How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThis was such a unique experience. The room is set high among the trees and was very peaceful. The hosts are extremely kind and attentive. They make you feel part of the family and will do their best to meet any requests. The food was delicious and plentiful. The hammock was a nice place to relax and reflect on the adventures of the day. I would highly recommend this place.
The stairs to the room need some repairs to give a better feeling of safety. The shower wasn't warm enough for me.
Hello madam! Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback upon your 3 nights stay with us during your stay in Sri Lanka. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. Regarding the stairs to the tree house, yes we were supposed to build a new stairs anyhow it was delayed. But happy to let you know that now we have built the new stairs to the tree HOUSE. Already have uploaded photos to the gallery. Extremely sorry if any inconvenience caused. The hot water, it need to adjust the temperature, if you let us know that we would definitely help you on that matter. Thanks again for selecting our place and hope to see you again one day. Thank you, Pradeepika..

Verified reviewThis is the first time for us to stay in a tree house. This place was very nice, with privacy and close to nature. We felt immersed in the forest with lots of wildlife around. This is a very comfortable place to escape from the city. The environment was clean, very functional, with a hot water shower, an electric fan and hair dryer. The host decorated the room nicely with flowers, welcoming drinks and amenities. The room has no a/c but was very airy. It comes with a mosquito net so we slept comfortably. At night we saw some fireflies as well! And the most important thing is that the host and her family were so nice and took care of us very well. They offered a lot of help to our transport and planning. Breakfast was included and dinner can be requested too (extra charges, reasonable and affordable price). Don't miss the Sri Lankan food they cooked! This is a really nice place to stay especially if you want to have some interaction with local people. Thank you so much. ♥️

They are super helpfull, warm and very kind. They were always happy to help us or just to have a chat and tell us something about theirs country, culture and food. The mels were also really delicious. The area of Dambulla is also worth seeing. I really recommend this place and I wish I could come back here one day.

Nishenka took us on safari in his jeep, and an Ayurvedic massage was arranged for us on our way back. We could have had a cooking class as well.

Verified reviewIt was a magical experience to stay at Dambulla tree house.The owners were very welcoming and the food on offer was totally delicious, friendly, helpful staff with a good explanation for every dish they served. If you love to cook authentic foods they arrange it in their farm hut, it's an awesome experience to know how they prepare local foods.. I loved the rustic architecture of the treehouse accommodation and the beautiful green surroundings . The bed was comfortable and I had a good sleep. I saw and heard many beautiful birds and other native wildlife, such as squirrels, jungle fowls, mongoose, land monitors and more fire flies during the night. It was a great place to relax and also a good base to visit the many sites of the cultural triangle, Dambulla, Sigiriya, Pindurangala.. They have well organized jeep safari service to watch wild elephants..

Verified reviewA tree house has wide open windows which can be kept wide open (mosquito nets over the beds, not many mosquitos though). During the day, it is possible to encounter birds or squirrels; at night, to see fireflies. So, the experience translates into living and sleeping in the canopy. The green forest-like scenery is the greatest but not the only value of the place. Other benefits of the place are: - the location is conveniently very close to the main attractions: Dambulla cave temple, Sigiriya, Minneriya National Park and Pidurangala Rock - the safari jeep hire (with the driver) to conveniently visit the Minneriya park Probably naturally to Sri Lankans, the hosts are very kind and caring and love good humour. Rooms are kept clean and toilets/showers are well maintained. The place offers Sri Lankan food and also the possibility of a cooking demonstration/workshop.
