How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGreat stay here, a little out of town centre, which made it very relaxed. An easy tuk tuk to get around. Beautiful views. Good breakfast. Hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Spacious and clean room.
Would’ve loved a mini fridge in the room. Hosts kindly stored what we needed for us

Verified reviewIt was quiet and peaceful with beautiful views. Great breakfast and dinner on the terrace on the top floor. It is outside Kandy and ideal to escape from the noise and hubbub of Kandy but near enough to see all the sights during the day. Kind host who even gave me a complimentary tuk tuk to the station. Felt very welcome and relaxed here, a highlight of my 4 weeks in Sri Lanka.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, stunning views, and dining experience on our rooftop terrace.

Verified reviewThe room was super clean and spatious! The staff was nice and helpful and breakfast was very delicious! The surrounding was very calm (beautiful neighbourhood) and there was an awesome view from the rooms and the rooftop terrace!
We missed fridge in the bedroom, but the staff was kind enough to allow us to use their fridge. There are very few dining options in the walking distance and the hotel restaurant didn't yet exist at the time we stayed there. However, it is possible to get the food delivered via Pickme app, or ask the owner to deliver it with a surcharge.
Dear Petr, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our clean and spacious rooms, delicious breakfast, and the peaceful surroundings with stunning views. Our team is always happy to assist, and we’re glad they could accommodate your needs during your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the fridge and dining options.

Verified reviewBeautiful, huge room with amazing balcony overlooking hills and trees, with lots of birds around. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Lots of room to spread out. The bathroom was spotless, good rainfall shower. Staff and owner were friendly and breakfast was tasty and filling. The villa is a bit outside of town and wifi was a little patchy but overall I wished I stayed for longer!

Verified reviewNew homestay which opened 3 weeks ago. Found the place though another homestay which was already fully booked. Located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. Little out of downtown (40min walking distance or just take a tuk), but that was OK for me. Restaurant/shop area at about 20min walking distance. Since everything is new, all works perfectly and it's super clean. Very comfortable bed, working AC, great rainfall with hot water (best shower I took so far in Sri Lanka!). Communication with host is 10/10, speaks English very well and can advice a lot about travel. Delicious local breakfast is included. Shared kitchen available at the rooftop with a view.
Just be careful walking around after dark since many households own dogs which can be a tag aggressive to strangers. You will be fine as long as you stick to the main road. Moreover, it would be nice if the host can provide a list with recommended eateries nearby. Nevertheless, would come back again.

Verified reviewI recently had the pleasure of staying at a newly built hotel in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and it was truly a little gem. The hotel is surrounded by nature and tranquility, offering stunning views of the mountains in the distance. The rooms were clean and spacious, each with a lovely terrace where I could enjoy the serene surroundings. The top floor also had a relaxing covered terrace with a small kitchen, perfect for unwinding and taking in the views. One of the highlights of the hotel was the small organic garden behind the structure, which added to the eco-friendly experience. As always in Sri Lanka, the hospitality was top-notch, and I felt well taken care of throughout my stay. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway in Sri Lanka.

Verified reviewRoom was very spacious, clean and with all the amenities you would find in a good hotel. All the rooms seem newly built and well maintained. Close to Kandy town but located in a quiet and scenic area with really great views especially from the rooftop pavilion which also serves as the dining area. Breakfast was included and was excellent. Lunch and dinner was available upon request.
