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.).

DenmarkSuch a nice place. Excellent staff.. the receptionist hooked us up with unique adventures. And and.. after 3 weeks with Indian food( don't get me wrong i love Indian food) but to get a extremely well done spaghetti carbonara and an even better Shepards pie from the brilliant cook just made my days, not to forget the excellent breakfast. ! So don't hesitate, book one of their beautiful rooms and you won' regret it.

India1.TV subscription expired so we couldn't even connect our phone to TV through Bluetooth to watch any movie or video . 2. As the room doesn't even have either a fan or AC, it's quite a suffocating environment inside the room especially at night. For a room which costs around 8500INR per night must have at least fan or AC
The behaviour of the staff especially the manger and the cook was very good Service is also excellent Food quality was excellent

IndiaThe Hotel is very comfortable, cute, cozy, quiet and peaceful. The interiors of the rooms are very nice and the food is also great! Breakfast spread is good but some of the food being served at breakfast was cold. The hotel is slightly away from the hustle bustle of the city so it was very peaceful and relaxing.

SwitzerlandThe rooms are not soundproofed at all (e.g. you can hear the reception phone, people moving chairs) and I would recommend closing the windows at night to avoid waking up to outside noise (barking dogs, birds, etc.).
Willow Hill is a very cosy hotel, nice and clean with a great view. The staff are polite, attentive and gave us recommendations on what to see in and around Ooty and allowed late check out.

United KingdomWe did not realise the bottles of water in the room are local water which upset our stomachs. Maybe worth asking for bottled water if you have a sensitive tummy. Garden seating needs cushions.
We had a wonderful time at Willow Hill a very relaxing hotel and a great hotel to get away from the hustle and bustle. The staff are very attentive and will accommodate every need. The food is superb and they are very generous with portion sizes. The gardens are beautiful to sit in and the views are amazing.

IndiaRoom charges could be a little less on weekdays atleast 😂😅
Away from city hustles-bustles, it’s a peaceful secluded stay. Room interiors seems renovated recently so it’s super clean & has vintage vibes. Amazing room interior, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had pre booked meal , whatever we ordered was a treat to the palate. Breakfast was again very tasty & like home cooked . One of the best stays & meals I have ever had in a hotel. Will surely come again if I visit Ooty again.

United KingdomDue to the weather it was somewhat cold. There appears to be no form of heating, but extra blankets were available for the beds. The sound echoes in the corridors rather a lot.
Extremely good staff and the meals were all excellent. The chef used fresh whole spices, not powdered, a very big plus point.

The Willow Hills is located amidst green trees, quite serene environment but still not that far from the main town. I went with my husband to this stay, and i must say it is perfectly romantic for couples. The rooms were WOWWW! The view from the window, the outside garden area it is sooo beautiful and also well maintained. The staffs were really helpful and their hospitality is really welcoming. You won't regret an ounce staying here. It is a mandate stay for a nature lover who wants to enjoy OOTY in the perfect cold and breezy way. And also Earl's Secret the most rated restaurant is exactly opposite to this stay.

United Arab EmiratesNothing adverse to report during our stay.
The personal and courteous service from the polite staff at Willow Hill will always be fondly remembered. Mr. Laxminarayanan, a true hospitality industry professional, met us on arrival and handled our check-in. His presence at the main desk was re-assuring. Willow Hills appears to be a recently built property. Therefore all facilities were new and in working order. Everything worked perfectly, including the internet, telephone, electricity, plumbing, elevators etc. (Ooty has number of 'heritage hotels' with woefully inadequate service facilities which has ruined many a short stays). We drove to Ooty and the hotel provided spacious parking facility for private cars. We were assigned the Cypress Room, which had the view of the mountains and the green valley, that was both pleasing and invigorating. The spacious interiors were tastefully fitted out. The large king size bed had comfortable mattress and pillows. The black-out curtains were greatly appreciated. The hotel included breakfast and dinner along with cost of accommodations. This was a welcome gesture on their part. The quality of dining offered at the 'Bird of Paradise' restaurant with excellent, with high marks for service and quality to their Chef, Mr. Joyce. I found him and his staff to be hardworking and keenly interested in delivering excellent quality to the guests.

IndiaEverything was perfect!!
Smooth check-in process. We were served a warm tea on arrival. The manager was there to welcome us and show us around. Breakfast was exceptional. They have a wide range of options from freshly cooked idli, vada, choice of dosa to pancakes. The room had a breathtaking view. Cozy wooden cabin vibe in the room. The pictures on the internet match what we saw here. The gardens are well maintained and this felt like the perfect place for us to relax and rejuvenate. This place is located away from the crowded areas on top of a hill. You will need your own vehicle/taxi to get here. Hospitality at this place is 10/10. Special mention for the signboards placed at multiple places on the way that helped us get here with no confusion. I'm so glad we stayed here and can't wait to be back again.
