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 KingdomFor us we found the Wi-Fi to be quite patchy but that was likely due to the weather (but data service was good so we could hotspot) We felt the room could have been cleaner as there were some dead flies about, there were also a lot of flies in the main house, but I think probably due to the time of year. The only true negative for us was that we paid for a laundry service and the clothes came back quite smelly, some because of damp/long drying time but some just because they hadn’t been cleaned well (body odour still present) - I think they may have been hand washed but we should have asked whether there was a machine. However, all things considered we’d absolutely stay again because of the comfort of the room and friendliness of the host and staff.
Beautiful property with incredible views, Piyal is a friendly, helpful and gracious host and all of the staff we met were all friendly and eager to help in any way they could. The breakfast was lovely and varied day to day, the best pancakes we’ve had in Sri Lanka! The room was great, super comfortable bed, modern bathroom, good aircon if you need it, TV was also a nice touch with some western/English speaking channels. The pool and dinner are across the road at a separate property but we didn’t have a problem with that, the food at the sky lodge restaurant was tasty and well priced.

The location/view from the pool was exceptionally beautiful. The house and room extremely comfortable and very clean. Very peaceful and wonderful food. The breakfast was delicious and far more than we could eat. Lovely family. Helped with our transport and a day out.

United KingdomEveryone smiling to me all the time. I felt I don't have enough smiles to give back!!! hehehehe. I will look for long for something I did not like at The Grove
When you travel as much as I do, the place that you remember......becomes important. But when you not only remember, but also miss...than you have found a place you wish to come back. When you take a selfie with the workers, or when you sleep until late, because you have silence.....or when you expect to eat something special they do.....then you know you have a place that is part of your life experience. The Grove became one of those places: Where I have memories, where I want to come back, where I miss it. And where I had a spectacular time.

PolandA bit high price for this area of Sri Lanka And notify your tuk tuk driver that the road is a bit complicated in the end, that he will not charge you extra after.
You feel like you're in a castle. The hotel is very beautiful. It's difficult to get there, but the whole place was booked. Food at the hotel is not expensive, don't worry to find a restaurant, you don't need. Be sure to take advantage of the pool.

GermanyI had an awesome time at The Grove. The host Piyal and his wife made my stay, as they were extremely welcoming and helped out with every request I had. They have a beautiful home, and as I first thought it could be a bit too remote, it actually turned out into something great as you escape the loud city of Kandy with only a 30 min ride into the mountains. Having breakfast with an amazing view was my highlight in the morning, and everything that was served from breakfast to dinner was made with love. I did a day trip to Sigiriya which also Piyal helped me in organizing with. Thanks for the lovely stay! I'll come back if I travel to Sri Lanka again!

United KingdomWe had a lovely overnight stay at The Grove. The rooms are very spacious with huge comfortable beds and everything is spotlessly clean. The property is at the top of a hill with fabulous views. The owner, Piyal, was very attentive and extremely helpful. Together with his great team, everyone went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The only potential downside is the distance from Kandy town, being 16km and a 40 min drive away However, if you want a quiet, secluded place to stay, up in the mountains, then The Grove is ideal.

NetherlandsOne of the best hotels we stayed, such a beautifully designed and squeaky clean property, the rooms are super comfortable, we spent the day swimming at the infinity pool with breathtaking views, and had super tasty breakfast and dinner on the balcony. The family owners are very friendly and speak well English. The location is on a hill outside of Kandy, with views over nature and away from the noise and fumes of the city. We stayed with two small children and loved this serene and homely place. They could easily charge double the price, fantastic value for money.

GermanyI had such a great time with Piyal and his family. The accommodation is great, the rooms clean and spacious, you get the most delicious tea on the whole island in the morning and the view is just fantastic. Anyone who wants peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Kandy is in just the right place here. Apart from the wind and nature, you hear nothing up here. During the day you can relax by the pool or sip tea and read a book on the small terrace. In the evening and at lunchtime, you can choose from a small menu of food. Piyal always had an open ear during my wonderful 3 days and helped me wherever he could. Even after I had already left, he was very helpful.
