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.).

AustriaWe loved our stay! The family is always there to help if needed and very responsive, also beforehand. But you can always have your time alone on the nice veranda. We really felt like it was our place for the days we spent there. The room is spacious and clean, the veranda is amazing and protected from sun and rain. The family prepared a different breakfast every day, it was amazing! Within 5 minutes walking you can reach various great restaurants. We would always choose this place again!

United KingdomIt met all our expectations; the place is managed efficiently.
Excellent budget friendly accommodation set beside a beautiful paddy field overlooking Sigirya Rock, which is a 5 min drive away. Our hosts were very friendly and amenable; happy to organise transport and give advice on local eateries. Room was a decent size, clean and comfortable with a few great additions such as kettle/tea and hairdryer. We ate fruit, hoppers and rotis on the terrace for breakfast and enjoyed relaxing on the hammocks after a day's sightseeing!

United KingdomA Truly Unforgettable Stay at Sigiriya Hillside View Villa Our stay at Sigiriya Hillside View Villa was nothing short of magical. Hosted by a warm and welcoming local family, we felt at home from the moment we arrived. Their son, Kavindu, took exceptional care of us, ensuring that every detail of our visit was perfect. He is a kind-hearted young man with big dreams, studying to become an electrical engineer, and we truly enjoyed our time with him. One of our most cherished memories was walking around the lake with him, having a wonderful chat, and learning more about local life. Kavindu also organized an unforgettable safari for us, which was simply breathtaking. The wildlife, the scenery, and the overall experience were beyond words. He also arranged a village tour that gave us a true taste of authentic Sri Lankan culture. We took a peaceful bullock cart ride through the jungle, enjoyed a boat trip on the lake, and participated in a traditional cooking class led by two incredible local women. The food was delicious, and the entire experience felt so genuine and special. We are beyond grateful for the love, hospitality, and care we received from this wonderful family. If you’re looking for an authentic local stay while supporting a small family-run business, we highly recommend Sigiriya Hillside View Villa. This experience touched our hearts, and we will cherish it forever. Truly amazing in every way!

Everything! It was cozy, equipped with everything you Need. Peaceful, clean and chilled location. The owners were very kind, helpful and hospitable, they kept checking on us even though we were barely staying for one night. The food was lovely, simple and exceptional. It’s way more worth than the price they charge. Worth the money. It’s a must stay if you are looking for a getaway with serenity.
