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...).

IrelandNot much to complain about. The monkeys are a little troublesome on the balcony, hard to relax there but difficult to control that. Staff were very helpful when one came into our bedroom!
Very nice ambiance at the Trees, we were greeted with a lovely welcome tea and flower and kind staff. Everyone was so nice and really went out of their way to help. The room was spotless and a special effort was made for our honeymoon which was very sweet. The pool area was gorgeous and very relaxing. Towels provided too. We had cocktails and dinner one of the evenings which was very tasty and staff were very attentive. Great breakfast and nicely designed rooms and bathroom. Great location, 10min walk to the lake and other sights. Easy to get tuk tuk back.

GermanyThe only comment I have is that the safe did not work and the description failed. Additionally, it took some time for the problem to get solved.
The location of the hotel was very good and a short walk away from the city centre. The view of the hotel was amazing. I had breakfast and diner twice and the food was great. The room was very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated.

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay at The Trees, Kandy. We weren’t sure it would live up to the photos, but absolutely does. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel is very modern, stylish and spotless, and equally the room and balcony were incredibly nice. A tranquil and peaceful oasis away from the main town, and walkable in 5/10 mins (not suitable if you can’t walk up steep hills). The highlight was the rooftop infinity pool, which offered amazing views over the lake and temple, and always had space to sit / lounge, and even had it completely to ourselves in the morning. Would absolutely recommend.

FinlandEverything worked well -maybe breakfast was a bit limited, of course you could order anything from kitchen but a "recommendation list" could have been helpful -> but this really not any concern or problem.
Nice, medium size hotel very close to city centre. Service extremely professional and friendly (rarely seen so good care and professionialism; especially with the gentleman managing restaurants and lady managing reception). The pool is the star of this location -with nice arrangements and super view. Rooms were nice, good sized and very quiet.

United KingdomLoved it
The Trees Kandy is a jewel, superbly situated overlooking the lake in Kandy. As soon as you enter you know its something special, from the welcoming staff, calming tea, luxurious space. The room did not disappoint, thoughtfully appointed, with everything you need and a gorgeous view. The food and service in the restaurant was excellent but the jewel is the roof top pool and bar, where you can enjoy freshly cooked food of your choice.

United KingdomVery expensive breakfast - we paid about double for breakfast than we did for dinner. The breakfast was good but seemed a bit out of kilter with the other food prices.
Amazing location within walking distance to the town and with amazing views over the lake. The staff were excellent, friendly and nothing too much trouble. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the Sri Lankan curry was exceptional and good value too - prices generally match the standard of the hotel apart from the breakfast - see below. Loved the modern design and most importantly the bed was super comfortable.
