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...).

Sri LankaThe main road near the property is usually jam packed with traffic, making it slightly difficult to go to Kandy Town during rush hour, nevertheless this is a perfect property!
The property is clean and hosts a variety of facilities from two communal kitchens to free laundry, the rooms have adapters and are extremely comfortable. The owner is an extremely kind man, super friendly and accommodating!

PolandIt's a bit out of the city center but you can easily take a public bus (the bus stop is near).
Everything is so well organised, with labels so you don't have to wonder. You can do the laundry for free and there is space at the rooftop to hang them.

Free washing was a blessing(!). The staff were polite and kind. Area was peaceful. I would stay here again.

ItalyThe stay is 30 mins walking to the center, a few minutes with a tuktuk. The room is clean and with a stunning view of the mountains around. The host, Yamada, and his assistants were very friendly and helpful. The common room has many board games and also a useful notebook in which anyone can write some suggestions to other travelers. Laundry is a great pro also, our clothes were dry the day after even though it was raining.

United StatesThis is the best place we’ve stayed in all Sri Lanka … but what makes this place even more special is the manager “Yama”… he makes everyone feel like their home and the vibe is unbeatable …. We loved board game night, the price quality ratio is unbeatable and you have groceries, restaurants and easy access into the city center + train station

The staff were very lovely and helpful. They sent us lots of recommendations and photos of things to do in Kandy. The location was ok but still close to the centre. You did have the option of using the kitchen facilities, we didn’t use these so not able to rate them. We really enjoyed the view from our room.

Sri LankaAlmost nothing, the bed was bit disruptive when rolling left to right.
I love how they have thought about the guest. Literally they had organised the room well. Dustbin under the table chair included. Nice view close to the room. Only thing I missed is a mirror but later I understood what standard they follow and how helpful is that. They offer Refrigerator, Microwave & Ironing board + yoga mets for your well being in the hallway. I truly appreciate that input behalf of the guests. I am amazed & thrilled 😁 Spacious room, clean linen & cozy bed, towels & bedsheet separately & last but not least hot water shower with clean toilet. Amazing 😍 I really enjoyed my stay there.

PortugalThis felt like the perfect place to rest in busy Kandy. Even though it’s slightly far from the center, it’s super easy (and cheap) to access by bus or tuktuk. The room was super comfortable, good shower (above average), free laundry (amazing) and a kitchen very well equipped, with some books available as well. Yama is very nice and helpful! Really recommend this place
