How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe room is exactly as the pictures. It has enough space for 2 adults and 1 kid. It comes with a cool AC that you can control its temperature. We loved the place so much. My family loved sitting outside and chilling. The place is so comforting and peaceful. The breakfast was ok. Although my booking includes my kid but he wasn't included in the breakfast, but that wasn't an issue at all. The place is near the places we wanted to explore. The hotel arranged for us the Taxi from the airport to the place. The price was a bit higher than PickMe but it saved us the hassle. They also arranged a Taxi for us from there to Kandy for a bit less price than PickMe. For all tuk-tuks, we relied on PickMe and the buses (which we get to know by mistake and its waaay cheaper). Alongside all, they can do your laundry;1 kg for 900 lkr. The place is nice, the people are their to help and the quietness of the place will have you sleap in peace. We have plans to come back
When we received the room, the floor was wet and humid and it had a bit of smell. It got better when we switched on the AC and sprayed some perfume. Also, there were insects and mosquitoes which took us time to clear the room from. Make sure you get yourself a body spray to get rid of musquitoes away since the place is located in the middle of the nature.

Verified reviewWhat an amazing find! Milton and the team were so hospitable. The location was excellent, close to good restaurants, bars and landmarks. I would recommend you take a tuk tuk ride with Milton, who was very passionate about the local area. The view and farmland was spectacular, feeling safe at all times. Lastly the breakfast was huge and delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Nothing… wish we could have stayed for longer.

Verified reviewThe location. The paddy fields and the view is great but only for a couple of rooms and not all. Big property with lots of restaurants and an ATM nearby.
No wifi at the property. The dinner was closed by 7:30pm when we checked-in and they took cash only as payment. I had to walk to the ATM for about 5 mins in the sun, especially after our trek up the Lion Rock that morning.

Verified reviewLocation was great, beautiful views and the hosts son was really helpful and nice.
Host was pushy, walked into our room while I was in the shower and my friend hungover in bed. The place was not very clean and host cleaned the bathroom as she showed us the room, yet it was still not clean, dead ants covered the bathroom floor. I had a cockroach cooked into my breakfast.

Verified reviewThe view is incredible, you sleep right next to rice fields with the lion’s rock at the end, the garden is beautiful and has an interesting wildlife in itself (we saw peacocks, squirrels, fireflies…). The host was also exceptional, they provided tuk tuk transport, great advice, and laundry service. I would recommend it to anyone!

Verified reviewSuper clean and fresh room, perfect for a recomforting sleep. The views are incredibly beautiful and the personnel is kind.
Although they were kind, the only negative place that we would like to note is the uncertinty regarding prices. Our personal experience: 1) we ordered friend rice with vegetables and egg for lunch and the next day they wanted to charge us x4 what it costs in a normal place (the person also seeemed not to be aware of the price for each item, just saying random numbers) 2) the first tuktuk ride to Sigiriya was clearly offered free of charge, but we had to ask about the price for the one to Pidurangala to actually know it was going to be charged, which seemed sketchy (and a bit expensive). To sum up: perfect place to spend a night and climb these rocks, just be aware of the potential scams and ask for the prices first.

Verified reviewFriendly family run guest house with good location. Some rooms are nicer than others, ask for a room with a view. They have Grey Langur monkeys that come, they are shy and not aggressive. There was a big area of black mould on the back wall behind a curtain and in the bathroom. Don’t be tempted to get their tuk tuk service to go to Kandy, Polonnaruwa or any of the towns beyond a 20 mins drive, it’s far too long and a small car on Uber or Pickme is the same price.
