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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

BulgariaAll was perfect!
We enjoyed our stay in Sigiriya Water Guest & View Point restaurant a lot - the room was big and clean, the host and his family were really nice and helped us a lot when needed! They also made us dinner and served us breakfast with the best view possible! We would definitely recommend and stay again in future.

United KingdomCommission for trip organisation is slightly high. However this seems normal for central Sri Lanka
Location was beautiful, couldn’t be better. Water tower gave incredible views of Lion Rock. We were able to sit and watch all the wildlife, great for bird watching. Family was so lovely and welcoming. We even had a party, with music and singing. We ate dinner once here, and it was some of the best food we have eaten in Sri Lanka. We regretted eating else where on our other evenings. Breakfast was varied and tasty. Host is able to facilitate all organisation of near by trips. Would definitely come back ☺️

IndiaNo negatives.
It's a cozy place around a kilometer from the Foreigners ' entrance of main Sigiriya Lion Rock entrance. Hence, makes it convenient to visit it. I also hiked to the Pidurangala rock thanks to the early morning Tuktuk arrangement made by the property. Room was very comfortable with all essential amenities. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Got a great flavour of local cuisine. And to top it all, view of Sigiriya from the property was like a cherry on the top. Having a coffee and a breakfast in that setting was much more than I had expected.

AustraliaI had an amazing stay at Sigiriya Water Guest & View Point Restaurant! The host was incredibly helpful, offering personalised tips and local knowledge that made exploring Sigiriya even more enjoyable. The view of Sigiriya Rock from the rooftop was absolutely breathtaking – a true highlight of the experience. My expectations were exceeded in every way, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The location is also perfect for exploring the area. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Sigiriya.

AustraliaWe’ve just had a perfect three night stay in this amazing place and don’t want to leave. We were so fortunate to have received the friendliest hospitality and most delicious local food from Sri Lanka’s best hosts Anjulu and his wife Madu. They were so generous they even played local music for us with their youngest son Kaweesha making a memorable guest vocal appearance. Located in an old water tower, our room had the most stunning views of Sigiriya Rock (walking distance) with a comfortable bed, decent bathroom and very welcome air conditioning. It was very peaceful too. Anjulu shared so many helpful tips and always made sure we were happy and welcome. We definitely recommend arranging drivers through him as all ours have been just what we’d hoped and none rushing us at any time. We highly recommend taking a jeep to the National Park and a day trip to Polonnaruwa. A real highlight was the lovely breakfast up on the terrace every morning and dinner down in the garden every night. In summary, we cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. It is welcoming, full of love and generosity and our room was comfortable and homely. Thank you Anjulu, Madu and family, we hope to come back again one day :))

AustraliaFantastic view of Lion Rock from the top floor breakfast balcony. We enjoyed many lovely refreshing fruit juices and cups of tea up there, as well as huge breakfasts each day with a variety of options. We enjoy eating out for dinner in town usually, but we had a superbly cooked evening meal on site twice, sitting in their lovely garden, and we are glad we made that decision. We were even entertained by the family. The rooms are part of a cleverly restored water tower, hence the name. Nice people who went out of their way to chat and get to know us, as well as helping us with local trips.

Amazing people that welcome you into their home stay, making it a very homey place. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was absolutely incredible and best we had throughout our holiday in Sri Lanka. Definitely recommend the curry !! They even organized a last minute elephant safari and trip to Dambulla. The room was very clean with a stunning view from the top. It offers incredible price value for the experience that you get. Would definitely recommend anyone staying in Sigiriya.
