Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Very good location. Practically in the town center, but in a side street, so it is nice and very quiet. The entrance to the building from the street is closed, so it is also very safe. Modernly furnished apartment and comfortable bathroom with hot water in the shower. Access to a shared kitchen. Clean. Bedding also clean. 10 mins walking to Kandy train station, about 15 minutes to Tooth Temple, modern shopping center also at a similar distance.

United KingdomI was very pleased with my stay at Orchard Home and found it to be a very convenient base for my visit to Kandy. The property is well located, with easy access to the city centre, train station and bus station, all of which can be reached within 10 to 15 minutes on foot. The room was clean and well equipped and the bathroom had a very pleasant warm shower. I found the bed to be comfortable and despite the hot spell of sunny weather, I slept well each night with the ceiling fan running (I kept the windows open during the day). The host, Sam, was very friendly, informative and accommodating and I found it straight forward to make all the necessary arrangements with him. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

United KingdomThe WiFi was sometimes down, which has been my experience throughout Sri Lanka! A few cheeky ants began to gather, but Nishadh was very quick to provide the solution.
Nishadh and his wife are a lovely couple who sent me lots of useful information about Kandy and helped with a smooth check in and check out. They have converted their family home into comfortable rooms, with a shared kitchen and lounge area, which I found very useful being on a long trip. The room was simple, clean and comfortable with a great rainfall shower and hot water. There was no A/C but the fan was enough for a very pleasant sleep. It's a great location, you can walk from the railway station (don't follow google maps, there is a shortcut across the railway tracks and through a small shopping mall) and an easy walk to the centre of town/the lake. Enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

PolandThe place has everything you need. The room upstairs is a bit warmer, but the fan worked well, and the temperature was acceptable. There is a well-equipped kitchen on-site that guests can use. The location is perfect for exploring Kandy on foot – everything is within walking distance. At night, it’s quiet, and the area feels safe. The owners are absolutely wonderful and took great care to ensure our comfort, not only by providing excellent service but also by offering extensive help and advice for the rest of our stay in Sri Lanka. They are a lovely family – Desh and Nishad are truly amazing people. I highly recommend this place for a short stay!
