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.).

AustraliaI chose a fan room but it was so hot in Sigiriya I wish I had picked an aircon room.
Bandula and his wife were wonderful hosts. The rooms were big and the bed was comfy. Water pressure was pretty good and they have a small shop on-site and a small restaurant. It is also very close to lots of restaurants.

DenmarkNot really anything
Very lovely place. Calm, clean and beautiful garden. It was close to the city and all of the restaurants, but still a little walk away in a calmer area. The room and bathroom were clean. One of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka until now. Bandula was very helpful with transport to the Pidurangala Rock at 5 am, and also helping with our laundry for an amazing price.

Me and my boyfriend, we really loved our stay in Bandulla Homestay. The location was good, the breakfast and the dinner we had was really tasty! The family helped in everything we needed and they even took us to the bus stand when we were leaving Sigiriya. I highly recommend this home stay :)

United KingdomVery good value for money. The host is such a nice person. Breakfast was good. Mr. Bandula was accommodating when we wanted breakfast a little early as we wanted to head out early for hiking before it got too hot. We did have a frog visitor in the evening in the room, just in case anyone does not like frogs. Good wifi. Easy to rent bicycles from nearby places. Mr. Bandula also cooked dinner for us one night and it was great.

United KingdomThe room was very clean, however I'd sometimes find frogs in the en-suite washroom. Bandula's home stay is very close to nature, so it is kind expected.
Super friendly and helpful owner (Bandula), really appreciated the fresh morning breakfasts and help with sorting transfers to Pidurangala and the local bus stop. The location is 10-20 min walking distance from the main strip in Sigiriya. Overall great stay!
