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 KingdomLovely place, clean, quiet, and very peaceful. It has certain charm about it. The only negative thing for me was the lack of information. It would be a good idea to tell guests where and what time breakfast is. Also a bit more information on where to eat and what's to see in the local area.

United KingdomOnly 1 sheet on the bed.. it’s personally preference i know so didn’t mention it.
Booked at the last minute due to disappointment with Horizon Hostel & Private Rooms… so was very happy that this hotel was easy for Tuk Tuk to find, clean, comfortable with a lovely view of the forest from out window. The owner went above and beyond to help with my bad back after i’d injured it slipping down some steps in the rain A few days before. His balm massage made our next journey to Kandy bearable. 🙏🏻

United KingdomThe kottu could have been more tasty. I think they might have assumed we wouldn't want anything spicy!
The location is perfect for a visit to Lions Rock. 100m as the crown flies, or about 400m by car to the car park. This makes it ideal for sunrise visits, coming back for a typically large sri Lankan breakfast afterwards. The hotel is family run and we stayed in a newly refurbished room which was spacious and clean, with a nice balcony overlooking the gardens.

GermanyIt's a really nice and quiet place close to Lions Rock with a pool. The manager is a very friendly, helpful and interesting guy. He arranged a nice Elefant safari for me and another couple and always asked, if he can help. The food as well was very good and the staff so nice! Had a good time! It's just a bit out of the center so just have to know that.

United KingdomHot water shower a bit temperamental. Room/bathroom quite basic for the price.
Good sized breakfast, but would be nicer if the pancakes were warm. Good variety of local and continental. Rooms were a good size. Ac cools the room well. Water provided on first day. Nice grounds which they seem to be still developing, but this does not disturb the peace. Lovely dog, Teddy. Can walk through the trees to Sigiriya town as a shortcut. No route is lit though so bring a torch.
