Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United Kingdom*just a suggestion. Make the breakfast menu simpler. Choose a dish from each category, as there was much overlap.
Loved having the raised large room. Beneath us, the colourful fowl roaming free and nature. Staff all excellent, friendly and helpful. Thank you for my birthday cake. Delicious a la carte breakfast. Liked the leisure activities offered foc.

United KingdomThe staff are brilliant at the hotel, they helped us out so much organising tours to Lions Rock and the elephant safari. I also took ill on our last day, and the staff were amazing arranging to take me to hospital for treatment. The rooms are clean, comfortable and so peaceful. The hotel is a 10/15 min drive out of Sigiriya, but does have a lovely pool, hot tubs and gym.

United KingdomNothing it was amazing - oh I also forgot there were complimentary mini bars! AMAZING.
I really cant describe how absolutely fantastic this place is & its the staff that make it. I booked this simply because it was close to a few sights I wanted to see and we originally had the Kandalama Heritence booked but this came up as a deal, but wow this place was FANTASTIC and im so glad we stayed here. The food is absolutely incredible. Dulsha is an AMAZING COOK. He even came out of the kitchen every night and said hello. A lovely man, and we're so grateful for his incredible food. Saheel, the chap serving us, was also incredibly attentive & didn't let anything go a miss. One of my favourite people had to be Vimek (i hope i spelt that right, the young driver! He took us all over and even in pitch black after a day of driving found a herbal tea garden where I could pick up some cinnamon after speaking to a friend. What a guy! Hope to meet him again someday! The lads in reception were also so so so incredibly helpful i just don't know their names. I've got to stay this is one of the best places we've stayed & we came straight from a suite at the Waldorf Astoria, it didn't come close to this. I would 100% recommend, there might be slightly fancier looking hotels, but the people make this, and these people are amazing. If you enjoy monkeys on your roof, a quiet complex of only 10 villas and the BEST STAFF IN THE WORLD, then book this stay!

India⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a truly wonderful stay at Sigiriya Forest Edge Hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and perfectly designed for a relaxing stay. The food was delicious and fresh every time, with plenty of variety to enjoy. What stood out the most was the hospitality — the staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful I’ve ever met. They always went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Every time we needed to go out, there was a prompt pick-up service available, which made exploring Sigiriya so easy and stress-free. Overall, I absolutely loved my experience here and felt completely at home. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sigiriya — it’s the perfect blend of comfort, good food, and warm hospitality.

On top of that, the breakfast and dinner were delicious and made with such care. The hospitality here is warm and genuine, and it made us feel completely at home.

ItalyAn Unforgettable Stay in the Heart of Nature – Thank You, Sigiriya Forest Edge! Our stay at Sigiriya Forest Edge was simply unforgettable. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we were treated like royalty. Nestled deep in the lush Sri Lankan forest, the hotel offers a peaceful, immersive experience in nature — a true escape from the world. The rooms are absolutely spectacular — spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, blending comfort with the surrounding natural beauty. The entire structure is cared for with so much attention to detail, making every corner a pleasure to discover. A special thank you to four amazing people who made our experience extra special: Kalana, Isuru, Sajeeva, and Oshan. Your kindness, professionalism, and warmth truly made us feel at home. The chef deserves the highest praise — every meal was a delight! Delicious traditional flavors, thoughtfully adapted to European tastes without ever losing their authenticity. Every dish felt like a journey through Sri Lanka’s culinary heritage. The waiters were always available, ready to help with a smile, and attentive to every need. Their service was impeccable and made us feel incredibly well cared for. To sum up: the hospitality, the setting, the food, the rooms — everything exceeded our expectations. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for such an incredible experience. We can’t wait to return, and we’ll be recommending Sigiriya Forest Edge to everyone we know.

United KingdomEverything was great, it’s about a 15 minute drive from sigariya restaurants and lion rock, so bare that in mind if you don’t have a private car. We did so wasn’t an issue
The hotel staff were very pleasant, the hotel room was comfortable big and clean, bathroom was big, breakfast was great, big and wide selection of choices, had a pool, we didn’t get a chance to use as we only stayed for one night, I’d recommend 2 nights to enjoy the facilities

IrelandThe food in the restaurant was fine, but we found the breakfast menu complicated as it's broken into categories that we would have rather mixed and matched.
I loved the location set in the forest. There were lots of birds and monkeys around and the pool and spa baths a welcome respite after a day out touristing. Our room was lovely and the bathroom large and well appointed. The staff were super friendly and very helpful.

United KingdomReally can’t think of anything. It was very comfortable.
We were 2 families of 4 with young adult children and we all really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very comfortable - modern, spacious and high quality. Each standalone and private. The staff were great - attentive and friendly but not pushy. A nice, clean pool - not massive but big enough. (& a couple of jacuzzis and a steam room). One of us used the gym and gave a good report. We ate breakfast and a couple of dinners and the food was good wife quality and well priced. We found the location good for Sigiriya sights but with a driver, that’s less of an issue.
