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 are 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 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.).

Sri LankaMy friend and I arrived at Royal Rock Sigiriya in the evening, and the location was a breeze to find on Google Maps. The roads leading up to the hotel were in great condition, which made the journey hassle-free. The setting of the hotel is genuinely breathtaking, especially our room on the 1st floor which offered a direct view of the majestic Sigiri Rock. Despite the rain, or perhaps because of it, the atmosphere was enchantingly beautiful. In the evening, we took a dip in the pool which was illuminated with captivating colored lights. Dinner was delightful, and we had a comfortable night’s sleep. Come morning, we were greeted by a friendly dog named Rocky – a lovely surprise. Breakfast was a delicious spread of Western dishes that set the right tone for the day. In summary, Royal Rock Sigiriya is a splendid place to stay. Between the scenic views, the warm staff, and the pleasant surprises along the way, our experience was nothing short of wonderful. Highly recommended!

The owner went above and beyond to make our stay amazing, arranging Tuk tuks for sunrise and sun set walks and then providing dinner in the lovely restaurant. The pool is a great addition for after the hikes. Roxy the dog is a great addition, providing loads of cuddles and love during the stay.

AustraliaWe had the most wonderful stay at Royal Rock! The staff were amazing, all of them! During our stay we experienced the best service, everyone went out of their way to be helpful and make us feel at home. The warmth and easy going friendly manner of all the staff made it a pleasure to stay here and I would recommend it anyone travelling to Sigiriya. Sujee the manager was really helpful and offered lots of advice about travelling around the area. He organised a tuk tuk for us to to get to and from the bus to Polonnurwa for a day trip and when we needed to leave, arranged for us to get a tuk tuk to Dambulla which waited with our luggage so we could see the Cave Temple then helped us find the bus stop to get to Jaffna. Sujee even woke up early to make sure the gate was unlocked for us to leave at 4am for our safari. All such thoughtful assistance and very well priced. All of this was offered sincerely and we were never left feeling any pressure. We also ate at the restaurant for two nights and it was delicious!!! So well priced and wonderful food - some of the tastiest curries and chilli paste we are in our trip. The chef proudly came and explained the different local dishes and how they were made and the ingredients were all fresh and grown on site. We can't recommend it enough!

Sujee the manager was a bonus in staying here, went out of his way to make our stay exceptional. Arranging for the on-site tuk tuk to take us at 5 am to see the sunrise on the rock, happy to arrange safaris and taxis. Great pool to relax in after your walk up the rock, the rock is so close we walked from the accommodation and back afterwards. Great breakfast and dinner, happy to serve drinks by the pool . Close to other excellent places to eat, few minutes walk up the road. If you stay anywhere else in Sigiriya you will be missing out!

United KingdomThey advertised a bar, but there isn't a bar, although they do sell beer.
The location was lovely with a view of the Sigiriya Rock fortress . The owner was very helpful and gave us a tip to go up the rock next to the famous fortress called Pidurangala rock. This was amazing and I would highly recommend doing this as its only 1000rps each vs 30 US dollars for the fortress. You can see a fantastic view of the fortress from Pidurangala. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was tasty, especially the turmeric pancakes with coconut and honey.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience I had during my recent stay at your magnificent hotel. From the moment I arrived until the day of my departure, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service, attention to detail, and the overall warmth and hospitality extended by your entire staff. First and foremost, the location of the hotel is simply breathtaking. Nestled against the backdrop of the magnificent Sigiriya Rock, the views from my room were absolutely stunning. I felt like I was in a paradise, surrounded by nature's beauty at every turn. The serene and tranquil atmosphere provided the perfect escape from the bustling world, allowing me to truly relax and rejuvenate. The quality of the accommodations at Royal Rock Sigiriya was unparalleled. My room was impeccably clean, spacious, and elegantly decorated. The comfortable bed and luxurious amenities ensured a restful and indulgent stay. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the beautiful furnishings to the thoughtful little touches that made me feel pampered and cared for. The staff at your hotel deserves special recognition. Each and every member of your team went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of exceptional. Their genuine warmth, professionalism, and willingness to assist with any request made me feel like a valued guest. Whether it was the front desk staff who warmly greeted me upon arrival, the courteous housekeeping staff who kept my room immaculate, or the attentive restaurant staff who catered to my every culinary desire, I was consistently impressed with the level of service. Speaking of the dining experience, the food at Royal Rock Sigiriya was an absolute delight. The restaurant offered a diverse range of delectable dishes, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Each meal was a culinary journey, allowing me to savor the flavors of Sri Lanka while also enjoying international cuisine.

PortugalThere was a small fridge in the bedroom but it smelled, so we didn’t use it. Some bugs in the room but you can always get this while out in the nature.
Friendly staff, very nice view to the Royal Rock. Rooms are simple but comfortable and the AC helps to keep it cool. The pool was very refreshing after a hot hiking day. Awesome breakfast, the mood is very calm and familiar, when we were having breakfast in the early morning, after having climbed to Pidurangala in one day and Sigiryia in the day after.
