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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomThe food was good and staff were friendly but the restaurant was dated and had no atmosphere. The room wasn’t super clean and the bathroom needs a makeover.
Beautiful location and within walking distance to the national park! Birds, monkeys and bats seen from our room.

PolandProperty was fine, we coudnt use the common area in our tree house as it was dirty and furniture were damaged. This could be improved.
Location was perfect as Willpatu NP is next door. A great chance to see local life, as you can walk around the village/ lake. Place was nice and clean but we found it a bit pricy for what it is.

RomaniaIf you are not used to having small geckos in your room you could find it strange, but the place is in the middle of nature, so it is normal. Shower water pressure could be better :) .
We stayed 2 nights in the tree house. The staff in this place was amazing, they went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests (and we've had a lot of questions ). Delicious and affordable food, big portion to fill your belly after a game drive. The location is right next to the national park. The room is comfortable, but not the fanciest, with mosquito net on the lower bed. The terrace was amazing, you can see squirrels, monkeys, hornbills flying around, and even during heavy rain you can rest and relax outside. You can organize game drives directly from here, with a private safari 4x4, half day or full day for affordable prices. Thank you so much for having us!

IsraelWhile the facilities were decent, the pricing seemed a tad steep, perhaps reflecting the premium on its prime location. Despite a few insects in the bathroom, our overall experience remained largely unaffected
Our time at Wilpattu Tree House was a delightful immersion into nature's embrace. The staff were warm and attentive, ensuring a seamless experience throughout. The treehouse offered a unique vantage point to observe wildlife, with our balcony providing enchanting glimpses of passing animals. Situated near the national park entrance, it served as an ideal launching pad for our safari adventure.
