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...).

New ZealandThe entrance was a little hidden, and there was no office, but the host came out when we arrived and showed us to our room. Fruit juice was provided once we settled in, which we had on the balcony. Rooms were great and very clean, the bathroom large and very nice. Breakfast was great, a recommended out of the way gem.

AustraliaThe owner has taken a lot of time to looking at the details. The place is well presented, clean and beautiful. I would have loved to stay longer but the place was booked. Also can I thank the owner for the great Tuk Tuk driver that took us to the Ancient City and was happy to hang to give drive us around. So happy we stayed.

SwitzerlandNothing, all perfect.
We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation! The place was extremely quiet, and our Deluxe Double Room with Garden View was very spacious and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the peaceful sitting area in the garden, perfect for relaxing. The hotel is located away from the main road, ensuring a calm atmosphere, yet restaurants are easily reachable within a 700m walk. The location is ideal for visiting the famous Lion Rock, making it a great base for sightseeing. What truly impressed us was the outstanding hospitality of the owners, who helped us arrange a comfortable shuttle from Colombo Airport to Sigiriya, accommodating our two bicycles without any hassle. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and plentiful – a perfect start to the day! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place.

LithuaniaSmall thing - smaller shower and leaking sink. When you take the shower the water spills everywhere as there is no shower curtain and the shower is pretty small. And the leaking sink makes the bathroom slippery and wet. But it’s not a huge problem as there is a towel left to put on the floor.
Great place to stay for your visit in Sigiriya. The room itself was clean. Their garden is really beautiful and you feel that you are in the jungle. Breakfast was really tasty.

SwitzerlandMy room was a bit poorly soundproofed and I could hear my neighbours (kids) and some construction during the day well (maybe try earplugs). But overall amazing, would return any time!
Really cute and family run hotel with amazing views on Lion Rock nestled in an absolutely stunning garden! You can watch parrots from the terrace, listen to the sounds of nature and relax. Udika helps with the organisation of tuktuks and everything else that you need and all the staff was amazing. The room is very very clean and spacious, comfortable with a big bed. Especially to mention is that the room is equipped with everything you might need such as shampoo, tea maker, umbrellas, complimentary water, hairdryer etc.

Beautiful property and location. Perfect for early morning trips to Lion’s Rock and Pidurangala, followed by relaxation on the hammocks in the lovely garden and/or trips further afield e.g. to Polonnaruwa. The owner Udike was extremely helpful with organising car and tuktuk transfers and was happy to delay our delicious breakfast until we returned from our early morning hikes. Highly recommend.

KazakhstanIt’s better to rent a bike/scooter/tuc tuc as Pick me is not working in Sigiriya and you cannot call a cab to the rock or city.
They do have a nice view. It was a comfortable place to stay in Sigiriya, as for this affordable price you’ll stay in a cozy room with all the amenities you need, you’ll get a local tasty breakfast and you’ll enjoy all the green territory and private quiet neighborhood.
