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.).

United KingdomWe had a lovely 3 nights at Shan Mango Homestay. The hosts couldn't have been kinder, breakfasts were tasty and very generous and rooms spacious and clean. The pool was lovely to dip into after a day out. It's a gem in the jungle and thoroughly recommend it.

NetherlandsNorhing. Tip for the owners: some tourists prefer thick blankets, which might be provided as option.
We stayed for 4 nights at Shan Mango Homesray. It was great experience driven by the following plusses: spacious rooms, very very clean, perfect working showers, outstanding breakfast, nice swimming pool and maybe most important the friendlyness of the owners, who are very willing to make everything comfortable for their guests. Side notes: having dinner is basic but very very well prepared and more than enough. You will not go to bed with an empty stomach. We enjoyed it for two times. Location is a few minutes drive by tuktuk. For us perfect, because location was good, but just outside the tourustic center of sigirya. Everything arranged is against a very fair price. Thank you Shan Mango Stay

Such a sweet home stay. The owners were lovely and looked after us. We had a big comfortable room, clean and quiet. The garden and pool is an oasis, peaceful. Breakfast was good and we did order an evening meal the first night, it was a huge portion for one person. Delicious. They also called Tuk tuks if you need them and they were very reasonably priced.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
The property was in the heart of the jungle and based in a great location, only a short Tuk Tuk ride to any shops and restaurants. They took time out of their day to give us a short tour of their beautiful garden, where they grow they own fruits (we even got to try some!). The family are fantastic and really looked after us, they booked a tour and cooking class for myself and my Dad which we really enjoyed and highly recommend. Our next stop was Kandy and they arranged a taxi for us too. I’ve been travelling for 6 months now and I can honestly say this was one of the best places I’ve stayed. I would definitely book another stay on my next visit to Sri Lanka :)

IranWe had a wonderful stay at Shan Mango – peaceful, super clean, and full of charm. Our hosts, Sugath and Chulani, were incredibly kind and helpful. They welcomed us warmly with a glass of fresh papaya juice and a big smile. Sugath arranged everything we needed – a great safari experience, a lovely local tuk-tuk tour, and a very comfortable taxi to Kandy. All the drivers were polite, punctual, and shared useful insights with us during the rides. The swimming pool was clean and relaxing, surrounded by mango and banana trees filled with adorable little animals and singing squirrels playing around. Such a magical and calming vibe. Breakfasts were delicious and very generous. We had to leave early in the mornings, and they made sure we had our breakfast ready even before regular hours. Overall, everything was perfect. A little piece of our heart stayed at Shan Mango. We truly recommend this place – it’s not just accommodation, it’s an experience you’ll always remember. ❤️

You can really feel the soul of this place — something rare in tourist spots. Peaceful, authentic, and full of heart. Highly recommended!

United KingdomWe had a fantastic stay at Shan Mango. We had the two double bedrooms and stayed for 5 nights. The bedrooms were spacious and clean. The pool was great and set in a beautiful garden. The food (breakfast and lunch/dinner) was home-made and excellent - have the (very good value!) curry! We really appreciated the quiet location, but it was still easy to get to the sights. Our hosts were lovely and welcoming.

We loved our hosts, Chulani and Sugath, they were very welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. The pool was very refreshing and peaceful, and it was wonderful to be surrounded by a beautiful garden, with butterflies, peacocks and squirrels, entertaining us, accompanied by birdsong. If you need anything arranged at all, the hosts will sort it for you. Our highlight was the elephant safari. Also we had the Sri Lankan home cooked curry one evening and it was delicious. The bed was comfortable and the shower powerful, much needed after the day’s heat! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
