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.).

NetherlandsThe room is downstairs and felt a little boxed (although it's not small!) but no problem if you are out and about in the city all the time!
The room is clean, with comfy beds and the best shower we had in all our locations through Sri Lanka. Our hosts welcomed us in their home and where very friendly. The homemade breakfast is very good aswell! Location outside of Kandy city centre (so with fresh air) but just 10 minutes walk down hill to Kandy Station. Uphill is a little more challenging ofcourse but for a small amound you can take the tuktuk.

IndiaGeyser was not working. But it wasn't that cold. So manageable. There are little red ants. Probably due to the location. Location is at the hillside. Tuktuk usually refuses to go there or ask for higher fare.
Best place to relax with these beautiful family. Host is really helpful. Place is super clean and disciplined. Nicely decorated. Best for family and couples. Room is large and comfortable beds.

We had an absolute amazing stay at Zuni’s. The hosting family are a wonderful and service minded couple. They made us great breakfasts and tasteful dinners. Always with a big smile on their faces. The room is good for a family of four and everything is clean. We really recommend this homestay for your stay in Kandy.

NetherlandsIts on a rarher steep hill, so be prepared for adventure We managed to get there with a tuktuk.
Everything was perfect. You could not ask for a warmer welcome than what this lovely gives. They make you feel very welcome and are there to assist you with your every need. With only a short 15-20 minute walk to the city Centre, this is a real hidden gem. Would reccomend this to anyone. And to top it all off, the view is spectacular.

EstoniaThe WiFi was quite slow but it was not a big problem for me. For travellers with big backpacks, walking up steep slopes to the guest house to be honest is quite challenging. But if you take a tuk tuk, it should be fine.
Zuni and his family showed fantastic hospitality and great care during our stay. They were super helpful trying to make sure that our stay would be comfortable as much as possible. The mother always prepared more than enough breakfast for us and most importantly, the breakfast was always tasty. She made fresh Hoppers in front of us and that was interesting to see. :) She helped us with laundry at a really good price which you basically can't find in the town. When we arrived quite late the first night, the family helped us order some takeaway food which was not just delicious but also with a huge portion. The room facility is kinda basic to be honest but it was clean and very comfortable to sleep. I slept very well especially after my Adam's Peak trip.

IndiaIt was very clean and the most smiling family as usual you can see people the same in Sri Lanka. It’s a bit up you have to go and around 2 -3 kms away from bus stand and Kandy lake. But it’s a great place to stay and a wonderful family.

ItalyZuni’s home is a villa up the hill in Kandy, it’s really clean and nice. The house is full of light and windy, with a great view from the kitchen and the garden. We also had a kitchen class, we cooked rice and curry with Zuni and her daughter and it was so beautiful. Also the breakfast is highly recommended because it’s huge and tasty.

We met the whole family who were all super kind and helpful. They are a genuine lovely and friendly family. They made us an amazing breakfast, regularly offered us tea/coffee and always attentive to our needs or questions. The mother did not hesitate to do our large amount of laundry and the father drove us around the city for a whole day showing us the good spots of Kandy. The room was large and very clean. We are very happy we chose Zuni’s home stay and if we were to return to Kandy we would definitely stay again.
