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.).

NetherlandsOnly improvement point would be the light in the bathroom. One extra lamp above the mirror would make it perfect.
Beautiful 2 story appartment in the middle of the jungle and a beautiful garden. Great views from the balconies and amazing to hear and see the wildlife around you. The house was very comfortable, spacious and has everything required. The hosts were great, very friendly and kind and the breakfast was simply amazing, so tasty, fresh and plentiful (read: too much😉) Highly recommend!

The location in the jungle and the host were fantastic. Breakfast was delicious. The host helped us with any little question and transport. When there was no Tuktuk he drove us himself to town. And also arranged the transport to GalOya our next location

United KingdomIt’s a little way out of Ella (5 min uphill tuktuk ride) which is to be expected given that you’re in the forest! But worth bearing in mind with your travel plans.
It was amazing staying in the forest, it was great waking up to the sounds of so many animals. We loved birdwatching from the balcony too. Breakfast was also amazing and cooked fresh for us by the host right by our cabin.

Rooms well equipped with mosquito nets over the very comfortable beds. We had to leave very early in the morning and our host prepared a delicious take away breakfast for us, and organised transport to the station for us. He couldn’t have been more helpful! Thank you

PolandThere were some insects and a cockroach inside the mesh above the bed that should keep you protected from the bugs so we couldn't really use that.
Really good, sri lankan breakfast, and interesting construction of the room as a treehouse. Additional plus for the patio with two chairs where you can sit surrounded by the nature. There were other people in the room adjacent to ours but we didn't hear anything.

AustriaThere was a sewage smell coming out of the drains so we always kept the bathroom door closed.
The location up in the treetops! We watched birds, fire flies, giant squirrels and monkeys right from our porch. It was amazing. Not very suitable for people traveling with a big suitcase, so bring a backpack.

AustraliaNothing - this place is awesome
It’s stunning in its location in the forest with birds and monkeys and squirrels. The architecture is gorgeous and rustic and the natural light and view are lovely. The authentic Sri Lankan breakfasts were the best we had on our trip. Different each day and delicious and VERY generous. The staff were always paying attention to see if you needed anything. And the house dog and rabbits were a big hit.

Our host was one of the kindest people we have ever met, even by Sri Lankan standards! The family went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to help us when we had an issue with our bike. The cabin was perfect, immaculately clean and beautiful with an incredible view. It is surrounded by very beautiful gardens so you feel secluded in the jungle. The breakfast was delicious too! The location was also ideal, away from the busy town but close enough that it was very convenient. It was a perfect stay!!
