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 KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like.
The staff in particular were very attentive and helpful, the Manager went above and beyond and made our stay very pleasurable. The location was excellent for The Lion Rock. Accommodation was spacious and clean and the grounds were beautifully kept.

Sri LankaWe were so lucky to have found this resort. My family and i were looking for a quiet place to get away from the busy city life and they delivered just that. This location captures the full Sri Lankan experience, the friendly staff and manager who were so proactive and kind, delivered exceptional hospitality. We woke up to sounds of nature and greenery everywhere. The property has a good size pool and you get your private garden with flowers and a view. Over all a great stay, exceeding expectations, i recommend this place a 100% and will return soon. My mind is calm and soul is full!

Czech Republicsomething you have to keep in mind is the position, we loved it but it unless you have plans lined up getting a tuk tuk on your own in the afternoon from the hotel can be tricky. Getting there was never an issue.
The staff/owner is extremely nice and helpful. He gave us tips on what to do, offered help with organising whatever we needed. He also prepared lovely breakfasts and on our day we left early we got a sandwich for the travel. Our pickup from the airport was also organised by him. The pool is an amazing refreshment on a hot day. It was extremely clean.

SlovakiaWe had a wonderful stay at Forestra Resort Sigiriya. From the moment we arrived, the owner and their family gave us a warm welcome with a refreshing drink and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodation was clean and well-maintained, set in the heart of nature, where we could see gekons, bird and peacocks around. The resort provided a mosquito net for the bed, and the hot shower was a great touch after a long day of exploring. The food was good and we especially enjoyed spending a relaxing afternoon by the pool. We also took a sunrise hike to Lion Rock, which was an unforgettable experience. The owner helped arrange a tuk-tuk for us, making transportation easy. After visiting Sigiriya Rock, we returned to the hotel by 9:30 AM for a lovely breakfast. The hospitality here was very nice—the family was incredibly kind and helpful. The resort is only a 15-minute ride to Lion Rock, making it a great place to stay if you're exploring the area. We highly recommend Forestra Resort Sigiriya for a peaceful and memorable stay!

The most welcoming staff we ever met. They were happy to help with everything. The pool is amazing. Good breakfast with plenty of different options. We also had a dinner in the hotel, which was really good and at reasonable price. Hotel has nice garden with a lot of trees.

The room is large and very clean. The grounds and swimming pool are beautiful. You can see and hear different birds. The manager was a lovely man, chatty and helpful as were the other staff. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful with omelette, toast, fresh fruits and a Sri Lankan traditional breakfast. We had two evening meals which were delicious too. Would thoroughly recommend for a relaxing stay with nature or somewhere to chill after a busy day. The location is a little remote along an unlit track, it is accessible by car and tuk tuk, we knew this when booking.

TurkeyThe rooms were a little too dark. I am not a fan of a lot of light at night but we found it a little challenging when we were packing and unpacking our stuff. But it wasn’t a big deal.
This is a little piece of heaven. Waking up and seeing a peacock outside the window is an experience I never knew I wanted so much. The garden is gorgeous and super fresh. Birds chirping and peacocks singing All THE TIME. The food and breakfast were really nice and the staff were super helpful and friendly. The hotel manager, Mr. Sumith is an amazing person with a great sense of hospitality. He is extra helpful with anything that we needed. The whole area is very quiet and perfect for becoming one with the nature.
