Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

The resort is located in a beautiful and secluded natural setting, perfect for those who love peace and tranquility. The room was stunning—clean, spacious, and tastefully furnished—with a charming and comfortable balcony overlooking a stream. The best part was our wonderful host, Mahinda, who welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. He took care of everything and more, solved all our problems, helped with anything we needed, and truly spoiled us. Thank you so much for everything. Highly recommended!

It's clean and neat. It's on the first floor no lift. That is the only disadvantage. Very pleasant atmosphere

Lovely location. Great Sri Lankan breakfast. The fans in the room kept us cool. The staff kindly drove us to The Heritance for a wedding, as tuk tuks were harder to find. We were lucky enough to see a wild elephant!

We liked the location of the resort. It felt like we were in the jungle, with all the different birdsongs and small creatures that visit the property. There are a lot of fruit trees and medicinal plants, and our host took the time to explain the various plants and their healing power. Mohinde also explained the local village life as the opportunity arise. For example, the field close by was harvesting the rice and he explained the process and pointed out the machinery that drove past the resort. Our host’s undivided attention to his guests are really rare these days and much appreciated. Attentive and yet not intrusive. The home cooked meals are very tasty and healthy. Breakfast was different everyday. And on the day of our departure, he suggested a time to take the bus to avoid the rush hour and this helped a great deal for a comfortable journey to Kandy. All in all, a very pleasant four day stay in Dambulla.

United KingdomWe loved staying here. We had dinner too which was delicious. Location is maybe a bit far out of the main town but we rented a tuk tuk so we’re great for access. Also if you had breakfast and dinner here too then getting to the town wouldn’t be a problem. Beautiful location and the balcony view is amazing.
