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 Kingdomhost was surprised to see us as we had booked only an hr beforehand but all was well and had a cup of coffee made for us in no time . Unfortunately the option for dinner was not offered but she walked us only 50m down the road to a family run restaurant which was good enough for our needs. Room was fine, clean with AC . struggled with the mosquito net due to bad positioning (needs to be sited centrally over bed ) and AC blows directly onto the bed so took a while to figure out how to not have the net blowing directly onto the body …. this was the only issue we had . Everything else was great , the hubby was a diamond and a true gentleman who walked us to the start of the mini hike up the rock at 5.15am to ensure we were safe ( elephants ) please remember to give a tip for this kind service …. Apparently we were the first in years to do so which we think is bad form ! breakfast was delicious and filling and set us up for our cycle onwards . Our host even drove his bike a few km down the road to catch us up to give us a plug adapter we had left in the room ! what a star . the location is fantastic if intending to climb the pidurangala rock for sunrise and unmatched vista of the more well known Lion rock . everyone else was having to catch a taxi or tuk tuk from town to the starting point and for us it was literally a 5 min stroll ! town is obviously a few km away so if wanting the nightlife then factor in a tuk tuk ride there and back .

United KingdomIn all honesty it was just such amazing value for money and location that we cannot complain about anything
Our first home stay and value for money was amazing. The couple were lovely and kind and helpful. They put themselves out for us to the extent of getting up at 5 to show us the way by torch light to the mountain. They provided a lovely breakfast and dinner was really fantastic. Lovely home cooked SriLanksn food.

ChinaI'm not going to say everything was perfect in this place, the only thing inconvenient is that there is wild elephant near the neighborhood, so it is not recommended to walk around after dark
Apparently the landlord is not good at photography, I chose this homestay simply because it is close to the lion rock. But when I got to the place, it is a very beautiful and clean yard, much more beautiful than the photo uploaded by the landlord. (Please look at photo I uploaded) Although the landlord was not so good at English, but both of them were patient and communicated with us very well. The landlord accompanied us to the foot of the Pindurangala view point since there are wild elephant during dawn, every time we returned to the homestay, landlady was waiting, smiling happily, treating us with three cups of cold green orange juice. My wife said during the whole Sri Lanka trip, this is the only place that she felt like wanting to go back to. The landlord helped arrange the safari to Eco park, the taxi to Polonaruwa, all the driver they introduced to us are so nice and worth trusting.

GreeceBy far the friendliest people! The couple that runs the place are so welcoming, always willing to help and provide you with anything that can make your stay more comfortable. The best kottu we had in Sri Lanka! The green orange juice is a must! And all made with love and served with a huge smile! It really felt like home! Another big asset is the location: just 5 minutes walking distance from Piduringala rock, 20 minutes away from the entrance of Sigiriya site. Super quite, definitely NOT TOURISTY (far from the busy area). We can't thank you enough for this unforgettable stay! Take care and see you next time!

This is the best guest house in our journey. We hoped to stay longer. Even though this stay is surrounded by nature, there were no inconvenient. (For example, hot water was available, and the room was clean.) The owners served perfect Kottu for dinner and took us to Pirdungala Rock to see the sunrise!

GreeceEverything was simply amazing, from the location of the homestay, right next to Pidurangala, to the amenities. But above all, what makes the stay in this homestay memorable is the hosts Puspa and Siri. They are a wonderful couple who will fo anything possible, so that their guests feel like at home. Puspa's cooking is simply phenomenal, don't miss out on her Kottu. I was even invited to celebrate Siri's birthday, together with the rest of the family. Truly wonderful people in a lovely homestay.

It is a short walk to the start of Pidurangala Rock trail which means it is perfect for sunrise/sunset climbs. Quiet, peaceful, remote location in the jungle. We had one of the best Kottu's of our trip courtesy of Pushba which came with an incredible coconut curry.
