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.).

The SkyDeck has a wonderful location overlooking Kandy with the best view. Although steep, we managed to walk up from the city centre on two occasions. Our host was very hospitable, making suggestions and booking tuk tuks for us. We only had breakfast once due to an early train, but it was delicious. .

ArgentinaIt’s located up in the mountain, roads are tricky and not in good condition. Sometimes tricky to get a tuk tuk and a bit far from everything.
It was super clean, the facility was in perfect conditions, no bugs or anything weird. Away from the busy city and you get an amazing view. Felt super comfortable and safe (they property had a gate) as a women traveling alone. The host is very nice and helpful.

IndiaSome dogs at the neighbour but they did not bark during the night, was not a problem even if I’m sensitive to noise for sleeping.
We had a very good stay and good night at their place. Also, they could arrange the taxi for next day and it was very good.

AustraliaHad a wonderful 3 nights here. It’s only a short tuktuk ride out of the city, but feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle. Amazing views overlooking Kandy - particularly on the verandah where we enjoyed delicious breakfasts. Clean, comfortable, modern rooms with all the amenities you need. Plus, the host was very welcoming and responsive.

CanadaAmazing views, huge balcony, comfortable room. Location is at the top of a hill away from the city which provides this incredible view however it will require a TukTuk to access. Owner was great, offered helpful advice about nearby restaurants and train information. Good wifi. Free clean water. Laundry amenities available.

Our stay at SkyDeck Kandy was excellent. The SkyDeck is a short tuk tuk drive from the centre, which is ideal if you want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Kandy but still have peace and quiet after a long day exploring. Our room was clean, big and very comfortable. It also offered great views of Kandy from the panoramkc balcony. The owner is kind, attentive, and friendly. He was very helpful throughout our stay and made us delicious breakfasts (probably the best we had in Srilanka!). We would certainly stay at SkyDeck again if we returned to Kandy and would recommend it to anyone who plans to visit the city.

United KingdomIt's a bit of a walk into the centre of town but very doable. Definitely need to catch a tuk tuk back as there is a very steep section when returning.
Wonderful place to stay in a great city. The view from the balcony was marvellous day and night. Breakfast was simple Sri Lankan food but very tasty. Asith was a very helpful host. We really liked Kandy, a very vibrant busy city. We stayed 3 nights and this place is the place to stay to explore the city.

Singapore- Location was a little far out of town so we had to take a tuktuk each time, but this was more of a minor inconvenience rather than something we dislike. Do note that the homestay is in a residential area with no shops or eateries around - Water pressure was low and the hot water was not that hot too - The shower area is demarcated by a shallow floor depression but the water and soap suds would still overflow to the rest of the toilet area when we showered, and because of the tiles used, the floor was slippery when wet.
- The city view from the room - Room was of a good size for two of us and the shower was very spacious - Bed and pillows were comfortable - No mosquitoes in the room - We could top up our water from the water dispenser outside - Quiet & peaceful location - The host has a beautiful cat named Shadow

NetherlandsWe loved everything. From Kandy center it’s not easy to walk there (too far with a backpack) but there are many tuktuk taxis available so it’s easy to get there.
We had a very comfortable room with a great view because the location is higher up the road, not in the center. The breakfast was very nice. And the bathroom beautiful and clean. Very nice owner. We can definitely recommend it.
