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.).

AustraliaDon’t let the unfinished facade discourage you. It really is a diamond in the rough with the most wonderful staff who will make you feel so welcome. The staff are the heartbeat of the property.
Staff were ever willing to go above and beyond to assist our comfort at all times. Exceptional Sri Lankan food, not overly spicy and very flavourful.

United KingdomLocation was a little further out of town than we expected due to an issue with location on booking.com. But we hired a moped from the hotel which was perfect for going out to town for dinner etc.
Lovely bed, aircon worked great. Balcony with great view. Clean bathroom with proper toilet! Staff are very kind and welcoming. Breakfast included in price which was great!

New ZealandPLEASE BE AWARE: the hotel is still under massive renovation (jan 2024). Once finished our review might be outdated. As of now: There was no wifi. Our room still had wires coming through the walls, switches not working and bulbs not existing. No mosquito net, which meant we got bitten lots. You can’t use the pool loungers and the pool area is not really inviting as also still under renovation. Photos do not show this accurately. What was quite funny was the fact that the bathroom wall incl toilet is completely see-through which means you can watch your partner go to the toilet while lying in bed. :D Not what you expect for the money we paid (this was meant to be a treat). The roads are bad, tuk tuks can barely get there. Location is far from everything.
The lady who hosted us was amazing, and her home made cooking was really good. She made this average experience a good one. We can see the potential and beauty of the hotel once fully developed. The bed was great. The view from the pool is nice.

India⭐☆☆☆☆ Our stay at Wild Fortress in Sigiriya was hands down the worst experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, things were a disaster. The first red flag came immediately when we were asked to pay the full amount in cash within two minutes of entering the property, without being given time to even inspect the rooms. The rooms themselves were a complete mess, but the bathrooms were an absolute nightmare. None of the bathroom doors in any of the rooms we were shown worked properly. Some doors were broken and had no knobs, while others didn’t even fit the frame—imagine a bigger door and a smaller opening, so you couldn’t close it at all! Forget about locks; you couldn’t even push the doors to stay shut. The lack of privacy was shocking, and it made the stay unbelievably uncomfortable. When we raised these issues, the staff casually told us, “This is how it is,” and made no effort to resolve anything. They showed us multiple rooms, and all of them had the same problem. It felt like a bad joke. Adding to the horror, the toilets were filthy and infested with frogs. Every time you sat down, you had to worry about a frog jumping out of the commode. It was disgusting, terrifying, and completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the rooms had no basic facilities—no TV, no food, and the air conditioning didn’t work, leaving us to sweat through the night. The staff showed no concern or accountability, and when we complained, they simply shrugged and refused to adjust the price, claiming that part of the money goes to Booking.com. This place is not just poorly maintained; it’s downright unlivable. The bathrooms alone make this property a complete disaster, and the lack of care and professionalism from the staff only made it worse. If you value your money, comfort, and sanity, stay as far away as possible from Wild Fortress. This was truly the stay from hell, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. 0/100 would recommend.

Sri LankaCleanliness has to improve. That was a major let down.The room we were given wasn't clean and there were too many mosquitos. There was no television and there was nothing Deluxe about the room. The bathroom was unclean with a used tissue roll and a small bar of soap. All the taps were leaking and there was no proper water pressure in any of the shower heads or tap. There was no bin in the washroom or a place to hang your towel. The bed had not been dusted and the floor was very sticky and dusty beneath our feet. We were not given the breakfast menu and our choices were not considered. We were given milk rice which is not something we liked especially with salmon. But the staff was very accommodating and quickly provided us with toasted bread, butter jam and fried eggs. The hotel pool was filthy and definitely wasn't inviting to a visitor. The hotel staff took cash in payment and didn't give us a receipt. There are no credit card payment facilities at the hotel.
The location of the hotel was fine. The view was beautiful but the positive aspect of my stay at the hotel stops from there. And the staff were friendly and accommodating.

United KingdomThe Wi-Fi wasn’t working well. But it was a good time to switch off. Towels and sheets were clean, but stained
I was a little apprehensive about booking here, as it didn’t have the best reviews. But let me tell you they were wrong. Upon arrival we were greeted with the kindest customer service and hospitality we have ever received, the room was stunning and spacious right by the pool, the family were so kind. Yes they have renovations happening, but our room was finished, the pool was clean and loungers very relaxing. They organised a safari for us, which I can also recommend. The location is more rural, but we had a tuktuk so wasn’t a problem. BEST FOOD EVER!!! This place will be amazing when completed, and we are lucky to have experienced it at such a good price.
