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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

lovely place in the middle of rice fields and not far from the main places of Sigiriya (by car or tuk tuk). only 4 rooms I believe, we were the only clients in this newly opened hotel during our stay. we felt very pampered and relaxed there. the staff took great care of us, amazing sense of service and the dinner was very good. the swimming pool is very pleasant facing the rice girls and the famous lion’s rock.

South AfricaWe had a peaceful stay at this hotel. It’s located in a very quiet area, which is great for relaxation, though a bit tricky to find at first. The rooms were spacious and clean but quite basic. The pool was a nice touch, and we enjoyed using it. The food was simple but decent, though we would have loved better coffee and perhaps a more extensive food and drink service. The staff were friendly and helpful when approached, but we would have appreciated a bit more information upon arrival. Overall, if you’re looking for a quiet and simple stay, this could be a good option!

United KingdomConsider this a guesthouse more than a hotel and you won’t be disappointed. The fixtures and finishing aren’t of a good standard (the toilet wasn’t secured to the floor for example) and there was no housekeeping or replenishing of items in 4 days. It’s also difficult to be independent since you have to arrange transport to go anywhere. If you have your own car, no problem, but the hotel doesn’t offer lifts or pick up.
If you stay here bring some binoculars, you can spot some amazing birds from the balcony!

FranceTo be 100% honest, this is not a 4 star hotel. The rooms are really big and perfect for instagram but lots of work is still to be done to improve the overall hotel condition (paint not well done/construction marks on window/ blue plastic cover on water evacuation/landscape) Food and breakfast was okay. Would recommend this place but only for few nights
The hotel is definitely nice looking, we enjoyed our 2 night stay and the staff was really nice and helpful. The view over the rice fields is stunning !

AustraliaIt was a bit far from restaurants and activities. They said they have cars/tuks available to take you but there was none. You felt like you were the only ones at the hotel. The restaurant wasn’t open at night so we had to find alternative ways to get into town to eat. Staff hardly understood English so was hard to communicate
We liked how quite the property was and the pool view.

DenmarkThere were electrical issues and the backup generator didn't work properly. Stock in the toilet at night with the power out and no torch in hand☹️ We mentioned this problem several times before we were offered a new room.
The staff were very helpful, but had some problems with the english language..This led to several misunderstandings.

GermanyLevel of cleaniness We have had several cockroaches in the room, there was undefinable dirt in the shower corners of the bathrooms. Due to the numerous pigeons on the roof daily cleaning of the balcony would be a must. No room service although we stayed three nights. We had to ask for new towels- they brought new ones, these however were not clean. There were many things where it became obvious that the hotel is poorly maintained: holes for power outlets are not properly closed, lights on the staircases were broken, aircon was dripping, mattress was already worn out ... WiFi in the room was not working and very poor in the restaurant area. Water in the shower was cold, especially in the morning.
The view from the balcony and restaurant was excellent. In principle this hotel has a lot of potential. However, the hotel is poorly maintained, especially taking into consideration that it was opened only half a year ago. If the price was lower, the negative points would be acceptable, but the provided pictures/description are misleading. You should not expect too much when booking!

Sri Lanka1.There was no proper car park, first impression once we entered the property is very bad and not pleasant at all. The view from the room sigiriya and pidurangala are very far away, pictures in booking.com has been zoomed. 2.Booked the rooms early but they weren’t ready when we checked in. 3. Most disappointing part was the room, very unclean and poor maintenance, the glass windows in the room weren’t even cleaned at all. Bathroom was horrible water leaks into the bathroom floor when flushing the toilet. (Pictures attached). Unpleasant smell, broken bathroom shower. Unclean bathtub that dosnt work properly. Lights don’t work properly its dimming time to time and blacked out couple of times. * They compensated upon check out for the bathroom issue. Waved off breakfast for 1 person and room charges for extra person (4000lkr in total)… regardless of the compensation it was a very unpleasant experience that i never wanna experience again. Took a vacation after so long and ended up in a very miserable situation. We lost our mood to even enjoy the trip further.

AustraliaTo be totally honest, my stay wasn’t what I expected or felt was reflective of this property. The rooms were great however, big and good value for money. I’d book based on that alone. However the food there was not good at all, low quality and orders incorrectly delivered. The staff, even though they tried their best, aren’t on the ball. It felt as if the level of quality of service was not reflective of the property being offered. I’m overall property is dating quickly however is only 4 months old.
The room - that’s it.
