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.).

We especially liked Nuwan‘s and his family‘s kindness and hospitality, he had so many tips and recommendations for the region for us… he basically arranged and organized our whole trip (ride to and walk to the peak of pidurangula rock, ride to the Mineriya safari park and seeing some elephants close by, ayurveda massage and village tour with a katamaran and a local cooking class - we had an amazing time). He took us everywhere with his tuk tuk and even showed us some special places (a rock with a great view at the sunset and some bird watching). He served us great local breakfast and dinner in the evening and always offered us more. The memories will always stay wirh us and we keep Nuwan and his lovely family in our hearts and wish him all the best.

GermanyWe can just confirm everything in the other kind comments! We never had such good service on our trip before. The rooms are clean and new, the garden is pretty and you can grab delicious roseapples directly from the tree. Although the property is close to a bigger road and there is no AC (not yet) we could sleep perfectly in the spacious beds. Go with Nuwan to the little tours he offers and you will discover parts of the real Sri Lanka, that no other tourists will ever see. Also, he gives you good advices and tries to save you from tourist traps. Booking here is a good option to support a little local family and to get the maximum out of your stay in Sri Lanka. We wish Nuwan and his family all the best!

On the first night he showed us a beautiful spot to watch the sunset, and on the second night he took us to a lake to go birdwatching (see pictures). In between, he took us anywhere else we wanted to be at any time, greatest service we've expirienced so far! Additional positive point: delicious homemade food whenever you feel like it!

We spent 3 nights at the Green jungle and it exceeded our expectations. The rooms were immaculate and extra spacious and so was the bathroom. The 2 rooms for guests are in an independent building with patio and tables for meals and drinks. The service was fantastic. Nothing was too much for Nuan. He has his own tuk tuk so he took us and fetched us from Dambulla cave tempkes and showed us some off the beaten track places. I read about Dambulla itself that it is nothing special as a town, abd was wondering whether it would be better to choose Sigirya as a base. It wouldnt. Dambulla is logistically better and The Green jungle is perfect as the bus stops to/from Sigirya, Polonaruwa, Kandy, Colombo etc are all 100 metres away. The estate is in a jungle setting and you can have fresh coconuts and fruit growing in the property. Also we ended up having dinner in the property by the family every evening as it was delicious and Dambulla town couldnt offer better. Wifi was great. The family was lovely, the service great and it was fantadtic value for money.

SwedenThe rooms were great, very clean and nice, nice bathrooms as well. The host, Nuwan, is lovely and so helpful with everything. He drove us with his tuk tuk whenever we needed to go somewhere, he helped us with booking activities and showed us some hidden gems we never would have seen without him. They served us homemade breakfast and dinner aswell. For breakfast we were served fruit that had grown in their lovely garden. Nuwan showed us a temple on the hill with amazing view for the sunset, some monkeys also visited us there. There were no other tourists there, only some local people, so we wouldn’t have found it without him. After that he took us to a real hidden gem, out in the nature where there were hundreds of big bats flying over us, such an amazing experience. All thanks to Nuwan.

SpainAmazing experience. We have stayed justo for two nights, but we would definitely stayed there for longer if we had the chance. The guest and his family were ncredibly polite and was available for us anytime. Big, cozy rooms. Amazing garden right in front of the bedroom that looked like an actual jungle. Delicious breakfast and coconuts taken right from the garden's tree! The guest has also guided us not only through the main spots (Temple Caves, Pidurangala...) but also through less known places thatafe us fall in love with the village. You will not be disappointed!
