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.).

United StatesThe parking is a bit tough if you have a vehicle as it is on somewhat of a hillside. Parking being tough is pretty normal in Sri Lanka though. During our stay there was only one other car there so it was fine but if there were several cars there I could see it being an issue.
The location is great as it is right in the middle of Kandy. You can easily walk to the Temple of the Tooth and other attractions and restaurants. Room was spacious and had a nice view facing the lake and the temple. The included breakfast was great as well.

AustraliaThe showers must be driven by some sort of pump which sometimes means you get a thrust of hot water followed by a thrust of cold instead of a steady flow of warm water. It wasn’t a huge problem however - many of the places we have stayed in Sri Lanka don’t even have hot water!
Location is right near the lake, so close to the City for shopping and restaurants. The staff were lovely and the rooms were exceptional

NetherlandsThe internet was quite poor and took over 2 hours to get the staff to reset the router, which allowed at least basic level. The breakfast staff was kind but very inexperienced. There command of English was poor and they had no real clue about the content of the different breakfasts offered on the menu.
Perfect location, directly on the lake virtually opposite of the temple of the tooth, which is thus only 5 to 10 minute walk away along the bank of the lake. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The gaps around the terrace door that allowed the traffic noise during rush hour to be very loud in the room, were closed by masking tape to lower the intensity to acceptable level. The suite was huge in size.

AustraliaHot water took a long time to come through, but otherwise this was a good stay.
The location was great, just a short stroll around the lake to the centre of town. The rooms were very modern and clean, very comfortable and with a nice little balcony overlooking the lake (though the trees). Staff were nice, and after arriving hot and sweaty the welcome drink was very welcome.
