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 reviewWe had a family room which was very spacious and very private too. The facilities were great and the staff could not be more helpful. Breakfast was tasty and filling. The array of fruit in offer was amazing.
We wouldn’t have changed a thing about our stay.

Verified reviewUpul was absolutely wonderful - so inspiring and made us feel at home from the very first moment. He shared the history of his family with us, which was truly inspiring. The food and breakfast were amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. The place is peaceful, and our room was huge, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. We already want to come back as soon as possible!
Nothing - everything was perfect

Verified reviewThe breakfast spread we were given each morning was plentiful. The staff were so helpful and informative, offering suggestions without being pushy. The hotel is a little oasis after spending some time in the hustle and bustle of Kandy. Room was very spacious and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony with the view.
The road behind the room was a little bit loud and woke us up a few times, we understand this is out of the hotels control though. It isn't walkable to get to the hotel, but getting a tuktuk is easy.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay at Kandy Tree Tops ! Travelling with two kids (4 and 7), it was a great place to relax in the lush garden setting, away from the noise and heat from the city. Upul, the owner, was super helpful to arrange activities and tuk tuks for us. We met his wife and daughter, and everyone was so lovely and welcoming!

Verified reviewThe tree tops are an oasis in the middle of a busy city. The buildings in themselves and gardens were really nice, but our room was unfortunately not. The breakfast was really good.
Our family room was downstairs, it didn't look like the photos at all. For the money we paid, it was not very nice. It was musty and mouldy smelling, and the bed linen was very old and stained, the furniture was very old and stained. The hotel was quite full when we were there with other families, so maybe we got the worst room because the other reviews are good. While our stay was fine it should have been considerably cheaper.

Verified reviewThe staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble and breakfast was lovely
The room we were initially offered (Deluxe Double) did not match the photos on the website - the photos are of the Deluxe Double with Balcony rooms and the difference is significant. However we could pay to upgrade on the day and the room was lovely.

Verified reviewOur stay at Kandy Tree Tops was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and incredibly well taken care of by Kuma. Even though we arrived late and the restaurant was already closed, Kuma went above and beyond to help us find a place for dinner and even arranged a trusted TukTuk driver for us. Steven, the driver, was super cool, easygoing, and made us feel right at home. The next day, Steven gave us a lovely city tour of Kandy, including a visit to the charming Tea Museum — a highlight of our trip! He also showed us the vibrant, organized chaos of Kandy life, which was both exciting and memorable. To top it all off, we had a delicious breakfast prepared by Kuma and Chandani — colorful, flavorful, and truly local. It was a real treat and a perfect way to start the day. The hotel itself is a true gem: the rooms are spacious, modern, and offer beautiful views. Kandy Tree Tops is definitely a wonderful address in Kandy, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and comfortable stay in the city.

Verified reviewWe stayed in a very spacious, spotless and perfectly equipped room with amazing views on top. Super comfy beds, perfect waterpressure. The breakfast was by far the best we had on our whole trip through Sri Lanka! The very friendly and very caring team make this place undoubtedly the probably best option in Kandy. They organized everything we needed, gave perfect tips and even brought the forgotten lunch package to the railwaystation in no time so that we made our train - with our lunch. This is unmatched service!! Do not hestitate to book Kandy Tree Tops!! We fully recommend to stay here.
Absolutely nothing.
