Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaStaff were friendly and helpful during our stay. They also arranged a car to take us to our next destination, Sigiriya. The driver, SD, was a good, safe driver, and he provided us with lots of valuable information about places of interest along the way. He suggested places we might like to visit on the way, and was happy to wait whilst we looked around. Thank you, SD, for a memorable journey between Kandy and Sigiriya.

We had a family quadruple room which was lovely and spacious with comfortable beds, tea and coffee, air con and very clean. The breakfast buffet was delicious. The staff were so friendly and helpful, giving us lots of tips to see in the local area and even tried to make a bed for our baby to sleep in! The hotel was walking distance to the main sites and in a quiet street.

CanadaEverything was great. If I could make one small suggestion it would be to add some eggs for breakfast, there were a lot of sweet things and some people don't like curry for breakfast. This is no way lessens my review of the hotel.
Loved this small hotel that was located on a small alley off a chaotic main street so it was nice and quiet. The staff are all welcoming and helpful and you always get a smile. Our room was large, very clean and the rain shower with hot water was great. I had asked in advance if there was a fridge we could put a couple of drinks in and they brought a small beer fridge right to our room. Breakfast was very tasty, many different fruits, French toast, cookies, cakes and chocolate muffins. Also some Sri Lankan curry rolls and pasta. Breakfast started with a freshly made blender fruit drink. The hotel is walking distance to Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Buddha Tooth Relic) and the train station. There are many restaurants within walking distance as well. I highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Kandy.
