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.).

SingaporeVery limited hot water for showers (though this is typical for many places in Sri Lanka).
A unique experience in the pods. Grounds were lovely with a big pool. Great to stay somewhere different from the "typical" hotels. Breakfast was basic but sufficient. A short drive from Lion Rock.

United Arab EmiratesPlease pay more attention to rooms preparation and cleaning.
The place is excellent. It's a nice concept resort. The staff is absolutely amazing and accommodating. Despite our problem with a friendly mouse, they managed to handle it. They also found a way to make it up to us later. Well done on that gesture! The food is good; we liked the buffet in the evening and the personal touch from the chef.

NetherlandsWe had a very pleasant stay at NIVADOO. The room is clean, a bit on the small side but very cozy. The air conditioning works well. The bathroom was clean but the shower cabin could use some updating. The pool was large and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us to arrange a transfer. We would recommend this location. The road to the hotel is about a hundred meters unpaved. If you want to visit Sigirya you will have to take a tuk tuk. A nice tip to eat outside the hotel is 'Big Bites', a small restaurant around the corner with delicious Sri Lankan dishes.

GermanyThe address on Booking.com is incorrect; the accurate address is listed on Google under the hotel's name.
The staff is very welcoming; they assisted with organizing a trip to Sigiriya and provided transportation to Nuwara Eliya. The bungalow is very comfortable and clean. Laundry service is available. The pool is clean. The breakfasts are delicious and varied daily. The dinner menu is also tasty with a wide range of options.

Sri LankaOnly the garden around the pool area was maintained well, but not the backyard where our room was located. Should maintain that too.
Located in a calm and quiet environment not so far from the main road. Beautiful and unique concept for the hotel with almost all the facilities for a comfortable stay. Staff were so friendly.

SingaporeThe dirt track/ side access road isn’t all that easy for vehicles to get down although it does add to the ‘glamping feel’. Rather than come to collect our bags from the car the staff seemed to be scrambling to make our welcome juice (which wasn’t particularly nice) - would suggest focusing on a warmer welcome instead.
Our room was more like a standalone mini chalet/ bungalow vs. the domed structures shown in the pictures which I think are for smaller groups. The room was very spacious with a decent sized ensuite bathroom and a good outdoor decking area. The area by the pool is also very relaxing although as some other reviewers have noted the pool looks a little on the murky side.

United Arab EmiratesEverything was amazing except the food. Need to work a bit on the food, would give about 6/10. Good portions though. Oh would be better if they fixed the road leading to the hotel.
Amazing set up for a hotel, individual kottage type rooms. Was clean and confortable. Loved the interior and the setup. Staff was amazing especially Poonalochini who served us all throughout our stay with a smile and was very attentive to all visitors. Also Thilak the driver who drove us around and made aure we got where we wanted to go and made sure we had a safe journey. Pretty good pool as well.
