Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

New ZealandThe staff were so generous and helpful, they went above and beyond expectations to make sure we had a lovely and comfortable stay! Such a serene location among the forest, and fantastic breakfast options - we also enjoyed the archery and shooting activities very much as well! Couldn’t have had a better experience, highly recommend

Luxembourg(The place is getting an extension with ~2x14 bungalows in the next years. We saw a promotional plan in the lobby during our stay in 04/2025. We don't know when they start the work...)
The hotel has only 10 bungalows, each disconnected from the others and "in the jungle"...it really allows you to disconnect from your daily stress! We stayed there for 2 days and really enjoyed the place.

United KingdomA beautiful hotel which we (me, my husband and 2 teenage children) loved! We stayed 2 nights and wished we had stayed 3! The staff were lovely. The pool area was lovely. The rooms and the sense of peace and tranquility were fabulous. From here we climbed Sigiriya and went on an elephant safari which were both amazing. They also have pool, table tennis, a spa, archery. I’d recommend!

United KingdomIt was a little remote but this suited us as we booked half board and the restaurant breakfast and dinner were lovely.
The rooms had everything that you could possibly need including ironing board, coffee making facilities, safe and a torch. The staff were exceptional and were very accommodating to our needs. It had a lovely swimming pool with hot tub which was perfect after a day exploring the local area.

United KingdomProperty is very severe to look at outside and in communal areas. Needs flowering shrubs or pots, statues to soften exterior, and pictures, wall hangings, flowering pots inside to make it less functional in appearance.

United KingdomNothing at all everything was perfect
The hotel truly exceeded my expectations, pictures do not do justice to how beautiful and luxurious this hotel is. We only stayed a night sadly but if I was to come back I would book 2/3 nights here. Sigiriya is an absolutely beautiful part of Sri Lanka wish I stayed longer. The hotel staff were so kind and went above and beyond we honestly felt like royalty all the way from arrival to departure we were well taken care of. I would honestly highly highly recommend this hotel. The bedroom was really big and beautiful and it had all the amenities you could need.
