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.).

United KingdomA friendly, helpful, clean comfortable home stay in beautiful gardens. Our hosts were so helpful and knowledgeable fixing up an excellent safari at very short notice with a brilliant driver - we saw so many elephants and so close up. Our host drove us to Sigiriya rock at 4.45am in the morning without us asking, for our sunrise walk. We had the most amazing spread for breakfast - so much interesting food. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Everything here is amazing. Room is spacious, there is parking on-site, and is located a short walk away from the main street of Sigiriya. Breakfast is amazing and was one of the highlights! I also had to check-in really late, and the homestay owner was very accommodating to the request. We also booked a safari jeep tour (organised by the homestay) and we saw many elephants (around 60) that afternoon!

RomaniaOur stay was fantastic, and the host was incredibly hospitable and kind. He was always available to assist with any request and helped us arrange a safari, as well as transportation from Sigiriya to Kandy and Dambulla, all at very reasonable prices. The breakfast was delicious and also generously portioned. Each time, his wife treated us to a refreshing homemade lemonade, which made our mornings even more enjoyable. The property is ideally located, just a short 20-minute walk from Sigiriya’s top attractions, Lion Rock and Pidurangala. It is also conveniently close to excellent restaurants and bars. Overall, the value for money was exceptional, making it a perfect choice for our stay.

United Kingdom- A fabulous, family run home stay perfectly located an easy, safe, few minutes walk into the jungle. - Welcoming, characterful owners, friendly, smiling staff and harmless, curious family dogs. - Complimentary chilled drink on arrival. - Early check-in allowed (if the rooms available). - Very peaceful at night with only jungle sounds to enjoy and drift off to sleep to. - My room (#1) was homely, meticulously clean, well appointed (including a well stocked soft drinks mini-bar), efficient AC, fan and reliable WiFi. - Mosquito net hung from ceiling but never used as never had any mosquitoes in my room (that I saw). - My room had its own comfortably furnished, covered private terrace with clothes line, hangers and pegs. - Laundry service is available but very large bowl conveniently in bathroom for laundering your own clothes. - The owner organised a highly enjoyable all inclusive (drinks/transfers/park fees) five hour elephant jeep safari with his own driver, guide and comfortable 4X4. I saw well in excess of FIFTY wild elephants! Spectacular and memorable. - Very substantial, absolutely delicious breakfasts (thank you for my early breakfasts!) - I cannot recommend this wonderful guesthouse highly enough. As there are only a few rooms I would strongly recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment. - Everything about my stay was perfect from beginning to end. I could not have asked for more and I would 100% return. Thank you!!

United KingdomThe host was very welcoming and gave good advices on activities. He offered to try safari and called different places to see and make sure that we will get to see any elephants - ended up seeing 40 of them! Also, they dropped me at 5am for a sunrise hike, which is extremely kind of them. Lastly, the breakfast was very big and very delicious!

Delightful place right in the jungle but still very close to the town. It’s dark walking back from dinner in the town but I felt fine and I’m a solo female. They are a lovely couple with good English and looked after me very well. The owner has a jeep and will take you to Sigiriya rock early in the morning for a sunrise climb free of charge. He also offers lots of other things to do in the area. I only stayed one night, I wished I’d stayed longer. Sigiriya is the most stunning place.
