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.).

United StatesThe rooms were located in a quiet area and the landscape was nice. The breakfast buffet was very good.
The property was kept well and the location was beautiful. We had issues with access to one of the rooms because the key card did not work. It took several attempts by staff. Also the bathroom shower drain was not working properly. Lot of water on the floor.

United StatesNothing particularly, but could improve staff mentality on equal treatment to both local and foreign guests. I too born in SL, but I live permanently out of Sri Lanka. The cleaning staff and some servers, indirectly prioritising foreign BORN tourists opposed to local looking tourists like us.

AustraliaI was 28 weeks pregnant during my stay and found the beds very firm. Otherwise, everything was very comfortable and the rooms very spacious. Kandy is a great city but you probably only need 2 nights maximum.
The facilities are wonderful and the hotel is beautiful. We were very well taken care of and offered a free room upgrade. The staff are very attentive and helpful. The guest services offering is also very helpful for information relating to your stay in Kandy.

AustraliaA Truly Memorable and Delicious Experience – Thank You, Earl’s Regency! We recently stayed at Earl’s Regency in Kandy and were absolutely blown away by the incredible hospitality and personalised experience we received. One of the absolute highlights of our trip was a private cooking class organised just for us – something not usually offered by the hotel, but made possible thanks to the wonderful staff going above and beyond to create a memorable experience. A huge thank you to Chef Jayakodi and Chef Sampath, who took the time to guide us through a hands-on Sri Lankan cooking experience. Their passion, skill, and warmth made it both informative and so much fun. Every dish we prepared was absolutely delicious – fresh, authentic, and beautifully presented. We learned so much and left with full bellies and big smiles! Special mention must also go to the attentive and friendly service provided by the waitstaff during and after the class – every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making the experience seamless and enjoyable. We cannot recommend Earl’s Regency highly enough – from the stunning setting and comfortable rooms to the exceptional service and willingness to go the extra mile. This cooking class was the perfect example of genuine hospitality and left us with wonderful memories we’ll cherish for a long time. Thank you to everyone at Earl’s Regency – especially Chef Jayakodi, Chef Sampath, and the incredible team. We hope to return soon!

CanadaThe buffet was filled with many choices however, it seem to repeat the same dishes. A rotation of different/varieties of food style would be more appealing.
Everything about this hotel exceeds expectations and where value for money is concern, it is well worth it. Especially when I compare this hotel with others that is priced at the same range.

QatarJust to forewarn there are power cuts from time to time. Not for long however we were in a lift when it happened and weren’t aware of them so a little frightening.
Beautifully set in the rock outside of the main city but not too far. Fabulous deluxe room and comfortable bed & great bathroom facilities. The breakfast buffet was superb. The staff are most welcoming and helpful. Stunning views.
