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.).

We stayed in Kandy for one night, only slept in the room. We arrived early in the morning, the room was still occupied. The hostess allowed us to change clothes and leave our things, for which we are very grateful to her! We returned late in the evening, immediately took a shower and went to bed. The room was clean and tidy. Mosquito nets over the beds. A guest was waiting for us in the shower, a large spider! We panicked with fear, but the hostess quickly solved the problem with a bucket! Our savior! In the morning we woke up from the singing of birds. Silence, chipmunks running... The place is wonderful! Thank you for your hospitality!

SingaporeMattress was too soft and we would just sink in. Takes a long time for the mattress to recover its shape.
Clean and quiet room close to the heart of Kandy. Bathroom was spacious and basic amenities like a kettle and complimentary 1L bottle of water was provided. Do remember to bring along your own shower gel & shampoo. Very lovely porch to sit around at night, enjoying the cool breeze and stargazing.

United KingdomWe had a full ant invasion and I had to completely empty my whole backpack and things to get rid of all the ants. On further inspection outside was full of them. The bed was comfy but as soon as you move the creaks and so I kept waking up every time my husband moved. The room was very tired and a lot of cobwebs with dead flies in them. The location is not in the centre. We walked with our backpacks up the hill and it was tough, we live in the Italian alps so a mountain for us is nothing, but with luggage it’s hard work.
Spacious room, very quiet except the monkeys on the roof to wake you up!! But can’t be helped. Host was nice when we arrived.

BelgiumAmazing host. Super friendly woman. Rooms are nice and spacious. No AC, but this is not required because the temperature drops at night and the fan provides more than enough cooling. The hot shower is also very nice. The perfect room for that budget!

United KingdomNothing wrong with the place itself but it is near a restaurant/ bar down the street that was blasting music out till about 1am, so it was hard to get an early night.
I was only staying a night so just needed somewhere to put my head down and this was perfect for that. Away from the bustle of the city on the other side of the lake, with a lovely host that was very helpful and attentive. The room is quite basic but had a private bathroom with lovely hot water. For the price I couldn't ask for me really.

United StatesMischievous monkeys. // More often than not - unscrupulous taxi drivers.
Quiet, clean, spacious room up above the Kandy Lake View Point. Walk down to town and tuk-tuk or motorcycle taxi up. I enjoyed being able to use the kitchen. Otherwise, when in town I ate at Balaji Dosa. Relaxed and comfortable stay.

Good location, nice view over the lake, walking distance from the center. Yes, very uphill, but as long as you are not travelling with huge suitcases, you're fine. The landlord was very friendly and communication was good

United StatesEverything was better than expected.
The pictures where as shown. Large room, bed very comfortable, extremely clean, hot water 24/7. Safe area. The location is excellent. 2 blocks away from Kandy Lake View and 15 walk to city center. Be aware that most of the Hotels are located on the hills. The owner was waiting on my arrival, gave me a tour of the property and was always smiling and ready to help me with my many questions about the area. She is authentic when trying to help and it is another reason for enjoying the place so much. Highly recommended!!

United StatesIf you are wanting an area with more good restaurants nearby this one has some but they are about a 15-20 minute walk downhill. Take a tuktuk to get back up the hill!
The owner greeted us upon arrival and showed us to our room which was clean and spacious. The property is located uphill in Kandy which allows you to have a beautiful view of the city. We did our laundry and set our stuff out the dry. When we came back after a day of activities the owner told us that monkeys had came and thrown our items on the ground. She had been so kind and washed everything and set it out to dry for us again. This property is great value and has a kind host!
