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 house is outside of the city, up the hill a bit. The area is very quiet and cool, so that was great. But, it is a pretty far walk. You will need to use tuk tuks.
This family lives in a large house, and they are renting out some of their rooms, so it really is a kind of homestay. They also have some rooms that are not attached to the house, if you prefer more independence. I like how they have opened up their house to guests, so you can experience how a local family lives. Anander speaks English well, so we were really able to converse with him about all kinds of things. They are a very kind, gracious couple. They arranged a guide/tuk-tuk driver for us.

SwitzerlandA bit far from the city center, but could be easily arrange a ride
The host was very accommodating. He helped us was whatever request we had (laundry, dinner, tour or Tuk Tuk arrangement). The service was outstanding, going above and beyond our expectations. The room was very clean, with lots of space and light, very comfortable, with a nice view and in a green and quiet area. The bed was very comfortable. We were feeling so great that we extended our stay. The location was a bit tricky, but could be easily arranged with a Tuk Tuk for between 400 or 800 rupees (depending if you get a Pickup ride or not) We were very grateful for the special arrangements for our daughter’s birthday and would recommend the place to anyone with children

SloveniaEverything ok!
Mr. Ananda is very friendly, he always waits upon arrival and asks how we spent the day and if we need anything. He gave us a free ride into town upon departure as it was too early (5 AM) for the tuk-tuk drivers - thank you again! The location is nice and quiet, but it's quite uphill - you need a tuk-tuk to get around, but you can also take a more active walk (about 35 minutes walking down, a little more uphill). For an additional fee, the staff also prepares a delicious local breakfast.

CanadaNot a minus, but if you want to be in the hustle and bustle of Kandy, this is not really the place for you. The beauty of it is really being away from all of the noise and having a really 'home' feeling.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay with Mr. Ananda. He was incredibly accommodating, kind and generous. The dinners at the homestay were delicious and also gave us the opportunity to meet other travellers. The place is tucked away from the noise of Kandy, very peaceful and a short walk from the Pekoe trailhead. We were concerned about getting there by tuktuk, but we were easily able to arrange rides with uber or pickme. Mr. Anander very kindly gave us a lift to the train station when we departed.

It was such an amazing house and experience. Anand and his wife were so welcoming and treated us like their family. We had the run of the house and could use the kitchen when we wanted tea etc. Gorgeous spacious rooms with balconies and views over the trees. It was way up in the forests with such clean fresh air. Ravi the tuk tuk driver was great for hiring for trips. He was very knowledgeable and well known and liked in town. Food was delicious and home cooked. They couldn't do wnough for us. Felt sad to leave. Anand even drove us to the station at 4am just because he wanted to! Highly recommend for a lovely Sri lankan home experience. Thank you so much!

For example, My girlfriend was sick for a few days and Ananda was so kind that he scheduled an appointment with a doctor to get some advice and medicines. The location is also beautiful, in front of a huge forest in which a wild.leopard resides. Fantastic experience, definitely recommended.

Quiet, spacious room with an amazing view of the jungle just outside of busy and dusty kandy. Andana, his wife are such warm and welcoming people. They prepared amazing food for us and even taught us how to cook it :) Ravi, the Tuc Tuc driver who picked us up and drove us to great spots and temples was a great company! They all gave us good recommendations and helped us getting tickets for the train. We would definitely recommend everybody to stay here for an outstanding experience :)
