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.).

I loved Abdullah and the family. They prepared the best breakfast and dinner. Don’t try to eat outside, if you want to eat authentic Sri Lanka food!! The room was in front of the rice field, breakfast was served on top with an amazing view over Sigiriya Rock. I enjoyed the whole stay there. Thank you!!

AustraliaThe only thing we didn't like was having to leave! There is nothing to improve, it is perfect.
A fantastic location, looking over rice fields to Lion Rock. Angele and Madu are the best hosts and their beautiful family made us feel at home. Great Sri Lankan breakfast, different each day. Tasty dinners, enjoyed in the garden. We have travelled for many years in Asia and our room, with its stunning views, was clearly one of the best and the service, with friendly smiles, completed the perfect place for us.

I cannot explain how amazing this place is to stay - what a beautiful family and home! I am so grateful for the kindness they showed me and making me laugh. Madhu cooks amazing fresh food using vegetables from the garden and Aluvihare was so kind taking me on his bike with my bags. There is great AC, water available and the rooms are really clean. Stunning view from the roof as you eat breakfast. Thank you so much miss you ☺️

SpainMy girlfriend and I had a fantastic time at Water Guest. We arrived in the evening, freshened up with a nice shower, and enjoyed a delicious dinner there. The meal consisted of a generous and delicious portion of rice and curry, accompanied by our choice of cold drinks. Our host even arranged an early morning tuk-tuk roundtrip for us to witness the sunrise at Pidurangala rock the next day. When we came back from Pidurangala, we had a very nice breakfast on top the tower with views to the Lion's Rock, Pidurangala Rock, and the surrounding rice fields. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I highly recommend to everyone!

United Arab EmiratesHaving to leave.
We loved everything about our stay here… Anjula and Madhu greeted us like family on arrival and they looked after us our whole stay. The room was spacious, the food (breakfast and dinner) was incredible! And the views - of Pidurangula and Lions Rock- were spectacular from the rooftop cafe area. We loved all the little details like the breakfast being pulled up on a rope to us on the rooftop terrace. Anjula even organized some cricket to be played, he showed us how to get, cut and drink the coconuts from the garden trees and the family even put on some music / singing for us after dinner. We were very sad to leave.

NetherlandsKeep in mind that one of the three rooms is on the ground level so without balcony view. However, you can chill on the rooftop.
The host is a friendly guy who really does a good job in keeping you happy. From arrival you feel welcome. He loves to show his garden with coconuts and to play music or cricket with guests. The room has a nice view on the Lion Rock and some chairs to relax and enjoy the view. Room and bathroom are functional and simple. Price quality is good. They can also cook at home for dinner which was great.
