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...).

Our experience at The Kingston Court in Kandy was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, Shawn, the host, welcomed us with such warmth and care that we immediately felt at home. His hospitality is truly exceptional — he goes far beyond what you expect from a host. Shawn not only helped us plan our entire Sri Lanka itinerary with excellent suggestions, but also shared valuable tips on local eateries, hidden gems, and must-do experiences. His local knowledge and passion for making his guests feel comfortable made a huge difference in our trip. Everything we asked for — he was always there to assist with a smile. As a beautiful gesture, Shawn upgraded our room at no extra charge — a thoughtful surprise that added even more comfort to our stay. The upgraded room was spacious, clean, and very cozy. The property itself is a hidden gem — full of antique charm, character, and peaceful vibes. You truly start appreciating the beauty of this place the longer you stay. Adding to the charm of The Kingston Court are the lovely furry friends on the property — Lola the friendly dog and Garfield the adorable cat. They added so much warmth to our stay, making it feel even more like home. If you’re an animal lover, they will surely steal your heart! Staying at The Kingston Court was not just about having a place to sleep — it was about experiencing genuine Sri Lankan hospitality, where you are treated like family. We left with beautiful memories and hearts full of gratitude. I would rate both the property and Shawn 10/10 without hesitation. I highly recommend The Kingston Court to anyone visiting Kandy. If you want a peaceful stay, personal care, and a truly homely atmosphere, this is the perfect place. Thank you once again, Shawn, for everything. We hope to return soon and stay even longer! Love from India.

I had a wonderful stay at Kingston Court in Kandy. The property was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. A special thank you to Mr. Shawn, the owner, who was incredibly helpful throughout my trip. His warm hospitality made me feel right at home. It was also lovely to know the place is named after his son, Kingston — a nice personal touch that reflects the family's care and pride in the place. Everything during my stay went smoothly, and I truly appreciate the effort Mr. Shawn put into making it a great experience. I would definitely recommend Kingston Court to anyone visiting Kandy and would love to stay here again in the future!

The lowest in roomrate with the most comfortable environment. Such great value in the current market. We love to travel and try out different venues.... The Kingston Court has to be in our top 5 of amazing valued places we have stayed. Highly recommended.

Sri LankaThe Kingston Court staff waited until we checked in around 2 in the morning... Mr Shawn was so nice and friendly. The place is beautiful and very clean and tidy... We were surprised at how children safe it is... Mr Shawn also went the extra mile in organizing a few toys for our child. We never expected that. The room was very big as well as the washroom.....

From the first contact with the owner I understand that our experience in this location will be a pleasant one. But in fact what we received was much more than our expectations !!! First the location is very good, easy to arrive by bus, very clean and well decorated, many commodities around. Shawn is the most amazing person we ever met! He helped us with a lot of advice, showed us around, and helped us to arrive in time to the railway station. He is the perfect person to contact if you need any help !!! Always ready to help and to support support people in need! Finally after just one day, we become family friends! His children are amazing, very sweet and well educated! It was really difficult to leave the place ! If you are a single woman travel, this is the best save place to stay in Kandy !

United KingdomAccess is up a steep road which was a challenge for our tuk tuk.
Spacious room with surprisingly comfortable bed (given that it was very firm). Had a really good nights sleep! Great to have access to kitchen facilities and some outdoor space. Shawn (the owner) is terrific - English is his first language so had some interesting conversations and were able to get recommendations from him about where to visit and where to eat etc.

United KingdomShawn and his boys were fantastic hosts and made us feel so welcome and part of the family - going out of their way to ensure we had the best time. The accomodation was just outside the city so it was nice and peaceful - easy to get local bus or pickmes into main Kandy. Facilities were great - it was nice to have a hot shower and access to a kitchen and living area. We also loved the added bonus of being around dogs! Would highly recommend and hope to stay again when we’re back in Sri Lanka in the future

We loved the energy of the place as soon as we stepped in (nothing better than three wagging tails welcoming you after a long trip all the way from Turkey🇹🇷). Perfectly clean,cosy decor,lovely room, and a kitchenette to top it all off. Let alone the lovely accommodation, Shawn, the host, was incredibly thoughtful. He accompanied us from the minute we booked until we reached our station to leave. He even prepared a tasty brunch for us since we were starving. Even more,he gave us lots of recommendations from shops to events and must visits. We are more than satisfied. We would give a 20 out of 10 if possible.
