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):
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.).

We loved our stay here and would recommend it to everyone. So far, it has remained the nicest one we have stayed in and we already miss it. The room and bathroom are furnished beautifully, making it a very luxurious stay. The cabin is very private and has a nice view out over the fields. We woke up to birdsong and the nearby roosters, which we loved. The family who owns the stay is incredibly kind and looked after us well with snacks of fruit, great breakfast and a delicious dinner in their garden. They arranged for our Tuktuk to hike Pidurangala rock for sunrise which got us there before the large crowds and they also gave us bikes to use throughout our stay. It is well situated, a short tuktuk ride to main strips of restaurants, and a pleasant (albeit hot) cycle.

Beautiful and serene location surrounded by many fruit trees. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay one night, but I would love to come back here. The family that owns the place is warm and helpful with really cute kids. We had a truly authentic and delicious Sri Lankan meal. The jackfruit salad was my favourite along with the eggplant. The mangoes were from there own garden and truly something 😍😍

Staying here was one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Sri Lanka. This small, family-run business is something truly special. The owner has lovingly hand-built a beautiful wooden room with a stunning open-air bathroom—surrounded by nature and full of thoughtful details that make it feel peaceful and unique. The view from the property is absolutely breathtaking—lush greenery, birdsong, and on clear days. It’s the perfect place to slow down and soak in the beauty of Sri Lanka. And the food! His wife’s cooking is beyond amazing. Every meal was fresh, flavourful, and made with such care. It felt like eating with family—every dish was a celebration of local ingredients and traditional home-cooked goodness. What makes this place even more special is the warmth of the hosts. You can feel the heart they’ve poured into their home and their hospitality. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic, and truly kind experience, don’t miss this gem. Highly recommended!

NetherlandsThe hosts are the sweetest and most welcoming people we have encountered so far. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The level of detail surprised us, 5-star hotels can learn a thing or two from this retreat! The breakfasts and dinners in the garden are out of this world and definitely a must when you stay here! The free bikes were a nice compliment. Would stay here again any day!

SlovakiaThe most beautiful accommodation we’ve ever stayed in! We were warmly welcomed with a homemade juice – such a lovely touch. Everything was perfectly clean, like brand new – a beautifully made bed, a stunning bathroom, and thoughtful details everywhere. Tea, coffee, water, even cola, umbrella, hairdryer, fridge, air conditioning, fan, and even a power adapter – absolutely nothing was missing. And the surroundings? A lush garden full of fruit trees and a breathtaking view of Sigiriya Rock. Thank you for the perfect stay!

We had an amazing stay at Golden Rock Retreat. The house was located in a very tranquil place with an amazing view of Pidurangala rock. The cabin itself was well equipped with everything you need and thought of very well. Owners were the most loving people and made sure everything you desired was taken care of. Wifi was great, we had no trouble with two people streaming videos at the same time.

Breakfast included was a great bonus. We had dinner cooked by the hosts each night and it was delicious. The hosts were so kind and welcoming, we would encourage anyone to go ahead and book this place! Such a gem of a spot supporting a beautiful local family.

United StatesLovely quiet stay, only one room so you are the only guests. Beautiful views and nice cabin. Very hospitable hosta. Hot water was not really there yet, which isn't the end of the world since it's hot outside, The stairs down from the cabin to the enclosed external bathroom are a little exposed (would suggest the hosts set up a bit of canv a s to cover it, then would be perfect). Would stay there again.

The family was absolutely fantastic! They were so kind, helpful, and made us feel at home from the very first moment. Their hospitality was truly something special. One of the highlights was the food, the wife cooked the most incredible Sri Lankan dishes we have ever tasted! Every meal was a wonderful experience, made with love and care. We had such a fantastic time here and take so many wonderful memories with us. I can truly say that I’ve made new friends!
