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.).

GermanyI really enjoyed my stay at The Traveller Kandy. The rooms are so nice, the view is just brilliant. Loved doing my yoga in the morning with this awesome view. The first evening I also enjoyed a really really delicious rice and curry there and had some good talks with the lovely couple - thank you so much guys! ☺️

GermanyGreat accommodation in Kandy! The facilities (wifi, bed, bathroom, shared kitchen) are top notch. I loved the location just outside Kandy to escape the crowded, noisy and hectic city. Still, it was very easy to get to Kandy city centre by bus or tuktuk. The view from the terrace was incredible. Harshana, the owner of the accommodation, is super friendly and helpful. No matter what the issue (finding the best bus, booking train tickets or contacting local authorities) he always provided a helping hand. I have felt very comfortable and safe and can absolutely recommend the accommodation.

GermanyEverything was perfect ❤️
Beautifully furnished and large room with patio and great view. The bed is very comfortable. Loved that there were shelves, hangers, light beside the bed etc. (which is not that common everywhere) and a nice table in the room. Everything is new and very clean. Great breakfast. I liked that I could use the kitchen and prepare tea/coffee at any time. Daniela and Harshana are very lovely and helpful hosts, I will definitely come back when in Kandy again.

The rooms were spacious, and beautifully designed, offering breathtaking views of the riverside. Conveniently located near attractions and transportation, this place surpassed all expectations.

GermanyOne has to know that there is no door between the bathroom and the bedroom, depending on who you are traveling with, it might be uncomfortable :-)
The place is so lovely, mostly calm, and has a big terrace with a wonderful view! The room and the bathroom are beautiful and clean, you feel like home! Also, the owners are very friendly and help you planning your stay in Kandy. The bus station is near, so for about 50 rupees one can easily take a ride into the city. It is possible to have tasty Sri Lankan dinner and wash laundry which was very nice for us! We really enjoyed our stay with Harshana and Daniela :-)

GermanyNothing to complain, it was just perfect!
Amazing place! I instantly felt at home and could have moved in right away…the room is stylish, clean and super spacious with a lot of options to put your stuff and details like the kitchen that just make it so much more comfortable. The view on the Knuckles is amazing! The owner is currently in Europe but his lovely father is taking care of everything and makes you feel very welcome. I actually came back a second time and will come back again if I’m in the area. Thank you for everything!

United KingdomUnfortunately the internet was not working and despite asking to top it up we did not have it available. Maybe just some lost in translation but it added up to the fact that we asked for some towels and never really had some. We did not insist too much as we wanted to go out and had our own towel we brought for emergency and I am sure by reminding the host we will eventually had some available. All considered, minor things but can make teh difference when travelling
The room is very cozy and we really appreciated the effort it was put in making it so cozy and nice. The room is simple but it has everything you need and it is spacious. The check in was made by the host's father who was extremely nice and accomodating. The room has a very nice terrace from which you can enjoy a very nice view. The entrance of the house has a small kitchen that has the essentials for having a coffee or a tea, making some toast and else. In its simplicity it is a very hidden and conenient gem.

SlovakiaWe didnt like the mosquitos and ants (but they are everywhere in Sri Lanka, so it was not the big issue). The father of the property owner brought us some kind of stuff to resolve the mosquito problem, he was very kind. He even gave us fresh mangos from his garden, and it was very juicy and delicious.
Location was great, its little bit far away from the city centre, but if you are looking for really quiet place in the nature, its the right place for you. The place was super nice, interesting open concept with bathroom (no doors) and really big teracce with amazing views on the river, mountain and the part of the city.

United Kingdom1)The location is on a mountain with a narrow road, taking drivers a minimum of 30 minutes to find the place. 2)We were unaware of ongoing renovations when booking on Booking.com. 3)The promised construction noise from 10:00 am -12:00 pm started at 8:00 AM. 4)Despite choosing accommodation with WiFi, it disconnected immediately and there were attempts to fix it. It worked later though. 5) Disturbing hammer sounds early in the morning. You need to turn on/off the hot water supply, and the shower pressure is low. The toilet bathes in water from the shower. It feels like living on a construction site.
Overall, our overnight stay was fine, and the hosts were very eager to please, engaging with us throughout. The view was good, and the mattress was soft. They had their own menu; we even ordered beer.
