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 Statesما در اتاق ۸ نفره اقامت داشتیم و تازه ساخته شده بود و خیلی تمیز بود. پیشنهاد میکنم اگر به دنبال مکان دنج و خاص و ارزان هستید. We stayed in the room for 8 people and it was newly built and very clean. I recommend it if you are looking for a cozy, special and cheap place.

The place has amazing views of Sigiriya. We can see both Sigiriya Lion Rock and Pidurangala Rock from our room and from breakfast place. I guarantee this place has the best view in town. Also, on the way to town, if you're lucky, then you may see a giant elephant 🐘 and so many butterflies and birds. The place is so peaceful and located in the forest as its name but not far at all from town and restaurants. It takes 5 minutes by tuk-tuk (the host will call tuk-tuk for you with a good price), or you can cycle as the host provides bicycles for guests. I'm so thankful to the host, sister and little boy who helped us during our stay. They're so friendly, honest and helpful. I highly recommended this place. You'll be not disappointed at all.

ChinaThe Spartan facilities can have some upgrades. Beware of the whimsicalwater heater, boiling hot at first and then very cold. It takes a while to be stable. Make sure you don't hurt yourself.
It's a unique experience staying here. The room is like a tree house situated in the forest. If you go out for dinner it's required to take a taxi. It's unsafe to walk in the dark because of passing elephants. Free bicycle is a plus.

CanadaOur tree house (I cannot speak for the other ones) had mold which is very dangerous to breath The pillows should be changed because now they smell like mold Staying in a tree house in the middle of the forest we were expecting a few insects but the place needs some work done to prevent them from taking over the place It has a lot of potential and great people, hopefully with a few changes it will be better
The owner was very helpful and nice and deserves 11/10 We loved the area, even if it’s a little away from the main attractions/restaurants we could use the bikes for free to go around town easily Shower had hot water Breakfast was good

United KingdomThere was no room for toiletries in bathroom which was an issue as it was a wet room (easily fixable by having a cupboard!) & no sanitary bin in the bathroom. Photos didn’t most accurately reflect our room (we didn’t stay in one of the treehouses)
Most hospitable host - made 2 young girls arriving at night feel very safe. Breakfast was amazing! He was also very helpful facilitating our sunrise hike, giving us loads of advice! Went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable eg we had just got off the plane, jet lagged and tired so he ordered in local (amazing) food for us & offered to let us shower after our hike even though we had already checked out

United StatesIt is in the jungle, so be aware that their may be bugs. However there were much less than we expected and I didn’t even need to use any bug spray while outside. Just something to consider if you are aren’t used it.
It’s a lovely property in the jungle, very cute cabins and a great value! The hotel staff is very friendly and welcoming, 100% recommend staying here! Location is also great for Sigiriya and Pidurangala, highly recommend hiking Pidurangala at sunrise, even though it was a bit cloudy when we went, it was still a gorgeous view. We also got to see monkeys!

CanadaRoom wasn't in the pictures and was dated - could do with an update, but worked out for us. We however visited the newly built cabin for bigger groups which was really top noch so would recommend if you are more than 3!
Host was amazing and super helpful. We had a really good welcome, were given some amazing yoga classes in the morning and the overall welcome was just amazing. Really close to Pidurangala rock so can easily walk there. They can also lend you bikes to go in town and the lion rock. Breakfast was really good.

The host is incredibly helpful, also organizes TukTuk rides and delivered dinner and even protects his guests from monkeys at the breakfast table 😉 Breakfast was also very nutritious. The rooms were extremely idyllic with views of the Lions Rock. The location is the perfect base for the surrounding hikes.
