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 KingdomSuch a lovely room we stayed in. Very clean and modern- the bed was very comfy and the bathroom was great. The owner is the most lovely and welcoming lady who can help you out if you have any questions about the town or Sri Lanka! She also has a lovely daughter who we sat and chatted to🥰

LithuaniaThe bed is a bit short. Poor view from the window.
A very clean room, located in a quiet area. To reach the city center, you need to go down the hill. The room is equipped with all necessary items (air conditioner, hair dryer, refrigerator).

VietnamThe pictures make it look like there is a nice view from the room and that there is a communal seating area but that’s actually in the main families sitting room in a separate part was not totally sure if we could use it as it was through a separate door. The room to stay in has big windows which opens onto a concrete staircase and walk way with no privacy so you need to have the curtains closed the whole time. When we asked for drinking water we were given water out of the tap (not safe to drink tap water in Sri Lanka as a westerner/traveller) which was quite concerning. Quite far out of town (10min tuktuk) and dangerous steep road at night with some unfriendly street-dogs so not suitable for walking really. The hosts are genuinely wonderful lovely people and were so kind and helpful I cannot fault the family at all. Just not quite the right location or set up for us personally. If you don’t mind being further out and without a view this could be a great cheap accommodation option!
Family hosting was absolutely wonderful and lovely, strong aircon, very soft bedsheets and comfy pillows.

SwitzerlandGot a room at the ground floor - it’s beside their family kitchen and I couldn’t open the windows, so there’s been that light smell of food the whole time I was there. However, not a major issue if you are not a fancy traveler. The location is quite far out of town.
It’s ok for one night.

Really lovely space in Kandy. It was just minutes from the city so we could grab a Tuk tuk to explore, but it was also tucked away from the city chaos which was lovely after long travel days. The aircon worked really well, the bathroom was modern and clean, and facilities were very comfortable. The hosts were so kind and helpful and allowed us to check out early to get to the train to Ella. Would recommend.

United KingdomBeautifully presented spacious room with the most comfy bed we stayed in. The bathroom is western contemporary style like a hotel. The host was very helpful. We choose the location as it was a little out of town and wanted a quieter stay. It's a 10 to 15 minute walk into town. We walked in every day as it is down hill, best to use a tuk tuk to get home through pick me. Highly recommended.

GermanyThe cleanest room we had so far. First, it was a bit challenging to find the hotel because it‘s brand new and the locals don‘t know it yet. But once we found it, it was amazing. The family welcomed us really heartwarmingly. Beside the room with comfy bed, there was a clean bathroom with hot water and everything you need. 10/10.

AustriaOne point that might be a bit inconvenient is that we had to be back at 11 pm. We only did sightseeing so it was fine for us. It was very slightly dusty on a tiny part of the room.
Very friendly and helpful hosts. Super nice room with aircon.

United Arab EmiratesOur family had the pleasure of staying at Mount Airy, Aniwatta in Kandy for one night (June 9th - June 10th), and it was an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and exceptional service. The property itself is nestled in a picturesque location, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills and lush greenery. The serene and tranquil atmosphere provided the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our room was impeccably clean, spacious, and elegantly decorated, with all the modern amenities one could ask for. Mrs. Damayanthi (the co owner) and her staff at Mount Airy, Aniwatta went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. In fact, they were amazingly attentive and friendly, always ready to assist with any requests. We were particularly impressed with the delicious breakfast, which featured a variety of authentic local dishes with milk rice and fresh fruit juices, all freshly prepared and presented beautifully. Although there are only a few high-end rooms, the property boasts an Ayurvedic Spa and treatments on-site (there's a Ayurvedic channeling center at the adjoining ground floor, named Kandy Ayurvedic Channel Center- KACC). Professional Ayurvedic therapists and consultants are available, and I had the opportunity to enjoy an Ayurvedic massage that was amazingly relaxing. The location is ideal for exploring Kandy as its so close to the Kandy town, and with easy access to all the major attractions. Despite our short stay, we felt completely rejuvenated and cherished every moment spent at this charming property. We highly recommend Mount Airy, Aniwatta to anyone visiting Kandy. It is truly a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty. We look forward to returning for a longer stay in the future. Thank you to Mr. Keerthi, Mrs. Damayanthi (Owners), and the entire team for making our stay so memorable!
