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...).

AustraliaSmell of rooms was nice but a bit too strong
Very helpful and kind staff. The host chauffeured us to a wedding venue at odd times of the night where uber/taxi is not an option. Breakfast was omelette, tea/coffee, fruits, toast, and was delicious. Location is peaceful.

PolandWould be good to have continental breakfast as an alternative to Sri Lankan offering.
Charming little hotel, which feels like an art gallery. We loved it’s classical design (though it’s newly built!). Location on the dikes is actually very good, as there is no noise other than coming from birds or monkeys :). Attention to detail is impressive. Super clean. Food is delicious. Hotel staff goes extra mile so that the stay is comfortable and memorable, and they were very helpful in arranging transportation for us.

The staff were amazing, so attentive and helped arrange a tuk tuk to take us around. It was nice that it away from the hustle and bustle of Dambulla. They cooked for us two nights and the food was very good, better than anything we tried locally.

Clean and modern in a quiet, residential area of Dambulla (but not very far - 20 minutes away by foot, 5 by tuktuk). Very, very attentive people and easy communication. They helped us get a car, gave us suggestions regarding what to do in the area, etc.

United KingdomAll fine
We recommend this place It is a very nice place to stay, with 4 bedrooms with big bathroom, very well equipped (even with small fridge, kettle and hairdryer) and comfortable beds. A nice small garden and a nice area with sofa to relax. Breakfast and dinner were very good. But another important component that made the stay very nice were the people running it, all of them and the manager is particularly helpful. It really worth Ps- please do not change towels everyday! Even big hotels don't do it. It is better for the environment.

United KingdomWe liked everything
A wonderful oasis in a peaceful lane outside Dambulla but only a few minutes bike ride / walk into town or to the temple. We loved the stylish decor, the spacious wet room and the wonderful Japanese garden with monkeys and squirrels visiting the feeders. The staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us, organising tuktuks for our visit to Pidurangala and Pophams. The Hotel was spotless and really well looked after and the Sri Lanka curry dinner was perfect for us.

IndiaThis is not a complaint but and observation. We were there for pre-wedding dinners and a wedding celebration. My wife would have loved better lighting over the mirrors to do her make up. The bathrooms were well done but were not "dry". A shower stall would have been a better design as without it the floor get wet and so does the commode which is adjacent to the shower.
Very warm and hospitable staff that really looked after us. Very relaxing surroundings with tastefully done up, rooms, veranda and compound. Hot beverages and meals served on fine crockery. Bottled water and hot beverages served on the house. Flexible meal timings by the very attentive staff.
