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.).

Great place for a big family or group traveling together. Located close to yala national park so very convenient for going on safari. We booked a safari trip through Tree Tops, and had a great Safari with a very experienced guided. The house is clean and spacious. The staff provided us with delicious food.

Tree Tops is one of the closer lodges to the Yala National Park. They organised an excellent tour for us and on our return in the evening the fire was burning for our BBQ dinner. We absolutely loved all the food that the chef and his team made for us over the two days. Beautiful breakfasts, lunch and dinner. We got to try so many different Sri Lankan meals and breads. We felt so spoilt, it really was like having our personal chef, thank you for looking after us so well. We also enjoyed staying at the lodge. We thought the rooms looked too big for the three of us however we were very comfortable and could all read in bed without disturbing each other. The air con works well too. Do take the time to go to the roof top lookout as you can see lots of birds, monkeys and water buffalo.

United KingdomIt was great to communicate before our travel to make sure the property, food and anything met our needs. I can't recommend this place enough. The language barrier on site made it a little difficult to express our gratuity but the chef prepared some outstanding food and our party of 5 were really happy. This might have been some of the best homemade food we had while traveling in Sri Lanka. I might add that the proximity to Yala National park was why we chose this venue. Would totally recommend.

BelgiumWe had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Yala! The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The house is very spacious, clean, and modern—perfect for our group of 10 people. The food was delicious, all prepared by the staff, which made our experience even more relaxing. The pool was stunning, and being surrounded by nature made the experience even more special. We spotted monkeys, peacocks, a variety of birds, and even a monitor lizard! Another great advantage is that the house is located just 15 minutes from the entrance of Yala Safari Park, making it super convenient for our excursions. Overall, it was a peaceful and unique getaway, and the staff’s care and attention made it truly memorable. Highly recommend this place!

The setup was what would be expected from a safari holiday home. There were plenty of beds to choose from and the upstairs rooms can connect allowing large groups to intermingle easily. Additionally the meals were prepared by a cook that made delicious food daily with a variety of tastes and textures. The staff were helpful and attentive to our needs. The top most floor is a viewing deck and if you come there early morning around 5;30am the view and concoction of birds and sounds is a relaxing experience to see and listen. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a different experience.

United StatesHost only accepted cash and not card. Was not a big deal for us but could have been an issue for someone not carrying cash.
Excellent property surrounded by jungle. We saw at least 5 peacocks, several beautiful birds on the property. Staff was great. Appu the cook and his wife made our meals exactly like we wanted including masala chai several times a day. Rooms were very large with multiple beds. Could easily sleep 15-18 people.

The villa is very big and has a lot of potential. The staff is amazing, Appu is a really good coocker, he made us a beautiful and delicious dinner (fish and chicken bbq) and an amazing breakfast. We had Safari with Ravindu and he was amazing! He found all the animals and explained us lot of things.

Appu is a very good cook and made us wonderful fresh rotti for breakfast, got up at 4.30am to prepare lunch for our safari trip and prepared fantastic curry and BBQ in the evening. Ravidu helped us out organising eveything and made our stay relaxing and without worries. He learned our boys to play cricket in the garden and how the famous board game Carrom. They couldn't stop playing it!! we had a fantastic time at Tree tops, and would return immeditaly if we could!
