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.).

AustriaVery nice operator of this homestay. Jeep tour to the elephants was very impressive. The elephant families were 5 to 10 meters away from the jeep.... Without being disturbed. He also had a few other good ideas about what to do in the area. Breakfast very good and plenty. Absolute recommendation

United KingdomThis place is a complete goldmine - one of my favourite ever stays! The room and bathroom are spacious, clean, and so comfortable. Lots of towels provided, lovely bedding and even bathroom products provided like new toothbrushes and razors. The breakfast is amazing and filled us up for the entire day! The family are so lovely, special thanks to Lakshita for the morning safari he took us on where we were able to see so many elephants. They also brought me a huge pot of tea at 11pm - doesn’t get much better than that! Will miss staying here and being greeted by Rex :)

GermanyThis place is perfect for discovering Sigiriya. The family is incredibly nice – we stayed there at Singhalese/Tamil New Year and lit some fireworks together. The next morning we received a celebratory breakfast – super delicious. [The owner] organizes safari’s and trips as well and can help you go around easily. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

GermanyThey made everything possible for a wonderful stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had a big bathroom with everything we needed. The food was amazing - you should try to eat here as often as you could! And we had a wonderful Elefant safari with the host and a special time being surrounded by a Elefant herd just by ourselves. Also they helped with laundry and tuk tuks and gave us bicycles and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Many thanks

IrelandThe host and family were so welcoming, and even provided us with a safari tour. He is very skilled and we managed to always be the first ones to see the elephants as he knows the area very well. The rooms were clean and spacious, with a great bathroom and shower. The breakfast provided every morning was delicious and we sat on the porch overlooking the garden. It’s in a great location close to some lovely restaurants and a short drive from lions rock. I couldn’t recommend this Homestay enough, we really enjoyed our visit.

FranceWe stayed 4 nights at Lakshitha family and were very happy to be in an authentic family. They are very dedicated and want to ensure your well-being. The dinners and breakfast was delicious, perfect home cooking and more than enough. The location is very quiet and far from traffic. The room was very clean, a bit small if you have a lot of luggage like we had. The patio with a table enables to do some work and rest. Unfortunately we did not have time to do a safari with Lakshitha, he is a driver for safari tour and showed us pictures of elephants and wildlife he encounters when he takes customers with him. I am sure it is worth it. Thank you so much for this nice family stay and good luck for the future.

The facility is located in an excellent location, close to Sygirya and national parks. The room is large, the bed spacious. It has air conditioning, which is important because of the heat. Breakfast is simple, very tasty. The owners are wonderful people, they welcomed us and we felt at home. The garden is wonderful, and the girl who served us breakfast is the most beautiful.
