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.).

Big room with small balcony and pleasant view. The bathroom was a great layout (the water from the shower did not go all over the floor). Being able to use a lounge and kitchen was excellent. Short walk into the centre of Kandy. Nice hosts.

Sri LankaNear to town, 500m uphill walk but no problem. Many good restaurants in town, every day a food adventure. I loved seeing the monkeys playing while having my morning coffee on the balcony, seeing the birds and chipmunks scrambling around.

United KingdomI've stayed here 3 times before and wouldn't stay anywhere else in Kandy. Clean, comfortable and run by a lovely family. It's in a great spot, near to town and in an area where you get a feel for real Sri Lanka community .. not just tourists ☺️ would never have any hesitation in recommending and value for money is exceptional.

PolandSmall challenge with signs of how to get to the place. Host sends photo, but the house is not marked at all, so can be confusing. Look for the yellow Beatle VW car and a stick of trip Advisor on the window.
Fantastic hosts, tones of important tips where and when to go and what to see. Spacious apartment, very clean, hot water, kitchen, tea coffee accessible. Quiet location. Nice old, colonial furniture.

United KingdomPlace was advertised as with washing machine but you had to pay to do laundry.
The rooms were big and spacious, also pretty clean and barely saw any bugs. Shower had hot water and was big. There’s a balcony connected to the bedroom which is nice to sit during sunset. There’s a big living room to make use of outside the rooms and also a small kitchen with a fridge/tea/coffee. There’s only 2 rooms in the complex (owners live next door). Hosts were very friendly. You can do laundry there for 1,000 washed and folded back to you. Only downside is the place is 15 min walk away from the centre and slightly uphill (but not terrible)

Czech RepublicNothing, everything was perfect.
An extremely nice homestay. Very kind and helpful owners, an elderly couple. My room was big, with high ceilings, hot water available, comfortable bed. At walkable distance (20 mns) from the Temple of the Tooth (but it does require some climbing from the Kandy road). Laundry service available. Very good breakfast at an extra cost. The owners arrange tuk tuk rides. Common area with electric kettle and fridge. A peaceful oasis in the chaotic city of Kandy. I would definitely come back!

United Kingdom- Wifi- it was terrible for most of the time. I had to stay on my last night until after 1-2am because I could not book a hostel for the next day. My phone does not support e-sim so I had to reply on wifi. I could not even load the booking.com page (following my trip to Sri Lanka and all issues I had- I am changing my phone). - No kitchen per say- I was under the impression from the photos I saw on here and google that there will be fridge in the kitchen. There is none. There is only plates and mugs, and a kettle. because it is so humid in Kandy- no food can survive outside. I had to throw food away. It does also give the impression they are more hospitable but no- you do not get to talk to the family much. - Cleanliness- my sheets were clean, but overall my room needed a bit more cleaning- too many spiderwebs. - It was difficult to find- my taxi went in circles a couple times until we find it..even his navigation could not find it easily and he was Sri Lankan.
Let me start with the good things: - The host was incredible kind. He showed me the pictures of his family which were in the main hall. He was very kind to tell me about his family. - they also send you an email with details around sights to see in Kandy which is quite helpful.
