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...).

A nice spot up on the hills. A great room with aircon, a table and chair (sometimes hard to find), nice big bed, hot shower and spotlessly clean. Very good value. The hosts were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to help me with various things. Extremely kind.

SloveniaWell first, the location is hard to find because it's in a shady part of the town and they don't have any signs for their house. You have to go up the hudge stairs (I also added a photo) and then turn left. This is a guesthouse so the family is living downstairs, upstairs they have rooms for tourist. They know english language but they are just getting a hold of the app and booking - nothing serious. The rooms oh god. They look nothing like the pictures, maybe they looked like that 10 years ago or even more. There is mould everywhere, including matress and coushins.. There were ants everywhere and the bathroom is literally falling apart. The toilet seat is also mouldy (???). We wanted to stay there but then we saw a cockroach coming from the sheets and went out the same night. We went to Janora Hills instead and boy do I have to say that was a relief. Tourist scam? Yeah maybe. But they have a problem with mould in Kandy...it's everywhere so watch out :)
I guess I could say nothing...maybe flexibility of the owners.

Sri LankaUnfortunately, issues with the room, private balcony, safety, and overall experience, including a lack of privacy due to visible holes in the door and insufficient soundproofing, significantly impacted my stay negatively
The sole source of satisfaction during my stay lies in the sense of freedom afforded and the captivating view of the city at night, providing moments of solace and appreciation amid other challenges

Sri LankaThere are steep steps from road to property , we have to use it to reach the property. As I travelled with my kids and parents it was very bad experience for me . As there is raining whether day and night it was scary to use it each time. And in the night there was no lighting in that area , so while using that steep steps we have to use our mobile phone torch to see the path properly. It was very bad experience for us. There was no continuous hot water supply. As there is rainy cold whether that we experienced , it was very difficult to manage without continuous hot water supply. They supplied us additional electric kettle to boil water and use for washing . The lighting inside the family room was very poor. There is a drainage problem in the attached bathroom in the family room. So once someone use it , water was overflowing.
Near to maligawa, town , bus and railway stations Can find pick me tuk easily. Owners are good.

IndiaDiscrepancies on the amenities provided including that of air-conditioning and the inclusion of my daughter in the stay. The lack of clear directions or a name board made locating Heavens Door Guest Inn a bit of a challenge. This omission made finding the inn more complicated than it should have been, especially after a long journey to Kandy. Furthermore, there are steep steps leading up from the road to the inn.
First and foremost, if you are a solo traveler, you may find Heavens Door Guest Inn to be a suitable option. However, if you are traveling with family or a group, be prepared to encounter some challenges.
