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...).

United KingdomBasic but spotlessly clean accommodation. Incredible views. Outstanding food. The most lovely hosts in the whole of Sri Lanka. Great location, 10 minutes walk from restaurants and bars with fire flies lighting the way at night. Birds and wildlife all around you. A real family feel, thank you!

IndiaThe Wi-Fi was getting fluctuations. Might not be the place at fault but the service provider.
I recently stayed at this place and had a pleasant experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortably furnished. Upon arrival, the check-in process was smooth and efficient, with a friendly owner who is helpful and welcoming. The room itself was spacious enough for a comfortable stay. The bed was large and supportive, with clean, crisp linens plush pillows. Lighting in the room was well thought out, offering both bright overhead options. Temperature control was easy to use, and the air conditioning worked efficiently to keep the room comfortable. The bathroom was clean and stocked with basic toiletries such as shampoo and body wash. Water pressure in the shower was strong, and there was always plenty of hot water available. Fresh towels were provided daily, and they did a great job maintaining cleanliness throughout the stay. Soundproofing could have been slightly better, as occasional hallway noise was noticeable, but it did not significantly disrupt my stay. The view from the breakfast spot is amazing and the pancakes with coconut and hone sey were delectable. Food is a must try with the family. The younger son of the owner also creates a jamming session post dinner which is very lively and Anjula the owner lives to know about your country as well. They also gave us postcards to send back home. This is definitely unique Overall, I would recommend this place for leisure travelers. It offers good value for money, a comfortable stay, and courteous service. I would gladly stay here again.

PortugalSuper friendly host, always ready to help and to take you to the best places. He took us to a lake nearby where you could swim and gave us a ride to an awesome massage place. We also had a very good dinner in the property and the breakfast is the best one we had so far. Everything with local ingredients and the breakfast view is the best!! You can see the lions rock perfectly!!! If you come to Sigiriya I 100% recommend this place :) PS: bring eye mask to sleep because the curtains are not blackout

United Arab EmiratesThe owner is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. He waited for my late check-in, prepared a delicious breakfast, and even hosted a small music night with his son, which was such a lovely and unique touch. He truly puts a lot of heart into his business, and his hospitality is evident. Wishing him all the best and many happy guests in the future!

A wonderful place. Everything you need is in the room. The host and his whole family are lovely and helpful. Breakfasts with the view - the best we've eaten in Sri Lanka. I recommend ordering dinner as well (delicious - cooked by the host's wife). Great location - peace and quiet, but not far away from Sigiriya and the trail to Pindurangala

United KingdomThe room was rather cramped, because it was a 'family' room and had so had an additional single bed in it. We found the shower would only stay hot for a limited time.
This is a family run hotel, where we were given the warmest of welcomes and made to feel like special guests. Breakfast and dinner were beautifully cooked traditional Sri Lankan fare - dinner next to the family house and breakfast on the top of the three guest rooms where there is a lovely view over paddy fields to Sigiriya rock. On the first evening we were entertained by the family playing and singing - we were given instruments and encouraged to join in. A very special experience. The hotel owner was very proud of his house and garden and, on our last day, we were asked to help plant a tree. When we brought out some cards, a Carrom board was produced and the oldest son of the family was tasked with teaching us how to play.

Czech RepublicNothing could have been better.
Everything just like on the pictures. Superb location, within a short walk to Sigiriya rock and town but far away from the crowds. Beautiful garden full of plants and animals. Superb food served by the hosts for great price with a wide choice of traditional food: every day the breakfast and dinner completely different. But the overall best highlight is the hosting family: we felt like home. We came with children and both them and us loved the hosts and if we had more time, I wish we could stay longer. When we return to Sri Lanka one day, it is the PLACE where we definitely want to stay again!!!

United StatesMy husband and I had a lovely one-night stay in Sigiriya at this property! We had both dinner and breakfast here and especially enjoyed the coconut honey pancakes in the morning with the view of the Sigiriya Lion Rock. We talked about those coconut honey pancakes our whole trip! We also appreciated that the property had secure, gated parking for our tuktuk rental. Not to mention, the hosts were kind and welcoming. We greatly recommend staying at Sigiriya Water Guest & View Point Restaurant when in Sigiriya. We wished we would have stayed another night!
