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.).

The location was phenomenal. The place had such a lovely feel to it, like a well-loved home.

New ZealandNothing major. There are two bungalows on the property, rooms with AC are in one of them only, breakfast is served in the other one. Rooms could do with a fresh coat of paint.
Location is great, walking distance to Kandy lake, some restaurants and 15-20 min to Kandy Mall. Big size rooms with AC. Laundry service available. Payment with card or cash accepted.

United KingdomMore like a hospital room than a hotel room. Doors need repairing/replacing. To the room I was in anyway.
A little spartan. Wooden door badly split & broken around the handle/lock area. A bit worrying. Balcony door has a lock but no key and 2 bolts hard to operate. Door was unbolted and unlocked when I arrived. However, the bed was very comfortable and massive , the electric shower did give warm water, which is all that was needed as evening temps although a lot lower than Negombo, weren't too bad. A warm shower was nice late evening. Breakfast was good although I don't eat a great deal in the heat so can't comment on the amount. Seems to be ran by a bunch of young guys, very friendly and helpful. Last morning a mix up with a pre booked cab for the train station and 1 of them made sure of a tuk tuk to get me to the station for my 08.15 train to Ella. And that I wasn't ripped off.

Room size is big. Common area is big. Open area for parking is big. Enough space for parking and on request they give place for driver too.

Sri LankaIt's not everyday you find colonial bungalow in the middle of a busy city. The property was in the heart of the city, just around the Kandy Lake Round which makes every other place in Kandy an easy access from where you stay. The property has an authentic colonial feel to it with the service curated perfectly well. The rooms are very comfortable & spacious.

United KingdomThe breakfast was just okay nothing special but included in the price. Didn't like the smell of mothballs in the room.
The location only a couple of minutes from the lake and a pleasant 15 minute walk into Kandy City centre. The bungalow contained many artifacts and the lounge and reading room was peaceful. Shahtha and his wife are typically Sri Lankan offering kind hospitality. Good value for money we would recommend.

The location is convenient and beautiful. A 15-min walk along the lake that we really enjoyed, brings you to the central part of the city. The property is charming and we really loved the vintage decor. The hosts are very kind, eager to help! They prepare breakfast daily at a time that suits you.
