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 reviewIt’s not a 5 stars hotel, but for the money paid it’s great. The sheets were clean, the breakfast ok, the location is great, near the main road and very nice restaurants like Dila’s Kitchen which is absolutely great. The host was very nice, she even arranged a tuk tuk to drive me to Sigiria Lion Rock and also a safari to Minnerya Park at a reasonable price.
The bathroom would need a repaint, but it wasn’t a issue for me. Also, being situated in the nature, at night there was a jeko lizard in the bathroom and a little one in the room, it can enter from under the door, so if you have a problem with that this place is not for you.
Thank you very much .🙏

Verified reviewEverything was perfect. Super clean and cozy room. I had so delicious breakfast everyday, seeing green garden. Host was so kind and I felt there I’m one of their family. The Padurangala rock sunrise trip was amazing and I went there twice. Host arranged tuktuk for reasonable price. The best choice in Sigiriya. Don’t hesitate to book here.

Verified reviewThe room was good (with a fan) and calm. You have 2 chairs outside to enjoy the view on the garden. The family was very kind and present for us. The breakfast was AMAZING. We stayed 7 nights and every morning we had this homemade breakfast outside with a great view and sometimes you can see animals. Good place next to good restaurants. Very worth it ! It totally deserved this great mark!
Sometimes it can be humid but it’s not the fault of the homestay but just weather conditions in Sigiriya.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here at Sigiri Sithru, we were warmly welcomed with a welcome drink and were able to settle in comfortably. Our breakfast was amazing! It was so lovely to sit out the front and watch animals and nature. It’s about a 40 min walk outside of the centre of Sigiriya but there are tuk tuks that will drive past which you can hop in and there are also places to have dinner near by! The place was the cleanest we have stayed in in Sri Lanka! We will be back!
The wifi is a little on and off but that’s normal for Sri Lanka!
I'm deeply thankfull madam.♥️
