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.).

AustriaGood location to explore Sigirya (you can walk) and Pidurangala (8 minutes by tuk tuk). You can hear a lot of animals at night, which was very cool. AC worked, bathroom was fine and the staff helpful. You can eat dinner directly at the lodge which is nice because it is a bit further away from the town.

SwitzerlandFood was standard for Sri Lanka. The place had building work going on around our cabin which was a bit noisy.
Location is great. About 20 minutes walk to the lion rock. Lovely viewpoint of the rock on the grounds (both during the day and at sunrise) and a very peaceful location. Staff were very friendly and gave us a nice lift to Dambulla afterwards. Deluxe cabins were very nice and new.

ItalyThe food is fine, nothing exceptional.
The value of this accommodation stands in its location. The view point at only 2 min walking is amazing. The sunrise on both Lion’s rock and Pidurangala was exceptional. The rooms are made of wood and peculiarly nice. The staff is willing to help you and organize your next steps.

United KingdomIt’s fine if you know what to expect (and adds to the fun!) but it is in the middle of the jungle so the power may go out and the water may run out. Wouldn’t recommend eating here - there was a road with lots of restaurants on around the corner. Also lots of building going on on the property so not always peace and quiet to enjoy the jungle noises.
Excellent location, easy walk to the base of lion’s rock ( especially good if you’re planning on doing the sunrise hike as it will be dark). We stayed in a treehouse which was really fun, amazing views. Comfortable bed.

• Warm and Friendly Staff – The hospitality was exceptional; the staff were always welcoming and accommodating. • Peaceful Location – Surrounded by nature, it felt like a serene escape while still being close to Sigiriya’s attractions. • Comfortable Stay – The room was cozy and had all the basic amenities needed for a pleasant visit. • Good Value for Money – A great choice for those looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable stay.

Nice accomodation. The inside of the place is very nice. You have a nice viewpoint if you walk a little bit higher. It is a bit further from the center. I mostly walked, it is about 30 min walk, or only 7 min drive with a tuktuk.

United KingdomJust be careful about wild elephants if walking to lions rock early in the morning as we found out afterwards the route gets a lot of Elephant traffic. It is also a little further from restaurants than some other places to stay in sigiriya.
A nice comfortable and affordable place to stay in sigiriya. The viewpoint out the back is lovely to go see. The walkable distance to lions rock is also very convenient.
