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...).

Beautiful location, away from the hustle bustle of the city centre but close enough to visit the sites. Amazing staff that were constantly looking after our every need.

NetherlandsAlthough we liked most of the foods, the a la carte menu was over-priced (USD denominated).
The hotel itself including the tented suite which was very spacious and clean. The srilankan breakfast options are a must-try. Very friendly and accommodating staff

AustraliaOnly issue is I wish I had one more night to stay there to experiance it more.
It was our first time in Kandy and the hotel was in a good area just outside side main town. We stayed in the Royal Tent which was great value and added to the experience. The room was good size and all modern fixtures like you would expect in a hotel room. On greeting the staff was welcoming and assisted with all our needs wheather it be in hotel or outside. If you want hiltop hotel with a differance rather than a standard hotel give this place a go.

AustraliaWe loved our stay here. 1 night turned into 3! The room was gorgeous and facilities very good. The food was very good also. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. We highly recommend Elephant Stables. It had an amazing view, one to the city centre, but felt miles away and very peaceful. Lively to relax by the pool.

The hotel is beautifully decorated and the staff are warm, friendly and attentive. We stayed in the family tent and received excellent service from the small team. The food was exceptional, some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka and no request was too big or too small.

RussiaThe one and only downside is mosquitoes (we lived in a tented suit), but after our complain they fixed this problem on 90%, and the other is noises at night. dogs are barking all around the mountain where the hotel is. but it is also because of the tent where we lived. i would definitely return there, but i would stay in the main building
We loved everything, especially all the people who work there, the service and food is awesome.
