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.).

NetherlandsWe loved staying with Jagath for three days. He and his family were so warm, welcoming, and helpful. He had good knowledge of the local area and gave us good recommendations, and organised our transfer to Tangalle. The food was incredible. Jagath’s wife cooked 5 or 6 different curries every night, which were all delicious. Rooms are simple and clean with wonderful views of the landscape. The train track runs just below the property so you can see the train a couple of times a day (no noise disturbance though). Thank you Jagath for taking such good care of us!

United KingdomOur room was a little draughty but we were given plenty of extra blankets. The weather was pretty cold and most of the time I'm sure you wouldn't even notice😀
The family were very helpful and eager to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was very nice and the views superb. The location is perfect for walking.

South AfricaEverything was perfect!
Jagath is the most helpful and friendly host. And what he can’t offer, he hands over to his wife. She’s the powerhouse in the kitchen. What a meal! We had dinner on both nights. So delicious and exciting to see the food on the table. What a treat. There’s no WiFi here, so bring your own data, or ignore your phone and rather focus on the view. If mosquitos are a problem, Jagath will provide a net. We slept so well, and we visited twice in two weeks. Can definitely recommend this Homestay. We’ll be back!

Czech RepublicWe booked one night in Rosenka and than one more,because we felt so good and welcomed there! We were surprised by excellent dinner when we came to the accomodation (it was the owners daughter celebration) and the whole family was very friendly and communicative and helpful. We felt at home with them. Our rooms were elegant, clean and had magnificent view to the valley and mountains. They give us extra blankets not to feel cold at night. We could choose from two types of tastefull breakfasts and got a lot of interesting information about Sri Lanka and Haputale. It is close to Lipton's Seat and beautiful Diyaluma falls from Haputale. We can recommend Rosenka for 100%!!!

Sri LankaThe rooms were separated by wooden walls, so you can hear the conversations of the adjoining rooms. Which is a disturbance specially in early mornings.
The view is excellent in the balcony rooms. Mr. Jagath and his wife was very kind and helpful.

Hong KongWhile the room provided a spectacular view, the price for this was a rather exposed position with quite a lot of wind noise. For similar reasons there was some minor water leakage from rain driven through the windows by the wind. This did'nt bother me, but it might some guests.
The room had an excellent view over the valley - albeit obscured by the mist much of the time. The food menu was overall good value for money.
