Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaIt would be preferable to pay by card.
Great view! A quiet, relaxed and easy-going place to stay in Kandy. Our rooms were easily accessible for a member of our group with walking difficulties, so this could not have worked out better for them! The common space with a balcony complements the rooms nicely. Breakfast was great - a lovely pot of tea

AustraliaRooms are a little small but fine. 15 min walk into the city, big hill, but that’s the cost of having such a view
Nice accommodation with beautiful view over the lake. Balcony area to enjoy the view.

NetherlandsIt's a bit of a climb up when coming from the centre of Kandy (but would def. recommend) and it's not a real solo traveller place (although I did meet some nice people)
The view from the terrace is great, the staff is really nice and the rooms are really comfortable. An easy shortcut to the centre of Kandy from the hilltop as well.

Great location! With breakfast you have this amazing view over Kandy Lake. Nice walking to the city centre in about 15 min. Friendly staff, who helped us find a guide to go Knuckles Range Forest (we went with guide Achoke and arranged this with his brother Thusi). Airconditioning and fan worked well!

United KingdomNo complaints
The views of the lake and Kandy were just as photographed. The room and bathroom were spotless and recently refurbished. The breakfast was good. There is a great walk round the lake to the Temple of the Tooth and central Kandy. It is well located a short walk to the centre of town. The monkeys playing on the roof of nearby houses and on the balcony were entertaining.

RussiaPayment in cash in LKR (or in dollars, but +5-10$). Although the price in the booking is fixed in dollars.
Small cozy room with a balcony and a gorgeous view of the lake. Delicious breakfasts. All services in the room are available. The most luxurious place to stay during my trip to Lanka.
