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...).

United KingdomWe wish we could have stayed longer.
The property is in a stunning spot at the end of a private and quiet path. It overlooks a luscious green rice paddy, with Lions Rock off in the distance. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. There are even nice little touches, like washing powder for your clothes. The hosts were amazing, they helped us so much with travel and with things to do. They picked us up from the station, dropped us off at our next stay. We also arranged travel to all the local sights through them, and then the safari with them as a really special experience. We saw lots and lots of elephants. Nothing was too much for them, and everything was an incredibly fair and good price. The breakfast is also delicious and filling! Easily a highlight of our Sri Lanka trip. I couldn’t shout about them enough! The family made us feel so welcome and made it a trip we will never forget. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Sri LankaThe hosts were extremely kind. We felt very welcome and extremely comfortable in the room. It was spacious and had good facilities. The location on its own is fantastic. You have an amazing view on lions rock, right behind a rice field and if you're lucky, there might be an elephant walking around. The location seems kind of off the road, but you can easily access everything by foot. Breakfast was also very delicious and we had something different every morning. Highly recommend to stay here, if you visit Sigeriya.

United KingdomThis a great place at the very end of a lane about a KM from the main road. The views from the spacious terrace out to Sigirya Rock were awesome. The room itself was clean, modern and spacious and a really good size. The breakfasts were great too with a different selection of traditional dishes and fruit each morning. It was simple to get from the accommodation to Sigirya and with a tuktuk we were able to explore the local area. The photos were accurate and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing - it was all superb!
Everything was perfect, best accommodation in Sri Lanka so far. Nice room, absolutely spotless and lots of little extra touches such as washing powder for clothes and a kettle with teabags. Breakfast was incredible and the host even made us a breakfast to go when we had a trip to see the elephants (we seen loads). This place is down a road / track from the main area with a wonderful view of Lions Rock.

United KingdomA bit further out from restaurants and attractions like Lion’s rock / Pidurangala rock which meant we had to get a TukTuk which the hotel did arrange for us (was just quite expensive)
Great view of lion’s rock from the property! Large room and bathroom, both very clean. Staff very friendly! Good Sri Lankan breakfast and option to have dinner.

Down a lane next to the paddy fields, a 10 min walk from ‘town‘ sits two generous and well appointed guest rooms looking over the garden. A perfect spot to spend a night before or after lion rock. My hosts son does mini safaris at a very reasonable cost. Unforgettable memories made.

United KingdomBit of a long walk into town, albeit mitigated by the host driving us into town/hiring a scooter.
This little Homestay in Sigiriya is iconic! Our hosts couldn’t possibly have done more to make us feel welcome. They greeted us on arrival and showed us our comfortable room with fab AC. 5 minutes and it was cooled down in there. You then walk out on the veranda to an incredible view of Lion’s Rock. Amazing. The host provided great recommendations (he actually planned most of our days for us) - everything was perfect. He would drive us into Sigiriya (he insisted!) and organised our safari and scooter for the day. We ate there one night, and enjoyed an amazing family meal which was delicious. If you want value for money in Sigiriya - stay here!

New ZealandWe liked that it was right next to a lake and we could watch the local fishermen pull in the nets. The property is very clean and the family who own it very kind and helpful. They picked us up from the train station in a jeep (for 4000 LKR) and we used that same jeep for safari the next day (12000 LKR). On safari we saw many, many elephants. The property was about a 10 minute, pleasant walk from town. Each morning we were served with a filling, delicious breakfast. We also ate dinner here and were very happy with it. Sanju dropped us off at our next destination (Polo) in the jeep. We were going to stay for 2 nights but ended up staying for 3. We would definitely recommend this place to others.
