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 KingdomThe only thing was that our mosquito nets were slightly stained, however this wasn't an issue.
The staff were friendly and helpful, they helped us book taxis. The food at the restaurant and breakfast was nice. The room was spacious, with good toiletries, fridge, mosquito nets and a nice bathroom. We also enjoyed the pool. The stay was about a 15 minute tuk tuk into Sigiriya.

United KingdomRestaurant options limited and didn't seem like the most authentic Sri Lankan menu. The deluxe double room was not good - the piece of wood ("door") between the bedroom and bathroom did not close and left a gap of about 5 inches - not pleasant for privacy. Could have used mosquito nets too as there are a lot of bugs in the area.
Well located - 10 min drive into main Sigiriya. Family room was more modern and better quality. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

United KingdomI think it’s worth saying this resort is probably not for those looking for a “party” vibe. It’s also not a high end luxury resort although everything was clean, modern and we had everything we wanted. It’s not a criticism at all we had an incredible stay and would recommend 😊
We have just finished an awesome stay at Nivadoo as part of our two week honeymoon in Sri Lanka. Just for context we are a 31 M and 30 F, this resort was perfect for exploring the ancient cities. We visited Sigriya, Polonnaruwa and Dambulla Caves/Temple from here and it was an awesome place to relax after a day doing stuff. The service was amazing, the team were so so lovely and it had abit of a family feel to the whole stay. I would definitely advise getting all 3 meals included, we found this to be excellent value for money and although there are some local restaurants Nivadoo is in a rural location.

South AfricaCan't think of anything.
Fab hotel with welcoming staff and well-appointed rooms. Easy access to the main road (a very short walk) where you can find restaurants, cafes etc. Lion's Rock is a short tuk-tuk drive away. Due to the use of solar, shower water takes a while to heat up (also mindful that it was raining heavily during my visit) but once it's heated all is good.
