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.).

GermanyThe Road to the hotel is in a very bad condition. Contact the hotel before ur arrival so that they will give the directions. Payment accepted only cash which is a bit headache. Food prices are bit over rated.
The staff is really helpful.u will feel that u are living in the middle of a jungle. No need extra safari experience.

AustriaThere is no "real road" leading to the location and Google Maps will probably guide you through muddy roads with deep holes. Make sure to contact the number privided to get correct directions. If you don't have a vehicle of your own it will be quite pricey to visit the surroundings. The Manager was helpful, however he charges horrendous prices for "local partners".
The Location is amazing if you look for a remote getaway. The views are stunning and you can hear various animals at night (which can be also quite loud!). You should not be walking outside of the property at night as it can be dangerous.

SerbiaIt can get a bit noisy - firecrackers at night to chase the wild elephants. You need a way to move around - if you miss getting a tuk tuk from the owner you will need to walk a bit to be able to order Pick me. Internet at the higher floors is of varying quality.
The room was spacious, the accommodation is literally set in the middle of the jungle on one side and rice patties on the other side. Welcoming staff. Organized a Jeep transport when the local road got flooded.

AustraliaWe had two rooms for three nights and had no hot water the entire time we were there. Also not sure if there was wifi. We were there in heavy rain and the dirt roads surrounding the property were flooded. Also had to pay in cash and with the food bill we incurred over our stay used up all of our cash.
The staff are wonderful- friendly and very helpful. The manager was exceptional and our rainy holiday was salvaged by his help in getting us out and about. All the people he recommended from tuk tuk drivers to jeep safaris to car drivers were fantastic. Also the restaurant served excellent food and very generous which is good because we ate at the restaurant each evening as had read getting tuks tuks back to resort was difficult due to rain and elephants! The rooms were comfortable.

JerseyIt’s not close to anything else so you can’t get out for food or drinks elsewhere. Because of the presence of elephants at night (which there were every night we stayed) our driver didn’t want to drive there after dark. This meant we couldn’t go out into the town for dinner. Otherwise a wonderful spot
The Jungle Hut is set in beautiful grounds. The staff were very attentive food really good and the pool a great place to dip and cool down after packed days sight seeing! Our room had a tree growing up through it which was an interesting and nice architectural touch! It is off the beaten track and so quiet!

United KingdomIt was not easy getting out at night as there were wild elephants around. The plumbing was a little hit and miss.
I liked the way the property was set in a beautiful setting with wonderful flowers all around. The room was big and had a big bathroom. The beds were comfortable. There was a small pool that I did not use. The staff were very friendly and warm. Amazing location for Sigiriya and Pidurangala. Wonderful Auryvedic massage place 5 mins away.
