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.).

United KingdomThe WiFi could be improved, it only worked well outside and on one half of the room. We couldn’t get connection to use our data so better WiFi would’ve been great.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our room was very clean, spacious and modern. Our host Nayomi and her family were very accommodating; every morning we were served a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast (which was delicious), Nayomi helped us book transport throughout our stay, our laundry was done at a reasonable price and Nayomi even helped us get rid of some unwanted frogs that took shelter in our room! This was one of the best places we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka as the hospitality was unmatched and the room was great for the price.

CanadaThe WIFI is a bit weak. If you need to do work remotely, you can visit Barista in town and work from there for a faster, stable internet connection.
This hotel is run by the sweetest family! We had everything we needed during our stay: AC, yummy breakfast, a comfy bed, and hot water for the shower. On our first night, we had dinner cooked fresh by the chef at the hotel. They set up a cute table for us under the stars! Breakfast was also very yummy and included with our stay. We had a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast of dhal, hoppers or roti, sambol, omelette (optional), fresh fruit, and coffee or tea. It was so delicious and I'm getting hungry just thinking of it. We had a blast hanging out with their family, especially their son! He's the cutest little two-year-old with a ton of energy. We also had a tour of the many viewpoints of Sigirya's Lion Rock by the hotel! Just note that the hotel is about 4km from Sigirya's Lion Rock. I recommend staying here!

We loved our stay at the View Hotel. The family that runs the hotel is so sweet and made our stay unique. The room was very clean and offered air conditioning, a very comfortable bed and a perfect hot shower. The food was fantastic and the family helped us organise excursions. We were even able to borrow 2 bikes for free to get around Sirigiya. I can really recommend the View Hotel. It was our best stay in Sri Lanka so far and we hope to come back to this nest soon. ☺️

My recent stay at The View Hotel Sigiriya left me absolutely mesmerized. From the moment I arrived until the day of departure, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The hotel's prime location, comfortable beds, enchanting garden, and the warm and helpful owner made it a truly unforgettable stay. The View Hotel Sigiriya boasts an enviable location that lives up to its name. Situated perfectly to offer breathtaking views of the majestic Sigiriya Rock, I was treated to a stunning panorama right from my room. Watching the sunrise over the ancient rock fortress was a sight I will cherish forever. The beds at The View Hotel were incredibly comfortable, providing a haven of relaxation after a day of exploration. I had the most restful sleep, which undoubtedly contributed to my overall enjoyment of the trip. The hotel's garden was a delightful surprise, adorned with lush greenery and fragrant flowers. It offered a tranquil escape, and I found myself spending leisurely moments there, immersing myself in the serenity it provided. What truly made my stay memorable was the owner's exceptional hospitality and helpfulness. They went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. Their valuable local tips and recommendations enriched my experience, and it felt like I was staying with a dear friend rather than at a hotel. Now, let's talk about the food - an absolute treat for the taste buds! The hotel's restaurant served delectable dishes that tantalized my palate with a burst of flavors. I relished the opportunity to indulge in authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, and the dining experience at The View Hotel was nothing short of delightful. Another highlight of my stay was the complimentary ride provided by the hotel to the Pidurangala Rock. This gesture showcased the owner's genuine commitment to ensuring their guests have a memorable time exploring the nearby attractions.
