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.).

AustraliaThe room decor needs to be updated. The orange colour is ugly. Maybe change it to a green or blue colour it would be more fitting. The pool needs renovating.
The restaurant and bar area is gorgeous. We got to feed the ducks in the pond. The bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThe only downside was that the outdoor areas felt a little tired and could benefit from some refurbishment.
We stayed at Sigiriya Village Hotel for two nights and found it to be a great base for climbing Sigiriya Rock, which we did at sunrise—highly recommended! We booked two rooms (one double and one twin), both of which were clean and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms. One of the rooms did have a slight damp smell, but overall the accommodation was pleasant. The main building with the bar and restaurant was very nice, and breakfast was buffet-style with plenty of choice, all well prepared. We didn’t dine at the restaurant in the evening as we wanted to try some of the local eateries within walking distance, but we did enjoy light bites by the pool for lunch, which were very good. The pool was lovely, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. A nice bonus was the free head massage included with each room, which was very relaxing. The only downside was that the outdoor areas felt a little tired and could benefit from some refurbishment. That said, the peaceful setting and proximity to Sigiriya Rock made it a great choice for our visit.

IrelandNothing particularly, the pool changing area could be improved?
Location was eye-wateringly stunning looking up at the rock from the pool or the dining area. Accommodation is very private in lodges/cabins dispersed throughout the spectacular unspoiled nature-filled grounds. Service and food choice excellent too.

Belgium-As mentioned in other reviews, the price feels quite high compared to the actual condition of the hotel -The rooms had a musty smell -Breakfast gets crowded with tour groups, who seem not to be hotel guests - not the most intimate atmosphere
-Exceptional location, just off the main road with great restaurants nearby and close to key attractions -Lovely pool to enjoy the hot days -Friendly staff (special shoutout to the pool guy — he was so sweet!) -Large property, so the rooms set further back offer privacy and peace -Some entertainment in the evenings, occasionally with live music or a singer

United KingdomWe felt our room needed modernising eg with more power outlets and brighter lighting. It also had a strange smell. The hotel seemed to be set up to cater for large tour groups. As independent tourists eating from the menu as opposed to the buffet we waited a long time to get our meal and the food was served luke warm. The price of the dishes on the menu was unclear as there was just a statement at the end saying tax and service charge would be added without saying what these percentages were. (Incidentally after a lot of inquiries we discovered they are 18% and 10%).
The view from the pool area was spectacular. The pool was very large and clean and the pool man very friendly. The grounds had a lot of mature trees and were well maintained. The rooms were large and the bed comfortable.

CanadaThe cabins are a bit lacking in natural light, but they’re in the jungle so that’s not surprising.
Gorgeous accommodation in its own bit of jungle. Beautiful pool with stunning views of Lion Rock, the cabins are spacious and well designed, the restaurant and bar are also large and fabulous.

United KingdomI personally found the restaurant too busy with groups but it was a very busy time of year It would have been great if guided wildlife walks could have been arranged around the grounds .
Beautiful grounds. Great location. Large room which was very quiet and very comfortable. Staff were very kind and friendly. Buffet breakfast and evening meal both varied and very good. Hotel had a lot of guests but the grounds and the set up of the rooms meant you still feel quite private. Many large groups when I visited in February which made meal times feel very busy. I ate out locally a couple of evenings which was fine. Live musicians , different ones each evening which I enjoyed ,
