Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SingaporePolite and friendly hosts, very welcoming, not pushy at all. Away from the busy street. Very peaceful. Short walk to the main street, via a shortcut. Loved sitting at the balcony. Beautiful view. Constant cool breeze. Comfortable chairs. Freshly prepared home-cooked breakfast. Drinking water dispenser.

PolandEverything was perfect. We were warm welcomed with a Sri Lankan tea. Owners are really lovely and helpful. The breakfast and dinner were extremely delicious. We had also trip to Lipton’s seat arranged by the host. The view from the common area is stunning. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Property is located in the walking distance from the rail station. Nothing to complain about - highly recommended :)

GermanyUnfortunately our room (King-size bed with mountain view) had a lot of mold on the walls and ceiling. After leaving the windows and door open all afternoon and during the night the moldy smell was gone and we could really enjoy the room again. We know that Haputale is often very humid and misty but this was just a lot and can probably be improved by leaving the windows open making sure there is enough airflow.
Really beautiful view from the terrace and our room (King-size bed and mountain view). The hosts were super nice and spoke good English. The bed was very comfortable and the shower hot. Breakfast was plenty and delicious! The family dinner was amazing:) Besides the mold problem in our room this place definitely earns a 10!!

CanadaBecause of the geographical location its really humid! So the room was a bit smelly and moldy. They should really try to resolve this situation
The owners were really amazing, they made us feel like home and part of their family. I strongly recommend to eat dinner at their restaurant. The family will cook home made curry which was really incredible (one of the best we had in Sri Lanka). The Room was huge

PolandThe room had no AC. There was mould or mildew everywhere. Humidity was insane and while this is not the Inn's fault, they do nothing to decrease its levels.
The view is nice. The host family was friendly, we felt welcomed there. There was a water dispencer in the dining room.

Sri LankaThis place was one that exceeded our expectations. The hosts were very friendly and kind. The scenery that came with the amazing location was so pleasant to the eyes. And the food was very “like home” to us (We’re Sri Lankan). The room was very spacious, with a nice clean bathroom. Overall the stay here was very relaxing.

AustraliaBeautiful property, outstanding views, excellent hospitality and service, awesome breakfast. The host was very welcoming and caring. He gave us lots of suggestions for things to do and also organised a tuk tuk driver for us. It’s a short walk to the train station and eating places. Any questions or concerns were immediately attended to. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this homestay and we would happily stay again!

ThailandNothing at all.
The place is exceptional in every aspect, hospitality, cleanliness, facilities, helpfulness, breakfasts, room, are alll excellent and the view from the balcony, dining room and our bedroom was amazing. We also got lots of useful tips regarding travel, where to eat in town and what local buses to catch to visit neighbouring locations from the incredibly friendly family. I cant recommend this accommodation highly enough. The best place we have stayed at in Sri Lanka.
