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.).

PolandVery nice hotel with clean and well maintained rooms. Everything was working fine. Isuru - the hotel driver was our superstar and made our stay in Dambulla so much better than expected. We had lots of fun with him and I highly recommend trusting him with his recommendations.

FranceOne of our favourite places we stayed in while in Sri Lanka. The hotel is well maintained and the staff super friendly/helpful. It’s located on the road to sigirya which is very practical to get there for sunrise. I’d recommend the place for a stay in Dambulla

BulgariaOur top stay for our whole two weeks trip in Sri Lanka. Very beautiful property, with gorgeous garden overlooking the rice fields - fantastic views. The owner is one of the most pleasant people I have ever met - he helped us organized elephant safari and the next day he took us to whole day trip to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa. It was a pleasant and memorable stay at this property. We had a dinner with rice and curry - very delicious. Totally recommend this place.

GermanyFrom the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality. The hotel's location was ideal for exploring Dambulla’s famous sights and the Sigiriya Rock Fortress is just a short drive away. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable, offering local recommendations and even assisting with arranging transport to nearby attractions. I highly recommend the evergreen hotel to anyone visiting Dambulla—whether for a short stay or longer retreat. It truly made my trip special, and I look forward to returning soon!

The owner and the others were extremely helpfull and nice, they helped us to arrange our tours, transfer with very reasonable prices. Guesthouse is really clean, with AC. Garden is spectacular, very green (we saw mongoose marching around and also quite big squirrel on palm tree), also dining part is outside, with great view to rice fields. I can only recommend this guesthouse in Dambulla. Wifi is bit slow, but works for basic use.
