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.).

Czech RepublicAfter a month in Sri Lanka, I can tell this was our best stay. Room was clean, terrace comfortable, surrounding nature beatiful and the owner Indhika has open mind and heart, knows english very well. We had great chats with him. And overall felt super welcomed.

PolandThree Little Birds was one of the first places we stayed in Sri Lanka and so far it's one of our favourites overall. We extended our 6-day stay by another 5 (we were lucky as we were off-season). Indhika is incredibly hospitable, a man with a big heart for whom running this place is much more than a business. Therefore, almost immediately we felt at home and finally truly relaxed. In beautiful natural surroundings and with good people around. We are really thankful for having a memory of staying at Indhika's place.

NetherlandsI have nothing to complain about.
I don’t even know where to begin. We read al the reviews and everything was so positive. We told ourself: “we will see.” The reviews did not lie. Indika is an amazing person, who services you to every demand. He always makes sure you have everything you need. You can see he really loves meeting new people. Breakfast and dinner was good. The location was nice. Not in a busy area and surounded with birds and a nice view over the wetlands. The room is basic, but it fits the price. Indika built everything himself, which we found very impressie. What you see on the pictures is what you get + an amazing host. We were sad to leave. This was one of the best homestays we stayed at.

United KingdomThe homestay was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of fields and nature with tons of animals and birds. The room was very nice with mosquito nets and air conditioning available. Honestly one of the prettiest places we’ve stayed. But that wasn’t the best part. The best thing about Three Little Birds was its owner Indhika. He was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make our stay special and show us around. He took us out kayaking, he took us to a local beautiful temple, he gave us loads of incredible meals. The best host we’ve ever had!

United KingdomA little bit remote, if you don't hire a scooter. If you want to go to the shops or restaurants, you need to rely on the local bus or a tuk tuk.
Clean accommodation, quiet area, helpful host. The owner, Indika, is very kind and helpful. He will go out of his way to organise things for you and make you feel relaxed. He is a very honest and kind man who tries to run his business with the guests as his top priority. I went for a kayak trip in the lagoon with him and that was really beautiful and peaceful, I definitely recommend it! There is a beautiful beach 20min walk from his place.

United KingdomEverything was amazing!!!
Amazing stay near Tangalle, the host Indhika is one of the friendliest, most helpful and hard-working people we have met and definitely our highlight in Sri Lanka. We recommend this place to everyone, the property is in the middle of nature, with spacious rooms, nice facilities and beautiful views of fields and a little delta. At sunrise and sunset you can admire the birds and buffaloes from the hammocks or the comfy chairs. When you check in, you'll be welcomed with delicious black tea. Breakfast and dinner can be served for a small extra fee, they are incredibly delicious, so we recommend you eat there. If you're looking for a peaceful place in a serene location and an authentic Sri Lankan experience, make sure you check this place!!!

PolandThe owner of this house is a wonderful man with a big heart. Being here you don't feel like you're in another ordinary hotel. You feel like you're at home. Indhika takes care of you, is friendly and always willing to help. This place is his dream come true and for us it has become part of a wonderful story that we will never forget and the realization of our dream of Sri Lanka. If you are looking for a place that you will be able to remember after years with a smile on your face, this is the place. As for the food, it is delicious and the rooms are very cozy and clean. You can watch wild birds all day and in the evenings listen to the soothing sounds of cicadas swinging in a hammock. We will definitely come back here someday.
