Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

LebanonThere's nothing we didn't like in our one night stay. The spacious room can be equipped with more furniture like chairs and sofas, but the chairs provided on the balcony were sufficient for our stay.
Our Host was great and friendly, they also arrange the room for us and let us check in before our agreed time. They were very helpful, they even recommended great restaurants for delivery and dining in. They also offered us support in booking for a safari, but we were already booked a different offer that was slightly cheaper of the one they offered. The room is very spacious, and was very clean. The balcony is private and spacious too. It is furnished with two chill seats and is overlooked a gentle flowing river and surrounded by greenery.

The property was very clean and spacious. Mithila was lovely and her English was perfect! She was so happy and friendly and nothing was too much. We’d booked safari through her and she made us packed breakfast to go, then when returning gave us fresh watermelon before check out. Would definitely return

HungaryIt was by far the best accommodation on our entire trip to Sri Lanka. The room, bathroom and balcony were huge and super clean. The air conditioning kept the room nice and cool. It is very nice and quiet. The safari was super organized with breakfast and drinks. But the best thing about the accommodation is definitely Mithila we have rarely met such a kind and gorgeous person. She really organizes everything and has an open ear for all our wishes. Takes care of the food order, safari, enough water and even the laundry. We had a lot of problems with our arrival due to New Year and she supported us the whole time. Many thanks again to you! We had such a great time with you ♥️

United States of AmericaGreat spot to base yourself for Yala Park. The Cabana has 2 rooms available to book, one on the top floor with a terrace and one on the ground floor. My friend and I each booked one of the rooms which are equal in size and amenities. Very clean and a decent shower, good ac and wifi. The host was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She helped us with booking a Yala Park Tour. Best breakfast! Overall, great price and spot for access to Yala.

AustraliaJust note that it is a little far from the actual town. This wasn't a problem for us as we only stayed one night and were able to get dinner delivered (thanks to Mithila's recommendation) and Mithila made an amazing breakfast in the morning. 10/10
The room was huge and very clean, nice grounds and right by the river. Modern, clean bathroom, good air con and a ceiling fan. The host Mithila was amazing! We booked a safari tour with her before we arrived, which we highly recommend. It was a good price and we got a private tour with a great driver, Gayashan, who made sure we always got in a good spot for viewing the animals. Mithila told us about a restaurant in town that delivers which was perfect for dinner after our safari, and also recommended another place if we wanted to go into town. She cooked us a huge, delicious breakfast in the morning, checking first if there was anything we didn't eat and adjusting for us. I highly recommend staying here, booking a safari with Mithila and enjoying her yummy food!!!

Incredible stay, couldn’t have asked for any better. Slightly out of town but an easy tuk tuk ride in, or, if you’d rather stay in like us, the host gave us details of a nearby lovely restaurant that delivered food to us! She also cooks curry and rice and a lovely breakfast! The kindest most hospitable lady and honestly the CLEANEST place I have stayed in Sri Lanka by a long way. The safari was also amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place anymore. 10/10.

United KingdomSuch a well kept place! Rooms really big, with two beds, and plenty of space for luggage. It was spotless when we arrived, too! The AC and fridge are both very effective, and the bathroom is lovely, with a good hot water shower and a hair dryer. Mithila was one of the best hosts we had in Sri Lanka, so warm and friendly. She settled us in with a big pot of tea and some delicious banana bread, then proceeded to arrange dinner and beers for us - which came right on time, served outside. She even lit some citronella to keep the bugs away. Dinner was really tasty, and home cooked by Mithila and her mother in law. Delicious! Finally, when our safari tour dropped us back later than planned, it was no problem at all to check out a little later. Thank you Mithila!

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike it was all perfect.
The accommodation is first class .Situated in a quiet area but only a short ride to town and restaurants.Fridge and hairdryer in the room. WiFi connection is very good .Mithlia is a perfect host and goes above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble.Always a cup of tea available for you .Organised our safari trip to Yala ,Bundala nature reserve and our taxi to our next destination. She arranged tuk tuk when we wanted them and recommended a restaurant which was fantastic "The Smokey kitchen" You must go and have the special dish which is cooked in an open kitchen. Tuk tuk ride into town 400 rupees. If you book this accommodation you will not be disappointed .This was by far the best accommodation we have stayed in so far during our stay.

United States of AmericaThe location is a little far from town so you'll need to get a ride if you want to go out and get food.
Great place! My friend and I stayed in this two room home - he was in the bottom room and I was in the top room so we had the whole place to ourselves! The rooms are huge, both with large outdoor space. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are modern, and the property is beautiful. The host, Mithila, is super friendly and helpful. She booked us a well-priced safari at Yala and we were lucky enough to see a leopard! She also said she could order us food to eat at the place, but we decided to go out instead.
