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.).

FranceSigiri Home Stay is perfect to discover Sigirîya in the most authentic way. The location is very close from important sites to discover, it’s quiet in the night but you can easily reach restaurants and the lake by walk 👌 The room was very clean and the breakfast very generous and tasty with various things. Sithi our host, made everything possible to make our organisation easy and fluid, and he knows very well what to do and where to do it to enjoy Sigirîya in the better way. He organised with us activities for good prices, and our transfer from a place to another, and gave us so many precious advices ! Thank you for welcoming us at home 🥰 I recommend 100% this place if you are coming to Sigirîya !

United KingdomCan't think of anything. If anyone reads this, please dont support the places that ride elephants. They are mistreated badly and traumatised. They've been abused since a baby, and riding them is bad for their spine. Please dont support these places.
Really nice people always wanted to help. Good location. Would definitely recommend 👌

It’s a good basic accommodation while visiting Sigiriya. What makes it great was Sithi and his wife. The breakfast was amazing and Sithi was extremely helpful in giving me advice and helping to organize our trip to Sri Lanka!

TurkeyThis place is perfect if you’re traveling with friends! Sithija was amazing—super friendly and funny. He gave us great local tips and even helped out with transportation. If you’re on a spontaneous trip, he’s the go-to person for exploring Sigiriya and the surrounding areas. The rooms are clean and have all the facilities, and it is in the middle of the jungle! Restaurants and bars are a couple of miny walking distance. We definitely recommend it, such a cool experience!

United KingdomOur room was full of mosquitoes when we arrived. It took a 40 minute killing spree to make it habitable. Some kind of anti-Mosi plug-in would be a good idea or coils outside. The bathroom floor is very slippery. Aircon worked but a fan would've been good too.
Great host, Sithi knows exactly how to help you get the best from your time in Sigiriya. We especially appreciated him taking us in his tuk to Dambulla, waiting with our luggage whilst we visited the cave temple and then getting us safely on a public bus to Kandy. Local restaurant recommendation was good (Wew Thawulla). We ordered the bbqd fresh sea tilapia, and asked for just traditional sides as we love Sri Lankan food - it was delicious. The room is basic but fair for the price, mosquitoe net was good, and needed.
