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.).

United KingdomThe view from the hotel room of the lake was amazing, the room was on the small side and there was no furniture on the balcony which was a shame. Unfortunately there was a problem with the electricity so I had to go to dinner with wet hair. I was the only person eating in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast and the staff were hovering all the time which was rather uncomfortable, it was done with the best of intentions but they were trying a little to hard.

United KingdomThere's a slight issue with condensation in the room. Probably due to lack of designed ventilation. Some doors have swolen with damp and are hard to shut.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Beautiful view of the lake. Good hot water pressure (which can be rare in S.L.) Excellent Sri lankan breakfast.

KuwaitFor what we paid for 1 night the least we could've had is clean hotel slippers, they provided pre used ones used by other guests I'm assuming, which was shocking since these slippers are supposed to be disposable. Towels were wrapped up neatly but wet not damp, wet. Carpet was moldy. And we could smell the mold when we slept, Breakfast plates smelled like eggs. Every cup and plate they used to serve us smelled like eggs. I've had better coffee in cheap local restaurants than what I had at the hotel. The bathroom doesn't dry even with the fan on, it was just a wet mess after we showered coz the water just seems to sit there unless you manually wipe it down. We would've done it ourselves but no wiper was provided. And most importantly they don't have a landline in the room to contact reception (which they later informed that we're supposed to call from personal phone. I didn't complain about anything coz the staff members seemed really polite and friendly. I think they just need a little more training on how to manage the hotel and what facilities to provide.
Loved the location, the hotel itself is located on a upwards hill so driving is a challenge but it's beautiful.

IndiaProbably the most underrated find on my trip - beautiful property with a great view and very hospitable staff! The view from the rooms are on par or better than anything you can find in Nuwara Eliya! The actual rooms are even better than the pictures, and very clean. And the breakfast was delicious (English Breakfast)! Would definitely recommend when visiting Nuwara Eliya!

NetherlandsIt was so cold and drafty! When we were in Nuwara Eliya it was only 7 degrees at night. The one thing the hotel seems to be missing is proper insulation and/or heating. Upon pointing this out the staff was so kind to provide us with a little electric heater. It got the room up to a more comfortable temperature during the evening, but as we turned it off when sleeping the draft quickly took over and the room became cold again. So much so that I ended up sleeping with lots of layers on and beneath the thin duvet, a towel and a woollen jumper.
Despite being a little hard to communicate with, the staff is super friendly. The breakfast is tasty. Comfortable bed, hot shower, great view over the lake!

DenmarkThe room was cold and damp, your clothes got damp after a few hours in the room. There were too many big furniture in the room, even though the bed was stated to be a king-size it looked max as a queen-size to me and it was shorter than usually. The optional dinner was the worst meal we have had in Sri Lanka. It had to be ordered 2 hours ahead, which we was only informed about at 7 PM, so dinner at 9 PM. When served the food was between lukewarm and cold, spice wise it seemed to only include chili - and a lot (I usually take Sri Lankan food at native spiciness, but this was very hot). On top of that it came at a high cost. The included breakfast was served strangely, we asked not to have meat in the breakfast, this resulted in a plate with 4 half mushrooms roasted on a plate with 3 dots of ketchup. Coffee is a local brew which is not in my taste, but then also served lukewarm. Staff in "the restaurant" lacks knowledge and routine around how to serve a meal - I also suspect poor English skills is involved. All in all an overpriced stay with no sense of luxury
The location is good, with a great view of Nuwara Eliya. The room was spacious and the balcony provided a fine view of the lake The bathroom included hot water They accept card payment
