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.).

NetherlandsAs in more comparable accommodations, sanitary and woodwork could do with some improvements. But no real problem really. The location maybe not ideal, but in our experience, there is no ideal location in Anuradhapura. Everything is a bit dispersed and also due to the heat, you will need a tuk tuk for everything you do in the city anyway.
We enjoyed three wonderful nights at the guesthouse. The room was good, with good beds, a good shower and some extras like a table, several chairs and a rack to hang your cloth. Good airco too. Wonderful owner and his wife, who did everything to make you feel comfortable. They arranged a safari for us in Wilpattu, on our request, and they did that in a honest and efficient way, without trying to get something out of it for themselves. Very reliable and friendly service.

United KingdomThe WiFi in our room was not good, infact is, was the worst we'd experienced in our five weeks of travelling in Srilanka. Otherwise all was good.
Our room was lovely and spacious , nicely decorated, nicely furnished, clean, good bathroom, nice little balcony to sit out. Very high ceilings on the first floor rooms. Good air conditioning. Comfy bed and pillows. Electric shower worked well with plenty of hot water. Would have been nice to have coffee & tea making facilities in the room. Location was OK but we think the location of any hotel is not the best owing to the large area covered by the ruins. Unfortunately, you really need a tuk tuk to get anywhere. Restaurants were hard to find close to the hotel. The hotel does provide breakfast at extra cost, we did not have breakfast as we decided to eat out.

Clean place, nice AC room, decent location, friendly staff. Bicycles available. They are the perfect mode of transport there. We went to do a round of the many temples on one day and rode to Mihintale via side roads the next day. Wonderful sunrises and sunsets and swimming at the resevoirs

United Kingdomwe stayed in an enormous, beautiful room. It was spotlessly clean and modern with lots of cozy touches. The bathroom was great. The room had a very efficient fan and aircon. the beds were very large and super comfy, and we slept really well. We had the warmest of welcomes and met all the family - everyone was really friendful and keen to ensure our comfort. We had a delicious and very large breakfast. we stayed on our way back.from Jaffna to Colombo by train and the hotel was conveniently located for the station (a short tuk tuk ride) and some good local restaurants.

United KingdomThe shower had hot water but it was a little tricky to keep it at a temperature that wasn't too hot or too cold. Other than that the stay was perfect.
The couple who run the hotel were very friendly and accommodating, along with the other staff at the hotel. They made a great home cooked breakfast on request and prepared a packed meal for us on the day we left. They also put us in contact with a tuktuk driver to take us to various locations in the city. The room was a generous size, was clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel felt warm and inviting. Great value for money. The location seemed quite good. We had to get a tuktuk to the main tourist spots but it was a short ride and not expensive. Will definitely stay again next time I visit.

What a nice place, the owners are so helpfull. They have a great contact with a very good tuk tuk drive to help you to see everything around Anuradhapura. We had a really nice connection and she even introduced me to her daughter. Would definitely stay here again. Also breakfast and dinner are an option. And very tastefully.

Lovely welcoming hosts who made customer service their priority - we felt like we were in a 5 star hotel. They gave us a choice of room and both rooms were very big with elegant ceilings. The breakfast was exquisite with a plethora of local cuisine. Highly recommend getting the daal and sweet pancake.

What a lovely homestay. Clean and spacious rooms. The best were the hosts that really took care that we would feel well. They were honest polite and friendly with us all the time. Since they showed us what sri lankan hospitality means we felt really welcome. Also they give you a very good accomodation at a very reasonable prize even if the breakfast is charged extra. We would and very probably will stay there again.
