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 reviewAbsolutely amazing homestay if you are wanting to stay in Sigiriya while in Sri Lanka! Anu and his family were super accommodating and went above and beyond- couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Breakfast both days was amazing and authentic (as shown in photos), room was clean and spacious, as was the bathroom- no complaints! Anu also took us to Dambulla for the day showing us the main sights. During our stay we went up Pidurangala Rock and explored the restaurants which were all in walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend to couples, group of 3!

Verified review10/10 perfect stay at Anu's place. Very well maintained place the family has built. The room was super clean and also the smell in the room was fantastic. We were provided with Soft and fresh towles, the bed had white linen (Anu's wife is running a laundry business so you will not get disappointed by how the sheets look like). Dinner and breakfast is beyond amazing and you will not regret eating Rice and Curry at their place. Best homestay experience we had in Sri Lanka and we've already traveled over 2 weeks though the country. 10/10 recommend a stay. great hospitality!! Thank you Anu and family we enjoied it a lot!

Verified reviewWe loved this place. The room is beautiful, spacious with a lovely outdoor terrace, table and chairs. Anu and Assanti really made our stay something special. Their kindness, warmth and knowledge of the local area is exceptional. Assanti’s cooking is like an episode of Master Chef. Every meal was delicious and lovingly prepared. Anu took us everywhere in his Tuk Tuk and made sure we had the best experience possible. We based ourselves here for 4 nights and didn’t want to leave. Best accommodation in SriLanka. Highly recommend

Verified reviewEverything! Amazing, huge, clean and spacious room and bathroom, it actually looks better than the photos! Beautiful grounds, especially when light up at night. You will be the only guests here, Anu is incredibly attentive and will help you plan your time in Sigiriya and help you get there. We really enjoyed spending time with him! The food, cooked by Anu's wife was delicious....though try and have an empty stomach as portions are huge!! Anu, his wife, dog Leon and cat Kitty were all amazing. Just getting to know Anu, we wished we could have stayed a few days longer! P.S- Anu is also an amazing wood carving artist, you will be able to see a lot of his work in the rooms and building!
That we had to leave!

Verified reviewAnu was one the most hospitable hosts I've ever seen. From welcome drinks to homemade breakfast, we were amazed by his kindness. His place is very close to the Lion's rock and he took us there on his tuktuk. The rating is honestly an 11 out of 10.
His address doesn't show on Google maps, so it's trick to find.

Verified reviewAnu and Asanti are very warm and welcoming, and they have a wonderful home. Very cosy, relaxing and clean. It makes you feel like they are excited for you to visit them. Food was wonderful, there is no doubt you will be well fed with them, and Anu was very helpful both with things one would expect, but more importantly so also with the things you don't expect. He's a great host and highly recommended.

Verified reviewA very modern and clean room in a good location - couple of coffee spots less than a 5 min walk away. The kindest hosts - we asked about nearby gyms and Anu let us use his weights. Anu made our time in Sigiri amazing - he has a tuk tuk and transported us around for a good price. Anu knows a very good spot for sunset - this was one of our favourite activities in Sigiri. Anu’s wife is an amazing cook so we also enjoyed some dinners for a good price. The best place we have stayed in whilst in Sri Lanka for such a good price :)
All perfect - thank you so much :)
