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...).

Czech RepublicThe hosts are excellent cooks and very friendly. They gave us great recommendations for trips in the area. The rooms were clean, and mosquito nets were available, though we didn’t need them. Every day, we enjoyed watching monkeys outside at the same time—they weren’t a nuisance, just fun to observe.

GermanyWe had an excellent stay! Good bed, warm shower and a nice terrace. The breakfast was simple but very good, which is what we needed. The host is a lovely lady and she helped us with our bus trip to Kandy and other tourist information. The bus to Kandy can be taken directly in front of the street.

United KingdomLittle room Improvements and little improvements to the bathroom.
The host Chathuri was just absolutely amazing, the hostess with the mostest. Chathuri organised all our transport in and around Dambulla and also onto Kandy. Nothing was too much of an ask for her and it was all done e with the best smile ever! The room can be improved with little things like maybe a mosi net (we were eaten alive in the night) and side lamps so not to be blinded by the main light when waking up. This is a stay that is not about the room but about Chathuri. The location of the Inn is also spot on.

Very good accommodation in an ideal location with an amazing price-performance ratio. The rooms were very clean and Wi-Fi was also available. The owners of the accommodation deserve special mention! The hostess was extremely friendly and helpful. She organized a trip to Sigiriya & Pidurangala Rock for us, cooked with us and helped us stopping the bus when we left. We would definitely come back again!

United KingdomThe roof of the room is not soundproof so you WILL be woken up at 6am... The monkeys are nice to watch in the garden, but if you're tired then the very loud banging at sunrise won't help. The bathroom is functional but the mirror and fittings all need a good clean.
The family are very friendly and helpful and kind. The WiFi wouldn't connect so the lady brought the router right into my room so I could call home! She also brought me an unexpected treat - delicious homemade popcorn was a lovely surprise while I was stuck due to presidential election curfew, that was so sweet and thoughtful.The bed is comfy and the AC is great. Breakfast was also nice, simple and tasty.

Germanythere is not much space to store your things. Breakfast was ok but not much choice. Of course there are only two appartments for rent. There is only one electronic plug in the room. We cancelled the second night as Dambulla is not a very nice city for tourists.
very friendly family. Helped a lot with a driver for the next destination. The rooms were very clean and the terassa would be very nice but we had 38 °C so it was too hot outside and in the evening there were many moskitos as it is normal in the area. The air con was fantastic and very quiet. The price was absolute ok.

AustraliaWow!! Chanthuri and Shan are the most welcoming, joyful and hospitable family. No request was ever too much trouble. We were made to feel like part of the family. So we extended our stay. Our children (15,12 & 7) did not want to leave… a home from home. The room was spotless and cleaned with linen change after 2 days. Comfortable bed, air con great, mosquito nets provided, instant hot water, wifi, walking distance to Cave Temples and a short tuk tuk ride to town (300rupees). Little store next door is convenient for snacks. Great little restaurant (Attilah) down the street for evening meal. They helped arrange day trip out to Sigirya, traditional village and Hurlulu Eco Park. The guy they recommended (Hasintha) was an absolute legend and waa very flexible. Some may consist a minus but we found incredibly entertaining the multiple troops of monkeys that make their way through this place during the day. We did not fill bothered by them at all… just don’t leave your food or rubbish lying about. By far the BEST place we have stayed in Sri Lanka.

I liked how welcoming the host was, both her and her husband were such a warm, kind couple who couldn’t do more if they tried. The property was super unique and definitely worth a visit if you are staying in Dambulla. Breakfast was amazing too! Our hostess made so much fuss of us and recommended a lovely place to head to for dinner, The Golden Palace- best Sri Lankan Curry! The room was very big with 2 double beds and a big bathroom. Would 100% recommend to all of you!

IndiaAccess to the room was very difficulty and the room was not clean. The stay was not comfortable due to multiple reasons. Too much of mosquitoes and irritating smell. Toilet commode was shaky and not permanently fixed. Breakfast was provided but the place was not hygienic with no options for breakfast and getting dinner was also a challenge at hotel. There is good scope of improvement to provide better facilities and make stay comfortable. This is not recommended for family stay if it does not get improved.
There is nothing to significantly to highlight positive other than staff being friendly.
