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.).

ArmeniaFor me, the location was not so comfortable. Also there are no markets near the guesthouse. And the negative part for the ALL guesthouses for me, is people have their own lives (which is totally ok) but be ready that you will be awaken at 6, cause kids going to school or whatever.
Upul and his wife were very nice and polite. It was nice to have small talks with them during breakfast. First night there Upul ride me to the food court as it was late and I was not feeling comfortable to go alone, and gave advices about where to eat or go. Thanks!

Czech RepublicA few mosquitoes in the room, but none in the net tent thingy.
Upul is a great guy with two charming daughters. He communicated very well, welcomed us with drinks and friendly chat. The room was perfect, the bathroom was a bit small, but it wasn't an issue. There was a kettle with tea and biscuits and also a mini fridge ready to use. We were thrilled from the mosquito net, which looked like a baby tent above the bed. The AC worked perfectly. The distance from the airport is short (±10 minutes by tuk tuk) but there was almost no noise from the airplanes. We also tried the local food court Sasha - which exceeded our expectations. Upul also made us breakfast early in the morning so we could catch our flight safely.

SingaporeGreat breakfast. Comfortable bed. They gave me a nice introduction to Sri Lankan food. Beautiful high ceilinged room. I recommend having your driver call Upul to confirm directions because the location in Pickme was incorrect and my driver got confused. Despite being close to the airport it's not so close you hear the planes. Great value and a good location for right after a late flight or before an early takeoff. Upul was very kind and welcoming to his home. They are very kid friendly as well.

Also, the room had a fridge and we got water, tee and cookies as we arrived. The Breakfast in the morning was excellent and talks with Ubul were always great. He gave us lots of tipps for our trip.

Sri LankaUpul and his family hosted me wonderfully. I don't have words to describe how kind and friendly Upul is. The room is large, clean, the air conditioning and hot water work flawlessly. A bottle of water, coffee and tea bags were waiting for me in the room. Upul advised me where to have dinner, he recommended great places about 10 minutes walking distance from his house. In the morning I had an amazing breakfast waiting for me, which exceeded my expectations. Upul also prepared extra eggs for me for which I asked the day before. We had a nice time talking during coffee time, he told me a lot about Sri Lanka and the situation in the country. I highly recommend the place for an overnight stay before departure. For the airport transfer, I paid around 500 rupees ordering tuk tuk via the PickMe app. I will definitely come back here next time during my visit to Sri Lanka. People should learn the hospitality from Upul 😊 Thank you once again for everything!

ItalyEverything was just perfect! This homestay was the best positive surprise to close our month in Sri Lanka with a real cherry on top! Upul is so welcoming, making you feel at home right from the start. The house of the family is big and very clean as well as the room, with a desk, a kettle a comfy bed with mosquito net and a bathroom with hot water. Wifi was also working perfectly. The breakfast in the morning was so delicious. The house is in a quiet residential area, but only 10/15 mins walk from a big road with some food options and in 5/10 minutes taxi you get to the airport. I strongly recommend this place to everyone for the best way to land or leave Sri Lanka :)

I contacted Upul at the last minute to book the place and he was really helpful and friendly. He offered to pick my friend up from the airport for a cheap price and even arranged a car for my friend to go to Kandy the next day. Highly recommended service!
