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...).

United KingdomPity there was no air con, but it is an eco-lodge after all!! But the fans certainly helped.
Great location. Exceptionally helpful staff. Guided tour of the forest was excellent, English speaking guide was particularly good, enticing all wonderous rainforest creatures large and small to venture out. A great rain forest experience - even to the green tree pit viper in the tree just outside the dinning area - quiet a sighting.

Amazing location, staying directly in the beautiful rainforest. The pool was really good after a trek through the Singharaja park. Wildlife all around you. Going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of the rainforest especially in the tent accommodation.

United KingdomWe stayed in 360 Rainforest so we could do the Sinharaja Forest trek. We stayed one night in one of the tents. It had incredible views over looking the river and the rainforest canopy beyond. If you want an authentic experience of being in the rainforest with all the bird and monkey wildlife around you, and a few smaller critters even closer, then this is the place for you! Close by is a hostel which can play loud music at times but we realised that before booking and it didn't bother us at all. The unique feeling of being right in the jungle with the incredible wildlife and views around you is what is amazing about this beautiful place. The manager, James, was extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for him. The food we had in the evening and morning was very tasty. Being right next to the park entrance means you can just walk 5 mins with your guide and you are in the amazing rainforest. Our guide Domidu was superb, he made sure we saw masses of wildlife and he was very knowledgeable. We saw a few birds (you need to start at 6am to see more), two types of monkey and lots of snakes, lizards, scorpions, spiders and millipedes - all up close! The walk we did was ‘out and back’ to a beautiful waterfall with a pool you can swim in and for us it took 4 hours in total. The 360 Rainforest tent and the Sinharaja rainforest trek was a very unique and memorable experience in our 2 week trip around Sri Lanka.

NetherlandsFood is very, very tasteful but the restaurant area can be improved.
The manager James is extremely helpful and flexible to help us with our stay and onward travels during our stay in the 360 rainforest lodge. The location is perfect next to the river and at walking distance from the Sinharaja rainforest. The guide we used had such a sharp eye to spot wildlife and point it out to us. The next day he took us to another entrance to find the Blue Magpie and Drogon and we also saw the Purple Faced Monkey. the swimming pool is very refreshing after jungle trekking.

South AfricaThe hostel that played thumping tunes until midnight is just crazy. Sitting on the edge of a unique rain forest hearing birds and frogs and rain being drowned out by music is insane. This is NOT only 360’s issue but all the accommodation in this valley would be affected by it. What a pity for everyone in the area. This is not the place for it.
Great location on the edge of the rain forest with a very short walk to the main entrance. The pool was stunning! The staff bent over backwards to help with anything at all and the food was absolutely sublime! Our chalet was rustic and lovely although we did have some electricity challenges but it’s the jungle! It was amazing to sit outside in the evening and watch the storms roll through.

Good property very near to Sinharaja Rainforest. You can enter the Forest walking distance with a guide whom you can book from the hotel. Very quiet and simple place. You can have rest, enjoy the nature, the calm. The team is kind.

GermanyUnfortunately, there are a lot of wild dogs on the grounds that bark and howl loudly at each other, which I personally found quite annoying. The cabin is not in the best condition, the fan on the ceiling was so loud that I could not use it, but I was immediately organized another standing fan. The last few meters of the road to the accommodation are also a bit difficult to pass - my TukTuk driver made it, but you should be aware of this.
The manager and his team were very friendly, courteous and attentive. The food was okay and served in front of my little cabin, which was very pleasant! The location is also great, right at the entrance to the reserve, on the edge of the jungle, so there were often visits from (nocturnal!) animals. The pool with a view of the jungle was exceptionally beautiful, I was very lucky to have it all to myself during my 2-day stay. I was also arranged a tour with a guide in the jungle, which I really enjoyed!

In the accommodation next to this one was a party until 3 am. That was pretty exhausting but we don’t know if this is a common problem or if it was a special occasion. WiFi and the fan were not the best. AC would be great

United KingdomIt was rather noisy from another group of guests elsewhere on our first night which spoilt the ‘back to nature’ expectations. The restaurant was a little disappointing. We didn’t see as many varieties of birds as we’d hoped. But we still loved our stay.
Breakfast was generous and very nice. Although it was difficult to get to because the road was closed once there the location was minutes from the gate into the rainforest. We had an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable and lovely. He pointed out things we would never have seen without him. It cost 25 dollars per person organised by the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The tents were fantastic, no zips , no insects, lovely position overlooking the river. Although it took us 3hours to get there from the coast we would strongly recommend a visit.

Germanyjust be aware that you need to be picked up at a bridge to go to the place as it is in the forest area and it is a rocky road. it was nice for me, I write this only as a warning 🙂
Being in the rainforest and in nature was a very good experience. You wake up to the sounds of birds and can see many different species. The nature itself is amazingly green. Sinharaja itself is very beautiful. There are a few activities in the area, like hiking to a waterfall or bird watching. You can also visit the tea factory nearby. also, just chilling in the room is also very nice. the wood houses were clean. The food was also very tasty. the staff were friendly.

NetherlandsWe were unlucky to have a large Sri Lankan family gathering going on and the music and noise went on all night!! A shame in such a tranquil place. But the 2nd evening they were gone and we could appreciate the amazing jungle experience. The tents were very basic, but in fact they work really well. Very spacious, with a large attached bathroom. The insects were much less of a problem than we expected! The camp itself is much smaller than we expected, and maybe not as remote - there are several other hotels and guest houses nearby.. But the tents have a great location overlooking the river and surrounded by the noise of the jungle.
The staff were very helpful and the setting is lovely - right next to the National Park entrance. Also our guide for the 5 waterfalls hike was great. We enjoyed our stay. Recommend if you want to be in a real forest setting close to the park entrance.
