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.).

Lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome, even tough we were only there for one night. They happily arranged an early breakfast for us and booked a tuk tuk to take us to the station to catch our train. The room was large and comfortable with a big balcony overlooking Kandy lake.

GermanyWe had a really nice stay in Sun Dove Suite. The owners are really nice and helped us with everything we needed. The view from the balcony over the City is amazing. The only negative thing is, that you cannot open the window in the bathroom because of the monkeys and therefore it was always really wet and the towels couldn't dry.

United KingdomCan’t think of anything
It’s some distance from the centre, up a hill which requires a short tuk tuk to get to the centre but this is a good thing because you get a great view and since Kandy us quite busy it’s nice to be away from the noise and hustle&Bustle. The Homestay has beautiful hardwood floors and the en-suite bathroom is of the standard of European hotels. The hosts are very helpful and kind. Great stay at Sun Dove Suite! Thank you!

Beautiful, elevated location with a breathtaking view down on to the lake and the mountains. In the evening you can see a lit white Buddha statue and a temple, together with the lights of all the houses. Extremely clean. Very nice forniture and a comfortable big bed. The traditional Sri Lanka breakfast was large and delicious. The lady was extremely nice and even made a package with what I couldn’t eat from the breakfast and I could have a tasty takeaway snack on the train from Kandy to Ella. I loved everything!

United KingdomA fantastic small hotel with immaculate rooms, including the cleanest bathroom we’ve ever had in Asia! Very friendly, welcoming and helpful owners and staff. Only 12 minutes downhill walk to Kandy Lake but well worth getting a tuktuk back - it’s steep! We’d definitely stay here again.
