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.).

AustraliaJust one small thing - no air conditioning. However, there is a fan mounted on the wall which kept us a little cooler.
The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The location was 10 minutes outside of Kandy centre, but for me this was a positive due to the chaotic nature of Kandy itself - it was nice to have some peace out in the nature. The host himself was extremely welcoming, very friendly and happy to help without almost anything

Sri LankaThe house is located down a narrow, steep road - one tuk-tuk driver refused to go down (though others had no issues). However, the neighborhood is very safe for walking, and we discovered that accessing from the other side offers a wider, gentler route through beautiful rice fields. Don't miss the spectacular walk to the right when leaving the house - it's like having your own private scenic viewpoint!
The host Sri makes ALL the difference here! The room itself is simple but spacious, with a proper shower box and hot water (no A/C needed in Kandy anyway), and a super breakfast, but what truly sets this place apart is Sri's incredible hospitality. Located 10 minutes by tuk-tuk from the center, it's great value for money. Sri went above and beyond - sharing his fridge, providing ayurvedic remedies when my partner was unwell, booking cultural dance shows at the best seats, giving endless helpful advice, and even driving us to the bus station for free when we left. He also helped organize activities for our next destinations through his contacts. Sri embodies the warm Sri Lankan spirit and his genuine care made our stay memorable. Highly recommended for travelers who value authentic hospitality over luxury amenities!

United KingdomOur room didn’t have curtains on the window, which if you’re sensitive to light, then best to bring an eye mask. But this also meant the room was nice and light during the day time.
Peaceful location which gave a good respite away from the bustle of the town. Well looked after by the host, lovely breakfast. Helped with booking train tickets from Kandy - Ella on the day, which we were very thankful for as had been messed about by another provider! Nice bathroom, with hot shower.

HungaryEverything was so good.
I had a wonderful stay here! The host was incredibly kind and welcoming – he even came to pick me up from the train station when I arrived and when I leaved which was such a thoughtful gesture. The breakfasts were very delicious, with very good fruitsalad (on the beautiful balcony), and he truly took great care of me during my time here. He also gave me very helpful tips for traveling around Sri Lanka, which made my trip even better. If you're looking for a warm, authentic, and peaceful place to stay, I highly recommend this place. You'll feel right at home!

PortugalThe host is very friendly and approachable, will give you suggestions for places to visit in Kandy, where to shop, and always tries to make sure you're comfortable. I also did a tour to Pindurangala, Dambulla and Spice Garden which was very nice. The room is comfortable and you can have a delicious home made breakfast on the balcony 🙂 It's only a 10min tuk tuk drive from the center.

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay at this place! Sri and his parents were amazing and made us feel very welcome. We especially appreciated the great tips the host gave us for exploring the city and discovering excellent restaurants. The room was cozy and well-equipped, but the real highlight was the stunning balcony with a view of the jungle. The breakfast was delicious and the perfect way to start the day. The hot shower after a busy day was a real treat. We highly recommend this homestay and would definitely return!

Lovely host, communication, incredible breakfast and the room/house is in such a good calm nature area, still close to the city if you want to experience kandy.

Location is great, really quiet and pretty but only 15 mins away from the city and tuktuks are very cheap. Sri was so welcoming and willing to help us with anything that we needed.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The room was clean and very comfortable. We loved the balcony and having a super delicious breakfast there enjoying the views and birds around was just so great! The location is a bit off the main city but we really enjoyed this as it wasn't so busy and the rice fields close by were a perfect place for sunset. On top of this, Sri and his family are so kind and helpful with everything! We were also able to rent a scooter which was really helpful too! We will definitely be back!
