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.).

IndiaThe food options are very basic specially the breakfast. They just have fruits and bread butter to offer if you are a vegetarian.
This place provides basic accommodation, the room was very neat and clean. The owner is a gentleman who offered us a drop to Lion's rock early morning at 5 am. The staff also was very polite and helpful.

NetherlandsI got bitten up by mosquitoes during the night. A mosquito net would have been welcome. There was a anti mozzie plug but it wouldn't stay on inside the plug, so useless. Also be aware to see the sunset/ sunrise you have to go up some rocks. I had strained my ankle and it was only possible with steady shoes
The location is great, so are the food and breakfast. The staff is awesome!

The viewpoint rock was incredible to watch sunrise over Pidurangala and Lions rock! The manager Jaya was amazing and went out of his way to make our stay memorable! And 10 minutes beautiful forest walk and you’re at Lion Rock. The home cooked meals in the restaurant were delicious!

Sri LankaThe overall pictures show mainly the best and new rooms while we got for a "big discount" a rather basic room. The room was fine, the bathroom very old and shabby. Price is okay but it should not show up as a big discount and you have to specifically look at the room pictures when selecting the options because rooms differ heavily

United KingdomThe shower didn’t have any heated water working. We didn’t need it during our stay, but it would have been nice to have the option.
The property is super close to Sigiriya/Lion rock and is definitely walkable (10mins to entrance) no need to get a Tuk Tuk if you want to save some money. There is also a fantastic viewpoint from the back yard where we were able to view the sunset on Sigiriya/Lion rock. This alone is worth every penny of the stay!

MalaysiaAm scared of pests, so it rained one night, and a huge scorpion came towards the restaurant area, we were having dinner. The owner came through and swept the scorpion back to the bush. The location of the place is forestry and full of nature all around, so expect certain pest issues to arise. If fumigation can help, hope the lodge should do that. There is mosquitoes please keep your door locked once the sun starts setting.
The place is slightly isolated with local neighborhood surroundings. Close to the Sigiriya rock shouldn't cost you more than 300 rupees to the entrance. Also, there is a lake 1 KM from the lodge. The owner and one assistant did speak English, so it was easy to communicate. The check in process was quick and easy. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner at an extra cist which is still reasonable. So, they will ask you in-advance for the day, so your food can be served on time. We asked the owner to call us a tuk tuk driver, and he called one for us, whom we used the entire time we stayed here, he had reasonable prices. They don't have laundry service, however there is a close laundry mart close by, be sure to negotiate the price.

JapanThe wall with the next room was very thin, and the place was a bit out of the way with no stores, and the 'view' was a bit misleading, but because of the great restaurant you don't really need to leave the sight, and it's cheap and near to Sigirya Rock, and I'd stay here again! Thank you!
We had dinner on arrival which despite being reasonably-priced was absolutely delicious and the portions very generous! There was hot water and the bed was really comfy, and there was a nice terrace with chairs and table.

Nice location very close to Sigiriya Rock (5 min walking) and within 30/45 mins by car to other popular places (Dumbulla, Minneriya, Polonnawura). You need a car/tuk tuk to go to the closest restaurants The staff was very helpful. Rooms are essential but clean
