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 KingdomJust a little far out of Kandy town compared to other accommodations available but it does offer a tranquil, isolated retreat vibe
Really beautiful property. The interior design and vibe was outstanding. Jamal was the main member of staff there and he was friendly, helpful and accommodating.

United KingdomGoddess Kandy is a beautiful boutique style hotel. The staff here are absolutely exceptional, Gaya is so lovely and accommodating she could not do enough to help make our stay as special as possible - neither could her staff. The location is brilliant, it’s near enough to Kandy but far enough away that you are out of the hectic chaos of the city. They made our bed super pretty for our honeymoon and the pool area is lovely. I would highly recommend anyone staying here. The breakfast and food at the location is also brilliant. A special shoutout to Gaya’s gorgeous dog too, he was definitely a great part of our stay and just the best boy!

IsraelNo nature view from the hotel to Kendy nature surroundings - but it's a hidden gem in a metropolitan area. No hot water, although they tried to fix it. But common for this level of hotel and after 6 hours on the road with a Tuk tuk?? Food at dinner was not good - serving cold rice and chicken?
Very stylish Decoration of the hotel inside and out is amazing. We loved the pool area. Although we never saw her, Gaya, the owner/manager, was super attentive and helped us a lot with arrangements and responded very quickly. Service from the stuff was excellent. Near the hotel, you can get around by foot and make yourself familiar with local shops and stores. 5 min walking to a train station (not Kendy train station)

After riding elephants and climbing Lions Rock we were definitely grateful to be welcomed into this beautiful accommodation. The host Gaya and her wonderful team/family were so attentive, and nothing was too much. Tariq, the young man's name who made us feel like we had V.I.P. treatment. I will never forget our stay here. It was a beautiful home. Our room was stunning. The food was exceptional. I loved the breakfast( served with Sri Lankan Iced Gems !! my Fav. And some delicious bread, etc. There are lots of choices on the menu for everyone. It was very peaceful, and sometimes it felt like we had the place to ourselves, we did meet some other guests. The pool and the garden are the other wow factor, if you have time to sit or swim and observe, you will notice so much life 🪲🐞🐸🦜. The thought that has gone into this place is wonderful ✨💖 I hope we will be able to return here one day 🥰 I'm sorry I took lots of videos and only a few photos 📸

United KingdomNothing it was perfect.
Goddess Hotel went above and beyond my expectations. We were immediately welcomed with a lovely cold drink and then shown our incredible rooms. My partner and my jaws dropped at how gorgeous the rooms were! There was incense burning and all the interior design was so tasteful and homely. Gaya hospitality made us feel instantly like we were at home. The staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and looked after. The pool is stunning and the outside area is to die for! This was our favourite place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka, if you’re in Kandy, do not miss!
