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.).

AustraliaLoved everything about the property but we booked the room with a private pool during a time it was a little chilly and we didn't get to use it so we should have done better research! Doesn't take away from our review of the hotel though just a good tip for future travellers to check the weather before deciding which room!
The views were incredible, you literally see both the rocks and have nature all around you. The food was the best we had in Sri Lanka and the staff went above and beyond. Special shout out to Sumit who was fantastic! The owners were so kind and lovely and it was just such a lovely experience. Would recommend to everyone and will absolutely be back!

MexicoIt was quite noisy during the day with some work going on and I wanted a nap by the pool after a sunrise climb of the Lions Rock. Unfortunately the staff made quite a lot of noise shouting to each other. It was a bit remote and the breakfast wasn't as good as expected considering it's 5 star rating It was overpriced for what it was. It could do with better quality pillows.
The rooms are nice and spacious. The pool was lovely. The views of the rocks were great. Staff were welcoming & friendly.

AustraliaFantastic Hotel we stayed here while we climbed lions rock staff and management were absolutely fantastic. They accommodated us beyond all expectation. We had dinner at the restaurant the night and we had the Sri Lankan menu which was the best food I’ve had in Sri Lanka. Our host Samantha was very knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms were exceptionally clean and great decor, we were lucky enough to have a plunge pool which added that extra experience

BelgiumThe hotel is in a secluded place, make sure you check in before nightfall. Expect animals to walk on the roof at night, we were spooked on the first night, then we found out it was Civets. Always have a flashlight with you.
The view on Pidurangala and Sigiriya rocks is spectacular! Having breakfast in the tree hut is an experience by itself. Wildlife around is superbe. A special positive note for the staff, who were very kind and helpful. We asked for certain arrangements and it was executed perfectly.

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect
We loved everything about this place. The resort is a tranquil paradise, immersed in nature, facing the lion rock. The rooms are spacios, confortable and clean. The food was delicious. But what really made the difference is the staff, everyone was welcoming and caring. Samanta went above and beyond to make our stay special, arranging our safari, surprising us with breakfast on a lovely tree house on our last day; we had an amazing tine and we would highly recommend this hotel .

ItalyRoom/Villa -lack of coffee machine -privacy which is very limited. Food -Breakfast would probably work better as a la carte or buffet. -Restaurant is very pricey. -Dining chairs were very uncomfortable.
We stayed for 2 nights in the villa with private pool. Property is very nice with amazing view of Pidurangala and Lion's rock. Room/Villa Rooms are nice and spacious, with also small seating area. Amenities were good, kettle is present. Food Breakfast was good, not buffet but choice of European style or Sri Lankan set menu. Food quality was very good Service Staff is very kind and attentive and service was at high level, we were impressed. Overall we had a great stay. The property could benefit from some spa offerings and perhaps rethinking a bit the restaurant/breakfast concept.

Great honeymoon welcome. Fantastic location for views of both rocks although only able to walk to them at certain times (due to elephants 😮) so still need to get tuktuks to do most things Used the pool a lot Lovely food and delicious generous breakfast. They catered really well to us as vegans too which we appreciated! Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating

SpainThe best hotel during my trip to Sri Lanka, everything about is way above other hotels in a similar price range. The staff was excellent, helpful and provided great service, even helped us catch a gecko that managed to get into the room. The surroundings are stunning and you can even see some elephants while having breakfast. We had dinner and breakfast twice at the hotel and both times they were really good, one of the best restaurants during our stay in Sri Lanka.

SpainI would recommend to stay in one of the rooms instead of the tree house because they’re just more comfortable.
This is an eco luxury resort at its best. It’s a family run business that is a reflection of its owners , friendly , very professional and smart staff who look forward to catering all your needs and make your stay the most pleasant possible in a very relaxed manner. They make you feel as if like you were at home while you enjoy the astonishing views from the swimming pool that will stick in your mind for years to come. Nothing can surpass being in the middle of nature. If you can , stay for at least 3 nights to make the most out of it. You can use it as your base for visiting Polonnarawa , Minneriya park and Sigiriya . You can also walk from the hotel to either sigiriya rock or Pidarungala temple. The food is probably one of the best ( if not the best) we had in sri lanka. We stayed for dinner every night, no need to go out. One of the best experiences in Sri Lanka!

The dining room was well laid out with lovely views and the food was delicious. Loved the breakfast with the very tasty fruit and curd.

Staff were extremely helpful with everything - telling us how to get to different rocks, times of day, organising village tour for us and giving us a lift to the tour. We booked Mountain View and stayed in the birds nest which was fun and had good view. Nice pool too. Very easy to walk to both Sigiriya and Pidurangala (20-30 mins to both). Stayed on a recommendation and would recommend to others.

Our stay at Sigiriya King's Resort was amazing, and it was definitely our favorite hotel in Sri Lanka! The location was perfect, as we walked to Sigiriya King's Rock in about 25 minutes. The staff was lovely and the location was truly beautiful. They organized our safari for us, which was our favorite activity on the trip. But maybe best of all was the food--our favorite dining experience in the entire country by far!
