and always freshly prepared by Janith wife. We booked a guided tour of the Sinharaja rainforest. It was a complete package with guide, transport in an all-terrain vehicle to the national park and back, equipment and a simple but good lunch. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained not only the individual plants and animals we saw during the 6 hour hike but also many ecological relationships in the rainforest. He was also always considerate of our abilities in the pace and choice of trails. After Janith heard that I was interested in the amphibians of Sri Lanka, he spontaneously offered me a free night hike to the river. In the light of the flashlight we discovered not only numerous frogs but also many other animals such as colorful crabs that lived in troughs of trees filled with water. He was very knowledgeable and could tell interesting things about each animal.

IndiaThe property is more like a home stay run by this lovely couple who are great hosts. She cooks fantastic Sri Lankan food and he is a great guide, very resourceful. Janith helped us out with almost everything..we were keen on seeing the endemic species of birds and he made sure we saw them all by organising a bird watching tour with a guide (Kumara) who was extremely knowledgeable . He also organised a tour into the rainforest with a great guide. Clean rooms, excellent food and property. Overall a 10/10.

LebanonThe quality of the room furnition was below expectation. The wooden roof of the room with the restaurant being on top made it very noisy. The water pressure in the bathroom was very poor and primitive. Also the food wasn't great at all.
I liked the ambiance of being within nature. The staff were very nice and helpful.

PortugalPrices are a bit steep, everything is priced in US dollars which is strange and gives a weird impression for non US guests and Sri Lankan guests alike. The food is mediocre and too expensive.
I liked the closeness to nature and cleanliness. Also the owner is very informative and takes you to the waterfall nearby which is great fun.
