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.).

The surroundings are just breathtakingly beautiful and the paddy field attracts such a variety of birds, we could have just spent the day on the terrace watching birds. The room is spacious with a very comfortable bed, and the hosts were absolutely wonderful serving us delicious breakfast, telling us about Sigiriya and Sri Lanka and even helping my partner who felt unwell during our stay.

United KingdomCompared with other places we stayed, it’s not such great value compared with the comfort of the room. Also, the view from the main balcony is blocked by palm trees - the rear view over rice paddies is better.
Rooms are relatively comfortable and instead of windows, they have anti-mosquito meshing, leaving you a bit closer to nature. The location is also good, about a 10-min walk from the main strip, so less street noise (although lots of bird song) and staff are very friendly even if their English is quite limited. The breakfast was enormous!

GermanyDuring the night there was a lot of noise from the jungle but this is natural and totally fine with earplugs to sleep at night.
The location is really nice as it is in the middle of the rice fields. We enjoyed our stay a lot. The host was just the cutest person and arranged our safari and trips. He even brought us to different locations with his car, cause it was raining. The breakfast was really good and we tried different Sri Lankan food. Overall we would really recommend staying there!

The little hut was clean, cozy and we loved the view over the rice fields at night. We could also see Sigiriya rock from our terrace. Breakfast was delicious! Our host was super nice, helpful and open and we had very interesting conversations! We can totally recommend! Many thanks!

We had an amazing stay, in the middle of the nature with view on rice fields and Sigirya rock. Definitely one of the best stay we had in Sri Lanka. Also the very friendly owner suggested us a driver, who helped and escorted us for the rest of our trip with very competitive prices and amazing service (no tourists scams). Very recommended if you need support for drivers all around Sri Lanka - contact as follow if anyone need it, he replies on WhatsApp: his name is Isuru, +94712766332

AustriaThe location with its view on the Lion‘s Rock in the middle of nature. But for light sleepers: it is a bit noisy due to various animals in the surrounding fields, further it gets very bright in the morning.

The location is impeccable, the view is superb, the overall quality and beauty of the area is just outstanding. You can see the Lion Rock just from your balcony, and you can get to it by foot. On the other hand you’ll have a view over the rice field (hence the name of the place), and you can also walk to a nearby lake. The host is very welcoming and friendly. He owns a woodcarving shop which is located nearby and worth a visit (we’ve got some lovely souvenirs from him with a substantial discount)

A great secluded bungalow located close to Sigiriya Rock and an easy walk to the main road with restaurants. The view over the rice paddy was picturesque and there is also a nearby lake with good viewpoints. The owner was super friendly and helped us make the most of our stay, even with continuous rain for the 3 days we stayed. Recommend the elephant safari if you have time. Breakfast was also delicious!
