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...).

GermanyMosquito attacks during the night.
Ayurvie is truly a serene haven, featuring a wonderful treatment centre and a delightful ayurvedic restaurant that serves generous breakfast portions. The stunning views of the lush rice fields and the outdoor yoga terrace create a tranquil atmosphere. Don't miss exploring the beautiful garden, and take advantage of Aliya's fantastic amenities, including a delicious buffet and breathtaking views of Lion's Rock and the infinity pool. It's an uplifting experience that nourishes both body and spirit!

AustriaUntil 10pm and from 5am there was quite some noise on the roof of our bungalow (squirrels). Not the fault of the hotel, but might be relevant for others. We could not adjust the fan speed of the air condition (and in operation it was too loud to sleep). The smell in the bathroom was... let me say "not too fresh".
Very special place in the nature with really cool bungalows in rustic design. The personnel was extremely friendly and supportive. Breakfast and dinner in the open air restaurant (vegetarian and ayurvedic) was also nice and quite unique. The Ayurvie is a relaxing place with a small quiet pool. Sometimes a peacock comes to drink from it. Next door there is a larger sister hotel "Aliya Resort" with a bar and a larger pool, which can also be used. The Ayurvedic treatments we had were very good. Location was good for us, 15 minutes Tuk-Tuk ride from the Sigiriya Rock.

FranceThe place is not correctly located on Booking. It's 10 kilometers from Sigirya. Which means you have to use transports every time you want to go somewhere.
The staff was just incredible : so nice, helpful and attentive. The place is very quiet and peaceful. There are lots of animals fooling around (peacocks, squirrels, birds, etc). You can here prayers in the distance at the end of the day. The room was a dream. The mattress was very comfortable. We enjoyed the bathroom a lot. If you want to eat something else, Aliya's restaurant is just a few minutes walk away. There, the staff is also amazing.

NetherlandsI had the pleasure of spending one night at this beautiful Ayurvedic hotel, and I can honestly say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything was impeccably cared for, and the grounds were absolutely stunning — peaceful, green, and thoughtfully designed. The true highlight of my stay, however, was the warmth and kindness of the people. Every member of the staff made me feel genuinely welcome and at home, which added so much to the overall experience. The meals were exceptional — prepared with great attention, care, and high-quality ingredients. You could truly taste the love and intention behind every dish. My room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. I also enjoyed two treatments at the wellness center, which were absolutely wonderful. I received a relaxing massage, a steam bath, a body scrub, and a soothing herbal bath. It was a deeply calming experience — the perfect way to disconnect and recharge. I would highly recommend staying longer than just one night in order to fully experience everything this place has to offer. It’s a haven of peace, healing, and genuine hospitality.

Great breakfast, relaxing, great facilities, great staff, fresh food, option to indulge in the sister hotel if you wish - all you would expect.

United KingdomAt the time of booking, the location for this hotel on booking dot com was showing as being next to Lion Rock which is incorrect. It is approximately 8km from Lion Rock.
Very peaceful and relaxing location in contrast to the large hotel next door. The traditional Sri Lankan breakfast and dinner were amazing and the service was excellent. The room was also perfect.

FranceWe had an incredible moment with my friends. Staff is super nice and qualified, they made us discover exquisite food, and their place is just a little piece of paradise. To be noticed that you also have access to all infrastructures (gym, restaurant, swimming pool, badminton, ping pong, etc.) of the hostel next door, as well as a relaxing spa with Ayurvedic treatments / massages. I would recommend this place to anyone willing to share a peaceful moment in couple, or with friends or family.

BelgiumWe were not used to eat curry’s in the morning, as it was the only option there. But it was nice to try local breakfast (vegetarian) and it was all home made.
Very calm location, waking up with the sounds of the local wildlife. Comfortable beds, and the room was very spacious. Even the bathroom was really big.

SpainThe breakfast was typical from the place and i Couldn't choose another option. It was tasty and good, but it is not the kind of breakfast that i like to have, even when I'm travelling.
The location is in the middle of the wild with views to the rock. The rooms are very well design and Cozy. I Love the bathroom , and of course best thing was the spa massage

Hong KongIt is a little bit far from attractions, so you would need transportation if staying here.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The room itself was spacious and quite comfortable. The staff were incredibly friednly and helpful, and the food was incredible and healthy. It was a tranquil place to stay, and we enjoyed watching the peacocks roam the premises. We would definitely stay here if we were in Sigiriya again!

United KingdomExceeded our already high expectations. Everything about our stay at Ayurvie Sigiriya Retreat was perfect, most notably: the spacious, stylish room; the well-presented, delicate, utterly delicious and plentiful vegetarian food (we are not vegetarian but we were totally amazed by the food’s quality and the variety of flavours); the proximity to nature; not forgetting the treatments, of course. Dr Hansika and her colleagues have found the perfect antidote to modern life.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful retreat. It’s a peaceful haven in gorgeous grounds, you feel so well looked-after, with the delicious food and incredible spa treatments. Also - you must do the 6.30 am yoga! Worth setting an alarm for! Note - you have the benefit of being allowed to use the facilities of the Aliya Hotel next door (which was useful for logistical things like arranging the elephant safari and our transfer to our next accommodation). I’d also recommend sending your taxi to Aliya as it’s easier to find on the map, and you can then easily access Ayurvie.
