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.).

PolandThe hotel was amazing. We absolutely loved the views and the balconies. The guy working in the hotel hosted us as well as possible. He made sure that we got everything we need and went extra mile as well. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. They asked us the day before what we want to eat and drink and what time should they prepare the breakfast. Also they packed us lunchbox for later for our trip without even asking, which was so kind! The place was easily accessible by tuk tuk (10 minutes from the city center). You can use PickMe app. We can 100% recommend this place.

GermanyNothing, everything was perfect!!!
Most amazing place to stay in Kandy! The view is amazing, room is spacious and very clean, location is up the hill but a quick tuktuk ride away from town and the lake. Up on arrival we have been welcomed with tea and local treats. Breakfast was huge and delicious! But most importantly I want to point out the amazing staff that helped us in making our stay so comfortable. From organizing the train ride to Ella, to ordering Tuktuks and pointing us to the right and most beautiful places in town. We can only recommend staying here!! Thank you very much!!

ItalyEverything was perfect. Really clean place, attention to the clients and nice people, especially Sarath who helped us in everything. The breakfast was really good and they prepared lots of things. For the travel around Kandy we called Austin who has a tuktuk nearby the hotel and he was really helpful and he explained us lots of things. His number: 0766517623.

RussiaNothing. Best value for its money.
Everything was amazing. Super clean and comfortable room with breathtaking view. Super helpful staff. They gave us some tips about the city, arranged tuk-tuk for good price, gave us tea when we were tired in the evening. Delicious breakfast, and it was so much food that we took sandwichees with as for having lunch in the city. Everything was just perfect. I would stay again for sure.

LithuaniaIt is quite messy in the building.
The staff were super welcoming and helpful. The view is pretty. The location is super uncomfortable - it is too far and too steep to walk, and Tuktuk or Uber is not coming to the location.

AustriaTo be honest, we don’t understand why this place has such good reviews. We didn’t really have the best stay here, the service is unpleasant. - Wifi was not working well - Water from the shower was cold to lukewarm - Breakfast was not good at all, 1) it is not freshly prepared, 2) we felt like we got the leftovers from the guests before us and we had hair on the fruit platter - In the morning you can smell the kitchen - The bed was too short - The host was arguing and discussing with us, although we were talking from different things, so communication was hard - They were asking us over and over again at what time and what we want to have for breakfast as they just forgot all the time - We couldn’t have breakfast in peace as everyone is passing by or the owner is asking you the third time what your plans are for kandy - You can hear the cars but that’s probably due to the hectic city - Not enough power outlets - Salah time of the Muezzin starts at about 5am, prepare to be woken up as mosque must be nearby - Too expensive for what you get
Nice views. Host gives you recommendations of what you can do.

AustraliaConfusion about payment, cash only and was asked to go out at night to get money from ATM Location is fantastic for the view but really need a Tuk tuk into town, not a problem but worth to consider especially as solo traveller
Amazing view Fantastic choice at breakfast and very tasty, however as a tourist I am conscious about food waste. Maybe they could offer small portions or only bring what guests have ordered to help with this
