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.).

NetherlandsEverything was perfect
We had an amazing stay at the Sigiri Jungle Villa in Sigiriya. The host, Janaka, was the most welcoming person ever. He made us feel at home and was willing to help us with everything. He speaks English very well and is always open to have a fun conversation or give you a recommendation. We had two amazing meals and three delicious breakfasts cooked by him or his family members. The location is close to the center while still having a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The garden reminded us of the jungle and we saw all kinds of animals while eating on the terrace. Rooms are very clean, comfortable, and big. And the shower is the best shower we had here in Sri Lanka. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you visit Sri Lanka, come here and enjoy the hospitality of Janaka and his family.

We truly and strongly recommend this stunning and beautiful place. It is situated a bit out of the Main Street, surrounded by nature and the sounds of birds. You could relax and rest in a big and very clean room. The hosts are incredibly kind, friendly with always a smile in their face. The breakfast is very rich (and continental). You could also eat lunch or dinner there and we suggest to eat here because the food is really delicious and cooked only for you.

United KingdomThis was the perfect start to our Sri Lankan holiday. The owner and his family were so helpful. He helped us to organise transport and had suggestions for the best trips. The villa is in a very tranquil location but also close to the Lions Rock entrance and a walk or tuk tuk ride to restaurants. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious Sri Lankan food served outside near the rooms. It was a lovely spot to sit and relax in between activities. We loved our time here. Thank you.

SpainIt’s a family owned place and it is so beautiful! Away from the busy road, however walking distance to the main road in order to go to the center. ( at night advisable to get lanterns) The owners are very kind and available to help you with everything you need; breakfast was amazing! We wished we could have stayed more so to enjoy the garden and the facilities.

RomaniaAbsolutely nothing
The place was amazing. We were greeted by an authentic sri lankan family, very welcoming and eager to help. They helped us with everything from recommendations to massages, cooking us food (it was amazing, traditional, great and very tasty) and even driving us around. The acomodation is beautiful and quiet, situated at the edge of the jungle. Very close to lions rock. The rooms were clean, spotless and an excellent value for money. Would highly reccommend!

ItalyThe room had a strong smell, probably coming from the detergent of the bedsheets.
This was a really nice place. In 4 weeks of Sri Lanka it was one of the cleanest rooms and bathrooms we have seen. The owner is friendly and made us a delicious breakfast. We would for sure recommend this accomodation.

DenmarkMinor thing: we also noticed the room was a little smelly, but we think it’s because of the cleaning (chemicals used) so we made sure we opened doors and windows - and the smell disappeared.
Superb, nothing less. The service was excellent: e.g. the the breakfast was great, they arranged a driver (at a competitive price) for a trip, and they just had an eye for the small details that would make our stay worthwhile. Good shower and a comfortable bed. Sigiriya Rock is at walking distance.

An incredible place literally in the middle of the jungle. We were charmed by the place, which was surrounded by greenery and tranquility. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The hosts were extremely kind, warm and hospitable. They sent us off with a rich and very tasty breakfast. We regret that we only stayed for one night and hope to come back again someday.

Czech Republic-When you asked for breakfast for specific time this time only means for them that they start slowlu working on it - so you will get it half hour after the asked time (2/2 days was like this) - it is not a big problem, but in case you have something agreed before it is better to count with it :)
It was very nice and clean. The staff were kind and helpful and tried to help us to rent the scooter. The location was quite good and calm - but to get closer to “village centre” with lot of restaurants and cafes and nice view for the rock you have to take tuk tuk or other transportation (just FYI). Breakfast was good - very standard in Sri lanka - egg toast, butter jam, fruits. One day we got also coconut sambol and rotti.

GermanyRooms are simple, but spacious and incredibly clean. Has all essentials: no kettle, but absolutely not a problem when the manager of the property is serving tea and coffee free. Location, off the main road. Amazing if you like somewhere a bit quieter, away from the tourist hubbub, but still accessible. 20-min walk to the Rock. Some tuk-tuks ask for more to drive them down the back street road. We just asked them to drop us off at the main road entrance and walked from there. Breakfast - sensational. Five stars. Home cooked coconut rotis and hoppers. Fresh, served at your selected time. But now the star of the show: Property Manager, Fernando, is a hospitality king. Waiting up late for us, to greet us with great welcome and ensure we had booked all of our drivers/activities for the next day. Making sure we were getting the best rates for our tours and tuk-tuks. Whatever we needed, Fernando delivered. He even tried to give us back our tip! But he deserved every penny. If you're reading Fernando, sir, thank you so much!!
