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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

FranceBy far the best homestay we have ever stayed! The family is welcoming, friendly and always has a smile. Their three boys are so cute and polite. Their house is in the middle of the shady forest with beautiful surroundings. Breakfast is amazing !!! Delicious and changes every day. The room is spacious, clean and gets not too hot. Lion Rock easily reachable by foot, but family also organise transfer. Thank you so much for this amazing stay. Can't recommend enough

Gorgeous little jungle bungalow near to Sirigiya Rock and walking distance from a selection on places for dinner. Beautiful natural surroundings and very friendly family. Lots of birds and animals you can watch from the veranda and the breakfast was gorgeous. The owner also helped us a bit with our tuktuk, which we really appreciated!

GermanyThe family running this place is super kind. It was clean and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom. Nestled in nature surrounded by palm trees, the whole area feels very untouristy, with small homestays and family restaurants. There's no buzz of a touristy crowded town. We just wish we had more time to stay longer! The father of the family has his own tuk-tuk, so you can ask for a pickup when you arrive, or he can take you to Pidurangala Rock for sunrise!

SwitzerlandI stayed 4 days in this green lush garden homestay run by a very nice Sri lankan family and their 3 sons. A very calm place at a walking distance from the center of the village. Very clean and comfortable rooms and delicious home made food. The owners were always very cooperative and helpful and at the same time discrete. I had best rest after constant travelling and changing places. I definitely would come back again.

SpainThe room does smell because of humidity like stated in some of the previous reviews, so be mindful of that before booking. Other than that this is an amazing place, and extra clean!
Great place surrounded by nature and immersed in the jungle, you can go for amazing walks through the rice fields nearby. Very good dinners and above all the loveliest family and kids. We had a lovely time here!

SloveniaSurprised by some reviews! Book a super budget room, get great value, yet some complain about water pressure. Maybe opt for a pricier room if that's a deal-breaker.
Loved everything! Best deal in all of Sri Lanka - Wi-Fi, hot water, and breakfast included. The family is super nice and the owner's Tuk Tuk rides made exploring easy!

SpainThe location is perfect, 30 min walking to Sigiriya and near the road to take the bus to Dambulla. The owner's family is amazing, we felt like home. The breakfast is delicious and we had lunch and dinner there too. Everything was tasty and she could cook vegetarian dishes for me. Thank you very much! The room was big and we had a terrace to chill. Green Bamboo is the best place I've been in Sri Lanka.
