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...).

United KingdomPool wasn't as warm as others but you are higher up and still very pleasant. Loungers available.
Fantastic quiet location, in the jungle and away from the madness of Kandy City Centre. About a 40 minute, uphill walk to Kandy or better a Tuk Tuk. Breakfasts were lovely and clothes washing available. We booked 2 nights but extended to 3. Only ate in the once but it was very good. They also serve beer which not everywhere does. Our chalet was fairly new and well fitted out. Effective fan so didn't need to use the Air Con.

United KingdomNothing not to like
Fantastic couple of days staying at Veraima. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, and clean. The pool was great. Clean, with sunbeds and tables and chairs. Although a little way out from the centre of Kandy, it is an affordable tuk tul ride, and nice to escape the city. Special mention to the staff and owner who were extremely polite, happy, and willing to help if needed. They also made us a breakfast takeaway pack, as we left early to the train station, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend.

NetherlandsThe service was really good and the friendly team welcomed us with a drink in the lobby. The room was spacious and very clean as was the swimming pool area. The hotel has a nice restaurant/Terrace where we had a good dinner with Kottu and nasi goreng while looking into the jungle forrest. Breakfast was also nice including fresh fruit, waffle and eggs of your choice. Would definitely go again!

AustraliaNot much that was bad about the property. Some ants in the bathroom but besides that I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting nice but affordable accomodation just outside of the city centre.
Awesome property not too far out from the main town and is a quick 10 minute cheap tuk tuk into town. The rooms were also large and comfortable and the pool area was nice and shared with the whole property. Breakfast was also really nice and the staff were very nice and helpful the whole time.

PortugalThe staff is nice overall, but I feel that my friends and I fell into a tourist trap with the tuk tuk driver. We assumed he was part of the staff, but soon realised that he also had his own agenda. He took us to typical wood carving stores and herbal gardens, where you spend some time getting an explanation on the products and are expected to purchase items afterwards. But he was still really nice and kind.
The location was perfect for us, because it was quiet and a bit off the city (which can be very chaotic). For those who want to be near the city center, it might be tricky, as you’ll always need transportation.

Everything was lovely. The hotel was beautifully decorated. The room was well equipped. Excellent bathroom. The pool was a bonus. Location just far enough away from the noise and pollution. Tuk tuk on site at standard rates. Nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was very good. Recommended

United KingdomWe had THE BEST! time at Veraima The scenery is beautiful, so much greenery and we loved the restaurant veranda which felt like you were nestled in the rainforest. It is a short tuk tuk ride (10 mins) from the hustle and bustle of Kandy which only cost about 500 rupees. The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely balcony again looking over lush greenery The people who worked there really made the stay extra special - so welcoming and they were willing to help in any way they could whether that was organising transport or accommodating us when we needed to stay an extra night. Thank you SO much!!

SwedenWe had a little bit of a scare, with a ”monkey bomb” going off in the forest adjacent to our cabana — blasting our eardrums. We didn’t know what the explosion was until we asked the staff. To scare away monkeys (not done by Veraima) Not ideal. Also, Wifi was spotty.
The cabanas were incredible, so clean and modern, our favourite accommodation through three weeks’ travels in Sri Lanka. The pool, staff, and food also delivered!
